CAT'S CLAW (UNCARIA TAMENTOSA):
A POTENT CELLULAR RECONSTITUTOR

Cat's claw is an herb that grows in the rain forest of the Peruvian Amazon. Native Peruvian Indians have used it for centuries, dating back to the ancient Incas. The inner bark contains unique active constituents to help support the body's natural defenses.

Cat's claw is currently the subject of extensive scientific research and is used worldwide as a nutritional supplement.

I discovered Cat's claw on the internet while desperately seeking a cure for hepatocellular carcinoma. When he informed me of my hepatitis C infection, the blood donor bank technician offered the possibility that I might die from this disease. He suggested that my final demise would be from this form of cancer, because there was no possible way to alter the death path of hepatitis C. Mickey Mantle, Alan Ginsburg, and many other famous people have died from hepatocellular carcinoma, as a complication of hepatitis C.

Unknown to most Americans, Cat's claw is labeled as a cancer cure and sold over the counter in most South American countries. It has terrific anti-viral qualities as well and should not be overlooked in your quest for life.

Six oxindole alkaloids have been isolated from the inner bark. These oxindole alkaloids have been proven to provide a general boost to the immune system and have a profound effect on the ability of white blood cells to engulf and digest harmful microorganisms and foreign matter. Other alkaloids and phytochemicals present in Cat's claw have been shown to provide natural support against many viruses.

Besides containing oxindole alkaloids, Peruvian and Italian researchers have discovered a wealth of other beneficial phytochemicals inherent in the herb, including proanthacyanidens, polyphenols, triterpines and plant sterols beta-stitosterol, stigmasterol and campesterol. The presence of these additional compounds might further explain the anti-oxidant, anti-microbial, anti-tumor and anti-inflammatory properties attributed to this herb. It is a powerful cellular reconstitutor

In the words of Dr. Brent Davis:

Uncaria Tomentosa (Cat's claw) is a world class herb which has the power to arrest and reverse deep seated pathology, allowing a more rapid return to health in the context of consistent A. K. therapies. (50)

During my treatment I took:
Two 500 mg. cat's claw capsules two times per day.
I also drank two cups of cat's claw tea per day.

 

Support for joint, cardiovascular, immune and gastrointestinal function.

A Remedy For:



What it is; What it does

Cat's claw, also known as Uncaria tomentosa, has been used traditionally in Peru for over 2,000 years. Alkaloids, phenols, sterols, and glycosides comprise some of the naturally-occurring constituents of this herb. The effects of these compounds are far-reaching and include support for joint function, gastric and intestinal health, cellular protection and immune activity. In a 52-week, randomized, double-blind trial, cat's claw extract promoted joint comfort in volunteers.

A 4-week study also suggests that cat's claw has the ability to promote joint comfort, in part by moderating prostaglandin metabolism. Other mechanisms of action that may account for these effects include modulation of both oxidative stress and cytokine production. Studies involving cultured gastric epithelial cells suggest that cat's claw may provide important antioxidant protection for gut health. Cat's claw alkaloids have been specifically associated with enhancing immune system cell function, including phagocytosis and macrophage activity. Cardiovascular support properties include support for healthy vascular and platelet function. Preliminary evidence suggests that cat's claw may provide protective support for healthy breast cell function.

Cat's claw extract is derived from the inner vine bard and is standardized to contain 3% alkaloids and 15% polyphenols, providing potential joint, cardiovascular, immune and gastrointestinal function support. This cat's claw extract contains 2.73% POAs and 0.27% TOAs.

How Cat's Claw May Help with Arthritis

The anti-inflammatory effects of Cat’s Claw have proven beneficial in the treatment of arthritis, rheumatism, bursitis and gout. As an antioxidant, it also helps protect cells from damage caused by free radicals. Its beneficial effects in treating arthritis pain may also be due, in part, to its ability to cleanse the digestive tract and aid in removing toxins from the body. Arthritis, joint pain and inflammation as well as chronic fatigue, allergies, immune deficiency and a host of other conditions have been associated with defects in intestinal permeability (leaky bowel syndrome) and toxin overload
