William Bruneau, Publisher

It took retirement for William Bruneau, both writer and publisher of these books to have
enough time to properly research and publish useful books.
The first project was to document and popularize the most
important herbal not known to Western herbal lore: genus Sida.

The second edition of The Bidet is almost complete.
The industry itself named the first edition of my book the bidet bible
for its completeness. This second edition will be much
larger, more comprehensive, better referenced, and much
more damning of the flush toilet and toilet paper ecology and economy.

My next book is already in the research phase.

What Sidas Can Do for You

  • Sidas are consumed by millions of people every day all over the world. People have been healing themselves with Sidas for thousands of years.

  • Nearly everything in this book is from peer-review research, with some expert testimony.

  • Sidas control or kill 27 pathogenic bacteria including gram-negative bacteria, gonorrhea, and many types of Staph including MRSA.

  • Sidas have been tested against cancer only 40 times, ever! Every time Sidas have attacked cancer in different ways: cytotoxic, apoptotic, etc. None of these studies have been followed up.

  • Sidas have shown excellent effect against malaria and other parasites.

  • Sidas can kill or control 16 pathogenic fungi, including 15 strains of candida.

  • Sidas protect your liver, kidney & brain (and more); are blood cleansing; and help to balance your fats/lipids. Sidas are adaptogenic; tonic; analgesic; chemo-protective; etc.

  • This book lists 160 ways that Sida can benefit you.

  • Sidas are profoundly non-toxic. No reported side-effects. Sidas have worked well with pharmaceutical drugs.

  • Sida acuta can be grown in Zone 8 outdoors. If you can grow tomatoes, you can probably grow Sida (as an annual).

  • Most sidas were borne in Central America and have spread throughout tropical America. Sidas are found throughout our South, and several species are listed as native plants in the U.S. Despite this there is no mention of Sida in Western herbals that I can find (except Buhner's excellent Herbal Antibiotics .
  • The "User's Guide" is For Everyone Else

    The "big book" is for physicians and naturopaths. My other book, The User's Guide to Sida... is for everyone else! It is based on the research in the "big book". The User's Guide clearly explains everything you need to know to grow, harvest, process and make effective medicinals from Sidas in any easy, readable style. It also has minimal listings of what pathogens Sidas kill or control, a listing of the Sidas many benefits, and a brief look at how Sida medicines compare to standard pharmaceuticals.

    Grow It With Your Tomatoes

    This book is the first compilation of known peer-review research and traditional medicinal uses of Sida. This is a reference book and is not to be considered medical advice. Second, this is not a light read!

    This is an information-dense manual encompassing everything known about the genus Sida.

    What I personally add is seven-years experience with growing and processing Sida acuta and other Sidas for my own medicinal use.

    Everyone I am sure is aware that we are facing steadily increasing antibiotic resistance from a multitude of pathogens, with few new solutions in sight. Sidas show promise that should be explored. Sidas are non-toxic, benign anti-pathogens that the bugs never figure out. They also augment the potency of many existing pharmaceutical antibiotics, fungicides, etc.

    I have successfully grown Sida acuta as an annual for the past four years, outside in our Northern California coastal mountain climate. It is perennial in that it re-seeds profusely. One of the worlds great weeds in the tropics, It cannot survive our cold wet winters. I can get a good crop (and seed) in 120 days in our mostly just-warm Zone 8.

    Despite our climate I get an incredibly potent medicinal crop from growing it as an annual, outside, unprotected.

    Sidas in the lab, using concentrated extracts, have worked against something like 65 pathogens including: Staph (18 specific strains of Staph, including several multi-drug resistant strains), Candida (including at least 6 resistant strains), some cancers, gonorrhea, typhoid, Aspergillus mold, E. coli, Herpes simplex, Kebsiella (pneumonia and hospital infections), Malaria, Mycobacterium, Salmonella (both food poisoning and typhoid), Shigella (diarrhea and dysentery), Strep (cavities, pneumonia), and internal worms.

    In some instances crude extracts or teas test better than the reference anti-pathogen (antibiotic, anti-fungal, etc.).

    This, of course, is just what has been tested so far, which is not enough.

    There are 160 or so other proven benefits from taking Sida including: adaptogenic; anti-oxidant; analgesic; kidney, liver, heart and brain protective; beneficial for human reproduction; and chemo-protective. It is a mineral accumulator; and it is a host plant for birds, bees, and butterflies, among other things.

    The Sidas are excellent fiber plants.

    If nothing else Sidas make an excellent protein crop. The leaves of Sida acuta have tested at 30% (or better) crude protein.

    Sida is considered a survival food.
