Allergies and Colostrum

“PRP (in colostrum) inhibits the overproduction of lymphocytes and T-cells and reduces the major symptoms of allergies and autoimmune disease.” (Zoltan Rona, M.D., The American Journal of Natural Medicine)

Allergies in a Nutshell

Basic Immunology, Functions and Disorders of the Immune System, a medical school textbook, describes allergies as hypersensitivity reactions of the immune system. Allergic reactions occur to normally harmless environmental substances known as allergens. Allergies result in an extreme inflammatory response.

A Natural Remedy for Allergies?

Mother Nature wants us to be healthy, and does all she can to fortify and protect the life force within us. One of the main ways that Mother Nature fortifies the life force, is by providing a vast array of healthful ingredients to us in our first meal, colostrum. First comes colostrum, nature’s first supplement, and then comes milk. Colostrum contains components that awaken, stimulate, regulate and maintain all body systems. Of particular interest to allergy sufferers are the cytokines, lymphokines, and proline-rich polypeptides in colostrum that work together to regulate the intensity and duration of immune responses, as well as powerful anti-inflammatory components.

My Personal Experience with Allergies and Colostrum

Eighteen years old, working on the family farm, operating a hay swather, cutting rich green alfalfa, the slats of the swather reel slapping puffs of yellow pollen into the air. My eyes itching and watering, my nose running like a faucet, hay fever at its worst. I continued to suffer from hay fever type allergies for decades. Eventually I developed chronic fatigue, which an allergist said could be allergy related. Of the 70 allergens he tested me for, I was allergic to 65. He gave me shots and prescription antihistamines. It helped some but I continued to suffer. And then one day I tried colostrum. I still remember vividly, although it was 15 years ago, less than two weeks after starting colostrum my allergy symptoms vanished and my energy level exploded. I’ve been virtually allergy free for 15 years. Give colostrum a try. You have a lot to gain and nothing to lose. Colostrum for human use as a supplement is harvested from dairy cows after the calves have been given an amount adequate for their health needs. It has been used as a supplement by millions of people for decades, with no known side effects. Only colostrum harvested early post-calving provides all the health benefits that Mother Nature designed it to do. Highest quality Synertek colostrum harvested within the first six hours post-calving is available online at www.synertekcolostrum.com.

The Science

“PRP from colostrum can work as a regulatory substance of the thymus gland. It has been demonstrated to improve or eliminate symptomatology of both allergies and autoimmune diseases (MS, rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, myasthenia gravis). PRP inhibits the overproduction of lymphocytes and T-cells and reduces the major symptoms of allergies and autoimmune disease….” — Dr. Zoltan Rona, The American Journal of Natural Medicine, March 1998

“The ability to stimulate or suppress the immune response is highly significant. Suppressing the immune system is necessary to prevent the immune system from attacking the body itself, as in the case of autoimmune disease such as rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, MS, Alzheimer’s disease and allergies. Colostrum’s suppressive action may help prevent this type of activity involved in autoimmune diseases.” — Beth Ley, PhD Nutrition

“Colostrum contains a special Proline-Rich-Polypeptide (PRP) that serves as a powerful regulator of the immune system. PRP in colostrum increases the permeability of the skin vessels, which offers a regulatory activity, stimulating or suppressing the immune response.” — Staroscik

Allergies and Colostrum Testimonials

“Dear Synertek,

I’ve been meaning to write you ever since I first started taking your Colostrum Powder, but time just gets away from you. When I first started taking the powder, it was because I had developed allergies (starting at 38 yrs old), and increasing susceptibility to colds/flus after moving to Los Angeles. After 3 years of trying every remedy under the sun to handle the allergy symptoms, and my weakened immune system, (to no avail), I was at a loss. The allergies were seriously taking a toll on me and having a bad effect on my life, in the form of fatigue, facial pain, sneezing, headaches and general lethargy that made me not want to do anything. After some research I heard about colostrum powder. So, I began ordering your powder last year and after a couple of weeks of taking it, I noticed marked relief of the allergy symptoms. As I’ve continued to take it, I’ve experienced a distinct lessening of the allergy symptoms (which is heaven sent!) and I almost never get sick anymore!! Even when my boyfriend gets sick (someone who hardly ever gets sick) I’m able to maintain my health. I find it crazy that now, I’m the one who never gets sick! It is truly amazing and I’m so grateful that you offer such an amazing product that actually does what it says! A few months ago, I ordered the colostrum liquid for a skin issue my boyfriend was having. He had great results with that product as well. And most recently, after a week of vacation in the sun, I developed a fever blister on my lower lip. Once I got home from vacation, I started putting the colostrum liquid on the blister, and, within a day it’s almost gone! I swear, this morning, it was red and puffy (and unsightly) and now you can’t really see it was even there. I am totally amazed at this result and it leaves me thinking this is a miracle product! So much so, that I had to sit down and write to you. Thank you again for offering such a quality product. I would recommend it to anyone having similar health issues. I can honestly say your product has changed my life.”

Sincerely,
Brooke B.
Santa Monica, CA

“Our parents sent us some Synertek Colostrum and we love it! Our children have severe allergies that require prescription medication and the colostrum reduces the allergies to where only over the counter products are needed and only those when the air is particularly bad. Feel free to use our comments. We have been telling everyone about your product anyway. We have been so impressed with it and really feel better since using it. Even though we were taking a colostrum product previously, it just didn’t ‘pack the punch’ yours does!” J. Rule, Barrington, IL

“I have to keep ordering to replace what I keep giving away to show everyone how fabulous your product is. I have at least 6 people now ordering from you and countless others who say they are going to try you. Please rush my order as I am about out AGAIN. Thanks so much. You have literally saved my life due to allergies being almost completely gone.” Janis Gruber, Sachse, TX

“I am 40 years old and have been suffering from blistering headaches and a host of other symptoms from seasonal allergies since childhood. Although it took about four weeks to begin to feel any results, I have to admit that colostrum is the ONLY product that has ever relieved all of my symptoms completely. The summer of 2000 is the first I can remember not having to use products that either don’t work or only provide partial relief in exchange for a whole range of side effects.” James S, Philadelphia, PA

“I scored 65 out of 70 positives on the back-scratch test. My allergy symptoms had internalized years ago, going from hay fever-like symptoms to an almost constant feeling of great fatigue, as though I had been drugged. Some mornings it was almost impossible to even get out of bed. Life was harder than it should have been, ins spite of the fact that I was taking allergy shots and using prescription antihistamines. Two months after taking colostrum my allergy symptoms almost entirely disappeared. I was able to stop the shots I had been taking every other week, one in each arm, and the twice-daily dosage of antihistamines.” - Tom Higham, President and best customer of Synertek, Cheyenne, WY

“I don’t take colostrum daily, but when I get allergy symptoms I pop a few colostrum lozenges, and that works for me.” - Joel Johnson, Cheyenne, WY

“My allergy symptoms almost entirely vanished after taking colostrum. The quality of my life improved dramatically, and that’s not to mention the strength and energy colostrum has given me.” - Vance P., Mayer, AZ

“Before colostrum I was unable to even be in the same house with a dog. I would immediately get an asthma attack. I could not even visit my reverend and his family because they had a dog. I simply could not tolerate being in the same vicinity with a dog, without getting an asthma attack. Now I can visit with my pastor and his family as long as I like, and even pet their dog with no problem. It took about eight weeks of using colostrum to get to that point.” - C.G., AZ

“I’ve been taking Synertek colostrum for a little over a year now. Some days I think that without colostrum I wouldn’t have the energy to keep going and do everything that has to be done. Also I no longer get the terrible sinus headaches the way I used to, not even when a weather front comes in. I can’t believe that anyone would not use colostrum if they knew what it does.” - V.L.H., Laramie, WY

“I already know that many in my family have received positive results from using your product. Our family has been cursed with asthma and allergies and your product has been a huge help in this area.” - Linda Hefferman, Cartier, Ontario
