Wondering if you all can save me a little trouble and tell me which brands you've had luck with? Started Sida the other day and the herxing is horrible. I've cut back the dose and it's lessened but whatever it's hitting causes some really nasty neurological issues I didn't even know I had. Feels like it's pulling pure evil out of my brain so it's kind of intolerable at any level. I had some liver pains from cats claw a month back and thought I might be lagging in detox so I figured I'd give this a go. My local health food store has a decent selection so I don't know if you all have had any luck with popular brands or if I should just hold off and order online. Also, anything else I should know? Do I need to start slow with this one as well? Ie is there a chance of it moving toxins too fast? Buhner says to pair it with an anticoagulant but I've never heard any issues from people on here. Only taking sida and rhodiola currently and working up to bidens, crypto

Try activated charcoal to bind toxins, it always helps me when herxing

Psilo - I buy my herbs online from Woodland Essence - and have bought a few from Sage Woman Herbs.


I would start the Red Root low and raise slowly...


RE: anticoagulant - you might want to consider Hawthorne - it is a great herb for the heart...and entire circulatory system.


If you're wanting to buy from the health food store that should be fine.

I also agree with blueberry muffin about adding in a binder - such as activated charcoal...or another one.

I have bought my herbs from 1st Chinese, Montana, Woodland, and Sage Woman. I ultimate settled on HawaiiPharm and got it through Amazon. But you can buy from them directly, I believe. I just found it super easy to order with Amazon as I really am an Amazon person. I live so far away from stores.

I had trouble with Sida and eventually gave up and did not take it.

Red Root was a breeze for me and it REALLY helped lessen my swollen lymph nodes.

Low and go up Slow!

I thought activated charcoal was limited to the GI tract. I'm having brain issues mainly. What other good binders are out there? I've been real curious on that. Smilax didn't do much. And yeah I normally go with woodland but would kind of like to expedite the process. Didn't know if any of the more commercial brands are decent so I could get started. Will consider Hawthorne too! Do you think it's necessary to have something for that? Or is the coagulant effect of red root overblown?

Also is this the sort of thing to take 3 times a day long term? Or only during acute spells? I know I'm trying to look all this up but what's suggested doesn't always work for lymies.

Sorry to here that Pete. What reaction did you have to sida? Oddly I was taking 3 droppers with no effect last month. Can't get anywhere near that now

You should take the Red Root daily...not only during acute spells.


I like Hawthorn because these infections can wreak havoc on our heart and blood vessels. (I also take CoQ10 for the same reason)

Yeah I might consider that too. Have carditis and a horrible lipid profile for a 23yo lol. First symptom of Lyme was a night in the ER thinking t was a heart attack. Fortunately my carditis has kind of taken a back seat. Need to find that material medica on Hawthorne, forgot which book! Anywho excited for that red root. Just did a lymph massage on my head and realized how massively congested it has become since sida.

Before treating lyme I had to get my heart some help. I took Hawthorn and Motherwort. I did each individually and went low and slow. Then I did Japanese Knotweed and added in this and that along with many supplements.

The day came for sida acuta and I took 1 drop and my heart began racing. I thought it was a fluke. I did 1 drop again about 8 hours later and my heart did it again. It scared me so I never took sida again.

Then about a month later it was time to add in Eleutherococcus. I took one drop of it and my heart felt like there was a butterfly in it. I had heart flutters so bad. I never took it again either.

I healed from Lyme without those.

Moral of the story -- We all find what works for us and it is not necessarily what works for someone else.

Just try, try again! or the little train that could?

I read about one tincure that has more herbs in it, and red root too - has anybody tried it?
Its name is BLT – clinical response formulas.
