The second citation refers to U. rhynchophylla, a diffferent plant. |

Thank you Gerry for the clarification and the details. Gou Teng, Uncaria rhynchophylla, is 钩藤 in Chinese. Uncaria rhynchophylla has been long available as a Chinese med in China with some different combinations. I have asked my friend in China if he can find the extract granules for tea. I will let you know if I get it...

you asked why there wasn't more interest in your post, i gave an opinion.
IT ISN'T a matter of whether NEW SCIENTIST is reliable, it was it was a very general NEWS ITEM of which they re-publish 100's daily, not a scientific paper. were you hoping a lot of people would want to be guinea pigs? |

http://www.jcm.co.uk/research-archiv...-disease-1879/ So your second opinion was again not valid, but I can understand the confusion. Anyway, no need to give a third opinion . There have already been several posters that reacted on it. Some even tried the substance and revealed it helped with their tremors. Anyway, I appreciate your helpfulness. |

OK, I noticed I confused the journal with the American journal of Chinese medecine. So it wasn't published in a big journal, but only on a conference. Anyway, this still was reviewed though I have to admit it is much more easy to get something published in a conference than in a journal. On the other hand, many times things published in a journal can be crap while things in a conference can be much more interesting. Probably they will publish it in a big journal once they finished the tests on the rodents. I guess this is the standard step these researchers have to take before considering a publication in a big journal. Everything has to be tested in fruit flies, cultures and PD rodent models.

please note that the article refers to a formula containing quo teng. And thee herb would be used to address some symptoms of PD which not all of us have. No symptoms no need for the herb as I understand it

Yes, I have used cat's claw on and off for several years. Plan to make tea with it tommorrow, because I feel my body has a need for it again ...don't know why I get "gut feelings about what I should take at times, but I do and try to listen. (sometimes it tells me ..don't eat that! Like the Sugar cookies I made for dad's 87th birthday with butterscotch chips....yumm, so good.....I ate some anyway, but now don't feel so good.
It is best NOT to have Sugar in THE House!! I went after those chips! BAD GIRL Aunt Bean |

I concur its usefulness in a Parkinson's case where Lyme is a factor.
