Colostrinin (from colostrum)

[Guest guest]

Hello, everyone...

I'm a new member on this forum, so I'll intro myself first. I'm mom to 3 kids:

ages 6-1/2 years(NT), 4-1/2 years (nonverbal, ASD), and 7mos. I'm currently in

grad school for Speech Pathology at Univ. of Kansas, so I have access to LOTS of

journals and research (I'll be sad when I don't...talk about having a security

blanket!!). Married to an electrical engineer. I'm feisty, but unsure of what

I'm doing half the time..although I'm good at the whole " fake it 'til you make

it! " approach.

Didn't believe in the " biomed crap " until the proof of my son's medical issues

were staring me in the face....allergies to almost everything, the resulting

oxidative stress from the untreated allergies causing his Vit C levels to

plummet to SCURVY levels, and frightening biochemical signs of possible

excitotoxicity and neurotoxic levels of quinolinic acid. You can't watch your

son's back turn into a blanket of welts from allergy testing and still think

" there's nothing wrong here " , that's for sure! Seeing Dr. Baptist in KC (he's

an allergist AND immunologist...PERFECT!). Been giving a list of

supplements/allergy shots for about a month now.

So that's me in a nutshell. So here's my issue I'm hoping you all have some

input on....it's obvious that my son is one of those Hyperimmune kids. His body

now reacts to 43 different foods as allergens. He had high levels of arabinose

(candida) in his OAT. He has sickness from time-to-time, but I would expect him

to be sick much more often than he is, with his issues. He has what I would

call a smoldering rash on one small spot in the center of his chest for months.

Small, colorless bumps that do not itch much. I attributed it to swimming with a

swimshirt on, but since starting natural antifungals/antivirals it has spread

across his chest (more bumps) and down onto his tummy a bit. He has always had

sensitive skin on his face (he has a redhead for a daddy!), but his cheeks are

broken out into similar bumps...these turn into small pimples, with redness and

white-heads. We usually see this in the winter, but now it's coinciding with

the treatments. I would like to see his immune system more regulated. I've

found a product (online) called colostrinin. It is the proline-rich

polypeptides extracted from colostrum. Colostrinin is supposed to be a great

immune system regulator...turns down a hyper one, ramps up a hypo one. I

believe it goes by the name Cognisure?? Anyways, if any of you have tried this

or colostrum in general, could you give me some input? did it work?, not work?,

drawbacks?, etc....

I've enjoyed all the info you all have shared so far...it's good to meet

like-minded parents!

Thanks for the input, Cheryl...I guess I'm thinking hyperimmune b/c of the

number of foods and environmental stuff (molds, dust, pollen...although not

pets...we have 2 cats!) that he has become allergic to. But I also think he has

a " leaky gut " b/c he has yeast, as well.

For anti's, he's on GSE (10drops 3x's/day), Olive Leaf extract (30drops

3x's/day), Oil of Oregano (4drops 3x's/day), Cumin(1/2t 3x's/day). We rotate

these each day. I also give him Longvida Curcumin (1000mg/day), which has both

anti-inflammatory AND anti-fungal properties.

His BM's have been a lot more regular, but horrible...that airy-chunky stuff

from the yeast (??). But he is getting 3000mg of VitC, and I attribute the

increased BMs to that. He seems more calm and " aware " , but other than that, no

WOW'S...not that I necessarily expected them. For a month or so this summer, he

was only able to say " tickle " ...even in imitation. And he suddenly got very

sound-sensitive. After I started giving him doses of homemade chicken stock for

his gut in the AM and PM, that subsided. So I know something was going on...

But I also think he has a "leaky gut" b/c he has yeast, as well.which would be right. hyperimmune reacts to everything. hypoimmune reacts too little. But both are making the immune system work too hard. It's confusing, I know.

I also give him Longvida Curcumin (1000mg/day), which has both anti-inflammatory AND anti-fungal properties. Oi. He's probably reacting to those. I would ask for Rx. Hyperimmune will react to everything. That's also why diet will always be an issue until you cool off the immune system. If he's reacting to all kinds of food, wouldn't you expect that he'll react to supplements based in food? That's my opinion, at least. It might not be the right one but I like to follow logic when I don't have anything else to go on. That doesn't mean my logic is right.

His BM's have been a lot more regular, but horrible...that airy-chunky stuff from the yeast (??). But he is getting 3000mg of VitC, and I attribute the increased BMs to thatTry backing down. You don't want to be giving so much it causes loose stools.. He seems more calm and "aware", but other than that, no WOW'S...not that I necessarily expected them. For a month or so this summer, he was only able to say "tickle"...even in imitation. If naturals aren't producing any wows...why not try Rx? Just a question, not a judgment.And he suddenly got very sound-sensitive. After I started giving him doses of homemade chicken stock for his gut in the AM and PM, that subsided. So I know something was going on...

Sounds to me like there's a lot going on. What are you giving? Just basic supps other than the above?

You guys,....if my little guy just started getting herpes in his mouth, what does that mean with regards to immune system? What supplements are recommended or not recommended? Could too much lysine cause it? Would Epsom or clay bath help?

ok:..so he's on all that I mentioned, plus D3, vit E, selenium, biotin, acetyl

l-carnitine, l- carnitine, Houston Trienza enzymes, Theralac probiotics, B-50,

5-HTP, and CoQ10...and epsom salt baths, until we can buy the Mag citrate the dr

ordered.

He also ordered lugol's iodine, red. l-glutathione, and calcium citrate, but we

haven't been able to afford to get those yet.

We just ran out of the Theralac, and I'm looking at getting a different

one...it's cultured w/milk, and my son is supposed to be GFCFSF.

Hi there,

Your son sounds very much like my kid. He has severe immune dysregulation and

also dysbiosis. Have you done any immunological workup so far? My son has

elevated IgE and is also allergic to several foods and is developing more

allergies with the passage of time. For immune modulation, I have heard great

things about LDN patches, nicotine patches and some people also benefit from

neuroprotek. I was waiting for my son's immune workup before starting any of

these. I will let you know what my dan recommends as we have an appointment next

week. I had great results with curcumin caps too even at 500 mg daily. Are you

using 1000 mg every day? Also while your child is on antifungals, do you use

activated charcoal to reduce die off? I have used naturals like grapeseed oil,

oil of oregano with less results and a lot of regression as I beleive my son was

sensitive to the ingredients because of his hyperimmune state. But curcumin caps

are the best natural stuff so far that I have used.

Thanks

is

oh, I forgot to mention...I think he's on the naturals first b/c that's our

DAN's protocol. He starts sort of conservatively, and then goes heavy later on.

We move back home in Nov (temporarily living out-of-state), so once our DAN sees

him again, he may be changing some things. We have heavy metal hair results

pending, and we have to schedule a lab to do tests on his fatty acids.

In my mind, that's really not much. At least, nothing major. I'm not surprised you aren't getting wows. These are basics that don't always produce much.I would start thinking about actually treating something bacteria, yeast, viruses, etc. Naturals never did much in that area for us. *But* I will say that in my house, the things naturals did do well with were ammonia and bacteria. High ammonia can cause pretty bad behavioral issues and yucca worked very well with us and for bacteria, Uva Ursi worked well (2 weeks on/2 weeks must keep to that sched. because it's toxic otherwise). Bacteria and ammonia look similar in my house with aggression and anger issues.I would start looking at things that actually affect the immune system and it's functioning more and give visible results to most people. Things like immune support (immunovir, antivirals, LDN, etc) and start looking at treating things a little heavier (like with Rx) since naturals seem to not be doing much. Or maybe you aren't using the right naturals. Like maybe you need to be using something like TF-RMM (Researched Nutritionals) or Immunfactor (Chisholm Biological), things that are more targeted toward specific needs. Find out what your kids needs are in order to get more specific. What you've got going right now is very broad which is what makes them basics and less likely to produce anything wow-like. Every once in a while basics will definitely help someone with wows but it's really not that often, as far as I can tell.I really don't know how else to explain it. Maybe someone else can do a better job because I feel like I'm just saying the same thing over and over. Lol!

Hi, alexis...

I have my son on 1000mg/day of the curcumin...one in the AM and one in the

afternoon. I read that it is great as an anti-inflammatory, and I read on a

mom's blog that 1000-1500mg of the Longvida is what was recommended for her

daughter, who has Downs Syndrome. Not the same, I know, but her daughter was

the same age as my son.

I did try upping his dose to 1500mg, but it made him crazy at night...perhaps a

phenol reax?

Haven't had real WOW'S with ANYTHING we've had him on...like Cheryl said, maybe

b/c these are basics? I think our DAN's trying to get his system back in gear.

His OAT showed a messed up Kreb's Cycle, which may have been influenced by the

amount of Arabinose the yeast are putting out. Arabinose inhibits the Kreb's

Cycle, which is mitochondrial in nature. He may be trying to see what gets

fixed on its own by getting rid of the yeast, but I don't know if that's even

happening with what we're on.

I've been telling myself... " just give it 50 days " ...it's only been about 25.

Some parents have told me they NEVER had a " wow moment " ...that the changes have

been gradual. I dunno...all I DO know is that my son wants to speak but can't.

He had more words at 2yrs old than he does now. We have no idea how all this

happened...we honestly can't say we know what brought on Autism. He had his

vaccines, but no obvious reax. He had roseola, but then again so did my eldest

daughter. He had a strange period of time around the time of gradual onset where

he would have horrible HORRIBLE BM episodes. He would frantically " bear walk "

on his hands and feet in obvious discomfort. When he couldn't hold it anymore,

he would SCREAM and cry. These episodes would take about 15 min. of him with a

red face, sweating, and huddled in my lap exhausted afterward. The poop

wouldn't even be hard, but large, like he'd been holding it in.

I don't know if that was the harbinger of what was to come, but I can't help

looking back and saying, " What if...? " , ya know?

No immune workup yet...but I plan on discussing that with him at our next appt,

yet to be scheduled. He's an immunologist, so he'll probably go for it. No

charcoal, either...we haven't seen enough die-off to warrant it. and it's hard

enough just to get him to take what we're already giving him that we just don't

want to give something that isn't quite necessary.

it 'til you make it! " approach.

> > Didn't believe in the " biomed crap " until the proof of my son's medical

issues were staring me in the face....allergies to almost everything, the

resulting oxidative stress from the untreated allergies causing his Vit C levels

to plummet to SCURVY levels, and frightening biochemical signs of possible

excitotoxicity and neurotoxic levels of quinolinic acid. You can't watch your

son's back turn into a blanket of welts from allergy testing and still think

" there's nothing wrong here " , that's for sure! Seeing Dr. Baptist in KC (he's

an allergist AND immunologist...PERFECT!). Been giving a list of

supplements/allergy shots for about a month now.

> > So that's me in a nutshell. So here's my issue I'm hoping you all have some

input on....it's obvious that my son is one of those Hyperimmune kids. His body

now reacts to 43 different foods as allergens. He had high levels of arabinose

(candida) in his OAT. He has sickness from time-to-time, but I would expect him

to be sick much more often than he is, with his issues. He has what I would

call a smoldering rash on one small spot in the center of his chest for months.

Small, colorless bumps that do not itch much. I attributed it to swimming with a

swimshirt on, but since starting natural antifungals/antivirals it has spread

across his chest (more bumps) and down onto his tummy a bit. He has always had

sensitive skin on his face (he has a redhead for a daddy!), but his cheeks are

broken out into similar bumps...these turn into small pimples, with redness and

white-heads. We usually see this in the winter, but now it's coinciding with

the treatments. I would like to see his immune system more regulated. I've

found a product (online) called colostrinin. It is the proline-rich

polypeptides extracted from colostrum. Colostrinin is supposed to be a great

immune system regulator...turns down a hyper one, ramps up a hypo one. I

believe it goes by the name Cognisure?? Anyways, if any of you have tried this

or colostrum in general, could you give me some input? did it work?, not work?,

drawbacks?, etc....

Cheryl,

I hope you don't mind me cutting in here, but can you tell me more about yucca

and ammonia?

Where does the extra ammonia come from (or the problem with getting rid of the

high ammonia) other than a high protein diet?

Where do you get yucca as a supplement and how do you dose?

Are there any side effects or warnings or contraindications involved with taking

yucca as a supplement or risk if you take it and don't have high ammonia?

Is it as simple as take yucca to lower ammonia or are there other supporting

factors (supplements or whatever?)

Is that popcorn enough?

Thanks,

Cathy

you aren't getting wows. These are basics that don't always produce much.

viruses, etc. Naturals never did much in that area for us. *But* I will say that

in my house, the things naturals did do well with were ammonia and bacteria.

High ammonia can cause pretty bad behavioral issues and yucca worked very well

with us and for bacteria, Uva Ursi worked well (2 weeks on/2 weeks must keep to

that sched. because it's toxic otherwise). Bacteria and ammonia look similar in

my house with aggression and anger issues.
