Colostrum research excerpts from published medical research
| Drs. Tortora, Funke & Cast; Microbiology colostrum research |
| "Clinical studies show that IgE (immunoglobulin E), found in bovine colostrum, may be responsible for regulating allergic response." |
| Dr. Olle Hernell, University of Ulmea, Sweden; Science |
| "Glycoproteins in bovine colostrum inhibit the attachment of the Helicobactor Pylori bacteria that cause stomach ulcers. Colostrum (also) contains significant amounts of interleukin-10 (a strong inflammation inhibitory agent found significant in reducing inflammation in arthritic joints and injury areas." |
| Dr. Dwyer; New England Journal of Medicine |
| "Immunoglobulin in colostrum has been used to succesfully to treat Thrombocytopenia, Anemia, Neutropenia, Myasthenia Gravis, Guillain-Barre Syndrome, Multiple Sclerosis, Systemic Lupus Arythamatosus, Rheumatoid Arthritis, Bullous Pemphigoid, Kawasaki's Syndrome, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and Crohn's disease, among others." |
| Dr. M. Julius, McGill University, Montreal; Science News, colostrum research |
| "Researchers reported that colostrum stimulates maturation of B Lymphocytes (type of white blood cell) and primes them for production of antibodies, enhances growth and differentiation of white blood cells. Similar activity in cow and human colostrum can also activate microphages." |
| Drs. Staroscik, et.al. Molecular Immunology colostrum research |
"Proline Rich Polypeptide (PRP), in bovine colostrum, has the same ability to regulate activity of the immune system as (do the) hormones of the thymus gland. It activates an underactive immune system, helping it move into action against disease-causing organisms. PRP also suppresses an overactive immune system, such as is often seen in the auto-immune diseases. PRP is highly anti-inflammatory and also appears to act on T-cell precursors to produce helper T-cells and suppresser T-cells." |
| Dr. Michael Julius Of McGill, University, Montreal; Science News |
| "Colostrum and breast milk (from cows and humans) stimulates the newborn's immune system; as yet unidentified proteins speed the maturation of cultured B lymphocytes (type of white blood cell) and prime them for production of antibodies." |
| Dr. Per Brandtzaeg; Annals of the New York Academyof Sciences |
| "Immunoglobulins (found in colostrum) are able to neutralize the most harmful bacteria, viruses, and yeasts." |
| Dr. R. McClead, et.al. ; Pediatrics Research |
| "Immune factors in cow colostrum, when taken orally, are effective against disease- causing- organisms in the intestinal tract. Ingestion of bovine colostrum's immunoglobulins may be a new method of providing passive immunoprotection against a host of gut-associated disease-causing antigens (viral and bacterial)." |
| Dr. L.B. Khazenson; Microbial & Epidemial Immunobiology colostrum research |
| "Studies with human volunteers found that the preservation of the biological activity of IgG (Immunoglobulin), in the digestive secretions of adults receiving bovine colostrum orally, indicates passive enteral (intestinal) immunization for the prevention and treatment of acute intestinal diseases." |
| Drs. Shortridge, et.al.; Journal of Tropical Pediatrics |
| "Colostrum contains Non Specific Inhibitors that inhibit a wide range of respiratory illness, notably Influenza viruses. Colostrum is specifically cited for its unique effectiveness against potentially deadly outbreaks of Asian Flu viruses that emerge from animal/human mutations." |
| Dr. E.L. Palmer, et. al.; Journal of Medical Virology |
| Colostrum has a virus antibody that acts against viral invaders. A wide range of antiviral factors were acknowledged to be present in colostrum. This research was done at the US Government’s Center for Disease Control in Atlanta, Georgia." |
