Powerful, Immune-Boosting Compounds
Contains human-active Immunoglobulins (IgG, IgM, IgA), lactoferrin, PRP (proline-rich polypeptide), glycoproteins, interferon, oligosaccharides, enzymes (including lysozyme and peroxidase), cytokines, probiotic bacteria (Lactobacillis Bifidus), transfer factor and multiple growth factors (somatomedin, somatotropin, transforming growth factor, etc.) -
Rich in the Elusive N-Acetylneuraminic Acid (NAA)
Colostrum is the only known food source of NAA, one of the 8 healing sugars, necessary for optimal human physiology and growth. Although NAA is made by the body, levels decline with age and stress, leaving most people deficient. NAA promotes brain development, learning, memory and enhanced performance. NAA is an immune modulator, protecting against bacteria, virus and other pathogens, such as influenza A and B viruses. It also promotes lowering of LDL (the “bad cholesterol”). -
Hormone and Chemical-Free Colostrum
Only colostrum from healthy, drug-free cows contains the richest, purest source of active compounds. This means it will be free of artificial hormones, antibiotic residues or other drugs.The Best Source: colostrum from healthy cows that have never fallen ill or been periodically ill. Avoid colostrum from commercially-raised cows (given artificial hormones and drugs) which may cause adverse symptoms.
What is colostrum?
Colostrum is the pre-milk fluid produced by mammalian mothers for the first few days after giving birth. (It is NOT milk, so those with milk allergies need not worry.) Colostrum naturally contains a broad range of amazing immune boosters: immunoglobins, your first line of defense (IgG, IgA, IgM), hormones, enzymes, growth factors, peptides and nucleotides. No wonder doctors and researchers are now raving about the immune-strengthening benefits of colostrum.
The Infection Terminator
Recent studies show that colostrum has the power to severely inhibit or destroy the growth of many dangerous bacteria, viruses, and funguses, including E. coli, Helicobactor pylori, Listeria, rotaviruses, Streptococcus (many different varieties), Staphylococcus (many different strains), Salmonella, Shigella, Bacteroides, Borrelia, Clostridium, HIV and Candida albicans.
What Does The Scientific Research Say?
U.S. Center For Disease Control: “It is well known that a wide range of anti-viral factors are present in colostrum.”
Researchers from State University of N.Y. at Buffalo: “Antibodies in colostrum control deadly bacteria such as E. coli, Salmonella, Shigella, V. cholera, Streptococcus pneumoniae and more.”
Australian scientists: “Colostrum speeds the recovery from surgery, speeds healing of muscles and holds, or even reverses, muscle wastage.”
Harvard researchers: Colostrum is high in growth factors which speed tissue repair in ulcers, cysts, lesions, trauma and disease.
Dr. Benjamin Frank, anti-aging researcher, showed RNA as an important youth-preserving factor in human nutrition. Colostrum contains growth factors to stimulate growth and repair of RNA.
Swedish researchers at the University of Goleberg showed that colostrum blocked strep bacteria from attaching to lung tissue, thus preventing Strep pneumonia.
Dr. D. Tyrell, researcher at Worthwick Park Hospital in England, showed “colostrum could attach to the surface of viruses and prevent infection.”
Dr. K. Brockman: “The sulfur content in colostrum enhances the natural antibiotic immune response in the body.”
Real Life Stories
Sore Throat And Flu Cleared
Jamie, a two-year old child, had a sore throat and flu for 3 days. Jamie’s mother was reluctant to give her antibiotics. So she decided to give Jamie 2 capsules (about 500mg each) of the natural infection fighter, colostrum. (Her mother opened the capsules and mixed the pleasant- tasting colostrum into Jamie’s food). Jamie immediately began to feel better. An hour later, her mother gave her 2 more capsules. By the next morning, Jamie’s sore throat and flu symptoms were completely gone. Children typically respond very quickly to colostrum.
Pain Vanished
A 56-year-old man, Edward, began exper-iencing pain for no apparent reason in his left side near his kidney. After two months, the pain became constant and began to worsen. Even after numerous medical tests, Edward’s medical doctor was at a loss to explain the cause of the pain. Then Edward remembered his nutritionist had once said that if a symptom persists for no known reason, think “infection.” So Edward got out his bottle of colostrum and took 2 capsules, 3 times per day. In 3 days, the pain was gone.
Flu Knock-Out
A 45-year-old man, Stan, always got one or two bouts of flu every winter. At the start of one very bad bout of flu with headache, stuffy nose and sneezing loudly, Stan decided to go get some antibiotics, when his wife intervened, offering him colostrum instead. Shortly after taking 2 capsules, Stan felt somewhat better. An hour later, he took 2 more and continued to improve. By the end of the day, he had taken 20 capsules of colostrum. The next morning, Stan was amazed to find that he felt perfectly fine. He said this was the first time one of his bouts of flu was knocked out after only one day. (Keep an extra bottle of colostrum on hand — for unforseen circumstances.)
Raging Fevers Gone
A man in his 60’s, Frank, came by our office to thank us for the miraculous effects of colostrum which he had experienced. Lasting more than a year, he had kept getting high fevers and chronic night sweats. He had taken at least 6 courses of antibiotics which had not put a dent in his raging fevers. In fact, they had made his liver worse. After two months of taking 2 colostrum capsules per meal, his fevers and night sweats dramatically cleared. Now he has had no symptoms for over 6 months. Both he and his wife were very grateful.
Allergies Relieved
Ed, a 71-year-old black man, suffered with gradual onset of adult allergies which had escalated to allergic reactions to literally every food he ate. He would sneeze, cough and feel sick after every meal, regardless of what type of food he ate. He then gingerly tried one colostrum. Surprised that he felt so much better, he then tried 2 capsules after the next meal. Finally, when he got up to 5 capsules per meal, he could eat again with no allergic reactions. His headaches, sneezing and allergic symptoms all cleared. He used 5 capsules per meal for about one month. Now he has found that he can use one capsule per meal and remain symptom-free.
