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.
