How to Treat Canine Cancer With Colostrum

Colostrum is produced by new mothers immediately after a birth and contains antibodies, lactoferrin and purine and pyrimidine complexes. These components of colostrum are believed to boost the immune system and reduce digestive disorders and symptoms of arthritis and food allergies in dogs. Although colostrum is considered an immune stimulant and is being researched for cancer treatment, no studies have proved it to be an effective cancer treatment, according to Shawn Messonier, DVM, in his book "Natural Health Bible for Dogs and Cats." However, colostrum has been used as a complementary treatment for autoimmune and inflammatory disorders.
