Colostrum supplement and flare-up

While reading Grant's ebook I had many deja-vu's. I don't have eczema but a long history of Rheumatoid arthritis that started when I was 25 years old. In the first years I suffered considerable damage to my joints but afterwards on heavy medicin it stabilized probably most due a different eating pattern. Ever since, I am always on the edge of inflammation. So occasionally I have flare-ups.
Usually they are mild, but I remember once that I had a real severe flare that lasted for weeks. I clearly remember the cause, I had just started with colostrum supplement for two or three days, because I believed it would do me good. I had severe pain in my joints. Walking down the stairs was only possible backwards. While normal walking was very painful and only possible on turtle speed. I never told the doctor because I thought it was a bit stupid of myself.
After reading the ebook I was wondering how could have the colostrum supplement had such dramatic effect. I checked on the Internet and found a Journal of Dairy science article called: "Colostrum Milk and its Vitamin A Content”. I'm citing: "A study of the vitamin A concentration of colostral milk has been made. The vitamin A content of the colostrum from barn-fed heifers in the first lactation was found to be more than double the vitamin A content of the colostrum from the same cows in the second lactation."
Apparently the first milk a new-born calf gets has way more vitamin A then regular milk. In addition to the vitamin A, the first milk has several other immunity-enhancing substances that quickly makes the calf resistant to the evil outside world.
I still don't get it completely why my response on colostrum was that severe but I hope that when you have an autoimmune condition and consider to take colostrum you read this first and think twice. Probably the same applies to regular milk to some extent.

I had that once when I was doing some weird rendition of the primal diet that allowed high fat dairy. I only consumed it once because I felt weird drinking something that a baby calf should have been drinking. It's weird that I never felt that way about milk though. I definitely remember not feeling well afterwards. Things have started making more since in hindsight and when I reflect back on my worst health VA is always there. 🙂
