brightrosefox | Cat's Claw revisited (Reply)

Ah ha. Now I know why those Cat's Claw herb sites warned users to be cautious concerning birth control: Cat's Claw is a potent contraceptive because it high enough doses, it induces spontaneous miscarriages. Kinda like that synthetic abortion pill. So it's okay to take it while on the Pill, just never while actually pregnant--according to all these articles. Still I'm only going to take the half-dose, which is one or two capsules a day. Pau D'Arco, too, is considered a Brazilian version of ginseng or guarana. I know that when I take it, and the Cat's Claw, I certainly feel much more energetic, awake, focused, and motivated--and less allergic! I know darn well that caution must be exercised with any medication, alternative or not, so yes, I am being very careful. I just love making discoveries. I do plan on studying herbalism and homeopathy in regards to biochemistry and biophysics, anyway. Possibly neurobiology.
