What about Colostrum?

[Guest guest]

Does anyone know or have any ideas on drinking resh raw colostrum?

Would this be bad or would it be beneficial because of the healing

properties? I am not sure how much caesin or lact. etc would be in

it.

Again i am speaking of those who are not severe. More minor health

issues - or so i think they are - seasonal allergies,

eczema/psorias., constipation to normal BM's.

What do you all think? I am thinking i may order some up to keep

frozen for use at a later time if not good to use now.

From Organic Pastures site:

What is colostrum? Colostrum is the first milk (actually a pre-milk)

produced by the cow after giving birth and is a powerful immune

system booster. The newborn calf still receives all the colostrum it

needs in the beginning of its life. PolyRock Farm only uses the

colostrum from the mother cow that is not used by the calf. Unlike

highly processed colostrums in pill or powder form, fresh raw

colostrum is filled with transfer factors, five vital and life giving

immunoglobulins, antibodies, lactoferrin bacteria, fatty acids,

essential amino acids, vitamins and the highly valued and sought-

after human growth hormone (HGH). Special hormones in colostrum keep

the essential elements in colostrum from being destroyed in the

stomach so they can be absorbed in the intestine and utilized by the

body. Fresh colostrum is nature's way of transferring immune system

strength, traits, and genetic information from one mammal to another.

How much colostrum should I drink each day? Remember that colostrum

is a health food and not a drug. You can not overdose on fresh

colostrum! Drink several pints per week to initially build up your

immune system, then just maintain consumption of a pint or two per

week and drink plenty of raw milk. Raw milk has many (not all) of the

same elements contained in Colostrum, just at much lower

concentrations. You can not (chemically) overdose on any products;

they are food.

What are Immunoglobulins? Immunoglobulins (antibodies) are immune

system boosting elements found in the blood stream. They include IgA,

IgD, IgE, IgG, and IgM, which among other things neutralize toxins

and counter microbial attack. They are collected during pregnancy (in

the breasts and udders of mammals) and are transferred to the newborn

via colostrum (first milk) after being born. These essential

protective proteins form a big part of the immune system and respond

to disease and infection. Bovine colostrum contains high levels of

these antibodies.

Why does colostrum appear pink or yellow sometimes? All bovine

colostrum contains some blood cells (RBC and WBC). Sometimes this is

visible and sometimes it is not depending upon the cow and whether

she had some red blood in her first milk. This is normal. The yellow

color in the colostrum is caused by Lactoferrin: Rich vitamin levels

and the natural fat color of milk fat. All of this colostrum

is " Nectar of the gods, " is normal, and completely safe.
