China had been, until recently, for decades, the most populated country in the world. Still Chinese people don't have a problem called malaria. Why ?
Because they use a plant to prevent and heal it. I can't recall the name of this plant but I remember I saw a documentary stating that China tried multiple times to export that plant to the world but Bill Gates, who is interested in the subject and wanted to develop a vaccine for malaria, for a long time convinced the world health organization to not allow that on the name that the plant has health risks, inefficient and is dangerous to the environment.

Unless I'm reading the original study [1] wrong, I'm surprised the study only used a population size of 28.
They did do a 12 month check-in which is good, but why such a small group of study participants, especially when malaria is so widespread?

Approved for use means approved for testing on populations.

I heard this story on the radio last week, and the Italian physician working in Africa for a very long time said that the treatments have been provided for babies older than 6 months successfully. The new and important step (with Novartis) is to now safely treat babies younger than 6 months with the appropriate dosing. I wish I could find the link to the radio story.
