AUTO-IMMUNE DISEASE

    Auto-Immune Disease is caused by an immune system that cannot turn itself off. The allergens are the substances that are the trigger to the overactive immune response.

    Auto-Immune Disease is somewhat of a mystery to most medical doctors and the recommended treatment has been to give relief for the symptoms. The problem has been on finding out how to turn off the immune response that has been the cause of the damage (a system that keeps attacking itself).

    Leaky Gut Syndrome (see article) has been associated with this disorder, and to treat the symptoms associated with this response is just symptom suppression and nothing more then treating the symptoms rather then the cause.

    Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Rheumatoid Arthritis, Asthma, Multiple Sclerosis, Fibromyalgia, Vasculitis, Crohn’s Disease, Addison’s Disease, Lupus, Thyroiditis, are only some of the Auto-Immune disorders that are all treated very effectively when a leaky gut is healed.

    A leaky gut enables the absorption of larger molecules back into our bloodstream. The immune system doesn’t recognize these products and sees them as the antigens (invaders) and begins to make antibodies against these supposed invaders. Therefore, foods that were previously harmless have now triggered an allergic response, however, because the T-cell mechanism which has been damaged by the leaky gut it is not able to make the necessary suppresser cells to shut the immune response off and you get sustained injury to the surrounding tissue due to the continuous attack of the antibodies.

    In Poland in 1983, a protein called Polyprotein-rich Peptide (PRP) was found in colostrum (first mothers milking). This protein (PRP) was able to stimulate T-cell precusors and help the necessary helper T-cells to function normally. This ability to promote these cells were even more impressive in the fact that this PRP had the ability to communicate that there was a need for the T suppresser cells which could "turn off" the immune response which could stop the attack on the body tissue.

    The importance of this discovery was that PRP was not species specific, that is to say that bovine colostrum, which is ten times more potent, could be used to combat the number of auto immune diseases.

    Colostrum, it was found, could also repair the damage done by the auto-immune response because these immunoglobins could also trigger the growth hormone and the IgF-1 factors needed for all connective tissue repair as well as the A and B growth factors, everything needed for skin, organ tissue regeneration, nerve repair (myelin sheath), and connective tissue, which will eventually lead to decreased pain and increased mobility for the patient as well as an improved emotional state of mind.

    We have also found that allergic reactions that people have suffered from for years are decreased quite a bit, if not completely eliminated when the gut is sealed up and repaired along with a rebooting of the immune system.
