Immune boosters...or not.
I do alot of reading on the forums, old posts and new. There's always something more to learn. So, even if I'm not posting, doesn't mean I'm not paying attention.
In fact...I just had a lightbulb go off tonight, and I hadn't considered it before. Lyme has continued to show up on the biofeedback, computer testing (and the Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever I knew I had 40 years ago from a tick)...Cat's Claw is supposed to help with Lyme arthritis, and I started taking it a few weeks ago for stiffness in my hips/lower back, as a test.
It is also supposed to help heal the gut, and with digestive issues.
It's an immune booster. That is what I hadn't taken into consideration before. It says that in people with auto-immune "diseases", that it is contraindicated. I've thought about the parasites/candida/bacterias etc taking over a body that has a weakened immune system...but I hadn't considered that if a body has an auto-immune disease
(which Celiac is supposed to be):

...that you don't want to boost the immune system with things like Cat's Claw? Just a thought.
