MALARIA IS OXIDANT SENSITIVE
Dr. Hesselink, scientific researcher spent hundreds of hours searching biochemical literature and medical literature pertaining to the biochemistry of Plasmodia. Four species are commonly pathogenic in humans namely: Plasmodium vivax, Plasmodium falciparum, Plasmodium ovale and Plasmodium malariae. What he found was an abundance of confirmation that, just like bacteria, Plasmodia are indeed quite sensitive to oxidants. [25a-25m]. Examples of oxidants toxic to Plasmodia include: artemisinin, artemether [26a-26m], t-butyl hydroperoxide [27a], xanthone [28a], various quinones [29a-29m] (e.g. atovaquone, lapachol, beta-lapachone, menadione)
and methylene blue [30a-30i].
