Hi Readers,
Supplements are never as good as the salesmen say they are, and they should only ever be prescribed by someone with a degree or at least a diploma in that field, they can be very dangerous, too dangerous to be handed out willy nilly. They never tell you about the side effects.

Detox+
See Price List
Detox
Detox+ is an anti-microbial that regulates, restores, and strengthens the immune system. It helps cleanse the body of dangerous toxins. Detox+ also compensates for deficiencies of biologically active components in the typical everyday diet to improve health and lower the frequency of illness.
Detox+ is recommended for people with immune system disorders. It is also beneficial for restoring health following viral infections.
Packaging:
60 pure vegetable gelatin capsules weighing 387.5 mg each. Supplied in a tamper-resistant container of distinctive European design.
Each capsule contains:
Cat's claw (Uncaria tomentosa)..................380 mg
Action/Effects:
Detox+ works to eliminate toxins and residues from the body, helps clear the gastrointestinal tract, facilitates the assimilation of food, and strengthens the immune system. Detox+ is recommended for restoring vigor and strength, especially following viral infections.
Contraindications:
Detox+ is not recommended for people with organ transplants, pregnant or lactating (breast feeding) women, or persons with high sensitivity to its components.
Dosage:
One capsule of Detox+ in the morning and evening with a glass of water before meals.
Storage:
Store at room temperature (less than 25o C or 77o F) in a dry place. Keep away from children.
Shelf Life:
Three (3) years from the date of manufacture noted on the container.
Note:
Cat's claw (Uncaria tomentosa) is a tropical plant that grows in the rainforest and jungle areas of South America and Asia. Some cultures refer to the plant as the "Sacred Herb of the Rain Forest".
The plant is considered a valuable medicinal resource and is protected in Peru. Many cultures native to the South American rain forest areas have used this herb for hundreds of years.
Current studies show it may have positive effects and boost the body's immune system.
The active substances in Cat's Claw are alkaloids, tannins and several other phytochemicals. Some of the alkaloids have been proven to boost the immune system. The major alkaloid rhynchophylline has anti-hypertensive effects and may reduce the risk of stroke and heart attack by lowering blood pressure, increasing circulation, reducing heart rate and controlling cholesterol.
Other constituents contribute anti-inflammatory, antioxidant and anticancer properties. Many treatments combine the herb with other plants and natural products to increase absorption and bioavailability.
Cat's Claw has long been used as a homeopathic treatment for intestinal ailments. Uses include: Crohn's disease, gastric ulcers and tumors, parasites, colitis, gastritis, diverticulitis and leaky bowel syndrome. By stimulating the immune system, it can also improve the body's response to viral and respiratory infections.
European clinical studies have used extract from Cat's Claw bark in combination with AZT in the treatment of AIDS. It is also used in the treatment and prevention of arthritis and rheumatism, as well as diabetes, PMS, chronic fatigue syndrome, lupus, and prostrate conditions.
For a start Homeopathy is only water with no detectable amount of the original molecule left in it, and if you subscribe to the memory of the original molecule theory, as a lot of Homeopaths do, then why doesn't the water remember all of the people whose bladder it has gone through or all of the sewerage systems it has been through, I wouldn't drink it if it's memory was this good.
Cats Claw does have some validation for Osteoarthritis.

Efficacy and safety of freeze-dried cat's claw in osteoarthritis of the knee: mechanisms of action of the species Uncaria guianensis.
Piscoya J, Rodriguez Z, Bustamante SA, Okuhama NN, Miller MJ, Sandoval M.
Universidad Nacional Mayor de San Marcos, Facultad de Medicina, Lima, Peru.
AIM: The purpose of this investigation was to evaluate the ability of cat's claw, an Amazonian medicinal plant, to treat osteoarthritis of the knee, collect safety and tolerance information and compare the antioxidant, and anti-inflammatory actions of Uncaria guianensis and Uncaria tomentosa in vitro. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Forty-five patients with osteoarthritis of the knee were recruited, 30 were treated with freeze-dried U guianensis, and 15 with placebo. Hematological parameters were assessed on entry and exit of the four-week trial. Pain, medical and subject assessment scores and adverse effects were collected at weeks 1, 2 and 4. The antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activity of the cat's claw species was determined by the alpha,alpha-diphenyl-beta-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) free radical scavenging method. Inhibition of TNFalpha and prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) production was determined in RAW 264.7 cells by ELISA. RESULTS: Cat's claw had no deleterious effects on blood or liver function or other significant side-effects compared to placebo. Pain associated with activity, medical and patient assessment scores were all significantly reduced, with benefits occurring within the first week of therapy. Knee pain at rest or at night, and knee circumference were not significantly reduced by cat's claw during this brief trial. In vitro tests indicated that U guianensis and U. tomentosa were equivalent at quenching DPPH radicals (EC50, 13.6-21.7 microg/ml) as well as inhibiting TNFalpha production. However, the latter action was registered at much lower concentrations (EC50, 10.2-10.9 ng/ml). Cat's claw (10 microg/ml) had no effect on basal PGE2 production, but reduced LPS-induced PGE2 release (P < 0.05), but at higher concentrations than that required for TNFalpha inhibition. CONCLUSION: Cat's claw is an effective treatment for osteoarthritis. The species, U guianensis and U tomentosa are equiactive. They are effective antioxidants, but their anti-inflammatory properties may result from their ability to inhibit TNFalpha and to a lesser extent PGE2 production.
A bit more on cats claw.
Indigenous use
The indigenous peoples of South and Central America have used U. tomentosa for medicinal purposes for two thousand years or more, It is often added to Ayahuasca.Researchers have investigated the use of the plant by the Asháninka tribe of Peru, who use the plant as a general health tonic, contraceptive, anti-inflammatory agent for the gastrointestinal tract, and as a treatment for diarrhea, rheumatic disorders, acne, diabetes, cancer and diseases of the urinary tract.[11] In Brazilian traditional medicine it is used against dengue.[12]
[edit] Allergies
Individuals allergic to plants in the Rubiaceae family and different species of Uncaria may be more likely to have allergic reactions to Cat's Claw.[13] Reactions can include itching, rash and allergic inflammation of the kidneys. In one documented case, kidney failure occurred in a patient with Lupus erythematosus[14] but it is not known if this was due to an allergic reaction or another cause.
There are other plants which are known as cat's claw (or uña de gato) in Mexico and Latin America; however, they are entirely different plants, belonging to neither the Uncaria genus, nor to the Rubiaceae family. Some of the Mexican uña de gato varieties are known to have toxic properties.
