ERASE back pain and more with this shaman’s tree trick
Arthritis doesn’t discriminate.
It doesn’t care where you live… how much money you’ve squirreled away… or which political party you vote for.
Once you reach a certain age, this CRIPPLING condition can take hold… and NEVER let go.
And while it may ZERO IN on your knees… hips… wrists… and other joints…
Certain types of arthritis, like RA, can wreak SYSTEMIC havoc on nearly every other body part, too.
That’s why you need a treatment plan that leverages SEVERAL approaches… and ATTACKS arthritis from MULTIPLE vantage points.
Fortunately, the most abundant pharmacy on the planet – a.k.a. the Amazon rainforest – has got just the tool to add to your arsenal.
Get to the root of arthritis… with a BARK?
Shamans of the Amazon have long known about the mystical powers of the chuchuhuasi tree (Maytenus krukovii)…
And this tree bark has become RENOWNED throughout South America’s indigenous peoples and folk healers for its ability to relieve pain.
In fact, Peru’s city and forest dwellers alike agree that “Chuchuhuasi Tree Medicine” is the BEST remedy for arthritis.
The name “chuchuhuasi” even means “trembling back” – an indication of at least one condition it can address.
Research in THIS hemisphere has only emerged since the 1960s… and CONFIRMS the science behind the traditional use of this “jungle cure.”
Like many natural arthritis therapies, chuchuhuasi exhibits anti-inflammatory action, functioning as a COX-2 inhibitor.
That’s the same mechanism behind NSAID pain relievers, only WITHOUT the gut-wrecking side effects and risk of bleeding.
Chuchuhuasi is also a natural muscle relaxant… and an adaptogenic herb that can help fine-tune your immune response.
But this “bark cure” does something else to OPTIMIZE your immune function – an action that’s actually piqued the interest of pharmaceutical companies.
It INHIBITS the action of an enzyme called protein kinase C (PKC).
PKCs have been identified as a culprit behind immune disorders – and rheumatoid arthritis, or instance, is an autoimmune disease.
The expression of PKC has been found to be dysregulated in the cartilage “growth cells” (a.k.a. chondrocytes) of osteoarthritis patients.
So, the theory is that a PKC inhibitor could address at least one of the root causes behind MULTIPLE types of arthritis pain.
And the latest research appears to back that theory up.
A randomized, double-blind clinical trial study out of Peru published in 2017 showed how chuchuhuasi improved joint pain… function… and mobility in osteoarthritis patients.
And those improvements were SIGNIFICANT after just 4 weeks of treatment.
If Big Pharma gets their way… if it EVER gets their hands on chuchuhuasi to develop a pharmaceutical painkiller or arthritis drug… you can BET on one thing.
It’ll ISOLATE a single compound from this healing bark… figure out how to INTENSIFY and SYNTHESIZE it in a lab…
And sell it at a HUGE markup!
But the REAL price you’ll pay for any “quick fix” benefits that you get from a Big Pharma concoction will be the risk of side effects and serious adverse events.
That, my friend, is the Big Pharma playbook.
But you don’t need to play by THEIR rules.
Chuchuhuasi bark extract is available RIGHT NOW… without an Rx… as a tea or tincture or in powdered form.
While the study I just mentioned showed relief after 4 weeks, traditional use indicates that it could take as little as 3 or 4 days of daily use to start to ease arthritic pain.
