Hello - it's been hard for me to keep up with the mail lately, so I hope this
one hasn't been asked already.

I've been told by a couple of clients that there are now available
bovine-based colostrum pills which various folks are taking as an immune
booster.   A nurse friend of mine told me yesterday that her sister was
taking the colostrum during pregnancy to prevent her from illness.  I'm just
curious - how does one's immune system become stronger if the colostrum is
from a cow?  Is this a joke?
