Cat's Claw is often recommended in Lyme and Tick Co-Infection protocols as an

antibacterial, antiviral, and immunomodulator for multi-systemic support, including:

Cognitive/Brain: The therapeutic properties are said to be able to cross the blood-brain barrier to
assist with cognitivebrain symptoms!
Joints and Tendons: "elps improve #oint symptoms!
Liver: $rotects against liver to%icity!
GI system: Cat's Claw has been used traditionally for intestinal deto% and bowel regularity!
Prostate health
&e carry several brands and types of Cat's Claw !na de Gato" # Uncaria tomentosa! &e offer
T$%#&ree 'also called P$%( and traditional, or ')egular' Cat's Claw, in both root and vine
preparations!

Inner Bar' vs( )oot Preparations:
*ost formulations are prepared from the inner bark of the Cat's Claw vine!
+ome formulations are prepared from the root of the plant '+aventaro(! )oot preparations that we
carry contain $,-'s in more concentrated levels than inner bark preparations!

T$%#&ree P$%" Cat's Claw:
*$+indole al'aloids: Tetracyclic oxindole vs( Pentacyclic oxindoles(
Cat's Claw ,ontains many ,hemi,als- in,l.ding the above al'aloids( +ome select studies have
focused on these o+indole al'aloids and their s.,,essf.l therape.ti, effe,ts( They show that
Tetra,y,li, o+indole al'aloids T$%s" significantly inhibit or even cancel out the advantages of the
Penta,y,li, o+indole al'aloids P$%s"( It has also been reported that traditional Cat.s Claw plants
can contain up to /01 T,-s, and even 21 T,-s can inhibit the $,-s by 301! Based on these
select studies, "TOA-Free" Cat's Claw, also called "POA" Cat's Claw emerged as a new product.

+amento 4rand or $rima 5na 6e 7ato 4rand - Is there a therapeutic difference8 +ome practitioners
suggest that $rima 5na 6e 7ato brand T,--9ree Cat's Claw is more therapeutic!

Traditional- ')eg.lar' Cat's Claw:
,ur selection of regular Cat's Claw products are made from the inner bark, containing both T,-s and
$,-s! +ince it is a traditional medicine, these high :uality preparations may also be of great benefit
in enhan,ing imm.nity! In fact, there is a controversy as to whether the branded T,--9ree products
are in fact therapeutically 'better' than traditional preparations!

;I*$,)T-<T: +ome protocols on the internet suggest using T,--9ree Cat's Claw as
your primary, sole antimicrobial! T,--9ree's action in lower doses impacts the immune
system ! If you are soley taking a low dose of T,--9ree Cat's Claw, like +amento or
$rima 5na 6e 7ato, you will need to add -ntimicrobials to handle the large amount of
pathogens in earlier protocol phases! +amento or +aventaro, in our opinion, may not be
weighty enough alone to handle the high count, multiple pathogen load!

"ere is our suggestion:
<ew to protocols:
2! +tart your protocols with T,--9ree Cat's Claw - finish =-3 bottles - before you switch
to )egular Cat's Claw or capsules! 6o not use T,--9ree and )egular on the same day!
&e suggest you start with the li:uid form before you switch to capsules! There is very
low alcohol in li:uid +amento - it has a mild, well tolerated mineral taste!
=! Combine the T,--9ree Cat's Claw with other -ntimicrobials - we suggest you start
with the 4ioClear Cleansing >it in li:uid form, used ?-20 minutes after you dose with
T,--9ree Cat's Claw!
'&hy take another -ntimicrobial8 If you have a high pathogen load, +amento alone may
not be enough to address them all, and you will add weeks to your protocol!(
3! To be safe, gradually work up the dose of T,--9ree Cat's Claw - ,ne drop at a time!
-fter one to three weeks 'after your dose and fre:uency is well tolerated(, you may then
go ahead and add 4ioClear products!

)emember to ad#ust product doses and fre:uency of taking them, depending on
"er%heimer symptoms! )ead more about "er% here!!! If you are very ill, for instance,
adding too many products at once will set you back!

It's a good idea, if you have had success with T,--9ree Cat's Claw, to use it in
maintenance protocols down the road, #uggling it with regular Cat's Claw! 4y then, you
will not need 4ioClear Cleansing >it!
