This is an important question since according to statistics,
Americans are quite vulnerable to cancer diseases. Cancer is a disease
that's related to immune system deficiency while Colostrum is well known
for its capability to increase our bodies' immune systems. Cancer cells
are created in body all the time, but our immune systems kill them
before they develop further and become hazardous. The development of
Cancer cells indicate that our immune systems don't do their job
effectively. These Cancer Cells use this opportunity to expand their
invasion in our bodies and spread out of control.
So in order to
fight the Cancer, one should strengthen their defense by boosting the
immune system in the body. Colostrum is one of the treatments to help
boost the immune system. Colostrum contains the antioxidant phytic acid
which prevents iron from reaching and nourishing cancer cells.
Colostrum
contains many bioactive compounds. Some of these beneficial molecules
have been intensively studied for their effects on Cancer Cells growth
and Apoptosis (programmed cell death). Recent study conducted by Sweden
researchers found that:
Alpha Lactalbumin one of the immune in
Colostrum can cause Cancer Cells to commit "suicide". Another study
emphasized the inhibition of cancer cell growth and induced apoptosis by
Interleukin 4, a cytokine found in colostrum. Natural killer cells that
are present in colostrum provide resistance against tumors, however
these cells have thus far shown minimal cytotoxic activity. Other
components of colostrum that can potentially inhibit the process of
carcinogenesis are Tumor Necrosis Factor, Vitamin A, Vitamin D,
proline-rich polypeptide (PRP), and TGF-beta like peptide.
Research
has shown that increased levels of IGF-1 in the plasma are associated
with an increased risk of prostate and breast cancer. However, studies
suggest that the higher levels of this hormone in cancer patients are a
result of cancer cells over-producing the insulin-like growth factors,
not because of an addition of the hormone by an external source.
Although
Colostrum has many benefits to Cancer Patients but it doesn't change
the DNA. Many humans are predisposed to cancer, and many of us have
dormant cancer cells in our body. But however by doing a healthy diet
and consuming nutritional supplements such as Colostrum can discourage
the proliferation of unhealthy cells.
Another interesting study on
Colostrum showed that it produces interferon and peroxidase inside the
body. These two substances are responsible to dramatic recovery of many
cancer patients.
While the most interesting part comes from DEDI
website. According to this site, a group of researchers from DEDI inject
a certain untreatable cancer cells to Cows and then let those Cows
produce Colostrum that contains specific antibody to kill these
untreatable cancer cells. According to them it seemed to work but needed
a deeper research, but when the government through FDA heard about this
information they close down the operation. But I cannot validate the
truth of this story, I leave it to readers to dig more on this
information.
So my conclusion is Colostrum has positive impacts on
Cancer Patients and can be added to existing cancer treatments. Whether
you're suffering from cancer or not, you really should consider to
consume Colostrum on regular basis to gain significant improvements to
your health. If you're not too sure you'd better consult with your
doctor first before taking action.
