Cat's Claw

AmyJM

Is anyone familiar with the herb, cat's claw? Someone mentioned it to me the other day (knew someone with another kind of cancer that felt it had been helpful), and I wondered if anyone here has taken it or knows anything about it and whether it's supposed to be helpful for BC.

Thanks!

I have been checking this myself. I had late-stage Lyme disease about 8 years ago, and this was the only thing that really helped me-- the liquid kind, not pill form. Not sure if it matters. From what I can tell, I believe it assists the immune system. It may help increase white counts, it may do it other ways. Check with doc first of course and read info online about contraindications.

Have just read about the possibility of cat's claw helping the immune system against cancer:
