Guest guest Posted July 2, 2006 Report Share Posted July 2, 2006 Buhner recommends using Cat's Claw to increase CD57 levels in his Lyme book: " One of the best aspects of cat's claw for treating Lyme infection is that it raises CD57+ natural killer (NK) cells, a potent part of the immune system. Lyme spirochetes, after they become established in the body, specifically inhibit the production of this subset of the immune system...This capacity of cat's claw to raise just this NK subset is one of the reasons why it has shown such good results in the treatment of chronic or late-stage Lyme infections.
