SAMENTO
(Uncaria tormentosa)
Part Used:                         -  Bark.

Historical Dosage:            -  Capsules: 3 of our capsules {400mg} 2
times per day for 10 days, then decrease to 2 capsules 2 times per day.

Body Systems Targeted:  -   Immune.

Application: Samento is still the same plant (Uncaria tomentosa) as
Cat's Claw
, but different in it's amazing power to strengthen the immune
system. It is a rare chemotype of a medicinal plant commonly known as
TOA-free
Cat's Claw. Unlike traditional Cat's Claw products, it does not
contain chemical antagonists called tetracyclic oxindole alkaloids (TOAs).

Although
Uncaria tomentosa plants look alike to the naked eye, they
occur in nature with two very different chemical make-ups, called
chemotypes. One chemotype provides POAs, the type of oxindole
alkaloids (OAs) proven to benefit both naturaland aquired immunity. The
second chemotype provides TOAs, the type of OAs that do
not  benefit
aquired immunity and
cancel out the benefits provided by POAs.
Samento is a wildcrafted product of a unique Pervian rain forest and has
been found to be TOA free.

The British Naturopathic Journal, Vol 19, No. 2, 2002, reported that
studies conducted by John Kule, MD found that the following conditions
were treated with Samento and found to be safe and natural remedy with
a wide range of therapeutic efficacy: chronic fatigue, fibromyalgia, stroke,
chronic back pain, post breast cancer, diabetes, hypertension, irritable
bowel, candidiasis, hypothyroid, menopause syndrome, pre-menstrual
syndrome, peptic ulcer disease, gastritis, rheumatoid arthritis, arthritis,
schizophrenia, asthma, Lyme disease and prostate problems.

Worldwide Uses of Samento:  abscesses, AIDS, arthritis,
anti-inflammatory, asthma, blood cleanser, bone pain, cancer, cirrhosis of
the liver, diabetes, diarrhea, disease prevention, dysentery, fevers, gastric

Lyme disease is something we should all be aware of! Lyme disease is
the fastest-growing epidemic in the world. The Center for Disease
Control (CDC) in Atlanta, Georgia affirms that "there is considerable
underreporting" of Lyme disease, maintaining that
the actual infection
rate may be ten times higher
than the 180,000 cases currently
reported. The Sierra Itergrative Medicine Clinic in Reno, Nevada states
that "Authorities estimate that up to 90 per cent of the population could
be carrying the Lyme spirochete and that
Lyme disease factors in over
50 per cent of the chronic illnesses.
"

Katrina Tang, MD, HMD, Founder and Director of Research of the
Sierra Integrative Medicine Clinic, states that Lyme disease eludes
doctors because of its ability to mimic other diseases. For example,
according to an informal study conducted by the American Lyme Disease
Alliance, most patients diagnosed with chronic fatigue syndrome are
actually suffering from Lyme disease. In a study of 31 patients diagnosed
with chronic fatigue syndrome, 28 patients (or 90.3%) were found to be
ill as a result of Lyme disease.

Lyme borreliosis causes, mimics, is manifested as, is
mis-diagnosed as, or is a contributing factor in many conditions
such as:
acute coronary syndrome, acute meningitis, AIDS, Alzheimer's
disease, Bell's palsy, bipolar disorder, brain tumor, brown recluse spider
bite, cardiac disease, coronary abeurysm, depression, epilepsy, fetal
death, fibromyalgia, headaches (severe), hepatitis, infectious
mononucleosis, juvenile rheumatoid arthritis, lymphoma, multiple
sclerosis, peripheral facial palsy, rheumatoid arthritis, sudden infant death,
Tourette's syndrome, vertigo, ALS (Lou Gehrig's disease) and so on for
over 100 health problems ....

It is believed that years can pass before symptoms appear in a patient
that has been infected with Borrelia
(Lyme Borreliosis). If you have ever
lived in a wooded area, walked through a wooded area, or had a dog or
cat that has walked through a wooded area, you may have Lyme
"lurking" in your body!

In addition to ticks, it has been learned that Borrelia can be carried and
transmitted by fleas, mosquitoes and mites. Humans have been known to
pass the disease through breast-feeding and blood transfusions.

In Bulgaria where there is ahigh incidence of Lyme disease, Atanas
Tzonkov, MD, director of Bulgaria's largest private medical clinic, has
treated thousands of patients with Samento. He reports that it has been
used successfully to treat over 100 conditions.

Contraindications: Due to its immunostimulant effects, should not be
used with medications intended to suppress the immune system. Samento
may also increase the blood thinning properties, so if you wish to become
pregnant, do not take Samento.

May cause diarrhea. If this occurs, just lower your dosage.
