Kyle J. Norton, Master of Nutrients


Whole food(herbal medicine), linking health benefits in the prevention, management, and treatment of diseases has placed an important role in human history over many centuries. The finding of whole food medication by renowned scientists all over the world to replace the single ingredient of Western medicine with little or no side effect has been difficult due to no commercial benefit and pattern right to producers.

Cat's claw found in the tropical jungles of South and Central America, is a genus Uncaria, belonging to the family Rubiaceae, used in traditional medicine over two thousand years as a tonic, contraceptive, anti-inflammatory and infectious agent, and to treat diarrhea, rheumatic disorders, acne, diabetes, cancer and diseases of the urinary tract, etc..

The chemical constituents of Cat's claw include ajmalicine, akuammigine, campesterol, catechin, carboxyl alkyl esters, chlorogenic acid, cinchonain, corynantheine, corynoxeine, daucosterol, epicatechin, harman, hirsuteine, hirsutine, iso-pteropodine, etc.

Cancer is a class of diseases in which a group of cells growing and multiplying disordered and uncontrollable way in our body, becoming progressively worse and damaged other healthy tissues, sometimes spreading to other organs in the body via lymph or blood and results may be in death.

The herbal whole herb medicine may be used for the treatment of various cancers. In a recent study, cat's claw chemotypes showed a directed influence on genotoxicity and cytotoxicity against nonmalignant and malignant human cell lines.

In T24 and RT4 human bladder cancer cell lines, bark samples extracted by dynamic maceration, alkaloids or isomerized derivative significant induced cytotoxic activity in dose-dependent
manner, leading to cells death in the tumor cell divisive process.

According to the Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul (UFRGS) in joint study with other renowned institutions, Quinovic acid glycosides purified fraction (QAPF) of U.tomentosa found in Cat' claw decreased the growth and viability and protected against cell proliferation in both T24 and RT4 cell lines, through interfering with the inflammation, immunity, cell proliferation, differentiation pathway.

In a total of fifty-one volunteers recruited with the median age was 64 (range, 33-85) years, and 47% of patients were female, cat's claw improves quality of life and symptom of fatigue in patients with advanced cancer.

Dr. Dreifuss AA, the lead author at the Cayetano Heredia Peruvian University said, that In vivo, UT hydroalcoholic extract demonstration of both antitumoral and antioxidant effects. The antineoplastic activity may be the result in regulated redox and metabolism homeostasis as well as anti-neoplastic effects.

Taking together, the whole herb Cat's claw may be used for the prevention and treatment of cancers, but the prescribed quality must be given by the herbal doctor to reduce the risk of overdoses.
