Using Raw Bovine Colostrum to Overcome MCAS
When most people think of how to overcome mast cell activation syndrome (MCAS), they don’t think of raw bovine colostrum. Despite this, raw colostrum was absolutely essential in my recovery. Without it, I would still be extremely sick, 20 years later. For this reason, I thank God every day for this miracle milk.
So why would raw colostrum be so helpful for someone who has mast cell activation syndrome (MCAS)? Well, let’s first go over the main problems typically found in MCAS. That will help us understand how raw colostrum can be such a lifesaver.
Key Issues Driving MCAS Symptoms
– Gut microbiome is severely disrupted in MCAS, with an excess of harmful bacteria and yeast
– MCAS patients have a leaky gut, which leads to food sensitivities and an overactive immune response
– Food choices are typically limited and food sensitivities start to pile up, leaving very few options
– Many MCAS patients have re-activated viruses and parasites like protozoa and worms
– Mast cells release an over-abundance of histamine and other inflammatory molecules
– MCAS patients commonly have low levels of regulatory T cells (Tregs)
– Detoxification channels are typically compromised, and antioxidant capacity is low
As you can see, people with mast cell activation syndrome definitely have their backs up against the wall. Unfortunately, most stay there because they choose to use synthetic supplements or pharmaceuticals, hoping their symptoms will one day disappear. As I will explain later, people rarely overcome MCAS unless they remove all synthetics, using only products which modulate mast cells which are derived exclusively from plants.
Want to learn how colostrum can help address these in balances in patients with MCAS? Refer below for some of the ways raw colostrum can help to correct these issues.
How Raw Colostrum May Help MCAS Symptoms
– Raw colostrum may reduce bacterial, fungal adnd viral infections, which aggravate mast cells (1)
– Colostrum may help with leaky gut, which is a key factor in the reactivity cycle seen in MCAS (2)
– Food sensitivities may be reduced due to use of colostrum, which is essential in MCAS recovery (3)
– Colostrum has potential to modulate immune function, calming down the mast cells dramatically (4)
– Detoxification via the bowels/liver can improve with use of colostrum, which is critical to healing (5)
– Raw colostrum contains probiotics and prebiotics which can improve health in various ways (6)
– Colostrum contains growth factors which can help repair damaged tissues, and organs (7)
– Raw bovine colostrum contains a wide variety of macro/micronutrients to help with deficiencies (8)
Sound a little too good to be true? Well, I understand why you would feel that way. The truth is, I have seen colostrum work miracles in my life, and the lives of others suffering from mast cell activation. Though it didn’t solve all of my issues, it definitely was the bridge between extreme sickness and general well-being. As I mentioned before, I don’t know how I would’ve got out of “the corner” without raw colostrum.

Questions about Raw Colostrum and MCAS
Is raw colostrum safe to take for mast cell activation?
Obviously, I cannot vouch for the safety of every raw milk product out there. In my experience though, I have had no issues with raw bovine colostrum. Keep in mind, I have probably drank MORE THAN ANYONE IN THE WORLD, at well over a thousand gallons. Despite this, the risk for contamination always exists with raw milk products, so you must make sure you are working with a trusted source. Just remember, if it ever has a salty taste, throw it away. Otherwise, it is typically fine.
If I am living in a moldy place will the colostrum still be able to work?
That depends on the type of mold and the person’s level of sensitivity. I have seen multiple people who could not handle it when they were living in black mold, but once they were no longer in that situation, there were no problems with it. That being said, I have also seen it help plenty of people who were living in mold. The reality is, you will never know until you try.
What should I expect when first starting raw bovine colostrum for MCAS?
You could experience some relief right away, or it could take a few weeks to notice. It really depends on the person and what else they are taking. In addition, you could experience some level of a cleansing response. This could be anxiety, or other symptoms which mimic your current condition.
The key point to remember is, you can’t overdo it or you will stunt your healing. In my experience, typically the stronger the cleansing reaction, the more infection the person has in their body. Regardless, the person must deal with some level of cleansing response if they want to address the root cause. I found this to be true whether they are using raw colostrum or anything else that attacks infections.
How much colostrum should I drink when battling MCAS?
Typically 4 to 8 ounces is appropriate, but it all depends on the quality of the colostrum. I would personally start off at a lower dose, on an empty stomach, and see how your body reacts. You can always move up from there. Keep in mind, you do not want to drink this every day. It is best to start with it every other day and then increase frequency as your body experiences less and less cleansing response. Though I personally went after it from the beginning, drinking it every day in high doses, I don’t recommend it for everyone!
Can too much colostrum be harmful in your MCAS recovery?
Yes, if you drink too much colostrum without giving yourself enough time off, the cleansing response will be uncomfortable. In addition, it will aggravate the immune response which is the exact opposite of what you want to do. Remember, slow and steady wins the race! In my experience, it is best to find the dose that works for you, and then use it every other day initially. Once you experience no more cleansing response, it may be time to move up dose or frequency.

Will raw colostrum help with my food and environmental sensitivities?
Raw colostrum was very helpful for my food and environmental sensitivities. Within a couple months of drinking it, I could eat nearly anything I wanted without immediate reactions. These included relief from heart palpitations, anxiety attacks, rashes, stomach pain, constipation and more. Eventually my environmental sensitivities got much better over time, and I believe it was due to the effect colostrum had on my leaky gut. I have also seen this in other people, and believe fully in the power of raw colostrum to alleviate food sensitivities amongst other things.
What did raw bovine colostrum do for your MCAS symptoms?
When first starting colostrum , I had been sick for 7+ years with no progress. I had lost over 80 pounds, and was down to only 6 foods I was not reacting to. I was unable to go to the bathroom for two years without an enema. After starting colostrum daily, miraculously, I gained 40 pounds back over the course of four months. In addition, I could eat a wide variety of foods and had no immediate reactions, And was able to go to the bathroom on my own again daily.

Key Points – Using Colostrum for MCAS
Raw colostrum may not be the cure to MCAS, but in my experience, it was definitely essential to my recovery. I like to refer to it as “the bridge” between extreme sickness, and general well-being. Granted there were plenty of other things I needed to do to get better, but without the colostrum, all other attempts would have been futile.
If you are considering using raw bovine colostrum for mast cell activation, remember, slow and steady wins the race. Always keep in mind, it is best to not overdo it with the colostrum. If you do so, your detox system will become backed up which will further irritate your immune system. At the end of the day, if you are making your immune system worse, you are NOT making any lasting progress. The reason being is, the more compromised your immune system is, the easier it will be for infection to persist.
