Hi I just got my Sida Acuta from woodlawn today and im pretty excited and hoping this stuff helps, I see on Buhner's website under protocols to use ¼-1/2 tsp 3x daily. Im hoping this works for BABESIA and BARTONELLA. He has on his website to use this for both. MY QUESTION is how do you take this stuff? Just squirt it into a 1/4 or 1/2 teaspoon and sip it down or put it in a glass of water/tea? What do people normally do to take this ?



Im also on doxy 100mg twice a day, tindazole 500mg 4 days out of the week, 3 off, and im waiting to start zirthomax next week Monday, Wednesday and Friday only 1 500mg pill so i hope these dont interfere with the Side Acuta

We purchase tinctures from WoodLand Essence. I assume that's the company you are referring to.

Buhner's protocols are good, but his dosage recommendations are MAXIMUMS. Do not start at the recommended dosages. Please start with only 1-2 drops, which can be dropped onto a spoon or put into a drink of your choice - he does recommend pomegranate juice.

I usually prepare (infuse) my powdered herbs in the morning, divide the tea into 3 (because we dose 3x daily) and then drop the tinctures in before we drink each individual dose of tea. At the moment our tea consists of powdered Japanese knotweed, powdered houttuynia and powdered cordyceps mushroom.

There is a reason why Buhner's protocols consist of more than 1 single herb. Please don't expect too much from sida. It is considered to be antimicrobial, but for bart/babs I feel the other antimicrobials need to be used as well (houttuynia, cryptolepis, alchornea, or the CSA combination).

We actually didn't herx too much from sida; houttuynia caused more of a die-off of bart, and CSA caused more of a die-off of babesia. Buhner does think sida is 1 integral part of the protocol though.

Yup-I used this. I would just squirt it into a small glass of water. Not the best tasting stuff but not bad.
I actually believe I did herx to sida. It was one of the first herbs that I used also so that might be why.

rowingmom "houttuynia caused more of a die-off of bart, and CSA" Did you get these products from woodlawn as well and take both of these with sida acuta at the same time?

Sorry, my computer was on the fritz yesterday afternoon. We get the combo tincture CSA from WoodLand Essence. I believe they sometimes carry houttuynia tincture as well.

The houttuynia I buy in powdered form from 1stChineseHerbs and drink as an infusion (tea), with the herb left in the water after brewing.

I take sida and Crypto. I would get a little more anxiety each time I went up by a drop with Sida. The herx is tolerable. Right now I hit a lot of anxiety 3rd week into Babesia treatment with abx. Very unpleasant! Don't worry about starting the herbs. Just start slow. I start with 1 drop and go up a drop after 3 days.
