Sida Actions and Benefits

Just listing titles does not say much, but they do show you the broad expanse of the Sida actions and benefits, both peer-review and traditional. All this research is documented in the "big book" but I could not in good conscience not include at least hints at what the Sidas can do medicinally on this website, and in The User's Guide.

Some of these categories may seem contradictory but that is how the material largely defined itself. Sidas can have almost contradictory actions at times. Do realize that my categorization may not be yours, so if you do not immediately find what you are looking for, search more broadly through the other categories. I will, at some point, be making an index of the "big book" available on this website.
