HYPERCOLOSTRUM

    Hypercolostrum is the term for colostrum which results from the following process:

    A cow is vaccinated against a infectious organism which normally affects humans. An example of such an organism is cryptosporidium, which causes diarrhea in individuals with HIV/AIDS.  After getting the vaccine, the cow's body naturally responds by making antibodies against this organism.  Then, when she gives birth, and makes colostrum, some of the antibodies in the colostrum are pre-made for attacking the organism you vaccinated the cow against. 

    The theory is that by ingesting this hypercolostrum, people infected with the targeted organism can use the cow's antibodies to fight off this pathogen. It is important to note, that gastrointestinal pathogens are the likely targets for this type of treatment. This is because...

   1) Orally ingesting colostrum means that the antibodies are introduced into the   gastrointestinal system, and will be in the highest concentrations there

   2) Most of the antibodies will not make it into the blood stream to affect other organ systems.
