Samento is a rare, very pure form of Cat’s Claw that has anti-viral, anti-inflammatory, anti-tumor and anti-oxidant properties. Studies prove it to be beneficial in the treatment of a wide range of immune system related conditions, not only for people but pets as well.
Cats Claw root extract has been studied for its ability to help wipe out cancer cells. Scientists discovered POAs help increase the number of killer T-cells. These specialized T-cells not only kill virus-infected cells, but seek cancer cells.
Unlike traditional Cats Claw products, SAMENTO doesn’t bear a group of chemical antagonists called tetracyclic oxindole alkaloids (TOAs) that work upon the central nervous system and greatly inhibit its effectiveness. SAMENTO contains a standardized amount of pentacyclic oxindole alkaloids (POAs) that act on the cellular immune system and demonstrate powerful immune system modulating properties.
POAs also are advantageous to individuals with HIV and AIDS. HIV attacks helper T-cells. While the body initially makes more new helper T-cells, its ability to replace these cells gradually fades. Without helper T-cells, killer T-cells can’t kill infected cells very well. By slowly depleting helper T-cells and making killer T-cells less effective, infections are able to slowly overwhelm the body.
Because the POAs found in Cats Claw extracts increase production of helper T-cells, researchers learning these powerful plant compounds are confident Cats Claw has a role in HIV and AIDS treatment.
Benefits to the immune system
TOAs have different effects in the body, none helping the immune system cells. When POAs and TOAs are mixed, the TOAs work against the POAs.
Chemotype identification takes significant time and costs money. For these reasons, many Cats Claw distributors don’t distinguish between the chemotypes. The POAs and TOAs are often mixed and sold as a Cats Claw product. No mention of any alkaloid content is made on several Cats Claw product’s packaging. If the product label doesn’t give the amount of TOAs, chances are it contains TOAs. Usually product label will state “TOA free”.
Even before Samento appeared on the market, a lot of evidence had been accumulated regarding the helplessness of conventional medicine on one hand and the unsuspected therapeutic possibilities of the so-called alternative, natural or complementary treatments on the other hand.
Samento interacts with the psyche and the mind, as well as with the cells, the tissues and the body. It’s been serving human health successfully even before the birth of modern medicine and this is only among the reasons why many contemporary physicians are avoiding it, frightened by it, renouncing it without even knowing it. Modern medicine has reached unbelievable depths, but lost sight of the whole. It gained control of the cell, but lost hold of the human.
If your doctor won’t hear about herbs and other natural remedies, if he declines to read the appropriate books or periodicals on this subject. You might prefer to consider that the time has come to look for a more caring, skilled, responsible doctor, one trained to emphasizes the body’s intrinsic ability to heal and maintain itself.
