Glycoproteins, in bovine
colostrum, inhibit
the attachment of the Helicobactor Pylori bacteria that cause stomach ulcers. Colostrum
contains significant amounts of Interlukin-10 (a strong inflammation inhibitory agent),
found significant in reducing inflammation in arthritic joints and injury areas.

Colostrum
and breast milk (from cows and humans) stimulates the newborn's immune system; as yet,
unidentified proteins speed the maturation of cultured B Lymphocytes (type of white blood
cell) and primes them for production of antibodies.

Immunoglobulins (found in colostrum) are able to neutralize the most
harmful bacteria, viruses, and yeasts.
Dr. Per Brandtzaeg; Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences
Human clinical study: Immune factors in cow colostrum, when taken
orally, are effective against disease-causing organisms in the intestinal tract. Ingestion
of bovine colostrum's immunoglobulins may be a new method of providing passive
immunoprotection against a host of gut-associated disease causing antigens (viral and
bacterial).

Clinical studies show that IgE (Immunoglobulin), found in bovine
colostrum, may be responsible for regulating allergic response.
Drs. Tortora, Funke & Cast; Microbiology (top)
Studies with human volunteers found that the preservation of the
biological activity of IgG (Immunoglobulin), in the digestive secretions of adults
receiving bovine colostrum orally, indicates passive enteral (intestinal) immunization for
the prevention and treatment of acute intestinal diseases. Dr. L.B.

Colostrum stimulates the lymphoid tissue providing benefits in aged or
immunodeficient people. Nature has used the oral route for the development of the immune
system since the origin of mammals (safe and effective). Oral administration of
immunofactors is simple, inexpensive, free of side effects and may be vastly beneficial in
veterinary and HUMAN medicine, to correct immunodeficiency.

Immunoglobulin from bovine colostrum effectively reduces and prevents
viral and bacterial infections in immune deficient subjects: bone marrow recipients,
premature babies, AIDS, etc.
New England Journal of Medicine
Researchers reported that colostrum stimulates maturation of B
Lymphocytes (type of white blood cell) and primes them for production of antibodies,
enhances growth and differentiation of white blood cells. Similar activity in cow and
human colostrum can also activate Macrophages.
Dr. M. Julius, McGill University, Montreal; Science News (top)
Immunoglobulin in colostrum has been used to successfully treat:
Thrombocytopenia, Anemia, Neutropenia, Myasthenia Gravis, Guillain Barre Syndrome,
Multiple Sclerosis, Systemic Lupus, Rheumatoid Arthritis, Bulluos Pamphigoid, Kawasaki's
Syndrome, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and Crohn's disease, among others.

Concentration of Lactoferrin and Transferrin in bovine colostrum found
necessary to transport iron into blood. Highest concentrations of both substances were
found in the first milking after birth.

PRP, in bovine colostrum, has the same ability to regulate activity of
the immune system as hormones of the Thymus gland. It activates an underactive immune
system, helping it move into action against disease-causing organisms. PRP also suppresses
an overactive immune system, such as is often seen in the autoimmune diseases. PRP is
highly anti-inflammatory and also appears to act on T-cell precursors to produce helper
T-cells and suppresser T-cells.
Drs. Staroscik, et. al.; Molecular Immunology (top)
PRP was found not to be species specific (transferable for human use).
Turns white blood cells into functionally active T cells. Results were shown in treatment
of auto-immune disorders and cancer. An important immune modulator stimulates an
underactive immune system and tones down an overactive one.

Bovine Colostrum contains TgF-B which has an important suppressive
effect on cytotoxic substances (anti-inflammatory). Inhibits cell growth of human
Osteosarcoma (cancer) cells (75% inhibition). Mediator of fibrosis and angiogenesis
(healing of heart muscle and blood vessels), (Roberts et al., 1986), accelerates wound
healing (Sporn et al.., 1983) and bone formation (Centrella et al., 1987).

Only Retinoic acids, found in colostrum, conferred protection and
reduced colonization of the Herpes Virus. Although not a cure, Retinoic acids effectively
reduce the Herpes Virus to levels (1/100 to 1/10,000 viruses remained active after
treatment) where the body's immune system could fight off an outbreak.
Drs. Charles Isaacs, at al.; Experimental Biology; Science

Colostrum contains Retinoic Acid which helps fight Herpes Virus. Also
contains Glycoprotein (kappa casein) that protects against the bacteria that cause stomach
ulcers.

Reducing viral levels in the body and stimulating natural immune
capabilities holds the most promise in helping our immune systems contain the HIV virus.

Growth factors in bovine colostrum were found to be very effective in
promoting wound healing. Recommended for trauma and surgical healing. External and
internal applications.

Cartilage Inducing Factor-A, found in colostrum, stimulates cartilage
repair.

Bovine colostrum contains high levels of growth factors that promote
normal cell growth and DNA synthesis.
Drs. Oda, Shinnichi, et. al.; Comparative Biochemical Physiology
IGF-1, found in colostrum, stimulates bone and muscle growth and nerve
regeneration. Also found: topical administration to wounds resulted in more effective
healing.

The failure of chronic wounds to heal is a major medical problem. Drs.
suggest that an important role for growth factors is in promoting wound healing.
Accelerated healing is possible for treatment with trauma and surgical wounds. Drs.

High age is associated with reduced levels of growth hormones: GH and
IgF-l. Induction of GH and IgF-l increase body weight through muscle growth of aged
subjects.
