"I use bovine colostrum successfully for upper respiratory infections of all types, especially for sinusitis, which is a frequent health difficulty in Sedona where I practice. For example, a carpenter age 42, consulting me for the treatment of sinus congestion, which comes on him once annually, responded right away to my prescribing capsules containing bovine colostrum." ~ Lester Adler, MD Sedona, AZ

"A lady in our church had bouts of heavy asthma-like breathing. I put her on colostrum and she noticed how easy her breathing became. She found that she had more energy, continuing her daily schedule with ease and comfort."
~ Michael L. McCann, EdD, ND

"We are so excited about the results we are having from the broad spectrum colostrum. This is truly a wonderful product for those who are fighting to regain health and wholeness. Here are some wonderful healing results we have to share with you.

One young 12-year-old boy in California was suffering from a severe case of mucous colitis and losing weight. He was literally dying. His doctor was planning surgery to remove his colon. His father called me and asked what could be done naturally. I recommended taking double doses of colostrum. After five days, the bleeding from the rectum ceased, and within seven days, he began to have normal bowel movements. From that point on, he has gained 32 pounds of weight. His parents were most delighted to see the changes.

A local minister had uncontrollable diabetes and was taking three insulin injections daily. I shared with him the benefits of colostrum and several months later he came back to me, convinced that something besides injections needed to be done. Within one week the miracle of healing kicked in. He no longer is giving himself insulin injections." ~ Michael L McCann, EdD, ND

Sedona's Dr. Nikki Marie Welch uses colostrum in her practice to treat a variety of conditions, including lowered immune function, chronic infections, autoimmune diseases, colds, flu and allergies. Dr. Welch, who graduated from Duke University and Johns Hopkins University and Johns Hopkins University and did postgraduate work at Yale, is board-certified in internal medicine. "I use a lot of cutting-edge nutritional supplements in my practice - it's part of my commitment to build wellness from within that is my basic mission.

"I prescribe colostrum to about one-third of my patients. The anecdotal evidence shows that patients are thriving after taking colostrum and that their conditions usually improve substantially. I found if we can help the patient get better without standard drugs, we do it. I think the new, cutting-edge nutritional biochemistry is very exciting and that includes colostrum."

Dr Welch addded, "I have learned that colostrum varies in quality depending on the source, and that it is important to source colostrum that has been processed correctly so that it retains its biological potency."

"My own experience is a case in point. I have had a familiar, recurring sinus infection several times in the last few years. I usually treat this with fairly massive doses of vitamin C, garlic and zinc, and, using this treatment, it normally takes me approximately 10 days to return to normal health. The first time I used colostrum, All my symptoms had disappeared with in two days. ~ Michael R Joseph, D.C.

"I've found that colostrum helps with problems that have not or cannot be addressed by any other methods. It has proven very effective in conditions of weakened immunity, or auto-immune conditions such as Epstein-Barr. It's also very helpful in helping patients with toxic conditions. The beauty of it is patients can try it without any fear of negative effects. Because it is such a benign natural substance, there are no problems with possible side effects." ~ Carl Hawkins, D.C.

"Colostrum was the first natural remedy I fully embraced in my practice, and the reason it was easy for me to do so was that there has been a lot of credible research performed on colostrum. In fact, as far as I can tell, there has been more solid clinical research performed on colostrum than on almost any other natural supplement or herbal remedy. This helped me feel a lot more comfortable in trying it myself and prescribing it for my patients." ~ Dr. Donald Henderson M.D

"Several years ago, I had a severe ear infection that was not responding to the antibiotics prescribed, after reading about colostrum I decided to give it a try.Because the infection was so bad I took six capsules. Eight hour later, I took six more. Within hours, I could feel the stuffiness and inflammation subsiding. Twenty-four hours later I could start to hear and I was feeling so much better. My energy and stamina also returned. As a naturopath, I have recommended colostrum to all my patients and am happy to say most are taking it regularly and agree about its benefits to their immune systems." ~ Kate Montgomery N.D.

Abstract
The efficacy of a 2-month treatment with oral colostrum in the prevention of flu episodes compared with antiinfluenza vaccination was evaluated. Groups included healthy subjects without prophylaxis and those receiving both vaccination and colostrum. After 3 months of follow-up, the number of days with flu was 3 times higher in the non-colostrum subjects. The colostrum group had 13 episodes versus 14 in the colostrum + vaccination group, 41 in the group without prophylaxis, and 57 in nontreated subjects. Part 2 of the study had a similar protocol with 65 very high-risk cardiovascular subjects, all of whom had prophylaxis. The incidence of complications and hospital admission was higher in the group that received only a vaccination compared with the colostrum groups. Colostrum, both in healthy subjects and high-risk cardiovascular patients, is at least 3 times more effective than vaccination to prevent flu and is very cost-effective.

“Colostrum contains non-specific inhibitors (PRPs) that inhibit a wide range of respiratory illness, notably influenza viruses. Colostrum is specifically cited for its unique effectiveness against potentially deadly outbreaks of Asian flu viruses that emerge from animal/human mutations.” This was published by Dr. Shortridge, et al, in the Journal of Tropical Pediatrics.

“Colostrum has a virus antibodies PRPs that acts against viral invaders. A wide range of antiviral factors were acknowledged to be present in colostrum.” from a study at the Center for Disease Control in Atlanta, Georgia, published by Dr. E. L. Palmer, et al, in the Journal of Medical Virology

Viralox PRPs can be effective in reducing viral populations.  A 1995 study conducted in the Netherlands, indicated that the immune factors and PRP peptides are one of the best ways to reduce viral levels in the body. It inhibits the viral attack of certain body cells and is able to completely block the infection. [Harmsen, M.C.; Swart, P.J.; Bethune, M.; Pauwels, R.; DeClercq, E.; et al.

David M. Markowitz, M.D., Pediatrician - We have just finished a review of our first 12 months' Pediatric experience with Viralox’s PRPs and the review confirms our initial feelings. 88 children who used PRP daily at the recommended doses for six or more months were compared to the same aged and same sexed children who did not use PRP, and their illness and antibiotic use were compared. We found in this retrospective study a 74% reduction in reported illness and an 84% reduction in antibiotic use. Using any measure, these are very significant results. No untoward reactions were reported. We have started to review the costs of the illness/antibiotic saved by the use of PRP. Initial results indicate over $25,000 saved in the user group in medical care, office visits, and drug costs. Again, these results are of major consequence and show the use of PRPS not only improves the quality of life for the child and his/her family it makes sense economically. Soon we will be approaching Insurance Carriers to support the use of PRPs in our patients. How could Viralox change your child's life?

Richard Bennett, PhD - "The immunity provided by PRPs is long lived and can help all ages who are suffering from a variety of ailments or those who want to stay well. The unfolding events surrounding Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome, (SARS) is yet another painful reminder that we live in a crowded world where continents are only a plane ride away. The SARS epidemic is only one of an ongoing series of new emerging diseases. Our best global and personal strategy is to do all in our power to ensure and support our unique abilities of disease resistance and immunity" Dr. Bennett is an Infectious Disease Microbiologist & Immunologist, who is enjoying retirement from a 21-year career with the University of California where he specialized in food and water quality and safety. He received his Doctorate in Comparative Pathology from the University of California, Davis. He has an extensive background in milk quality and disease control, water resource policy, food safety, public policy of natural resources, etc. He has also served as an advisor for the FDA and USDA.

Kenneth Bock, MD - best selling author on immune system modulation. - "Because PRPs can function as immune system modulators, they can help to restore immune system balance in many types of clinical situations."

Robert Robertson, M.D., - "Viralox’s PRPs is being heralded as the most exciting discovery in immunology to come along in decades. Taking PRPs is like downloading immune information directly from the cow's immune system to ours. It gives our immune army generals' classified information about the invading enemy. It's completely different from any mineral, vitamin or herb; it's immune intelligence. As a physician, it is easy to tell my colleagues about this product that is scientifically based and so effective. There are hundreds of scientific studies backing up the scores of personal experiences about PRPs. I believe PRPs are, without a doubt, the greatest discovery of the century in supporting and modulating the immune system. I believe a strengthened immune system will be the primary way to stay well in the future. This nutrient can affect the immune system like nothing else can. I sincerely believe everyone needs to consume this product." Dr. Robertson is a former Emergency Room Physician. He received his medical degree from the University of Louiseville School of Medicine in 1974. He served as the Director of Emergency Services at Western Baptist Hospital in Paducah, KY.

Duane Townsend, MD - "I'm a cancer physician. I primarily treat female cancer, and certainly encourage my patients who are undergoing chemotherapy and radiation therapy to take PRPs. It helps to modulate the immune system. I have patients with chronic herpes infections who are taking PRPs on a regular basis, and it's reducing the number of outbreaks. I've also had patients with chronic yeast infections, and the PRPs have reduced their infections as well. PRPs are science-based with excellent data from a variety of researchers." Dr. Townsend has had more than 32 years of distinguished experience in the medical field. He pioneered a surgical technique for the treatment of pre-malignant disease of the uterine cervix. In addition, he has authored more than 90 scientific papers in peer review journals as well as over 15 chapters in research books.

Darryl See, MD - "There is no other product in a nutritional substance, or a drug, that has this kind of power and ability to affect our immune system. With the increase of killer viruses, mutated germs, super-resistant germs, and food contaminations, our only hope and defense, must lie within our own immune system." Dr. See received his degree from the University of California, Irvine. Academic appointments include: Assistant/Associate Clinical Professor of Medicine: Investigator, California Collaborative Treatment Group: and Infectious Disease Consultant, Liver Transplantation Service. He has received contracts, grants, and research awards from Pfizer Pharmaceuticals, Upjohn Pharmaceuticals, Roche Molecular Systems, Harvard Biotechnology, National Institutes of Health, Department of Defense, and more

In a 1995 study in Scientific American, researchers concluded that “traditional” disease fighting methods (the vaccine, for example) are just not effective in fighting the HIV virus. Instead, they recommend reducing the viral level in the body and stimulating the body’s natural immune response to have the best chance against the tricky virus.

Rob Robertson, M.D. "AIDS is a viral attack on certain immune system cells, which causes an inability of our immune system to mount a normal response to infectious agents. Thus persons who have AIDS are susceptible to opportunistic infections caused by pathogens ordinarily, in the non-immunodeficient patient, would be benign, or at least not life threatening. PRPs, by its ability to generally stimulate the immune system, and by its particular ability to increase the function of viral fighting Natural Killer Cells, should certainly be strongly considered as an adjuvant to be added to the arsenal of regimens used in the intervention of the progressive course of AIDS."

Dr. William Hennen: "The use of a general PRPs preparation is well justified for preventative use. Much of what we have seen in the cases of AIDS and even the flu is that it is not the primary infection that kills, but rather the secondary, opportunistic infections that destroy the weakened individual." Further studies showed that PRP was not species specific, meaning that PRP in bovine colostrum could be used very effectively to combat a multitude of auto-immune diseases. The growth factors also found in colostrum can then come in and repair any damage already done by an auto-immune disease.  These factors, combined with transforming growth factors A and B, work to stimulate tissue repair in the skin, the myelin sheath and other connective tissues throughout the body, reducing pain and swelling, and increasing mobility and freedom.

Colostrum contains significant amounts of interleukin-10 concentrated in PRPs, a strong inflammation inhibitory agent found significant in reducing inflammation in arthritic joints and injury areas,” wrote Dr. Olle Hernell, from the University of Ulmea, Sweden, in Science magazine.
