I started taking colostrum in capsule form about 1 week ago after a lot of research. I wasn't sick or trying to "treat" anything, but I notice a definite difference in energy level. Also, my son has had a wart on his thumb that has been frozen at the doctor's office twice, but came back both times. I had read that colostrum could be beneficial (after all, warts are caused by a virus). I have applied the colostrum directly to the wart (open capsule and make a paste with water) once a day for the last four days and covered with bandage. I have also given him the contents of one capsule in orange juice just once a day. There is already a huge difference--it's literally disappearing. It's my understanding that a lot of doctors are acknowledging the benefits of colostrum and in these days of over prescribing antibiotics, I think bovine colostrum may be a natural safe alternative.
