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.
