Colostrum & Autoimmune Disorders

By John Balmier, MS

What is an autoimmune disorder?

The immune system is a collection of specialized cells and chemicals that fight infection-causing agents such as bacteria or viruses. An autoimmune disorder occurs when a person's immune system over-reacts and mistakenly attacks his or her own body tissues. These disorders can affect one organ in the body (organ specific), or multiple organs or systems may be affected (non-organ specific). T

What is Colostrum Good For

What Colostrum can do for me? What Is Colostrum Good For? Why Is It the Most Important Nutrient for the Prevention of Chronic Disease?

Excerpts from the book: ‘Peptide Immunotherap;, COLOSTRUM, A physicians Reference Guide’ By Andrew M. Keech, PhD with contributions from Michail V. Borissenko BS, MS, Steven Bock, MD, Kenneth J. Frank, MD

Holes in our Gut: Altered Immunity & Leaky Gut Syndrome

By Douglas Wyatt, Vital Health News

Holes in our gut or leaky gut syndrome are epidemic in modern society that virtually all of us are subject to. Without intervention it leads to a lifetime of chronic disease and misery. The leaky gut syndrome is the name given to a very common health disorder in which the intestinal lining is more permeable (porous) than normal. The abnormally large spaces present between the cells of the gut wall allow the entry of toxic material into the bloodstream that would, in healthier circumstances, be repelled and eliminated. The gut becomes leaky in the sense that bacteria, fungi, parasites and their toxins, undigested foods such as proteins, nerve and connective tissue, fat and waste normally not absorbed into the bloodstream in the healthy state, pass through a damaged, hyper permeable, porous or “leaky” gut.
