Guest guest Posted February 12, 2010 Report Share Posted February 12, 2010 Hi Isobel, Uncaria tomentosa has two major chemotypes, that is true. I would be totally confident in Medi-Herb's product as they check each batch for the constituents. The " rare " form of Uncaria sounds dodgy to me. I have had very good results with Medi-herb tincture. Hope it helps Subject: samento To: ukherbal-list Date: Thursday, 11 February, 2010, 18:37  Does anyone know whether Samento (described as a rare form of Uncaria tomentosa which is TAO-free) and used to treat chronic Lyme Disease, is the same as what is sold for example by Mediherb as Cat's Claw PAO chemotype (i.e. TAO-free). Is the name 'Samento' just used as a marketing ploy - it costs £29.99 for 30ml from Nutramedix, sold by the Nutri Centre, or is it in fact a different variety. I guess it must be a much more concentrated extract at that price. Would be interested to hear from anyone who has used this or other treatments for Lyme Disease.
