Cats Claw v. Samento

I really don't know how to answer that but I can say what I read about it.

Our famous Lyme herbalist believes there is no reason to use the TOA-free cat's claw since it just makes it more expensive to consume in the long term, and doesn't add any benefit. He also says the TOA and the POAs both are beneficial to fighting Lyme disease.

The TOAs are argued by some to inhibit the effectiveness of the POAs.

I personally didn't notice much difference in my health with the regular cat's claw, but samento worked really well though! But it is also much more expensive.

Take a look at the following link or you could even google.

My herbalist actually had samento tested and it did not have any cats claw in it at all. When she contacted the company they said it was a proprietary blend of herbs - so it likely has more in it then cats claw.

A lot of folks on here seem to get benefit from it - though I have never personally tried it.

I did cats claw for probably 2 months or so - but I never noticed anything different on it, so I ultimately took it out of my regimen.
