Hi,
The Cat's claw should be TOA FREE!!!
Many use the brand Samento. I recently purchased Saventaro by Better World sold at Sprouts Market in their vitamin supplement section.
Type TOA free cat's claw in a google search for more information.
Hope that helps.

Went to one thread and found out that others have experience with not walking normally. Glad to hear I am not the only circus freak in town!

It has to be T.O.A. Cat's Claw, and not just regular Cat's Claw.

Sorry Gena, that is wrong.

THe WHOLE HERB cat's claw is much better that the TOA free Cat's Claw.

Read Buhner's book Healing Lyme.

I tried it initially, and couldn't tolerate more than three drops a day. I felt overall pretty horrible on it.

I'd still use it despite the herx because it comes up on so many lists as the herb of choice...

but every time I or my practitioner muscle tests for it we come up with a negative.

I do better on Berberis, Artemisia, Teasel Root, and fresh garlic.

BeJoy, go with WHAT works best for YOU! IT is NOT the herb of choice for many people.

You will most likely not herx near as bad on the WHOLE herb Cat's Claw.

Also, IF you herx, make sure you are taking Sarsaparilla, Red Root tincture, and Milk Thistle. I do, and almost never herx.

JimBob, how much of the Devil's Claw do you take a day (in milligrams)?

Also, do you still think it helps with your joint pain, as well as the other things you mentioned?

(I'm giving Devil's Claw to my dog in homeopathic form bsed on advice from an animal homeopath, and it has really helped his arthritis.)

Hi Tracy:

Yes, I think it is good for the arthritis also, and inflammation. As a matter of fact THAT is what Buhner recommends it for. And WHY I started taking it. But discovered how great my vision got with just ONE pill back in 2005. It produced a lot of gas and for me with my ileostomy and I had a terrible night that first night with it, and I was going to quit it as soon as I started it.

But the next day, my vision got so good, I could hardly believe what I was seeing. It was fantastic. So I didn't quit, and the rest is pretty much history.

I did stop it a couple times later, once because I ran out, and my vision got worse. Then another time I stopped just to make sure that it WAS the Devil's Claw that was making my vision so much better. And it was.

Right now I am on a maintenance regimen of herbs. The only ones I didn't cut down much were the Devil's Claw and Sarsaparilla.

I take THREE "00" size capsules of the Devil's Claw, TWO times a day. And the same for Sarsaparilla.

I only take my herbs twice a day now. Have been for a few months.

I am not sure of exactly HOW many milligrams each capsule is, as I haven't weighed them, but I am guessing around 600mg for each capsule; give or take 25mg.

And we are talking 6 capsules a day, so around 2250 to 2550 mg's a day.

Hope that helps,
Jim
