Laurie,
While I agree with you and Dr. Edell about cow colostrum, I have huge
reservations about his site and his views. He is extremely narrow in his
views and tends to trash most anything that is not mainstream. He makes the
case that so many natural choices have not been properly studied, but I take
issue with what he deems to be proper studies. I do not believe that the
double-blind study is the be-all-and-end-all of scientific evaluation or
valid research.
