HI Sharon, thanks. That's what makes me feel like giving it a go, but if I do, I'll take your advice and go slowly! This is not just for my suspecting lyme, but other infections like cavitation and viral, and it seems that cat's claw is good for those too.

Have you heard of the salt and vitamin C method for lyme? Apparently this is very popular and some feel it's better than cat's claw.... I don't know though, it seems that's this method is just for that particular problem alone. I've tried some salt and C and didn't notice anything, yet apparently the herx can start almost immediately after taking it. perhaps I didn't take enough but frankly you need the best in salt (celtic sea salt, real salt) and I dont know if I could afford to go through so much of this salt and C to get a response....
