? for Kendra on liver enzymes, cat's claw, etc.

[Guest guest]

Hi Kendra,

What was the other herb besides cat's claw that your llmd cautioned you about

possible

problems with?

I see someone else asked this and I went through the archives and tried to find

an answer

but didn't see one (sorry if I missed it).

Thanks very much!

Blessings,

Ann
