In doing some research on this topic I came across this post and wondered if anyone else had experience with it.
I have read raw milk has many benefits and this information goes along with the benefits breast fed infants receive in the first 3 days of life.
The information contained in this post appears to be available on other websites away from where I read it and I can provide my link if you pm me.
Sorry to the neuro lymies as I tried my best to break the post up but as written it was difficult to do as much as I would have liked!
"Former Iowa Congressman Berkley Bedell suffered from Lyme Arthritis disease caused by Borrelia burgdorferi, a bacteria from a tick usually found on deer.
Lida Mattman, Ph.D., Professor Emeritus, Department of Biology, Wayne State University, Detroit, Michigan, and author of Cell Wall Deficient Forms: Stealth Pathogens,42 says of ticks:
``No state wants to admit they have any Lyme disease. It is bad for tourist trade and therapy is expensive.
It is better to let the patient disintegrate into a wheel chair or a mental institution.
Actually, this spirochete disease, like the syphilis spirochete disease of the 13th century, has invaded every block of every city in the civilized world.
However, unlike syphilis, this [disease] is spread by mosquito, tick, mite, probably household contact, as well as trans-placentally. Like syphilis this disease is the great imitator, attacking joints, heart, brain, etc.
We looked at spinal fluid, blood, and synovial fluid of over 500 cases who had symptoms of Lyme [arthritis disease], and found the spirochete of the same genus, in most patients.''43
About 10% of Lyme Arthritis victims do not get well by conventional medical treatments, and Congressman Bedell was one of those.
Bedell,2 testifying before Congress, said, "I left Congress because I came down with Lyme [Arthritis] Disease which I contracted while fishing at Quantico Marine Base, and which conventional treatment failed to relieve.
After three series of heavy antibiotics infused into my veins over a period of two years, I finally turned to unconventional treatment. My symptoms disappeared and today I am clearly free of Lyme Disease.
"Let me tell you about that treatment. There is a company in our own state of Iowa, Mr. Chairman, that produces a product for livestock by injecting killed germs into the udder of a cow prior to the time the cow has a calf.
When the cow has the calf they then take the first milk that the cow gives, which is called colostrum, and process it into whey so that it will keep.
"The theory is that the cow will communicate the disease to the unborn calf, and will develop the antibodies, or whatever, in the colostrum to protect the newly-born calf from that disease.
"After I took a teaspoon of this whey every 1-1/2 hours for a few weeks, my symptoms of Lyme [Arthritis Disease] disappeared, and I no longer suffer from that disease.
Because of the publicity of my case, I get frequent phone calls from desperate people who have been unable to get relief from Lyme [Arthritis Disease] with conventional treatment.
It breaks my heart that I cannot tell them about my treatment, because no one has been willing to spend the millions and millions of dollars necessary to get FDA approval to market this special whey.
I can tell you it cured what appeared to be arthritis in my knee in 15 minutes.
"I have talked to a doctor in Wisconsin who was using this material. He claims 80-90% success in treating patients like me for whom conventional treatments have not been effective.
He has now been advised by the Iowa producer that the material will no longer be available because the producer is afraid of the FDA."
It could have been added that the US Department of Agriculture can also act as a strong deterrent, pre-venting crossing the line from animals to humans.
We hope and pray for a much more mature Department of Agriculture and FDA who will grant permission to renew studies on the use of this already well-developed technology.
These products especially prepared for maintaining the health of farm mammals should be easily available for us, too. After all, we're also mammals, and deserve equal consideration!
A Second Possibility is to Bootleg the Treatment
Herb Saunders, the dairy farmer who cured Congress-man Bedell when no licensed physician had been able to do so, was prosecuted on the report of the FDA in St. James, Minnesota by the state prosecuting attorney for practicing medicine without a license.
Saunders had been treating - and curing - humans of a wide variety of diseases for many years, including cancer.
For the most part, he used standard products prepared for treatment of cattle, and, when necessary, he used (dead) microorganisms (such as Borrelia burgdorfi bacteria) passed through the cow's cistern prior to collecting the colostrum.
When all else failed, he'd pass human blood from the sick person through the cow's cistern. Each person's blood contains a wide variety of microorganisms - especially when sick - that are unknown, or unacknowledged by most physicians, but are recog-nized and acknowledged by the cow.
The colostrum thus obtained for the next 10 days was fed back to the sick person just as would be the standardized products made for the use and health of cattle.
According to immune milk pioneer, Herb Struss, Ph.D., colostrum obtained by injecting whole human blood into the cow's cistern does not produce auto-immune reactions to one's own blood. ``It's one of the first things we checked,'' Struss says.
Saunders was selling bovine colostrum ("first milk") as a potential cure for cancer. "Saunders would sell each patient a cow for $2,500, but keep the cow on his farm.
He would inject a sample of each patient's blood into the cow's udder [cistern], and then sell the colostrum to the cow's owner for $35 a bottle.
Saunders told an undercover state agent who posed as a cancer patient that he would 'cough out' his cancer within months if he would take colostrum, [and to] refrain from chemotherapy.
"After two weeks of [court] trial - the longest this small community had ever seen - the result was a hung jury.
The 6-person jury voted 5-1 to convict, but the last holdout, a part-time social studies teacher, apparently couldn't decide whether Saunders was practicing medicine without a license or offering an alternative type of care that is not medical practice."5
Former Congressman Berkley Bedell provided $21,000 for Saunders' expenses. Attorney Calvin Johnson's services were free.
Reported by attorney Calvin Johnson, Herb Saunders' second trial once again resulted in a hung jury, reportedly more hung than the first one, with 3 jurors resisting indictment.
The district attorney dismissed the case on May 30, 1996, and will not retry Saunders again! (Herb Saunders, now deceased, hiked his price up for blood-injected cistern colostrum to $10,000!) Saunders approach seems to be well substantiated by the work of many scientists over a period of more than 40 years.
By this second approach, it's up to you to find dairymen, and to convince them to risk prosecution as they secretly treat you.
If blood is to be drawn from you, it should be injected into the cow's cistern immediately on being drawn from your arm at least once a week for four weeks before the calf is born."
Thanks for your thoughts in advance! Lisa

Just a clarification .... raw milk and colostrum are not the same thing. Raw milk is unpasteurized milk .... colostrum is the thicker milk that comes out the first couple days after a baby is born (no matter what animal).
I took colostrum for a few years, and it seemed to help, though I still got sick. Of course, the kind I was buying wasn't treated with my blood.
It sounds like an interesting possibility.

It would be nice if we could find a way to try this form of therapy.
Maybe some people living near farms with cattle could see if it was possible. I think there are also ways of using chicken eggs to get a similar product.
I think the closest thing one can get over the internet is to try transfer factor.
I'm no biologist, but this brings up questions for me.
I understand that mothers can pass lyme by breastfeeding. Okay, got that. I breast-fed two children and I'm fairly confident that I got lyme after I was done breast-feeding.
I do recall reading that if a child was sick, during the act of breast-feeding the child's germs would be passed to the mother and the mother would create antibodies for it in the breastmilk, and thus pass those antibodies to the child.
I wonder--if a child had lyme and the mother was lyme free--do you think this would work? If it's dependent on being only colostrum then I doubt there are any instances where you would have a lyme-free mother with a lyme infected baby, as colostrum is only secreted for the first few days after birth.
I'm just thinking out loud here, but I just find this very intriguing.
I wonder if this would work for just regular breast milk, say a mother who was still nursing an older toddler who had come down with lyme. And would the mother then come down with lyme...
As for drinking the cow colostrum, you'd also have to look at running the risk of drinking unpastuerized milk, which is not without its risks.
Boy, talk about making me want to go out and buy a cow...
I hope more research is done on this. It sounds so promising.
