Just thought I would update you one the progress. Wow! I am quite surprised at how well the Cat's Claw, and Probiotics are working. It has been about 24 hours and the hives, as well as swollen lips, have virtually disappeared. I have been bothered with this for the last week and a half. I tried every herb/technique imaginable. But the combination of Cat's Claw with some good probiotics have eliminated the itching and the swellings. I still see a few white things in my stool but they are becoming less and less. I figure, as Southern Belle said, it is probably parasites or their eggs making their way out. At any rate, I'm going to keep on track. I was tired this morning but my strength is coming back.
