Product Code: NHP-718-950730mlSupport for the immune system
From deep within the rainforest and refined by scientific knowledge, comes Samento©. Samento is a proprietary extract of uncaria tomentosa, also known as cats claw, in an easy-to-take full-spectrum liquid extract. Its the pentacyclic (POA) form of cats claw that has been shown to support immune function, and Samento delivers the pentacyclic constituents, certified free of TOA (tetracyclic oxindole alkaloids).
Given the recognized difficulty of successfully treating Lyme disease with standard antibiotic therapy, Samento extract is an alternative treatment that is natural, nontoxic, well-tolerated, effective, and can be taken orally for as many months or years as needed, being a welcome remedy in the Lyme war.
Samento extract is more than pentacyclic oxindole alkaloids (POA). The water-alcohol Samento extract also contains many other beneficial components. Multiple quinovic acid glycosides are present as well.?These compounds are what the latest generation of quinolone antibiotics (such as Cipro©) are based on. The natural compounds provide safe and significant direct antimicrobial effects on Lyme disease. The quinovic glycosides also have shown antiviral activity against rhinoviruses (cold viruses) and vesicular stomatitis virus (oral cold sores).
Samento also contains the triterpenes oleanolic and ursolic acid. These have been shown to have liver-protective, anti-inflammatory, antiviral, antibacterial, anti-ulcer, immunostimulating/modulating and blood sugar-lowering properties. Catechin polyphenols, including epicatechin, with anti-inflammatory and blood sugar-lowing effects, are also present in Samento.
John Kule, M.D., began using Samento in his practice in March 2002. After treating 60 patients with it, he wrote a report for the British Naturopathic Journal. He used it to treat a broad range of conditions, including chronic fatigue, fibromyalgia, hypertension, irritable bowel syndrome, candidiasis, gastritis, rheumatoid and osteoarthritis, Lyme disease and benign prostatic hypertrophy. Fifty-nine out of 60 showed distinct clinical improvement.
Frequent findings were increased energy, enhanced sense of well-being, lifting of ?brain fog,? decreased inflammation, decreased blood pressure in hypertensives, decreased fasting blood sugar in diabetics, reduced fluid retention, and reduced blood pressure medication in hypertensives. He found only few, mild and transient side effects. Several patients did experience the Herxheimer reaction (please see cautions).
Dosage:
Shake well before each use. Put 1 to 15 drops in a glass, add 4 oz. (120 ml) of pure water and wait one minute before drinking. Start with 1 drop 2 times per day slowly increasing up to 15 drops 2 times per day or as directed by your physician.
Caution:
Because Samento empowers the immune system, it should not be used by those on immunosuppressive drugs, e.g. to prevent transplant rejection, nor should it be taken by those who are soon to undergo organ or bone marrow transplants. Since Samento has been shown to lower blood pressure and blood sugar, those with severe low blood pressure or hypoglycemia should use Samento very cautiously. Pregnant or nursing mothers, as well as very young children, should not use Samento unless advised by a physician. Anyone taking Samento should start with a low dose (one drop in four ounces of water twice daily) and slowly work up to five drops two or three times daily, taken on an empty stomach.
Because Samento enhances immune activity and directly kills germs, it may trigger a Herxheimer reaction, especially if started at too high a dose or with too rapid dose increase. The Herxheimer reaction may include headache, muscle pain, nausea, diarrhea, or flu-like symptoms. It is thought to be due to toxins released from the mass death of microbes killed through treatment, as well as to the immune system's inflammatory overreaction to the germ toxins. Drinking lots of water and
