Dear Jhonny Samera
Jatropha leaves effects has contradictive evidence. It can develop the fetus in pregnant women but it also induces an abortion and may lead to death.
Better is that you should avoid its use and clarify us about what kind of Disease you want to cure.

Please, let the disease take its course. DO not try to interfere it.
Your babies would be okay in time. It is a bad idea to try interrupt, when your child is already affected and so many days have already passed. By 6th or 7th May, he/she would be okay. Do not worry. Or, talk to your family doctor about it.

Chinwe.
Jatropha herb is not a sure source for treating HIV. You can try the following:
1. Have Nigella Sativa ( Black Seeds ). Take 2 teaspoons of Black seeds and make a concoction. Take it twice daily for 6 months. 2. Add Drumsticks to your diet. It will help you get relief from symptoms of HIV. Have it two times in a day.
3. Take lots of Vitamin C, which will increase your body's immunity against antibodies.
4. Take Echinacea capsule, daily for 15 days. It will also improve your immunity. All the best. Hope you get well soon!

Yes. Add 2 tsp of stem exudates of jatropha c. with equal measures of jaggery ( soaked extract of okro boiled with sugarcane extract. Watch how jaggery is made on YouTube) and natural honey and mix. Drink at least, 2 times daily for 9-12 days and bid farewell or bid good riddance to bad hepatitis B. It also cures E.coli.
Congratulations.

Can this plant (jatropha) be used to cure HIV and if yes,how? Where can it be found in Kenya?
 
Herbpathy
22 Jan 2020
Dear Geofrey The leaves of Jatropha have Anti-HIV properties. Leaf extract can be taken to treat HIV.
You may take the following herbs as wEll for HIV: 1. Echinacea and Goldenseal combination capsules. Take 1 capsule daily for 1 month.
2. Nigella Sativa: Take 2 tablespoon of Black seed concoction twice daily for 6 months.
3. Have ripe Elder fruit. The raw form of fruit is toxic.
Herbpathy is not into buying/selling of herbs. So, you have to find hem on your own. Visit an Ayurvedic shop or check the herbs online.

What are the side effects if roast Jatropha seeds and drink them for cleaning the bowels or diarrehea?
 
Arjita
20 Feb 2020
The seeds are often roasted and taken after meals. It reduces toxicity. The toxicity of seeds is known to be reduced by roasting. However, it is to roasted properly dear. And I suggest you to follow a good technique for roasting. It is quite toxic and don't give it to your children. Any side effect measured, just rush to your doctor.
 
Elsa
30 Sep 2020
Jatropha seeds are toxic and roasting will not reduce toxicity!! Only Mexican cultivars can be non-toxic sometimes, but the true origin needs to be confirmed and preserved accurately. Never give seeds in any from to children, they are very susceptible to jatropha poisoning. Adults should only consume maximum 3 seeds a day if they want to cure health issues.

Hello. I have been on HIV drugs for 3years but I decided to stop the drug last month in order to seek permanent cure. I have been taking red Jatropha juice since but it's purging me. Can you help with other effective herb to use to get the permanent cure, I was at undetected level before I stopped. I don't want the virus to replicate again and for how long can I take the herb since the virus is already at undetected level?

mullaca also should be effective but also its a amazon herb now after all those there is safe to drink essential oils like cinnamon ceylon but bio and for internal use with many good reviews this contain many powerfull antioxidants that are antivirals and eugenol and cinnameldahyde that are very effective vs many viruses, also even good quality oregano essential oil capsules (greek prefered)
but all those must be taken WITH PREBIOTICS coz they mascare good and bad bacteria (this also help haveing more good bacteria that create T cells)
