THE EXPERT

By Geoff Garlinge

Q: I’ve used Colostrum in the past as an energy supplement with a degree of success. Now it seems that the world is really going crazy for Lactoferrin. Please explain what it actually is, the difference between the two and why it’s in such high demand. A: Lactoferrin has undoubtedly been my favourite research “baby” (pardon the pun as you read on) over the past 20years and certainly a truly amazing blessing to both the very young & old as well on a number of levels. It is in my opinion & observation therefore an extremely powerful yet very safe Nutraceutical. Possessing the inherent capability to protect, enrich & majorly restore the lives of many, LACTOFERRIN is well able to deliver tremendous health related advantages from its extensive Natural repertoire. LACTOFFERIN has subsequently deservedly come into its own of late, majorly due to the extremely positive progress in the wonderful field of Nanomedicine – which represents the future that is already well upon us. Unlike always readily available Colostrum, LACTOFERRIN and specifically material of Australian origin is both very difficult & expensive to produce in high volumes. Due to its intrinsic ability to incredibly enhance well being, LACTOFERRIN has become an even more precious commodity and especially more so since being recently approved for infant formula in China. Now to elaborate in some detail in order to answer your questions, please note the following I wrote some years ago. Sometimes the simplest things in life really are the most profound – like the beautiful way a newborn baby enters the world, instantly nourished at mother’s breast. Or the way the same tiny helpless infant survives in the absence of the formation of an immune system to protect it against the barrage of pathogens it finds itself exposed to. Now science is finally unlocking the secrets of this life-giving substance via a huge volume of research that is yielding a rich harvest of positive data and more recently via exciting clinical trials & studies. Chances are you’ve probably never heard of LACTOFERRIN. This is truly an amazing paradox when you consider that this natural wonder has played a crucial part in your survival & overall well-being since the day you were born! Its immune-boosting mechanisms & physiological benefits are second to none. Every breastfed human since the dawn of creation has spent the 1st 1-3 days of life dining on this incredibly potent Nutraceutical & indeed owes their very life to this precious natural gift – yet still most have absolutely no concept of its presence, or the astounding

contribution it offers in facilitating quality of life. Impressive as this kick-off to life certainly is, sustaining & promoting early development is just the tip of the iceberg for this powerful Glyconutrient. LACTOFERRIN is a multi- functional Glycoprotein far superior to its carrier Colostrum (also present in initial breast fluid). LACTOFERRIN amazingly actually activates our DNA to launch cellular immune responses. Found in body orifices & the lining of the throat where it plays an integral role in protecting against viruses & bacterial infection, LACTOFERRIN is in effect our frontline defence mechanism against infection & disease. In healthy robust individuals, it is LACTOFERRIN that provokes & allows the body to mount a powerful response when challenged by invasion via bacterial, viral or carcinogenic activity. LACTOFERRIN actually belongs to the Cytokine family. These are responsible for regulating the human cellular response that activates immunity. A deficit of Cytokines can be the precursor to a suppressed immune system – whereas an excess may trigger an over-active immune response. On several levels LACTOFERRIN regulates (or modulates) the cellular response. Deficiency in LACTOFERRIN levels opens the way to a host of potential physical ailments. As such, it comes as no surprise that those suffering with compromised immune function including Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Ross River Fever & even degenerative diseases such as Cancer, benefit dramatically in terms of quality of life via ongoing daily consumption of LACTOFERRIN. Auto-immune conditions such as Rheumatoid Arthritis & Lupus also respond positively to regular oral intake of LACTOFERRIN due to its ability to regulate the immune system. As a natural anti- inflammatory, LACTOFERRIN also offers real hope to arthritics & fibromyalgia sufferers. For those who are lactose intolerant the news is all good, as LACTOFERRIN is so purified that any potential dairy antigens are essentially eliminated. LACTOFERRIN is of course naturally gluten-free and furthermore extremely Coeliac friendly. Furthermore, LACTOFERRIN is a potent antioxidant as well as a unique Probiotic to aid in maintaining a crucial healthy bacterial balance in the gut – where approximately 80% of the immune system resides. Its unique ability to bind & release iron, make it ideal for anemic individuals to increase iron uptake. Paradoxically, even Haemochromatosis sufferers can benefit via having their iron levels normalized over a period of several months via the amazing iron-modulating mechanism of LACTOFERRIN. Sportspeople understand the manifold

benefits on offer too, with many professional athletes now implementing LACTOFERRIN as a crucial part of their scientifically devised functional & sustainable nutritional programs. A daily dose of LACTOFERRIN you will provide increased energy levels, stronger immunity, protection against bacterial/viral/fungal infection – better digestion & overall glowing health. Thankfully Australia produces the best. With many natural substances touted as Nutraceuticals these days, only a select few are really worthy of the title as is LACTOFERRIN. Whilst indisputably one of God’s truly natural wonders and despite huge advances in science & technology, we are still only beginning to understand LACTOFERRIN’s full potential. Arthritis, cancer, cardiovascular conditions & far more are all responding well in promising studies as well as in a multitude of individuals who safely enjoy the benefits of incorporating LACTOFERRIN in their natural health strategy. Exciting long term studies continue to be conducted at Deakin University in Geelong VIC in the field of NanoMedicine technology. Professor Jagat Kanwar is undoubtedly one of Australia’s finest dedicated minds & along with his teamof researchers is yielding tremendously positive results, even in the Neurodegenerative realm. These truly exemplary endeavours along with their world changing implications are absolutely crucial in relation to discovering and unlocking the secrets of LACTOFERRIN for the future benefit of mankind. This wonderful work will surely aid in the fight against degenerative disease and the quest towards optimal heath & wellbeing. Thank God for Professor Jagat & team and their wonderful commitment to protecting, enriching & saving lives. Another tremendous clinical trial still underway in collaboration with Sydney University employing some 1500 premature & underweight babies suffering with sepsis has the real potential to save a multitude of lives as well. In the final analysis, the seemingly simplest things in life often turn out to be the most profound – if we are just willing to search out, appreciate & embrace God’s amazing Natural treasures. LACTOFERRIN stands out as a precious versatile Nutraceutical to infuse life, health & strength for optimal wellbeing at all stages of life. Genuine Australian quality LACTOFERRIN (if it can be sourced) has now skyrocketed in price since global demand has far outstripped domestic supply. And with the majority of our dairy industry either sold off or shutting down, a turnaround is really not looking imminent in the short term. Having recently lost many of our dairies, a turnaround is not realistically feasible in the short term. Thankfully unlike Colostrumhowever, only small quantities of high grade LACTOFERRIN are necessary to produce dynamic results in both infants & adults as a powerful preventative in adult Natural lifestyle strategy.
