My research to develop a cure for Malaria began over 8 years ago when my wife, Bonita, and I conducted medical missions in Port-du-Prince, Haiti. At a Christian orphanage directed by Roberta Audate, we observed malaria for the first time. Having seen the advantages of using low dose chemotherapy drugs in treating cancer, where the immune system remains intact and active against the cancer, I decided to help Roberta with the children in her care by giving them low dose PeroxyBioFlavonoids. We used an extended time of 16 days in the hope of immunizing the patients against the malaria by transitioning through the IgM/IgG maturation and stimulating whatever innate immunity that may also play a role. With Haitian governmental approval for a time, we were able to follow the effects of my treatment over the years in over 500 people. Though not using the normal protocol for a scientific study, this group included a close knit community of 15 churches. Furthermore, Children were selected and followed from a daily feeding program conducted by Roberta with over 165 children, including Roberta’s 20+ children who lived at her house. We saw no failures.

200 BC China SweetWormwood
1997 Chinese isolated the Artemisinin
They did not reveal it until recent years
Current Drugs – chloroquine, atovaquone-proguanil (Malarone®)
artemether-lumefantrine (Coartem®), mefloquine (Lariam®), quinine, quinidine
doxycycline (used in combination with quinine)
clindamycin (used in combination with quinine)
Artemether-lumefantrine (Coartem®) FDA
not approved for patients with severe or complicated P. falciparum malaria.
not approved for the prevention of malaria
Artemisinin is safe with minimum side effects as stated by FDA
However, Artemisinin alone is not enough
8. PeroxyBioFlavonoid™Peroxide Bridge
How it Kills the Parasites
Malaria parasite breaks down Hemaglobulin
and releases iron. The peroxide causes a free
radical chain of events initiated by the Fe and
also within the mitochondria that destroy the
parasite. The BioFlavonoid inhibits three
enzymes in the intestines that can breakdown
Artemisinin and provides antioxidant activity to
immune cells
Protection from Malaria Recurrence (Theory)
■ Rapid release of malaria proteins as antigen source
■ So-called “Super Antigens” with apoptotic parasites and
adjuvant effects
■ Natural KillerCell Function
■ Most Effective Antibodies, IgG1 and IgG3
■ Minimize Pro-inflammatory Cytokines (IFN,TNF, IL1) to avoid
severe pathology
■ Boost the Immunity with supplements taken during the trials
9. PeroxyBioFlavonoid™ Capsules
Simple, Oral Dose (one 50mg tablet for children with two
tablets for each of 16 days)
Fast symptom relief (2-3 days)
Dramatic Clearance (95% parasite clearance within 2-3
Days)
No Recurrences (Haiti none in over 600 cases; or 92 cases
in Nigeria to date)
Inexpensive

19. Progress Reports from Nigeria 4-5-15
Dear Prof. Compliment of the Easter season to you and family. You are
welcome back from Haiti.
I am glad to inform you that we started the study last month and also
to tell you that the antimalarial formulation is performing amazingly
well on the malaria patients so far recruited. The patients appear to
recover fast from pyrexia and even get well fast. As far as the study
is concerned, the recruitment process is slow owing to some reasons
from our strict exclusion criteria:
- Most patients are already on one form of antimalarial drug/treatment
before coming
to the health facilities we are using hence excluded (most
drugs are not efficient or
malaria parasites are resistant to them).
- Some patients complain about the long duration of treatment hence
not ready to give
consent.
- Some patients have low parasitemia load hence not recruitable since
we want those
with severe form of malaria for the study.
- Also, the raining season when cases of malaria infection is very
high is just starting
(ie moving from dry season to raining) in the tropical countries.
- Some health facilities are on industrial action due to unpaid salaries.
However, we are trying to connect another big health facility with our
approval to commence the study to increase chances of fast recruitment
this week after Easter break.
So far we have recruited only 7 patients which we hope to improve
tremendously from next week. This slow pace has caused delay or
prolonged duration of the study than proposed.
I belief we are getting good results and much more when you carry out
immunological assays hopefully. I’m sure this is going to be a major
breakthrough in antimalarial treatment to save millions of patients in
Africa and other malaria endemic countries.
Thank you, Olufemi
20. Progress Reports from Nigeria 4-24-15
Dear Prof. No doubt, the antimalarial treatment is working and I want to belief that the serum
immunologic testings will support our claim and provide reason for no further occurrence of malaria
infection in patients. Please keep working on possibility of reducing the treatment duration of 16 days
possibly before it hits the African huge market soon.
We hope recruitment will keep improving as we start moving into raining season.
Thanks.
OLUFEMI.
Progress Reports from Nigeria 5-1-15 & 5-9-15 & 5-24-15
5-1-15
Dear Prof.
I'm glad to inform you that as at today we have recruited 35 patients with 3 lost to follow-up. The patients are doing well.
Warm regards. Olufemi.
5-9-15
Till date we have recruited 76 patients into the study in Nigeria with
4 individuals lost to follow up. Also, we recorded 3 cases of relapse
after day 30 when the patients reported for blood collection with high
fever and tested positive for malaria parasites. We are feeling the
relapse could be due to possible under dose of the formulation which
could also be due to the infants not taking the complete formulation
in the capsule.
I am also planning packaging and courier dispatch of the first batch
of sera obtained so far to your laboratory.
Kindly respond to the relapse cases and any update on the formulation.
Our plan is to continue recruitment to about 90 -100 to cater for
those that could be lost to follow up till day 60.
Our fund/cash is running low kindly start the process of crediting us.
Thank you. Olufemi.
5-24-15
Please may I know what the inventory list should contain?
Alright. I'll work on sending the Sera available so far.
Further
updates to follow soon.

STUDY PROGRESS REPORTS
First one on Easter Sunday with an Easter salutation from my Nigerian Christian
Medical Scientists:
Dear Prof.The antimalarial study is progressing. I'm happy to inform you that the
formulation is working fantastically well on Nigerian patients. No disappointment
so far. Despite the adverse conditions highlighted in the last progress report, we
have recruited 15 patients with our strict inclusion /exclusion criteria. Blood had
been drawn to day 30 in the initial patients awaiting day 60 & final collection.
10 days later:
Dear Prof. No doubt, the antimalarial treatment is working and I want to belief
that the serum immunologic testings will support our claim and provide reason for
no further occurrence of malaria infection in patients. Please keep working on
possibility of reducing the treatment duration of 16 days possibly before it hits the
African huge market soon.
We hope recruitment will keep improving as we start moving into raining season.
Thanks.
OLUFEMI.
