A Few Words...
Explaining
How Colostrum
May Be Of Assistance

Crushing fatigue and ‘foggy brain’ are two of the main symptoms reported by sufferers of M.E.,Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and Fibromyalgia. While all of these conditions are extremely debilitating, there is now good news, because help is at hand. Colostrum has been used with considerable success with this group of conditions.

In America, Drs Jacob Teitelbaum and Mark Pellegrino, both of whom are CFS survivors, recommend Colostrum in their clinics. Between them they have successfully treated over 12,000 patients with these conditions.

Colostrum is recommended in their books: ‘Inside Fibromyalgia’ by Dr Mark Pellegrino, in which he notes that Colostrum is one of the daily supplements he personally takes. And is also recommended in the seminal work ‘From Fatigued to Fantastic’ by Dr Jacob Teitelbaum. Both doctors note that they have used Colostrum with their patients to:

  • boost the immune system
  • promote healing
  • improve energy levels
  • increase concentration levels
  • help control the pain
The two doctors ascribe the success of Colostrum to three basic reasons:
  • Colostrum contains a high level of Growth Hormone and IGF-1. Professor Bennett from Portland, Oregon noted that Patients with this group of conditions are deficient in Growth Hormone (Bennett et al 1998). It is possible to rectify this deficiency with GH injections at a cost of around £1000 per month. Colostrum supplementation, however, also raises serum levels of IGF-1, a derivative of GH, at a fraction of the cost, and in a natural way (Mero et al 1997).
  • Colostrum is the only natural supplement to contain the full range of immune factors that the body needs to successfully fight the infections from viruses, bacteria and fungal infections such as Candida. When you are chronically fatigued, your ability to ward off these infections is greatly reduced.
  • Colostrum contains the full range of growth factors that the body requires to heal and repair itself. We know that these are depleted in patients with these conditions. These growth factors, particularly Epithelial Growth Factor, repair permeability in the gut wall (Playford et al 2000), maintain gut integrity and perform a prebiotic function. Many of the problems encountered by patients originate in the gut. If Candida has been diagnosed, another supplement, Lactoferrin, has been found to be useful in this area. It is able to kill the infection while not upsetting beneficial gut bacteria.

Maria's Story


Two years ago Maria’s friends would describe her as: “Lively, outgoing and full of energy.” Unfortunately, in February 2003, after contracting a virus which gave her an upset stomach and severe head and shoulder pains, she went to bed and slept for 24 hours. When she awoke she felt no better. In fact, her problems had only just begun...

“I never felt I really recovered from the virus, I felt very tired and just couldn’t shake off a feeling of constant fatigue,” says Maria. “My whole character changed as I was exhausted and I had severe headaches and muscle pains, concentration and memory problems. I had to take extended sick leave, and my personal life also suffered as a result. I’m a single mum, and my 9 year old son found it hard to understand why mummy was always too tired to play.”

Maria’s GP was sympathetic and conducted a number of blood tests to see whether she suffered from any allergies or food intolerances but it wasn’t until he referred her to a consultant Gastroenterologist, who also had a special interest in fatigue, that she was diagnosed with ME in May 2003. “I was relieved to find out I really did have a medical condition but there was no treatment offered to improve my health. When I researched the condition on the internet, the outlook seemed very bleak. I talked to people via chat rooms on ME support networks, but there was so much negativity and no optimism that one could recover from this condition that I just felt more and more depressed,” she explains.

Maria continued to research treatment options and spent a fortune on supplements including Co-enzyme Q10, Evening primrose oil, Cod liver oil, Ginseng. None of these had any effect and she became increasingly disheartened that she would ever be able to improve her condition. “Having tried just about everything and anything I could to improve my condition, I was at an all time low earlier this year. I had tried to return to work in April 2004 but I just couldn’t cope, and my financial situation was worsening. As the school holidays were approaching, I dreaded how I would cope as some days I couldn’t get out of bed, let alone entertain my energetic son.”

In June this year, Maria read about a lady who felt she had recovered from ME using a dietary supplement called Immunecare Colostrum. Even though she had tried her fair share of supplements, and this story sounded too good to be true, Maria still felt she had to try the supplement for herself. “As a mother, I knew about the immune boosting health benefits that colostrum gives newborns, so I thought this may at least help my body fight back against this disease,” explains Maria.

She continues: “I haven’t changed my diet or lifestyle and have been taking Immunecare Colostrum for 3 months now, and I feel a completely different person. My energy levels have returned to normal and the headaches are gone. I just have a little shoulder and neck pain but that’s all. In August this year I returned to work and I even managed to keep my son entertained during the school holidays!”

“I was so shocked when I was diagnosed with ME, and I found it difficult to find people who had a positive outlook on how to live with this condition and improve it. It may not work for everyone, but in the face adversity Immunecare Colostrum has helped me get my life back to normal.”

Maria Kerr, aged 37 from Lanarkshire

If you would like to increase energy, boost your immune function and improve concentration, then, like Lady Helen Motteux, Jill Dunstan, Lynn Barrow, and many others, – try Immunecare Colostrum.The following advice explains how to get the best from Immunecare Colostrum. You will find that there are basically two methods of taking Immunecare Colostrum to gain maximum benefit.

The first way should be applied if you are sensitive to medications or supplements: On the first day take one capsule, the second take two and so on, adding one capsule per day. This should continue until you reach eight capsules per day. Then drop back down to the maintenance dose of two capsules twice a day. Wherever possible, daily doses should be split into two, at either end of the day i.e. morning and nighttime.

The second way is the quickest way to gain results: Take four capsules twice a day for a week, and then drop back to the maintenance dose of two capsules twice a day. All doses should be taken on an empty stomach with a large glass of tepid water. An empty stomach is defined as either a half hour before food, or at least two hours after food. Immunecare Colostrum can be taken safely even if you have a dairy intolerance; do not take Colostrum if you have a known specific dairy allergy. There are no known Drug, Herb or Vitamin contraindications with Immunecare Colostrum, so it is completely safe to take.

...another product that might interest you...


Where the cause of M.E. / Chronic Fatigue Syndrome may be due to a viral infection, which has led to a post-viral fatigue, people may find that using Immunecare Lactoferrin, alongside Colostrum, is particularly helpful. It is helpful because Lactoferrin is a scientifically proven anti-viral agent.

Designed by nature to specifically work in the gut, Lactoferrin deprives harmful organisms of iron, which stops them reproducing. It has a prebiotic function, in that it does not harm good gut bacteria, and indeed helps to create the right conditions for them to proliferate. It is ideal for use as a better alternative to pharmaceutical antibiotics with all their bad side effects for the gut and health in general.

With regard dosage, one capsule per day as a maintenance dose. When fighting a parasite, increase the dose to one capsule three times a day.
