Comments on #18 Colostrum vs Transfer Factor: What's Wiser? - Vital Animal® § The Natural Path

What did I learn ... A stimulated immune system is a balance one. This tells me that regular, small exposures are necessary to keep the immune system balanced, whether it's through natural exposure or using transfer factors. (Or both.) I also would like to speculate as to the reason why so many seem to see results - especially in allergies - with colostrum. I'm wondering if those results are because the animal is also experiencing leaky gut, which in turn allows the larger colostrum molecules to move through the gut (as in the newborn) and therefore gives some benefit. Those without leaky gut probably won't get the same benefit and transfer factors would be a better option.

hi will, my 8.5 year old golden (intact, lyme positive, anemic) girl was just diagnosed with kidney disease ( stage2) probably from the lyme disease. Would your canine immune complex help her ? i was just trying to understand the difference in your canine immune complex VS Transfer Factors Plus for humans, not sure what would be best to help her. love your podcasts - you are amazing, never stop doing all that you do for us and our pets !

Would this be helpful for a naturally raised but chronically itchy dog?

Dr Falconer, thaks for sharing your knowledge. Yes, this info clarified a foggy area in my brain. Much appreciation, Pat Porter

Thanks for this--very informative. Someone recently recommended colostrum for our cat colony we're caring for (some have chronic sniffles that lysine doesn't help, so I don't think it's feline herpes), so I got some, and the sickest animals drank it eagerly. But I think it gave them diarrhea, so I figured it wouldn't work. I think I'll try TF for them, and thanks for the recommendation on where to order it.

Dr. Will, thank you thank you for this so very informative podcast. I have two jars of Colostrum waiting to be used. My dog loves the taste right out of my hand so I will continue to give it to her until these jars are used up and I won’t order any more. Thank you for saving me so much money.
