Colostrum benefits: Colostrum and scientific research without the bias
Colostrum is the pre milk substance produced in all
mammals during the time of childbirth. Colostrum, which has many benefits,
has been the subject of research for many years. Over the last two decades
alone, more than 2000 research papers have been published hailing the role
played by colostrum in curing various diseases.
The benefits of colostrum were first documented in
India and reached the western world in 1950s, when a group of scientists
depicted the method to isolate the anti-polio substance from cow's milk.
Polio was a major disease in the west at that time making this a major
breakthrough. In 1969, a paper published in �Natural History�, revealed
that colostrum contains up to 40 times the amount of immunoglobulin G, one
of the body's most effective immune protectors, than human breast
milk.
Research on Colostrum Worldwide
A paper published in1979, was presented at the annual
meeting of American Pediatric Society brought about a major revolution in
the field of colostrum research in the western world. Here, it was stated
that colostrum has the ability to fight a host of diseases. Since then,
these findings have been confirmed by various researches all over the
world and the popularity of colostrum has grown
exponentially.
Later, Dr. G.P. Davidson and co-investigators at the
Gastroenterology Unit, Adelaide Medical Centre for Women and Children,
South Australia, conducted an experiment to determine the effect of
colostrum on children between 3 and 15 years old. It was observed that
none of the children, who were given a regular dose of colostrum, were
affected by any diseases. On the other hand, many of the children who had
not consumed colostrum were affected by rotavirus, the world's most common
pediatric intestinal disease that causes childhood diarrhea.
Since then, researchers all over the world have
proved the undeniable benefits of colostrum for children and adults alike.
Researches have also proved that all the benefits of colostrum can be had
only if it is taken within 12 hours of birth, preferably from the first
milking.
Universally hailed as the new 'wonder' supplement,
colostrum in its original form has been around for as long as it has
existed; in fact colostrum is the initial food source of all
mammals.
Again and again, what is Colostrum?
Colostrum is the first secretion produced from the
mammary gland, which precedes milk. During the first 24-48 hours following
birth, colostrum provides life supporting immune and growth factors (IgG
and IGF). These help form the building blocks for healthy development.
Colostrum is so important to animals that they would die without it. The
benefits of colostrum in the natural state are well documented, however
availability in supplement form is a more recent development. This
development is due to a revolutionary low temperature process, which
enables the product to be powdered and encapsulated, without losing
beneficial properties.
So Why Do I Need Colostrum?
Colostrum strengthens your immune system

High levels of IgG (immunoglobulin) provide
unparalleled immune boosting properties to ward off disease. A high level
of IGF (insulin-like growth hormone) accelerates tissue building and
repair in adults. It is highly beneficial in combating the effects of
ageing joints, leaky digestive systems and assisting athletes build lean
muscle.
The Universal Healer?
Colostrum has been shown to assist in the healing of
a variety of ailments such as allergies, candida, sinus problems,
auto-immune disorders, high cholesterol, colds and flu, asthma, irritable
bowel syndrome, leaky gut syndrome, stomach ulcers, chronic fatigue
(M.E.), diabetes, arthritis, rheumatoid arthritis - to name a
few.
Any Backup Information by Experts?
Need expert opinion?
In recent years, medical journals around the world
have published numerous articles on the benefits of colostrum:
Dr Olle Hernell from the University of Ulmea in
Sweden states, "Glycoproteins in bovine colostrum inhibit the attachment
of the Helicobacter pylori bacteria that cause stomach ulcers. Colostrum
also contains significant amounts of interleukin 10 - a strong
inflammation inhibitory agent found significant in reducing inflammation
in arthritic joints and injury areas".
Dr L Khazenson, a microbial and epidermal expert
states, "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 internal
intestinal immunization for the prevention and treatment of acute
intestinal diseases."
Dr Dwyer , New England Journal of Medicine -
Immunobiology states "Immunoglobulin in colostrum has been used to
successfully treat: Thrombocytopenia, Anaemia, Neutropenia, Myasthenia
Gravis, Guillain-Barre Syndrome, "Multiple Sclerosis, Systemic Lupus,
Erythematosus, Rheumatoid Arthritis, Bullous, Pemphigoid, Kawasaki's
Syndrome, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and Crohns Disease among
others."
Any Groundbreaking Scientific Data on
Colostrum?
- Presence of Growth hormones - TGF, IGF-I, IGF-II
- Immunoglobins - IgG, IgA, IgM, IgD, IgE
- Lactoferrin iron binding protein - for resisting intestinal bacteria and free radical damage
- Retinoic Acid - destroys viruses, stimulates healing
- Proline-rich Polypeptides (PRP) - for calming overactive immune system; stimulating under-active immune system
- Glycoproteins - help immune and growth factors survive the highly acidic digestive system
- Lactobacillus Bifidus Acidophilus - helps promote healthy bacteria to combat Candida albicans and irritable bowel syndrome
- Interferon & Interleukin-2 - a cytokine that stimulates cell growth in the immune system and inhibits viral activity
- Lysoenzyme protein - attacks bacteria
- Oligosaccharides - block attachment of bacteria especially S.pheumponococci to mucous membranes, thereby aiding in the prevention of respiratory inflammation
- Cartilage Inducing Factor A, as well as vitamins and minerals
Try Colostrum today! You won't regret it
