Colostrum is a special fluid secreted by the mammary glands of all mammals near
the time of birthing. Its purpose is to promote good health in the newborn.
Colostrum works for adults as well as infants. Colostrum for human use is
harvested from dairy cattle after the calves have been given an amount adequate
for their needs. Colostrumhas been shown to substantially benefit persons with
lupus.
The Science
* “PRP from colostrum can work as a regulatory substance of the thymus
gland. It has been demonstrated to improve or eliminate symptomatology of
both allergies and autoimmune diseases (MS, rheumatoid arthritis, lupus,
myasthenia gravis). PRP inhibits the overproduction of lymphocytes and T-
cells and reduces the major symptoms of allergies and autoimmune disease:
pain, swelling and inflammation.” –Dr. Zoltan Rona, The American Journal of
Natural Medicine, March 1998.
* “The ability to stimulate or suppress the immune response is highly
significant. Suppressing the immune system is necessary to prevent the
immune system from attacking the body itself, as in the case of autoimmune
disease such as rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, MS, Alzheimer’s disease and
allergies. Colostrum’s suppressive action may help prevent this type of
activity involved in autoimmune diseases.” –Beth Ley, PhD Nutrition
* “Colostrum contains a special Proline-Rich-Polypeptide (PRP) that serves as
a powerful regulator of the immune system. PRP in colostrum increases the
permeability of the skin vessels, which offers a regulatory activity, stimulating
or suppressing the immune response.” (Staroscik)
