systemic neuromuscular fasciculation, paresthesia, low back pain, found a tic on me and pulled it off, dr. said "maybe light lyme?" b/c test was inconclusive. doc gave me doxycycline for 3 weeks. but it all came back, so now i just say screw the dr. and decided to save myself. THIS WORKS.

Be very careful using this herb. It made me very sick. Major stomach and gastro side effects.

I have been taking cat's claw extract for 30 years. In the early 90s I experience 3 years of bronchitis constantly on antibiotics and prednisone. After discovering cats claw extract it only took a week for the bronchitis to go away. Aside from asthmatic problems that I've had, which is now gone, I've not had any respiratory infections in all these 30 years. It truly is an amazing supplement and after 30 years I can say it's a very safe supplement with no side effects.

I was recommended cats claw by Holland & Barrett. I suffer with severe sciatica and I struggle to take inflammatory pain relief. Within a few days of taking 3 capsules a day, my pain has almost gone. 1 month on and I am still pain free.

Great pain killer, usefull for back pain, especially for those with uclers and gut issues that shouldn't use NSAIDs. Good for lowering swallowing and puss in wounds. It makes you chilled, sleepy and lowers libido.

I take this, Japanese Knotweed and Ashwagandha and it keeps my chronic lyme in check. This stuff also lets me eat carbs without having an inflammatory reaction. God send. Boosted my immune system and thinned my blood a little bit also. Really good stuff. No kidney/liver issues for me with it.

Samento was recomennded as a post anti-biotic treatment for my Chronic LYME disease. It is supposed to continue destruction of inter-cellular Lyme spirochetes begun by the anti-biotic treatment. In my personal experience it improved and extended the effects of the anti-biotics and also improved my general resistance to colds and infection. In my opinion my general level of immunity and resistance went up.

25 years ago I had a small bowel neuropathy. Iwas boiling in acid, couldn't eat, lost 3 stone and was not far off the end.I took cats claw for 3 months and immediately I could eat a bit and it started me off to recovery that took 5 years. For 20 years I was well but shingles brought it back a month ago. I'm sending off for it. Also we have coronavirus looming and it may help fighting it off.

Have a very bad hip, diagnosed with degenerative hip disease (arthritis) and they wanted to do a hip replacement. Took this and within 3 days pain almost went away. Could only walk a few hundred yards before the pain and inflammation would make me stop, now I can walk a mile. Actually started working out again. I take 2 500mg pills 2-3 times a day. Can't say it will work for everyone but it's worth a try.

I have been taking the recommended dose of cat's claw for about 2 months for arthritis pain and inflammation. In the last couple of weeks I have had a severe flare up of my psoriasis. Just learned on this web site that cat's claw stimulates the immune system, so not having any noticeable improvement n my arthritis, I hope going off this herb will allow my psoriasis to calm down/. Warning to anyone with psoriasis or other immune disorders, do not use this herb.

Started taking Shitake mushroom Extract beginning of 2015 when first diagnosed with HPV, researched supplements for viral infections and self-prescribed Cat's Claw, Grape Seed Extract, Immune Builder, and a couple of other supplementals to combat. 1st biopsy (November 2015) - Diagnosed with cervical cancer. 2nd biopsy came back clean (February 2016). Dr’s were amazed and I continue taking Cat's Claw, Grape Seed Extract and added Allibiotic 1 year ago and haven't had the flu, head and chest cold, or any other sickness. Plan to continue to prevent illnesses; never get sick while traveling. Read More Read Less

After about 24 hours my symptoms at least tripled. I'd say cat's claw definitely boost the immune system which is exactly what is attacking the joints with RA.

I have stage 4 colon cancer. I have been taking cats claw extract for around 3 weeks, 3 times a day in water. I have had to take narcotics for my nagging pain. For the last 2 days I have not taken a single pill for pain and on my third day after two years of being on this medication I am not having withdrawal or pain. I hope this works. I just ordered my second bottle from World Botanicals and will keep this up as long as I see improvement. I may add pau d'arco tea.

I have Fibromyalgia, and spent years limited by my pain. I have been taking cats claw almost every day for a couple of years and it has been a game changer for me. I drink it as a tea and would suggest it to anyone in pain.
