SIDA Acuta Extract (2oz/57g) 20:1 Concentrated Extract Powder

I was thrilled to see this SIDA product avail. I've also bought SIDA seeds in every variety I can find. (Amazon sells 1 variety) Super easy to grow & very adaptable, climate-wise. But, processing them myself is very time consuming. I still do it seasonly but having an additional product ready to use is VERY HELPFUL.Native Americans generally believe that the Creator built the Earth to be our pharmacy, So the common man (and animal) could treat THEMSELVES with ease as he traveled along his way. Gathering & sharing the knowledge as we go is crucial. We are all surrounded by many truths, I hope you find some here to take with you along your way. It is with this hope that I write the following.I became aware of the strong ANTI-BACTERIAL properties & studies of SIDA PLANTS after reading:—A User's Guide to SIDA ACUTA, SIDA CORDIFOLIA, & SIDA RHOMBIFOLIA : How to Grow, Harvest, & Make Medicinals from the WORLD'S BEST HERBAL ANTIBIOTIC - by Bruneau, William. (I highly recco this very brief guide). &—Herbal Antibiotics, 2nd Ed: Natural Alternatives for Treating Drug-resistant Bacteria – by Stephen Harrod Buhner (avail on amazon. (I also highly recco...)~~~~~~Both books list the studies & how to process the plants & give dosage info as well~~~~~~Between Sida & GSE (info below) our family & medicinal team are covered for ANTIBIOTICS! There are many other natural ones but these are the fastest working & strongest I’ve used.I DO NOT HAVE A MEDICAL DEGREE & never claim to have. But, I am a trained herbalist & a 3rd generation Comanche-Choctaw Medicine Woman & have been treating my people as well as homeless people in several states & a handful of countries for over 30 years. Many of whom can't afford mainstream medicine & often don't trust it. I was raised by a mother who was literally an Arkansas Hillbilly-Herbalist of Choctaw descent. My father is Comanche from Oklahoma. I grew up in some of the poorest regions of the midwest, as my family moved to several states following work. Medicinals of the Earth were plentiful, freely available & trusted. We might have been poor but we were rarely sick.SIDA PLANTS:Luckily Sida is a weed & therefore abundant & GSE is AFFORDABLE, which makes it possible for me to give them away, along with the literature to back them up. And so can you! You can afford these for your family. Resistance to prescribed antibiotics is growing across our country. Resistance builds over a lifetime of childhood illnesses & beyond. Listen to your doctor, of course. But, if you can take natural options now and again, then you are at least CUTTING DOWN your chances of becoming resistant.For Sida, see-Bruneau's little guide (47pg) or his BIG 600pg book that is FULL of the Sida Studies, against SEVERE diseases. (it's a tough read for us mere mortals but WELL WORTH the back up. The big bk & all the SIDA seed varieties are avail at his site.)(The studies I lean on are done at several well trusted universities & medical Institutes globally & published by legitimate medical journals-Only these do I publicly mention. Many more are avail.)~~~~GSE (grapefruit seed extract) --Bottle of drops avail here on amazon also.I urge you to read the scientific studies on GSE, there are MANY in several countries & all prove it works as well or better than prescribed antibiotics.Here are some of those quotes:---‘According to The Journal of Orthomolecular Medicine, an international research team examined the effect of GSE on 770 strains of bacteria & 93 strains of fungus and compared this with 30 effective antibiotics and 18 proven fungicides. GSE was found to PERFORMED AS WELL AS ANY & ALL of the tested agents.’—’GSE has been proven in laboratory tests to he 10 to 100 times more effective as a disinfectant than chlorine (bleach), colloidal silver, and iodine.’ (10-100 variation is due to several different tests performed & not a range on each one…& yet it is safe to DRINK! Tastes like the devil, but safe)—‘GSE is compatible with most antibiotics without the side effects & doesn’t kill good bacterial like prescription does.’—’Aspirin is 25 times more toxic than GSE.’---‘Some physicians have found that GSE is AS EFFECTIVE against candida, a yeast infection, as Nystatin or other antifungal preparations. It is also effective against protozoans such as giardia or entamoeba histolytica. Researcher Dr. Leo Galland says that it is MORE EFFECTIVE than prescription medicines such as metronidazole against these protozoal parasites. There is considerahle research to support the claims of GSE's efficacy as a natural antibiotic, anti-fungal, anti-protozoan, anti-viral and antiseptic disinfectant. As a germicide, GSE has multiple uses and it is non-toxic and non-irritating when diluted as directed.’Avoid food poisoning & contaminated water by adding it to the water or filling a capsule & taking it if you feel something you just ate might have been off! Works every time! Use it for sterilizing medical aids, dishes, nursery, produce, kitchen & SO MUCH MORE by adding GSE drops to a squirt bottle.Anytime anyone starts to sniffle, we dose with GSE & head it off. It's great for every part of the body inside and out. It has replaced nearly all our meds on hand at home from eyes to teeth to cuts & scraps, to internal infections, illnesses, viruses, funguses & more, much more. Search online for uses and dosage amounts. More are being added all the time. Print them off & start your own go-to book. There are so many things it will replace that you will need to keep track.But for more SEVERE or PERSISTENT ILLNESSES, we use SIDA herbal medicines. (Less info avail online randomly. Consult the books mentioned to go directly to the studies mentioned in them.)~~~Please do your research, as these 2 products have topped my 30yrs of research on Natural Antibiotics. Most people I speak too have never even heard of either of these options. GREAT for:—People who live or work in remote or poverty-stricken areas. Congested, air-polluted cities. Toxic Environments.—For families, frequent campers as well as hard core preppers, off-gridders, survivalist, soldiers….I sincerely hope you found some truths here that you can use as you travel on, my friend. The Human Family contains the greatest archive & largest library on earth. Please share these and your own truths with as many as you can along your way. Especially passing them to your young ones. Travel well.

Hot or cold, diluted or concentrated - this is a very flavorful powder that makes a quick and tasty tea. I was pretty surprised it didn't taste like dirt, or even more bitter dirt!

Very impressed with this concentrated Sida Acuta powder. Hard to find it in such a concentrated form of any kind. I am encapsulating it myself and it is much cheaper and you get 10X the bang for the buck than buying it in lower dilution in tincture form but did try mixing some of it in yogurt. Taste is very strong but would not expect anything else in a concentrate. Use it for fatigue and just general health for it's antibacterial properties. Will definitely buy it again from this supplier.

would give it five stars but the product cost too much for how small the amount they give you!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I like the powder much better than the liquid extract for palatability. Has a mild coffee or black currant flavor. Mixes easily in water. I take it in conjunction with atovaquone for Babesia. The only down side is,if you take it as prescribed will go through a 2 oz bag in one week so gets pricey. The liquid kept the chest pain and shortness of breath away and hasn't returned when switched to this powder. Recommend.

Great for my capsule making

Sida Acuta contains ephedrine which is a Central Nervous system stimulant. I didn’t know this before taking this herb. I’m very sensitive to stimulants, so I took 1 scoop of this middle of the day and I had the worst insomnia and feeling wired all night, even taking huge doses of Valerian (which I usually do to help fall asleep), didn’t help. It’s almost morning as I’m writing this review and I hate being wired all night. I won’t be taking any of this anymore.

Just got mine in and started with 1/2 scoop. I was really looking for something that would be helpful with lyme, coinfections, and herxheimer reaction. I like the fact Sida Acuta is a source of cryptolepine that seems to be more helpful with herx reaction than Cryptolepis sanguinolenta. Some studies show that Sida Acuta raises glutathione. Intestingly, I can't find any tests where Sida Acuta vs Cryptolepis. This particular extract mixes well with water and doesn't taste nearly as bad as other herbal extracts I've tried. I'll update after more use.
