Using a little bit of estrogen topically wouldn't count as hormone therapy, right?

Cat's Claw? Contraindications

HI all, just a short clip from one source that mentions contraindications for cats claw. Dee~

Cat's Claw (Uncaria tomentosa)

''There is little information available on Cat's Claw, however, in the following cases they should be consulted first to be on the safe side, as there is one reference suggesting that Cat's Claw usage may be contraindicated if:

You will be undergoing skin grafts (may cause rejection of foreign cells) You will be undergoing an organ transplant (may cause rejection of foreign cells) You are undergoing hormonal therapy You are taking thymus extracts You are receiving insulin You have a hemophiliac condition and have been prescribed fresh blood You are to receive a vaccine

Cat's Claw is thought to enhance the action of white blood cells, act as an anti-oxidant, and have anti-viral and anti-inflammatory properties.''

Hi .

Not likely.. that's specific and local to the genital tissue that way.

Even tho I use the E & T topically in a cream I definitely have to use both in an oral sublingual (in a high dosage) for my HRT replacement.

I know you've seen those E. testimony's so you know it can work. *smile*.

Good luck with it.
