ESCAPE the clutches of Lyme disease with this Peruvian bark trick
Officials say that 300,000 Americans are diagnosed with Lyme disease… EVERY YEAR.
But since Lyme masquerades as other diseases… like chronic fatigue and even Alzheimer’s…
There must be LOTS MORE cases that have gone UNDIAGNOSED… and UNTREATED.
Even if you KNOW you’ve got Lyme, it’s notoriously difficult to treat.
Some folks struggle for YEARS… even DECADES… before getting any relief.
If they ever get any relief at all.
Fortunately, there’s an ancient Incan “wood trick” that can SLASH the symptoms of Lyme… and ERASE the bugs that cause it…
Even when antibiotics have REPEATEDLY failed!
The disease that NEVER seems to go away
Native to Peru, cat’s claw (Uncaria tomentosa) is a woody vine with curved – or “claw-shaped” — thorns.
The tribes of the Andes call it “uña de gato”… and they’ve used its bark as medicine since the time of the Incans.
Hence its nickname, the “life-giving vine of Peru.”
Now, cat’s claw is probably best known for its ability to relieve the discomfort associated with arthritis… including both rheumatoid and osteoarthritis forms.
But it makes sense that it could help with Lyme, too… as some of the symptoms of the disease include joint pain, muscle pain, headache, and fatigue.
In tough-to-treat cases of Lyme… clinically known as post-treatment Lyme disease syndrome (PTLDS)… other symptoms that PERSIST can include sleep troubles, mood issues, and more.
Yet a special form of cat’s claw produced STUNNING results in a 2015 in vivo study on Lyme patients.
Now, ALL of these Lyme patients in the study were in DIRE need of help.
Their disease had progressively DETERIORATED over the course of more than 10 years…
And REPEATED courses of antibiotics hadn’t improved their conditions.
After about 6 months, the group that took cat’s claw… and QUIT taking antibiotics… didn’t just feel BETTER.
Their symptom improvements were WAY beyond those of the other group, whose members just kept taking antibiotics… as they had been for YEARS.
I’m talking about joint and muscle soreness and low energy levels like I mentioned earlier…
But also peripheral neuropathy…memory impairment… and cognitive dysfunction.
The thing about cat’s claw, though, is that it doesn’t just MASK the symptoms of the disease… or make you FEEL more comfortable.
It could actually make you LESS SICK!
In vitro research shows that it can actually CLEAR the Borrelia burgdorferi bacteria that causes the disease.
The key seems to be inflammation-blocking compounds called pentacyclic oxindole alkaloids (POAs).
Cat’s claw supplements and teas contain plenty of POAs…
But they also contain compounds called tetracyclic oxindole alkaloids (TOAs) that may SABOTAGE the Lyme-killing effects of POAs.
TOAs might carry some toxicity, as well… and have been linked to central nervous system issues.
That’s why you may want to consider a “TOA-free” form of cat’s claw, a.k.a. samento, which was used in the study I mentioned above.
Samento includes only POAs… and zero TOAs.
The other difference between these two products is that cat’s claw STIMULATES immunity… while samento merely FINE-TUNES it, making it a better option for those who may struggle with autoimmune conditions.
Look for samento in liquid/tincture form online or at your local health food store.
To getting rid of Lyme for good,
