Artemesinin and its use in fighting various forms of cancer

Please read conditions expressed on the Disclaimer page before continuing, thanks.

We are extremely grateful to Sammy Medlin for introducing us to Artemisinin, thanks Sammy!!

Do your research and decide if Artemisinin is right for you, then contact WellCare Pharmaceutical Company (find contact information, below), buy Artemsisnin and start taking it! Michael has survived, having had nineteen cancer tumors in his liver (they metastasized from his colon--colorectal cancer). He was not expected to live to see the month of June, 2003, because he chose not to undergo chemotherapy treatments a second time. He continues to survive, and we credit Artemisinin. We thank Sammy for introducing us to this valuable material. She is a survivor also. Nothing done to her worked before Artemisinin, and her cancer issues were worse than Michael's.

We gave our doctor (Dr. Glenn Deyo, of Lakewood Washington), a one-inch thick stack of papers representing the Internet/Web research I had done about Artemisinin. He reviewed all of it and agreed with our decision--Michael was going to take Artemisinin, period.
Many people from around the world tell us they will "talk to their doctors" to get permission to start taking Artemisinin. You are in charge of your health care. What if the doctor says "No"? What if the doctor says they want to wait awhile and try something else, before letting you start taking Artemisinin? It will cost you about $120 each month to get Artemisinin. How much have you spent, altogether, already (before you got to this website) on treatment for you or loved one? Is their health better/improving?
The decision to use Artemisin could be your life-saving decision. Please consider it carefully--even if it means striking out on your own--without Dr. consent.
To Order Artemisinin on-line, or to simply get more information about it, contact:

Wellcare Pharmaceutical Company
Kandi

Thanks to Sammy, we learned about Artemisinin and its ability to destroy cancer cells. If you, or someone you know and love is suffering from cancer--study the benefits of Artemisinin. THEN get on the phone, talk to Kandi and order some Artemisinin from Wellcare Pharmaceutical. While it is true that you may find another company that sells Artemisinin cheaper, can you trust the potency level? Was the potency level tested by a lab that was not owned by the pharmaceutical company that is selling it? Read the articles about/by Drs. Lai & Singh and realize the importance of getting 100% pure and potent Artemisinin. We endorse the use of Artemisinin and recommend that you buy it from Wellcare Pharmaceutical.
I told Kandi that you would be calling, be sure to let her know that you heard about Artemisinin on the "Keep Blair Alive" website.
