Cat’s Claw (Uncaria tomentosa) is a woody vine from the Amazon rainforest, named for the claw-like thorns on its branches. Traditionally used in South American herbal medicine, Cat’s Claw has now gained attention for its anti-inflammatory, immune-activating, and DNA-supportive properties.

In Protocol 2, it is used in the Metabolic Ignition Phase to support the immune system during the oxidative attack on cancer cells and to promote internal cleanup and DNA protection during periods of fasting and cellular stress.


Why 1000 mg?

A dose of 1000 mg is considered a therapeutic strength for systemic immune modulation and anti-inflammatory action. At this dosage, Cat’s Claw:

  • Helps regulate overactive inflammation
  • Enhances immune cell surveillance
  • May promote apoptosis in damaged or abnormal cells

Taking it early in the morning—before antioxidants are introduced—allows it to support immune function without interfering with oxidative kill processes.


How Cat’s Claw Supports Cancer Therapy

Cat’s Claw is not a direct cancer-killing agent like B17 or radiation, but it’s an essential supporting player that strengthens the immune system, reduces chronic inflammation, and helps with recovery and DNA integrity.

Here are the three main benefits:


1. 🧬 Supports DNA Repair and Cellular Health

Radiation, fasting, and oxidative therapies can damage both cancer and normal cells. Cat’s Claw contains compounds that may:

  • Promote DNA repair in healthy cells
  • Encourage death of genetically unstable cells
  • Reduce oxidative mutations in surviving tissues

This makes it a recovery buffer that doesn’t block the oxidative kill—but helps repair healthy cells that endure stress.


2. 🛡 Strengthens the Immune System

Cat’s Claw helps wake up the immune system—especially important during fasting or radiation, when immune function can drop. Studies show it may:

  • Increase white blood cell counts
  • Support T-cell and macrophage activation
  • Boost immune surveillance against damaged or rogue cells

It doesn’t overstimulate, but rather helps normalize immune communication—making it a smart addition during metabolic attacks.


3. 🔥 Reduces Chronic Inflammation Without Blocking ROS

Unlike strong antioxidants like Vitamin C or Curcumin, Cat’s Claw does not blunt oxidative therapy. Instead, it gently:

  • Calms inflammation through cytokine modulation
  • Helps the colon and GI tract recover from radiation or tumor sloughing
  • Reduces systemic inflammatory load while allowing oxidative damage where needed

This makes it one of the few safe, morning-compatible inflammation regulators.


⏰ Why Take It at 6:30 AM?

The Metabolic Ignition Phase is all about controlled cellular stress—and that requires a smart balance of kill pressure and host protection.

Taking Cat’s Claw at 6:30 AM:

  • Enhances immune readiness before radiation or oxidative phases
  • Helps protect your DNA without interfering with treatment
  • Supports gut and colon integrity during tissue breakdown or tumor sloughing
  • Reduces systemic inflammation without antioxidant interference

It works well alongside B17, Artemisinin, Berberine, and Fenbendazole in the morning stack.


🔍 Cat’s Claw – Protocol 2 Summary

✅ Best Timing:

  • 6:30 AM during the Metabolic Ignition Phase
  • Take on an empty stomach to support systemic immune modulation
  • Safe to combine with oxidative agents as it is not an antioxidant
  • Do not take with the antioxidant stack (12:30 PM or later)

💊 Recommended Dose:

  • 1000 mg once daily, taken in the fasted morning stack
  • Standardized extract preferred (with at least 3% oxindole alkaloids)
  • Avoid combining with immunosuppressants or immunostimulant megadoses

⏳ Active Duration in Body:

  • Onset within 1–2 hours
  • Immunomodulatory effects last 6–10 hours
  • Best used daily for cumulative immune-supportive benefits

🔁 Redundancy With:

  • Mild overlap with Turkey Tail (immune activation), but mechanism differs (Cat’s Claw acts via cytokines and DNA repair, not beta-glucans)
  • Complements rather than replaces other morning-phase adaptogens or immune supports
  • No antioxidant interference, safe with oxidative stack

📉 Pathways Inhibited or Affected:

Supports removal of damaged or senescent cells post-treatment

🔒 Final Summary

NF-κB inhibition – reduces inflammation, survival signaling

Immune modulation – enhances NK cell and T-cell response

DNA repair support – protects healthy cells from radiation and oxidative damage

Anti-proliferative – may slow abnormal cell growth under stress

Cat’s Claw is a protective, immune-supportive herb that strengthens your system during daily metabolic battles. At 1000 mg, it helps repair DNA, reduce inflammation, and support immune function without blocking oxidative therapy. When taken at 6:30 AM during the Metabolic Ignition Phase, it prepares the body to fight, recover, and stay resilient.

This makes Cat’s Claw a smart defensive layer in Protocol 2—especially for those dealing with oxidative stress, fasting, and immune sensitivity.
