Immunity Community

     Back in the day when I was a lad, small diversified farms were the norm.  The family operations had a variety of animals, including cattle, swine, sheep, poultry and bees. Any animals on the farm, including the humans, were exposed to a unique mix of resident bacteria.  Since immunity is based on exposure, many good things happened from this association.  

Any mammal living there would be exposed to the resident bacteria resulting in the production of specific bacterial antibodies in the colostrum milk.  Thus, for example, when a resident cow calves, the immune factors in her colostrum protects the calf from the initial exposure to the bacteria and the  continuous low-level exposure strengthens its immune system.

It takes a couple of weeks of exposure for a cow to build colustral antibodies. If a “springer” cow was brought on the farm right before she calves, her colostrum may not match the resident bacteria and thus her calf would probably not receive the matching immune factors for good health and would be susceptible to infection from the resident bacteria. 

Many  of these farmers milked their usually dual-purpose cows during the summer as another source of income.        This milk was often separated, with the cream being sold and the skim milk fed to other animals on the farm - calves, chickens and swine - thus giving them an immune boost along with the nutrition. Then too, the milk usually went sour from the naturally occurring Lactobacillus bacteria, providing another immune boost.

Chickens produce maternal antibodies (like a cow’s colostrum) in the form of egg-yolk antibodies.  which mimics the function of the colostrum for the calf.  Raw eggs from resident hens are an effective treatment for calf scours since they provide another source of specific antibodies.

While bees are usually not considered livestock, chewing bee’s wax and pollen is reputed to be an effective remedy for allergies.  

Almost all the animals had access to the health benefit of grazing pastures, woodlots, and fence rows to self balance their nutritional and mineral needs.
  Humans on the farm also benefited from an immune boost when they consumed milk and eggs produced on the farm. Farm kids are healthier than city kids!  Children raised in a relatively sterile environment have little, if any, immunity to bacteria e.g. common Staph, Strep, Salmonella, E. coli, etc.

I don’t know if it’s related or not, but my wife’s mother lived most of her life on the farm where she was born.  She started most of her mornings with a couple of beaten up raw eggs — from her own chickens, and a glass of milk — from her own cows.  She lived to be 98!

Even though such small farms are basically a thing of the past, we can still benefit from the natural technology of a by-gone era.  Today, we can duplicate the immune benefits of the old-time “Immunity Community” by the use of: 

• Colostrum whey immune factors 
• Concentrated Egg-yolk antibodies
• Selected strains of Lactobacillus acidophillus
• Selected herbs

- all of which are available in selected ABC+ products
