Thanks to the rise of Internet communication people have a lot more exposure to alternative medicine these days. As a result they are finally beginning to liberate themselves from their staid old doctors and take charge of their own well being. What's been most exciting about this development has been the re-introduction of ancient herbal remedies that have proven their worth for thousands of years. Cat's claw (Uncaria Tormentosa) is one such remedy: a potent vine pruned from bark in the remotest regions of the Andes Mountains. Recent scientific studies have proven what the indigenous people of the Andes have known for generations: that cat's claw is extremely effective for strengthening the immune system, reducing various forms of inflammation and cleansing/revitalizing the intestinal tract. As such it is the ideal remedy for any condition related to the three aforementioned phenomena, an excellent herbal supplement for maintaining rude health, and has potential benefits for patients of a host of other conditions such as cancer and HIV. Let's take a look at some of that in greater detail. Cat's claw contains a number of rare alkaloids which cause it to strengthen the immune system when taken regularly. The principal alkaloid responsible for this benevolent effect is Isopteropodin which acts as a powerful anti-oxidant and eliminates harmful free radicals. Cat's claw's anti-inflammatory properties are a result of the alkaloids glycoside, proanthocyanidin and beta sitosterol. Sufferers of rheumatism, arthritis, gout and just about any other inflammatory problem will benefit significantly and quickly from a course of treatment with cat's claw. Cat's claw has long been taken for stomach and bowel problems. The vine's cleansing properties make it an excellent course of treatment for intestinal problems such as irritable bowel syndrome, colitis and Crohn's disease. Its unique curative properties mean it can be used to treat a host of ailments aside from the ones described above including the healing of wounds, gastric ulcers, chronic pain and viral and fungal infections. If you've tried traditional remedies without success you owe it to yourself to take charge of your treatment and utilize remedies that have proven their effectiveness for countless generations. According to Doctor Alan Simpson: "Cat's claw's anti-inflammatory properties are a result of the alkaloids glycoside, proanthocyanidin and beta sitosterol. I've witnessed firsthand the incredible curative effects of this herb. It deeply saddens me that more people aren't aware of alternative remedies. Hopefully Internet distribution will help people who are suffering to find the right remedy."
