What is Cat's Claw?
Cat's claw is an herb that comes to us from the rainforest and native civilizations like the Incas. The name of this climbing vine comes from the curved thorns that the plant uses to fasten itself onto other plants. Cat's claw contains so many active ingredients that most of its actions can be contributed to several of its chemicals. It is best known as a immune modulator, meaning that it can increase deficient immune responses, which cause things like frequent colds and flus, as well as decrease improper immune responses, as happens in allergic reactions and inflammatory diseases.
Cat's claw is and anti-inflammatory agent that can be used for chronic inflammations. It has antioxidant activity. Free radicals are unstable molecules that in their bid to become more stable must bump into healthy cells and cause damage. Cat's claw's antioxidant properties neutralize free radicals and therefore reduce damage the body, including damage to genetic material.
Cat's claw is recommended by natural health practitioners for a variety of conditions including the following,
viral infections, fungal infections, bacterial infections, arthritis,
colitis,
Crohn's disease, stomach ulcers and
chronic fatigue

Cold & Flu
Colds and flus are a part of everyday life. They are usually caused by viruses, although if left untreated, bacteria can move in and cause infection as well. Colds and flus can be treated effectively with natural therapies that both kill the infecting organism and support the immune system. Lingering or recurrent infection is a signal of an immune system that is overwhelmed. Natural therapies are also helpful in these cases, to restore disease resistance.
Cold symptoms include congestion, runny nose, sneezing, sore throat, dry cough, swollen glands and a low fever. As the cold progresses discharges may increase and become green or yellow in colour. The duration of a cold is usually 7 10 days. Flus usually have the same symptoms as a cold but are more severe. High fever, chills and body ache also occur. Flus can also attack the gastrointestinal system and cause nausea, vomiting and
diarrhea. The duration of a flu is usually one week, but full recovery can take longer.
Conventional treatment involves the use of antibiotics if the cold has become bacterial. This usually takes care of the current infection. However, the body becomes susceptible to subsequent infections if the friendly bacteria are not replaced. The overuse of antibiotics has also lead to antibiotic resistant strains of various organisms. Individuals can help to minimize resistance by using antibiotics sparingly and always taking recommendations until they are finished.
Dietary approaches to colds and flus are as follows. Increase fluid intake to decrease the viscosity of mucous secretions. A diet high in raw fruits and vegetables provides a good source of vitamins, minerals and
antioxidants. Onions and garlic are good sources of substances that make up anti-inflammatory compounds and help to kill microbes. Flaxseed and fish oils contain essential fatty acids that are anti-inflammatory. Avoid animal products because they contain inflammatory precursors. Avoid dairy products, processed foods, white flour and sugar products all of which increase mucous production.
