Malaria business, the investigation of an anti-malaria plant

“I suffered the side effects of Lariam. It happened to me in June 2015, during my tour in Africa. I was stressed, exhausted, everything predisposed me to freak out, but the accelerator was the Lariam.” These words are those of Stromae. The singer, who says he was close to committing suicide at the time, had taken one of the malaria treatments currently available on the market. A drug that is part of artemisinin-based therapeutic combinations, ACTs. Except that Lariam, unlike other ACTs whose effectiveness is recognized, poses serious problems. In the UK, he is squarely at the center of a trial pitting hundreds of Iraq veterans against the British Ministry of Defence.

Based on the serious doubts hanging over Lariam, which is still authorized for sale in France, the Bernard Crutzen Malaria business survey questions an alternative treatment that uses Artemisia annua in its natural plant form, and not just artemisinin, which is extracted from it.

This plant of Chinese origin, taken in herbal tea, would effectively treat malaria. Problem: the WHO, supported by pharmaceutical groups, advises against the use of artemisia. And the French health authorities prohibit its marketing. Is it a big money problem, a business problem? Knowing that artemisia is much cheaper than ACTs, you would think so. This is the thesis that this documentary convincingly upholds. A film in which the WHO refused to speak.

The testimony of the writer and adventurer Alexandre Poussin, who recounts how, in 2001, in Africa, he treated himself by absorbing several liters of this herbal tea, is striking. “To date, fifteen years later, I have not had a relapse,” he says. With Lucile Cornet-Vernet, he created an association - like there are many others in Europe - to promote the cultivation of artemisia in Africa. With the help of donations, they financed a study in Congo, to WHO standards. It shows that if ACTs are 80% effective, artemisia infusion is 99%. It remains to communicate on these results, and on those of other studies, in particular American. What the major scientific journals still refuse. Until when?
