Hi there,

It could be lyme, but not necessarily. I have also heard of a biologic dentist who puts his cavitation patients (jawbone infections) on cat'c claw before he will do any work on them. He wants them to be much improved before the surgery to clean them out. And like you said, candida is another possibility....although if that were so with me, garlic would have done enough! Including my diet, so for me there is far more to it.

I am interested in trying this stuff too for similar reasons. I do not respond to the vitamin C and salt regime for "lyme" and don't believe that's the bacteria I am suffering from, since mine was caused after using infected eye cosmetic, which caused infection in the eyes, which then spread and became systemic. Which so far, has remained permanent and been the nastiest virus/bacteria I have suffered from.

So I too am wondering if cat's claw might be an aid in that and/or the "possibibiity" of being affected by cavitations - which also contains potent bacteria.

It's worth a try I guess. I'm just a bit concerned, as it's strong stuff and can apparently cause very bad reactions if a person is allergic to it. So I'm wary in a way, but I'ld like to experience the improvement that you are!
