Colostrum
by Carrie B. Dickerson, B.S., M.S., R.N.

Since time immemorial, mammal mothers, including human mothers, have provided colostrum via their mammary glands for their babies' first meals. Colostrum is secreted for the first 24 hours after the baby's birth. Immune and growth factors are found in perfect combinations and in higher concentrations in colostrum than in any other natural food

The newborn is protected from viruses, bacteria, allergens and toxins by the immune factors in colostrum. Immunity is the body's ability to fight off or resist disease and overcome infection. Colostrum activates or "jump starts" the baby's own immune system. Other ingredients in colostrum stimulate growth, promote rapid healing and work to activate about fifty different processes in the newborn body, all of which are vital to health and growth.

Maintaining optimum health and functioning of the immune system provides, not only a long life, but one that is healthy, active and disease free. Researchers have recently proved that colostrum can provide the same immune boosting benefits for adults as it does for infants. Colostrum can promote healing in adults, can protect us against pollution and can combat stresses, including cigarette smoke, toxins and allergens that weaken our immune function.

Colostrum is, indeed, very good for us, says Dr. Zoltan Rona, M.D., Ontario, Canada, in an article published in the American Journal of Natural Medicine. He states that colostrum may be the best practical protection available against cancer, incurable conditions, and autoimmune diseases, such as arthritis, lupus, fibromyalgea and MS. It is completely natural, free of complications and side effects, and an excellent alternative to hundreds of drugs. If you are concerned about the above diseases, as well as hepatitis, biological warfare, herpes, allergies, and chronic fatigue syndrome, colostrum is definitely worth your consideration.

In Addition, Dr. Rona says colostrum helps fight bacteria, viruses and fungus, helps maintain vitality and good health, has remarkable anti-aging properties and that it helps promote successful weight loss. He says to start slowly and gradually increase the amount you take.

Until World War II, colostrum was widely used for its immune powers, and was used for Rheumatoid Arthritis. Then after the war, sulfa drugs and antibiotics, such as penicillin, overshadowed the natural remedies that had been helping people for centuries. Because those drugs were very quick acting and were viewed as miracle cures and magic pills, the traditional healing methods were almost forgotten.

Now we have begun to realize that those miracle pills promote the body's natural balances. Often drugs contain toxins and have some very dangerous, sometimes deadly, side effects. Antibiotics are not effective in combating harmful and potentially dangerous viruses. They only alleviate some of the symptoms.

Viruses can be killed by the immunoglobulins found naturally in colostrum. Natural remedies work with the body, helping the body to heal itself. The many complicated factors in colostrum work together and in different parts of the body to fight disease, promote healing and to foster overall health.

It is impossible to address each and every one of colostrum's protective and regulatory factors in this article, but we will give a brief synopsis of a very few: (1) immunoglobulins, or antibodies, powerful weapon in the war against viral infections -- IgG, 80-85% of antibody serum: (2) leukocytes (WBCs -- neutrophils and macrophages): (3) lactoferrin, an iron-binding protein that allows the body to better use the iron it receives -- also a powerful antibacterial, antiviral agent -- contains many antibodies and an anti-inflammatory agent -- can inhibit the growth of the HIV virus; (4) Insulin-Like Growth-1 (IGF-1) and Growth Hormone (GH), promote growth -- stimulate regeneration of a shrunken thymus gland, a major organ of the immune system that produces the secretion of T-cells.

The glands of our bodies that produce our hormones become smaller and produce less and less hormones as we age. Deficiencies in the growth hormone (GH) cause the typical signs of aging: sagging skin; decreased muscle mass and bone density; rise in cholesterol levels; weakening cardiovascular function; and decline in mental abilities, including memory.

In 1990, Dr. Daniel Rudman published his landmark study in the New England Journal of Medicine. The study proved that growth hormone (GH) treatment not only stopped the body from aging, but reversed the effects of years of hormone deficiency. Growth hormone, present in colostrum, has been shown to slow the aging process, cause a decrease in overall body fat, an increase in bone density and lean muscle mass (strengthens the heart muscle), thicker and more elastic skin (fewer wrinkles) and in some cases, hair re-growth. The growth hormone in colostrum can help even an aged body to combat infection and prevent the damage that accompanies it. Bovine (cow) colostrum is completely safe for humans and all other mammals, including ill pets.

Safe, clean and effective processes are used to provide us with the many health benefits of Nutrition 2000 Rephe Colostrum. The cattle from which the Rephe colostrum is collected are raised in the northern U.S. where the winters are long and harsh. The small herd size of approximately 80 cows gives a much better variance in the colostrum. Calves born here must get the immune support to survive bitter subzero temperatures, the cold northwest winds and the damp, moist conditions of the barn during the first days of their lives. The colostrum produced by their vigorous mothers must be the richest in immunoglobulins and other important immune and growth factors that make colostrum such a vital, life-giving substance.

The 100 percent USA premium grade Rephe Colostrum is produced from healthy nutritionally supplemented cows -- cattle that are carefully fed a scientifically designed diet that contains the proper balance of pesticide-free legumes and grasses along with minerals and trace minerals to ensure healthy cows and consistently high potency colostrum. The cows are free of synthetic hormones and antibiotics.

Rephe Colostrum is collected during the first 24 hours after the birth of the calf, and only after the calf has had its fill. The high concentration of immune factors in the colostrum begins to drop off after 24 hours. The fat is not removed from the Rephe Colostrum because it contains immunoglobulins and other important immune factors. Rephe Colostrum is processed with minimal heat to ensure its bioavailability and to protect its enzymes.

Rephe Colostrum is a safe, easy-to-take product that is full of immune enhancing, nutrition boosting, and growth promoting ingredients. The growth hormone in Rephe Colostrum makes people look and feel better, have more strength and energy, and have an improved outlook on life. It also affects the neurotransmitters in the brain, improving mood and enhancing mental functions and memory. With Rephe Colostrum, nature has provided for us a perfect health elixir
