Bacteria, viruses, fungi and toxins enter the body in various ways. Whatever their entrance, they circulate through out the body. Most infectious materials lodge in the small intestine or through the blood stream settle at the body's weakest point. If there is a localized surface injury, the signal goes to the immune system to send help to the wound. Whatever their site, colostrum has been proven effective against the greater majority of infectious, or disease-causing agents.
Colostrum also contains certain enzymes known as trypsin and protease inhibitors.
These allow most of it components safe passage through the stomach acids. Once absorbed into the blood stream, colostrums components proceed to rid the body of toxins, viruses, bacteria, and fungi. Each performs its own function but as a whole they neutralize toxins, fight viruses and bacteria. It has been shown to effect cancer, HIV, herpes, chronic fatigue syndrome, Candida albicans and other infections. Lactoferrin plays an important role in our body's defense against disease.
