 20:10:37   kristina   a recent study demonstrated the efficacy of Cat's Claw 
(Unicaria tomentosa) in destroying the Lyme organism. In fact, in the study, 
the control group of 14 patients all took antibiotics and only 3 improved 
slightly, 3 got worse and the remainder had no change in their clinical 
condition. The experimental group was treated with Cat's Claw and 85% of them 
were negative for the Lyme organism after 6 months and all the patients 
experienced a dramatic improvement in their clinical condition. (Cowden, WE, 
MD, et al., "Lyme Disease: Nutraceutical Breakthrough Using TOA-Free Cat's 
Claw", Focus, Feb '04, pp.3,4) In utilizing Cat's Claw, it is extremely 
important that the quality and purity of the product be assured. This herb 
occurs naturally in 2 forms: the more common TOA form and the rarer POA form. 
For those of you with a chemical bent, TOA stands for tetracyclic oxindole 
alkaloid and POA for pentacyclic oxindole alkaloid. Only the POA form 
iseffective in!
  stimulating the immunity which destroys the organism. As little as 1% TOA can 
cause a 30% reduction in the immune system modulating properties that POAs 
provide. Unfortunately some commercially available products contain as much as 
80% TOAs. (Ibid, p. 3) The Medi-Herb Cat's Claw that we use at the RFHC is 1.5% 
to 2.0% POAs, the highest concentration available, and is TOA free. Therefore, 
the amount needed is less, making it much more affordable than other POA 
products on the market. We did a cost study and determined that using Medi-Herb 
Cat's Claw was very cost effective.

 20:14:20   kristina   There are so many more symptoms, but let's go on to 
treatment: 
 20:14:23   kristina   High protein, high fat, low carb diet with vegetables 
(modified elimination diet). Avoid artificial sweeteners. Drink lots of pure 
water. Quality essential fatty acids are critical. 
 20:14:32   kristina   Probiotics to maintain normal bowel flora. 
 20:14:57   kristina   Gall bladder flushes (use hot lemon tea to maintain gall 
bladder function) and a beet supplement such as AF BetaFood.
