Guest guest Posted March 7, 1999 Report Share Posted March 7, 1999 Hi Sandy and Everyone, Your colostrum experience was very interesting and it will be even more interesting if your hyper symptoms further abate following cessation of colostrum. I looked up colostrum to see if it might have any thyroid stimulating effects. Both colostrum and milk have measureable levels of the thyroid hormones, T4 and T3. Apparently after birth, when the baby (all mammals) leaves the warmth of the mother's uterus and is exposed to the outside air, an increase in thyroid hormones is necessary to increase the baby's heat production to maintain body temperature. Colostrum and milk seem to satisfy this increased need for thyroid hormones, although the amount of T4 and T3 is not high. One study indicated that the T3 and T4 in colostrum and milk does not exceed 7% of the baby's daily requirement. But another study indicated T4 and T3 levels in milk are three times the levels in the blood. Another study indicated that colostrum levels of T3 and T4 are higher than in milk. Colostrum is considered a stimulant and the presence of thyroid hormones in colostrum might be the reason. However, I doubt that the levels are enough to create hyperthyroidism. But they might be enough to put someone over the edge who already has high thyroid levels. Colostrum seems to be more of a vehicle to carry hormones from the mother to the baby rather than as a source of nourishment. Because of the presence of so many different types of hormones that might be present, then many types of hormonal stimulation might be occurring. In light of Sandy's experience and the knowledge that colostrum is primarily a stimulant, then it would seem very adviseable for hypers and pheos to avoid it. Hopefully Sandy will report a lessening of her hyper symptoms and we can add colostrum to the list of supplements not to take. Special thanks to Sue Engel for the information about colostrum! ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 7, 1999 Report Share Posted March 7, 1999 , Now I understand why I can't tolerate milk!! I did the allergy test thing before I knew I had Graves Disease and the only problem that showed up was dust mites and yet, every time I would drink milk I would break out on my chin...to make a long story short, Iodine is also present in milk along with the T3 and T4, I am allergic to Iodine(not a test for this yet) and my free T4 would be way off, the thyriod hormone was dumping into my blood stream and making the hyper symptoms/storms, and my T3 was too low. Since my ranges are all normal again, I have noticed if I have any dairy products at all within 24 hours I will have the Graves eye symptoms such as dry, bulged, and painful so that explains it for me ...thanks!!

Guest guest Posted March 8, 1999 Report Share Posted March 8, 1999 I am surprised how much i learn from this group. How do you find out whether the milk has Iodine? I live in Australia and I wonder whether our milk is the same as in the US. , is it possible to have a list of foods which may have iodine? thanks > Re: Colostrum > > > , > Now I understand why I can't tolerate milk!!

Guest guest Posted March 8, 1999 Report Share Posted March 8, 1999 , it is the iodine the farmers use to clean out the milking machines and the cows utters that disturbs the milk and affects me as such...I know shellfish, and fish in general I can't tolerate because of Iodine (sea creatures) cranberrys, pork, and even toothpaste because of floride being on the same chemical element scale as iodine made me ill and broke out my chin so bad it has left scarring. All is normal now and clear since I avoid iodine. Next step is to remove the mercury fillings, like 12 of them!

BTW I am not for or against this > product ...just interested in the answer. > Anjin >> My dad sells dairy equipment and my inlaws are/were dairy farmers so I have a *little* knowledge of cows. Around here, the dairy farmers take their calves away from their mothers so the cows' colostrum would just be sent into the " milk pool " anyway. The calves are then sold to other farmers who raise them (my dad is one) until they are big enough to be bred and thus produce milk, and the cycle continues. The new moms are the " fresh cows " and are milked right away. I am not sure the calves get any more colostrum than the first feeding as soon as they're born. If that's the case, the farmers, if this is the way it's handled anyway, might as well milk the newly fresh cows separately and get the colostrum separately. It sounds to me like that's what New Life is doing. They are letting the calves get the first feeding, then milking the colostrum for sale. Like Anjin, I have no opinions on this matter, I'm just trying to answer from what little knowledge I have of this subject. . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted August 15, 2000 Report Share Posted August 15, 2000 I've been using New Life colostrum by Symbiotics of Sedona, Az. www.synbiotics.com. I believe it's available at most health food stores. This is reputed to be 100% Bovine colostrum from New Zealand pasture fed cows. I pay 29.95 per bottle retailed. 120 capsules, 480 mg. Same price for powder. I've used this for about six months as a part of my protocol. I DO NOT SELL THIS PRODUCT. According to the label, it is low heat pasturized to insure biological activity, and water soluble. Rich Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 16, 2000 Report Share Posted August 16, 2000 Miz Judy, I tried to send you the website last night and my server sent the message over today that he could not find your website.

The cancer patients that have gotten on Immunocal have had great results. This product is not just for Cancer........but almost every disease. It is also considered a nutritional supplement- builds muscle, builds stronger bone and teeth, is your major antioxident, and major detoxifier.

Guest guest Posted August 17, 2000 Report Share Posted August 17, 2000 All of these ailments have alternative solutions have less problematic side effects. Kay Heizer Colostrum Continuation of Colostrum.. This is from the Research studies, on Nature's Immune Booster's. ( That someone sent to Mel and I, in Mondays postal-mail. And that we said we would gladly read..and pass onto others some of the information. However at this time we are not taking it. And doubtful if we ever do. But will consider looking into it further. My questions are at the bottom of this page for anyone that will like to share on or off the site. Heart Disease, says that the immune factors in Colostrum could also play the important role in helping us fight the war against heart disease., For one it could be one hidden cause of arteriosclerosis and cardiovascular disease could be very well be alerted immunity. By a report from the American College Cardiology, it was found that a common type of Chlamydia bacteria's was associated with arterial plaque formation in nearly 80 % of patients with heart disease. In the New England Journal of Medicine article, it was found that heart disease was the result of immune sensitization to cardiac antigents. And putting it mildly is that when the heart is damaged, out immune systems begin creating antibodies that can cause a great deal of harm. Colostrum can help this with the ability to tone down the immune system's attack, to an already damaged heart..by revitalizing the immune system..and this product can regenerate the heart muscle. Autoimmune Diseases.. These are commonly the most server allergic reactions to us humans, known as autoimmune diseases..disorders are, multiple sclerosis, rheumatoid arthritis, 's disease, thyroiditis, chrohn's disease, vacuities, and lupus, and are characterized by damage being done to the body by its own immune system..etc.. Cancer.. The benefits are to the immune system and the boosters of colostrum. There is some posting of books by Rosenberg ' Quiet Strides in the War of Cancer', 1985.. The researcher says that the Lactoferrin and lactabumin in colostrum have both been found to kill certain cancer cells. In addition, if cancer is initiated by virus, colostrum could very well be a break through to prevent the disease . Etc. Yeast Infections..known as Candida Albicans..these irritate mucous surfaces, as well as moist skin,,and using the product can help fight this known yeast problems. In 1990, a report was written in the New York ls of Medicine indicating that Colostrum was effective in controlling and preventing this infection. Diabetes.Scientists have discovered that the incidence of type 1 ( insulin dependent ) diabetes is more likely to occur in a child, who wither receive no colostrum at birth, or are the least to be breast fed for very long. there has been studies by the European Congress of Sports Medicines in w995, and found that during the short term strength training in 9 male athletes, an increase in IGF-1 occurred with colostrum supplementation..so it is suggest this product be good for those with type 1 diabetics, because IGF-1 can help the body use glucose more efficiently. Cancer.. This one subject that this list is really all about.. Cancer research has been going on for some time, we all know this..and Rosenberg's Book, mentioned above has been a great success with helping cancer patients by firtually flooding the body with natural immune cells, along with cytokines, uniquely found that the product Colostrum have been the most researched element in the fighting for cancer. That Lactoferrin and Lactalbumin in colostrum have both also been found to kill certain cancer cells. In addition, if cancer is imitated by viruses, then this product might be one way to prevent the disease in the first place. How is one to use this product..take 1-3 capsules 1/2 hour before or two hours after a meal..or take 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoons of powder in 8 ounces of water or your favored beverage 2 hours after a meal..and for a full effect taken on an empty stomach. This product can also be used on eczema, acne,inflamed gums, or sores..put on directly on the area needing the infection to cure. And can be made into a paste by using water. By this report cows are inspected daily, and must be grade A, Under the USDA..and a safe, clean process collects bovine colostrum within six hours after a calf is born..known as " First Milking " ,,then after it is collected it is filtered, homogenized, and then spray-dried into powder, making it ready to consume for us to use.. First Question.. I also want to know if this is a cell builder, in the sense of the way Immunocal is.? and if there is any really good cell builders other than Immunocal on the market, that is affordable, for the low income people, that have wrote me to ask you.. Hey guy's, thanks for putting your trust in me here. Now here goes and will soon see what will take place. ( My second question is this..is there anything in this data that will tell us if this product is as safe as it sounds? And is there anybody on this list that might me already using this product. By Nature Rich ( Home Care )..the cost by this data is 120ct $27.95..or 3 bottles $71.85 )..Sorry I do not sale it..only have been reading about it..Here is the phone number is anyone is interested. 1-800-599-cure ( 2873 ) And a web-page. http://www.home.care Fax number for orders are 480-443-3386 Address is..HomeCure,Inc P.O.Box 41420 Mesa, Az 85274 Sincerely, One of Your Best Friends, Miz Judy Get HUGE info at http://www.cures for cancer.ws, and post your own links there.

One hour after taking it I went from working full-time with CFS to being completely homebound. 5 months later and I haven't recovered! But that's just me... everyone's different.
