Knees not getting better with Cat's Claw

[Guest guest]

Hey does anyone else have worsening knees despite the use of Cat's

Claw?

I have been on the Andro, Sarsp, Knotweed and Cat's for a year a half

now. I feel like I'm getting better in all other ways except my knees.

I have not been taking much Glucosamine until now as I have problems

with heavy metals, and it gave me headaches.

Could it be that Cat's Claw can reduce the bodies natural healing

response by keeping down the inflammation? The only activity I can do

for excersize is biking- running is out. My knees are creaky like

there is no sinovial fluid in there. The cats definitely kills most of

the pain.

Thanks!

When i first increased the doses of cats claw i got excruciating joint pain

especially hands and wrists, i actually stopped taking it for a while. i did

get back on and very slowly worked my way up, and low and behold after a

while the wrist and hand pain got better. As for the knees, they are in a

category of their own. At least mine are. I first had Lyme inflammation in my

synovial membranes and my knees now feel like I have little or no cartilage

left (abnormal MRIs too. So whether cats claw is good or bad? Overall i think

it does help, but it is serious stuff with very strong reactions. I also

have no clue how to fix my knees, besides using a walker if i have to go far

distances (I find that soooo embarrassing). I wish someone had the cure for

knee pain, mine still swell every rainy day too.

A friend of mine combined benicar with samento and her joints got much

better. - Robin
