Colostrum

[Guest guest]

In talking to my Amish friend, I have recently found out that instead

of taking antibiotics for certain bacterial infections, this family

has been using colostrum that they purchase for their cows (which are

antibiotic free cows) on themselves, and have avoided taking

antibiotics this way for 19 years. They have about 10 different

kinds of this colostrum for different things (strep, staph, etc). I

guess they take 1 TB a day until it's gone, and she said the symptoms

usually go away right away. They also put it on cuts and pimples to

heal them.

Has anyone else heard of this or does anyone else do this? It sounds

logical. However, in reading the bottle of it that she has, the

bottle is made for a single injection (into the cow), but they drink

1 Tb at a time and leave it in the fridge (the bottle says to use all

contents in one use, I think b/c it is for injections). I'm not sure

if it's okay to take something orally that is made for injections.

Also, the ingredients say that it contains colostrum AND phenol.

Phenol is a carcinigin and should not be swallowed. The brand they

use is by Impro products, MBA Whey Blend for Dairy Cattle.

Does anyone know if other brands of colostrum (I know they are sold

out there) contain this phenol and if colostrum works?

Thanks,

So what do you folks pay for raw colostrum?

Colostrum is the "first milk" after the kid is born.. It is thicker and has a yellow tint to it.. after that it is just "mommy's milk" If you drink it, then the baby doesn't get what it needs.

I wonder if you can drink it like milk...glasses at a time. Can you get too much colostrum?

Haven't a clue. I wouldn't touch bovine anything. We're not getting the whole story on mad cow and I'm not taking any chances. Maybe if I knew the total lineage of a cow and it lived in my backyard, I might consider partaking of bovine products.

Interesting Jeff. I know with goats the kids need that colostrum desparately from mom right after being born for the immune system but did not know about phlegm.. Suzi PS... clip your posts (the email from don) Jeff <purenatural@...> wrote: I posted awhile back that colostrum dries up mucous from the body, instead of creating mucous. I then said I would find out from my OMD where he learned about this. He didn't tell me. Maybe he can't remember? Here is his reply: "The Colostrum is great for the immune system, and phlegm is a symptom of mucous membrane inflammation (runny nose, cough, etc.) The Colostrum very much helps to eliminate phlegm and mucous from the body." Jeff

That sounds reasonable. I use colostrum with my clients. Specifically, we use it for immune system support, but people have reported many beneficial changes, including some in skin abrasions and different types of tissue problems. That would lead one to believe that if tissue was inflamed, thus producing mucous, that it could possibly be affected by colostrum. Plhegm is an immune response. If a substance helps tissue inflammation, the tissue would not be irritated, and would not have that immune response, and would not produce mucous.
