Travel Insurance I & II 60c: Travel without the threat of mosquito, parasite, and bacterial infections

· In: Gut

Travel Insurance Bundle

Since the release of my travel supplements in 2017, the dynamic duo has been all over the world and saved people from traveler’s sickness (Montezuma’s Revenge, Dysentery, Bali Belly) in the countries of Bali, Indonesia, India, the Amazon, Thailand, Vietnam, South Africa, and Mexico.

The Pandemic of 2020 has caused research to further evolve in order to find different treatment approaches for COVID-19.

In 2021 newer studies found the herb Artemisia annua (Sweet Wormwood) to be effective in treating COVID-19.  Earlier studies from 2005 had found this herb to be effective in treating other strains of coronavirus.

Thus, ‘Travel Insurance‘ was born!

Why the Travel Insurance Bundle Works

Every herb that is in “Travel Insurance I & II” has loads of scientific studies backing their efficacy in maintaining a healthy gut microbiome to prevent severe infection if exposed. The key is fortifying the immune system response BEFORE you come in contact with a pathogen.

Travel Insurance I & II 60c Ingredients:

Pumpkin Seed – Cucurbita Pepo Seed

Parasites & Worms

  • Pumpkin Seeds have properties that have been shown in studies to inhibit drug-resistant parasites and roundworms in both humans and livestock.

European Barberry Root – Berberis Vulgaris & East Asian Barberry Root – Berberis Lycium 

European Barberry Root - Berberis Vulgaris & East Asian Barberry Root - Berberis Lycium an ingredient in Healthy Melissa's Travel insurance Bundle- A herbal supplement to help prevent mosquitoes and other parasite infection while traveling.

An Anti-plasmodial drug is an anti-parasitic drug that is effective against Apicomplexan parasites in the genus Plasmodium. The genus contains over 200 species and includes those responsible for malaria.

Malaria

  • Studies on Barberry Root provide evidence for the medicinal use of this plant as a malaria remedy.

Sandflies Parasite

  • In regards to Cutaneous Leishmaniasis, skin lesions that come from the bite of a parasite known as “sandflies”- Barberry Root showed that the root bark extract has good suppression effects on parasites. Therefore, it might be a pro for developing new antileishmanial drugs.

Coccidiosis Parasite

  • Anticoccidial activity – Coccidiosis is a parasitic disease of the intestinal tract of animals caused by coccidian protozoa. The disease spreads from one animal to another by contact with infected feces or ingestion of infected tissue. Diarrhea, which may become bloody in severe cases, is the primary symptom.
  • The most common coccidia found in dogs does not have any effect on humans. However, less common types of coccidia are potentially infectious to humans. One parasite, called Cryptosporidium, may be carried by dogs or cats and may be transmitted to people.
  • There is increasing resistance of these parasites to currently used anti-coccidial drugs, so Barberry Root extract can be an alternative.

Wormwood – Artemisia Annua

Wormwood an ingredient in Healthy Melissa's Travel insurance Bundle- A herbal supplement to help prevent mosquitoes and other parasite infection while traveling.

Malaria

  • Considering that for > 2000 years this plant was used in traditional Chinese medicine for the treatment of fever with no apparent appearance of artemisinin drug resistance, the evidence argues for the inclusion of wormwood into the arsenal of drugs to combat malaria and other artemisinin-susceptible diseases. All malarial drugs are derived from this herb.

Dengue & Malaria

Malaria and Dengue are the two most important mosquito-borne human diseases caused by the mosquitos Anopheles stephensi and Aedes aegypti.

Of the various strategies adopted for eliminating these diseases, controlling Mosquitoes through herbs has been reckoned as one of the important measures for preventing their resurgence.

Scientific research into the anti-malarial activity of wormwood began in the early 1970s in response to the increasing resistance to established anti-malarial drugs of the protozoan parasites that cause malaria ( Plasmodium species).

  • The chemical artemisinin, which occurs naturally in the leaves of wormwood, is a potent anti-malarial agent and can kill the most deadly malarial parasite
  • Wormwood strongly proved to be an effective insecticide that specifically targeted both species of mosquito that carry Dengue and Malaria in the larval life stage.
  • Even using the essential oils of wormwood are eco-friendly, safer potent sources of natural larvicide against the mosquitos carrying Dengue.

Toxoplasmosis gondii, giardia, babesia:

Parasites that may cause schizophrenia, has mind altering capabilities, severe abdominal cramping and bloody stools.

  • Meta analysis of both invitro (cell studies) and invivo (human/animal) studies found artemisia annua had good anti-parasitic effects on non-malarial parasites and worked well for these protozoan parasites.

Blastocystis Hominis:

A very common parasite that can cause loose stools, abdominal cramping, triggers autoimmune antibodies against thyroid peroxidase enzyme (Hashimoto’s). Sweet wormwood, blackwalnut hull and berberine rich herbs like Oregon grape can kick this parasite out.

COVID-19:

Research has found Artemisia Annua halts COVID-19 viral replication and can treat the infection.

Arteimsia contains high levels of zinc which assists in stopping viral replication.
