I asked around to see if liposomal artemisinin has ever been done. Artemisinin is a stellar cancer therapy by itself. Throw in liposomes and you completely overcome the absorption problems, get intreacellular penetration, AND liposomes selectively target tumors.
In response to my questions, I found out that just yesterday a study on liposomal artemisinin was posted: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21158702?dopt=Abstract When injected, conventional liposomal artemisinin lasts 3 times as long as regular artemisinin. Considering that even less regular artemisinin would be in the blood had it been taken orally, this is much more than a 3 fold improvement. Factor in intracellular delivery and targeting of tumors, and you got a stellar cancer treatment. They could only get 70% encapsulation, so it will taste bad however you do it. Artemisinin is fat soluble. I bet this could be done at home. You may need to warm the lecithin to 110 degrees first, then mix with the artemisinin. Then immediately refrig. Dr. Donsbach says you should heat the phospholipids to 110, then apply a shear (ultrasonic mixing), then quickly cool it to do liposomal anything. It would probably be better to use the larger ultrasonic mixer. Dr. K. is doing liposomal artemisinin for lyme just by blending phospholipids. Also, FYI, here is a study on liposomal artesunate. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/12644192 ~David -- The Silver List is a moderated forum for discussing Colloidal Silver.
