Modern chemistry has revealed the presence of oxyindole alkaloids which may, in fact, aid the immune system. Cat’s claw’s glycosides may be responsible for the anti-inflammatory and antioxidant actions of this herb. That is, Cat’s Claw Bark does appear to assist immune function, reduce inflammations and help in the healing of minor injuries. Cats Claw ranked among the top 10 herbs sold in American natural food stores in the late 1990’s. The bark is boiled for 15 minutes to make a thick decoction, drunk 2 or 3 cups a day. The Asháninka use Cats Claw bark to treat asthma, inflammations of the urinary tract, to recover from childbirth, as a kidney cleanser, to cure deep wounds, for arthritis, rheumatism and bone pain, to control inflammation and gastric ulcers, and for cancer. Indigenous tribes in Piura use Cats Claw to treat tumors, inflammations, rheumatism and gastric ulcers. Indian tribes in Columbia use the vine to treat gonorrhea and dysentery. Other Peruvian indigenous tribes use Cats Claw to treat diabetes, urinary tract cancer in women, cirrhosis, gastritis, rheumatism, inflammations and tumors. The Cashibo tribe of eastern Peru believes that Cats Claw normalizes the body and have used it since ancient times to treat fevers, abscesses and to cleanse the system. Keplingers work in the 1970s and 1980s led to several extracts of cats claw bark being sold in Austria and Germany as prescription medicines, four U.S. patents describing the alkaloid extraction methods and the immunostimulating actions of these alkaloids found in Cats Claw, and fueled worldwide interest in the medicinal properties of this valuable vine of the rainforest. In May of 1994, the World Health Organization sponsored the First International Conference on Cats Claw in Geneva Switzerland. At the conference, Cats Claw received official recognition as a medicinal plant and it was pointed out that not since quinine was discovered in the bark of a Peruvian tree in the 17th century, has any other rainforest plant ever prompted such worldwide attention. The most attention to date has been on the oxindole alkaloids found in the bark and roots of Cats Claw which have been documented to stimulate the immune system. Studies indicate at least six of these oxindole alkaloids can increase immune function by up to 50% in relatively small amounts. This has led to its use around the world as an adjunctive treatment for cancer and AIDS as well as other diseases which negatively impact the immunological system. In addition to its immunostimulating activity for cancer patients, other anti-cancerous properties have been documented on the alkaloids as well as other constituents in Cats Claw. Five of the oxindole alkaloids have been clinically documented with anti-leukemic properties, and various root and bark extracts have demonstrated anti-tumorous and antimutagenic properties. Reports on observatory trials with cancer patients taking Cats Claw in conjunction with traditional cancer therapies like chemotherapy and radiation reported fewer side effects to the traditional therapies like hair loss, weight loss, nausea, secondary infections and skin problems. Another significant area of study on Cats Claw has focused on its anti-inflammatory properties. While plant sterols like Beta-sitosterol, acids and other antioxidants found in Cats Claw account for some of these properties, new and novel phytochemicals called quinovic acid glycosides were found in the bark and roots and documented to be the most potent anti-inflammatory constituents found in the plant. These studies indicated that Cats Claw and some of its constituents could inhibit inflammation from 46% to up 69% in various in vivo and in vitro tests. This validated its long history of indigenous use for arthritis and rheumatism as well as other types of inflammation associated with various stomach disorders and ulcers where it was clinically shown to be effective. This same group of chemicals also demonstrated in vitro antiviral properties in another study. Usage: 1 tsp. 2 to 3 times a day depending on condition.
