Children and Colostrum

By Dr. Anthony Kleinsmith

We wanted to see if the colostrum strawberry chewables we had for children were able to lessen the occurrence of an infectious disease in a crowded setting. So we went to a daycare center in Salt Lake City, Utah and worked with a doctor in which we did a placebo-controlled study that would test our hypothesis. The study was stopped due to the following reason.

Hunter Shepherd, a little 18 month old boy.

One of the subjects in the study was Hunter Shepherd who was always sick. Up to this point in his life, he always lived with tubes in his ears in order for his ears to drain due to chronic middle ear infections. Not once had he slept all through the night. Health care costs were not an issue, because Hunter's pediatrician was one of his relatives; however, this pediatrician also had given Hunter just about every antibody available. Unfortunately, Hunter's immune system was weakened due to the overuse and abundance of antibiotics.

Within three days of starting on first-milking colostrum, Hunter was sleeping through the night. Within seven days, the fluid buildup in, and drainage from, his ears, nose and back of throat had ceased. It was a miracle to Hunters parents, but, frankly, its what we expect from a first-milking colostrum formula. It was almost as if he had been given a vaccination against middle ear and other common childrens infections. No wonder some health experts call colostrum the universal vaccine!

More happened than just this though.

This was not the only success story we experienced. When we got two months into the study, parents of children receiving the placebo tablets saw in the children who were receiving the colostrum strawberry chewables that they were healthy and without colds, allergies, the flu and other respiratory infections. These parents also thought children who supposedly were having the colostrum strawberry chewables had longer attention spans, better listening skills and were happier.

The placebo chewables children's parents strongly requested to know which children were on the colostrum chewables and the placebo chewables. After finding out their children were not on the colostrum chewables, they demanded their children receive the colostrum chewables or they would leave the daycare. We did not want to be liable for the daycare losing half their children, so we gave all the children the strawberry colostrum chewables and ended the study.

Colostrum for Children

Even though our study came to an abrupt end, we did see that colostrum had important and valuable immune benefits for children. Usually when people think of colostrum, they think of it only for a baby calf. However, we see more and more how colostrum has an abundance of beneficial health benefits for people; newborns to elderly.

There are researchers in Guatemala City, Guatemala at the Center for Studies of Sensory Impairment, Aging and Metabolism who are looking into how colostrum can protect and help children who are malnourished.

"The growth, development and health conditions for children living under deprived conditions in developing countries are so adverse that immediate public health measures to reduce morbidity and improve nutrition are urgently needed," notes a report in the August 2002 issue of the European Journal of Clinical Nutrition. "Preventing and shortening the course of diarrhoeal episodes, eliminating protozoal colonization, and balancing intestinal microflora would all contribute to these goals. Recent advances in food technology in industrial dairying allow for continuous availability of stabilized bovine colostrum concentrate, both natural and hyperimmunized against specific human pathogens. This is safe for the calves of the producers themselves, for laboratory animals, and generally for humans, with the caveat of the milk-allergic."

Prescription for Healthy Children Children truly benefit from first-milking colostrum. Our strawberry chewables make taking colostrum easy. Dont think of colostrum, however, as simply a nutritional supplement. Rather, think of it as a whole food concentrate, for thats truly what our first-milking colostrum is. If your child has recurrent respiratory illnesses, middle ear infections or too many other common infectious maladies such as colds or flu, you will be so happy to see his or her health improve with our strawberry colostrum chewables.
