The book opens with the chapter:
"Colostrum: Mother Nature's Immunity Food" and explains
the shift in immune system research over the last decade, and how
substances such as colostrum have come into the limelight.
In the chapter 'Defending the
Fort', the author gives an overview of the body's immune system and
talks about the myriad of processes and mechanisms that the body has
to defend itself.
"communication between cells
is entirely essential to a smooth running immune system.....the
system uses hormone-like signal substances, many of which are found
naturally in colostrum.
The author presents information on
conditions for which colostrum can be used to benefit us: covering
hepatitis, herpes, chronic fatigue syndrome and cancer amongst
others. Citing various clinical studies, the author supports theory
with real evidence and gives specific cases where colostrum has
shown to be beneficial.
The book closes with a chapter on
frequently asked questions, which we found particularly useful. For
example:
- why should adults need colostrum
supplementation?
- What should I consider when
selecting...
- Does it interact with other
drugs or supplements?
- Can I take it whilst pregnant or
nursing?
- Is it safe for kids?
To conclude this informative
booklet, the author talks about diet, nutrition, exercise and
lifestyle factors in maintaining a healthy immune system.

some of the prominent conditions that colostrum has been used to
treat. Amongst these are:
