Re: breastmilk treatment? [Dosage of colostrum for /Gail]

[Guest guest]

Dear Group,

In my files dated 2001 (when I took the colostrum) I had a site.

Just went there, and I'm sure there is a lot of new information

(based on all the new transfer factor research).

Here are two of many sites that had good information:

http://www.newlifefoods.com/about_colostrum/research_home.shtml

http://www.newlifefoods.com/about_colostrum/how_to_take_colostrum.sht

ml

I have several other posts about colostrum from 2001 in my files.

(I've been a support group leader for about 7 or 8 years now, so I

hold onto a lot of files. lol I'll look them over, and if any seem

especially good, will post them later.)

I took a tablespoon of the Kal powder under the tongue on an empty

stomach twice a day, LETTING IT STAY THERE UNTIL IT DISSOLVED

SLOWLY. I believe this allowed it to better be absorbed directly

into the mucosa and bloodstream.

I have a friend of several years who has scleroderma. She tells me

it is one of the most effective supplements she has ever used -- and

most of you know what a difficult disease SD is.

Good luck, and please let us know if you use it and it helps you.

Your experience can help others.

Hi bg,

I just wanted to double check with you to make sure you meant

a " tablespoon " twice daily. I ordered some for Vitaminshoppe ($19 if

any are interested) and the directions say to take 1 " teaspoon " not

tablespoon twice daily. I decided to just take a teaspoon but wanted

to check with you again to make sure the dosage you took to relieve

your back problems.

Thanks,

Gail N.

Gail,

When I went back to a paper in my files to check before I posted the

answer previously, the one I looked at said one tablespoon -- it has

been about 3 years and I must confess I didn't remember for sure,

but was thinking it was only one teaspoon I used. Since I saw in

the document " one tablespoon " , I put that. Either dosage will not

hurt you and will be helpful, but I think it's always good to start

at the lower dose. Since colostrum is a source of glutathione

production, it's possible you could have a mini herx; however, I did

not. My back pain just started getting better in several days.

What brand did you get?

I'm really pleased to learn about it being a good source of

glutathione and plan to start on it again intermittently with the

undenatured whey protein after I finish my 4 months on Immune64.

Since I know I have low Natural Killer Cells, and since I've read

Rich's work on glutathione, I feel I will always work on upping my

glutathione.
