UNA DE GATO Uncaria tomentosa

Uña de Gato from the Peruvian rainforest is a favorite for stimulating the immune system. World wide research done on this powerful herb has led scientists to patent many of the single chemicals found in it for use in healing cancer, arthritis, AIDS and other diseases. However, traditional wisdom shows that using the whole plant can be far more powerful than any one isolated ingredient. Dr. Brent W. Davis referred to Uña de Gato as "the opener of the way" because of its remarkable ability to cleanse the entire intestinal tract. Because of this ability, Uña de Gato can be used for Crohn's Disease, hemorrhoids, parasites, leaky bowel syndrome, ulcers, gastritis, allergic disorders, diverticulitis, stabilizing intestinal flora and other gastro-intestinal issues.

Uña de Gato is also a powerful anti-inflammatory which makes it very useful for arthritis and other inflammatory diseases. It also helps to increase lymphocyte and microphage production, toniify the blood, and can be used as a broad spectrum infection fighter. Uña de Gato also helps repair the lipid matrix in the cell walls and is particularity good for stopping the expansion of virus laden cells.

At the University of Milan, Renato Rizzi led an experiment with Uña de Gato as it relates to cancer causing (mutagenic) substances in smokers. It is well known that the urine of smokers contains mutagenic substances. When given Uña de Gato for two weeks, the smoker's urine returned to normal. This is important because it shows Uña de Gato can help lessen the risk of developing cancers and other degenerative diseases.
