Last I heard Niacin was actually better the NNN and all the other things that that lifeextension Harvard doctor talked about at getting results.
Artemisinin is an extract of the sweet wormwood plant, used in Chinese medicine for centuries as a treatment for viruses, yeast and parasites. It's been used for decades to treat malaria in third world countries. In fact, Artemisinin shared the 2015 Nobel Prize in medicine with Ivermectin (aka Avermectin), for it's effectiveness in fighting malaria and other deadly parasites.
Artemisinin's greatest power might just be in fighting cancer: it has been found to kill approx. 100 cancer cells for every healthy cell in laboratory experiments, 10 times more than the average chemotherapy drug.
How does it work? It's no secret cancer cells, like malaria, contain high amounts of iron. Artemisinin works by binding to iron the the body. One inside the cells, the Artemisinin releases powerful free radicals to kill the cancer. In one study, “it was found that Artemisinin (the derivative), coupled with iron, can kill 98% of breast cancer cells in 16 hours. Alone, the herb caused a 28% reduction in breast cancer cells, but partnered with iron, the duo almost completely eliminated cancer.
In fact, a 2001 study published in Oncology found that by pre-loading cancer cells with iron and then administering artemisinin, the cancer killing effectiveness was almost 100 percent within 24 hours.

2006 Cancer Preventative Study
This study found "Artemisinin killed precancerous cells before those cells could develop into a breast tumor. In that study, rats were fed a substance known to cause breast cancer. Then, half the rats were fed a normal diet and the other half consumed food laced with Artemisinin. After nine months, 96 percent of the rats fed the normal diet developed tumors, compared to only 57 percent of the rats fed Artemisinin, plus their tumors were smaller and fewer.
Which Cancers Respond Best
Artemisinin was examined for its activity against 55 cancer cell lines. It was found to be the most active against leukemia and colon cancer and active against breast cancer, melanomas, prostate cancer, CNS and renal cancer.
