1000Daisies,

I haven't used Cat's Claw yet, but my doctor talked like I would be trying it eventually.

I feel for you...having 3 children who are struggling with this. Plus, you have to keep track of what works well for one child doesn't for another.

I hate the days my symptoms are worse because I am never sure what is causing it. It is so frustrating. I wish were were like cars and could just have a simple diagnostic test done and know exactly what we need and how much.

HUGS!

i had a hard time with both cats claw and later samento...headaches that worsened everyday...assumed it was a herx or not enough detox, but the severity and length of the headaches (entire month i took it), makes me wonder if it was something else...so i havent taken it since

I think a herx is a good thing for your kid. Do you use a particular brand? I have yet to feel cats claw working and I take lots of the stuff along with JK. I almost hope for a mini herx each time I take it. Maybe the quality of herbs is low on mine.

Yes I had a reaction to cats claw(one capsule for two days )I just tried it this week, and I went from 90 % better to numbness in my face, neck, head again, crawling sensations , stiff legs, soreness, and that darn pressure on top of my head. Im taking advice given here the other day and waiting until symptoms get better and then maybe I will try the tincture form since I could build up slowly to it.

I started taking Epsom baths again , it has helped a bit. I also try to think positive and tell my self it will pass hopefully sooner than later.

I also just read on the Hansa center webpage to use Curcumin for helping with herx reactions and to also prevent them. Im going to try that too.

Please hang in there and I hope you and your child can find some rest and comfort for awhile from the bad reaction.

Herxing is never a good thing, especially for children. Here they are taking things that aren't fun to take and it makes them feel worse than if they hadn't taken it?

That's tough enough for us adults to deal with, no one wants to see a child go through that.
Especially because what's causing the herx (which is toxins from die off, not the treatment itself), is not good on the body, there is no benefit to it.

Traveler tells us the idea is to not herx. I'm with her on that.
