From my experience I would say the cats claw

Is ok for the auto immune disorder mulls

Has told me Lyme causes many disorders

Years ago before I was Lyme and voinfevtions

Diagnosed I was told i had a deficient immune

System which I learned was caused by Lyme

So a lot of things that are diagnosed are really

The result of Lyme ive beentaking cats claw

On and off for years with no I'll effect I find for

Me what works best is changing therapies I'll do

Herbs for six months then do antibiotics ect

These bugs are smart I believe they become

Immune after awhile to the same treatment

I can't speak for your other issue hope this helps

Anyone have thoughts on that?

Could it be the cats claw and could this be a sign that I should not take it? I

don't have anyone to ask about this right now. I am in between LLMD's and not

sure what my new LLMD thinks about herbs yet.

IMHO catsclaw is an unlikely cause for this. Some of the other herbs have

properties similar to hormones, or they can disturb hormones (probably

andrographis and knotweed, not sure though ... check out which of them Buhner

warns not to use when you want to get pregnant).

Keep in mind that this effect of the herbs could occur only after a longer time,

e.g. after using them for a few months.

I would guess that the Hashimoto is a wrong diagnosis in your case, that it

really is a Lyme sideeffect. Many Lyme patients have auto-immune like symptoms,

but this doesn't mean that they are really auto-immune (although IDSA keeps

talking about it, there is no credible scientific evidence for that theory).

But just to be sure, try to keep an eye on symptoms of the 'Hashimoto' disorder.
