The immune system is mechanism that the body uses to fight off infections. On a daily basis our bodies are attacked by bacteria, viruses, and parasites. With autoimmune disorders, our immune systems even attack our own bodies.

There are many things that can affect the immune system and make us sick, one of which is stress. When the body is stressed, the immune system does not necessarily do what it was intended to do which is keep us healthy. We must first understand that our immune system is very complex; it can be overactive, causing such things as allergies, asthma, eczema, and hives. When the immune system is overactive; it attacks human tissue that it mistakenly identifies as foreign and otherwise non harmful “invaders”. When the immune system is underactive we are susceptible to things like colds and flu, infection, sinusitis, shingles, chronic fatigue, tuberculosis, even HIV and cancer. We must also understand inflammatory disorders such as arthritis, fibromyalgia, irritable bowel, heart disease and crohn’s disease are also related to an unhealthy immune system. Finally, our bodies are also prone to autoimmune diseases such as diabetes, psoriasis, lupus, scleroderma and multiple sclerosis. All of the disorders mentioned above are directly related to an immune system that is not functioning the way it was meant to function.

Colostrum is a proven, effective immune booster and modulator. Research shows that colostrum is one of the most important nutritional supplements available to enhance the immune system. When a woman has a baby the first thing her Doctor suggests for her to do is nurse her baby. The mother’s “first milk” is colostrum. Colostrum sort of “jump starts” her baby’s immune system. Nursing is a natural “easy fix” for infants, however, when we become adults we must now look to supplementation to keep us healthy. As we get older, due to our environmental habits and stress our body weakens its ability to fight off infection and replace worn out tissue. Bovine (cows) colostrum, has been proven to support the immune system as well as promote tissue repair because it contains valuable immune and growth factors. Studies have shown that the bovine colostrum is not species specific; this means that humans, for instance, can benefit from bovine colostrum.

Colostrum helps the immune system by boosting the NK (natural killer) cells. Natural killer cells play a major role in the host rejection of viral infected cells and tumors. They will contain the infections while the immune system is able to generate the antigens that can clear the infection. Patients that become deficient in Natural killer cells have proven to be highly susceptible to the early phases of viral infections. The NK cells also help to keep T cells from over responding. By balancing the T cells you are helping them maintain their role in the body rather than become too numerous and cause harm.

The key to maintaining good health is to boost the immune system thereby boosting the NK cells and creating a balance so your body can function at it’s optimal level when illness threatens. It is our intention to not only maintain our patients’ good structural health but also to educate them on a nutritional level as well. That is why we are passionate about getting the word out regarding the benefits of Colostrum.
