Journal Entry for November 6, 2006 Mood
Monday, November 6, 2006
Once I understood that I am responsible for my health, new ways of caring for myself have come to me. I realize that it is possible to create a life that is supported by rituals of wellness. LOL
Sometimes I say things and then I think what could I have meant by that?
This is one of those times and I know that I want to get at something but I am not really sure how to talk about it.

Today I decided that dance must be a part of my daily life, whether the dance is yoga or walking or my particular gyrations to a great variety of music. LOL Dance brings joy to my whole being. So, dance is a Wellness Ritual for me.

This thinking comes from an insight I had I call Rocks and Pillows. I realized this spring that I've consistently chosen the hard way. In that moment I realized there is another way, there are pillows, I just never saw them for the rocks, the pillows were right behind me, waiting for me to trust that I could fall into them. :)

I started taking Samento for the Lyme Disease and though it is too soon to say anything I am impressed by the literature I have seen.

"Some of the beneficial properties of Samento are attributed to the pentacyclic oxindole alkaloids(POAs) that are found in the plant that act on the cellular immune system and demonstrate powerful immune system modulating properties. SAMENTO does not contain the tetracyclic oxindole alkaloids (TOAs) that are found in traditional Cat's Claw. TOAs disrupt central nervous system function and greatly inhibit the effects of the POAs.

Some researchers believe that Samento may be as much as 1000 times more effective than Cat’s Claw. One difference between Samento and Cat’s Claw is that Cat’s Claw is an immune system stimulant and Samento is an immune system modulator. Also, Samento can be used to treat all autoimmune disorders; this is not the case with regular Cat’s Claw.

In May 2005, pharmacological studies were conducted in laboratory rodents at the University of Guayaquil . The anti-inflammatory effect study showed that Nutramedix Samento extract inhibits inflammation by 83.8%.

There are no known contraindications, no known side effects and no known interactions with other drugs when using Samento. In May 2005, toxicology studies were conducted on Nutramedix Samento at the University of Guayaquil, Ecuador. No toxic effects were reported even when laboratory rodents received 120,000 times the equivalent human dose."

    Samento is a South American cat's claw as I understand it, but as the article says it has properties that the Chinese cat's claw (I think it is Chinese) doesn't have.

    Cat's claw has been used to treat Lyme Disease for some time but I think what this is saying is that Samento is superior to the original Cat's Claw for the treatment of Lyme. I know some people think of Samento as cat's claw and don't understand the difference because it is confusing.

    When I was a child I aspired to be a writer when I grew up. I loved to read and there seemed no greater gift to me than the gift of other worlds, other possiblities. I'm 52 now, do you think I'm a grown up? LOL

    It also says the Samento is good for treating any auto-immune disorder

    Judy, when I was a little girl I loved to read and I aspired to be a writer when I grew up

    Once again, Rinne, I am amazed at your insight and beautiful writing. Thank you for all this information. I am encouraged that there is something other than traditional medicine out there. You inspire me to dance and be more in the moment, thank you my dear friend!
