The two wanderers approach the large contemporary from opposite directions, thus with one of them moving towards the tail and the other towards the trunk. Deeply moved, both describe from their position what they are seeing. No other person hearing the two wanderers’ tales will be able to guess the elephant’s nature. So, if we only take on one stance, we will never be able to comprehend the whole. We have to set forth, because movement changes the perspective.

Up to the first third of the past century, biestmilch was to be found in the kitchen and was recognised as a cure. Even today, recipes can be found for dishes containing flour made with biestmilch. People who have tried them go wild about them. There is nothing better than baking the plaited bun, for example, with biestmilch. At the beginning of the past century, it was still easy enough to get fresh biestmilch. Today, it has to be declared as a foodstuff and processed accordingly. However, I’ll get to that in a minute. For our ancestors, it was a valuable foodstuff and cure. It was valued and reserved for offspring, the ill, the elderly and ailing children. The knowledge about its potency has become lost to us today. There are now only a few isolated cases of people who bear the knowledge of its distinctiveness within themselves. In our latitudes, many farmers dispose of it as soon as the calf has received its share. WE ARE MAKING THE MISTAKE OF WANTING TO BREAK DOWN THE WHOLE IN ORDER TO UNDERSTAND IT
One discovery that could turn out to be ground-breaking for further research into food and that could initiate a reversal of trend in nutritional science is the observation that all of our cells carry sensors for the molecules of the foods. In this way, food initiates varied communication processes and effects in the organism.

BIESTMILCH
AN ELIXIR IN THE MOST ORIGINAL MEANING OF THE WORD
THE QUALITY OF BIESTMILCH AS A FOODSTUFF OR THE ATTEMPT AT CLARIFICATION In contrast to earlier centuries, biestmilch is defined today as a foodstuff and no longer as milk. Correspondingly, it must be manufactured and declared in line with regulations applicable to foodstuffs, which are defined by the respective health authorities of the countries. In Europe, there is a harmonised codex of rules and standards. The quality criteria applied no longer differ much in the industrial countries of the Western world. The earth has shrunk, even where precautionary measures regarding quality assurance are involved.
One can only understand biestmilch if one comprehends the organism as a regulatory system that, in every moment of our lives, works on maintaining the equilibrium (homeostasis) of the organism. Being in balance means feeling well. Biestmilch increases the sensibility for our own body and helps us to understand our physiology better.
We stumble across two discourses, which unfortunately intermingle where the assessment of the quality of biestmilch is involved. The first one is a quality discourse that relates to the safety of the product. For foodstuffs, generally set hygiene regulations apply, which biestmilch has to fulfil. Hygiene has, however, nothing to do with the second requirement of the product, which relates to the effectiveness. All seals of quality to be found on the market and which various institutes and institutions around the globe award refer to the problem of hygiene and the danger of contamination and can be regarded as a kind of proof that a product is clean and safe.

With biestmilch, the efficiency discourse is currently dominated by the immunoglobulins. This is probably the case because the immunoglobulins – also called antibodies – count among those the general public is mostly aware of out of the many immunmolecules. But more about that later.

First of all, I would like to describe and elaborate why biestmilch is a safe foodstuff. In the case of new products, it is often difficult to differentiate between quality and efficiency and thus judge it extensively. The following lines are to contribute towards making the decision-making process easier for you.

and cooled. The biestmilch is cooled in this container to 4-7°C until it is collected by special trucks. It is not deepfrozen at any point. The first step of processing comprises the extraction of the fat fraction. The liquid biestmilch is pasteurised in line with international standards (72°C for 15 seconds). After that, the liquid is concentrated by means of vaporising. A large proportion of the lactose is extracted from the low-fat colostrum by means of filtration, leaving approximately 5% lactose behind. After this production stage, the biestmilch is spray-dried at a low temperature. Samples are taken from the raw end product, the biestmilch powder and it is tested. The entire production process is optimised such that the result is a safe foodstuff with a unique and consistent combination of bioactive molecules.

AN ELIXIR IN THE MOST ORIGINAL MEANING OF THE WORD
Another aspect to be noted is the fact that biestmilch is a living substance. The quantity of immunoglobulins not only depends on the day of being gathered but also on the state of health and the feed of the cow. The immunoglobulin content can thus vary from batch to batch. With smaller batches, it is far more difficult to adjust the content to achieve consistency from one batch to the next.

Besides the genetic disposition, chronic inflammation processes play a key role in all chronic diseases including cancer. Keeping inflammations under control and preventing them from developing into chronic processes should thus constitute a priority objective if we would like to reduce the risk of suffering from the diseases just named. Biestmilch can make its contribution towards this. After all, it is a substance that is able to modulate inflammatory processes by supporting all systems of the organism that trigger, regulate and control inflammations. The

supersystems of regulation with which biestmilch interacts are the nervous and immune system as well as the endocrine system. On a cell level, biestmilch modulates the inflammatory microenvironment of the cells. Depending on the state of activity of the inflamed cell environment, biestmilch either activates or suppresses this environment and thus promotes the establishment of a new state of equilibrium. All effects I will now touch on are based on the principle of inflammation modulation.

we will find it easier to understand the chronic diseases of our times and the reason why biestmilch would deserve a firm place as a remedy.
As previously mentioned, these diseases are based on a genetic disposition and chronic inflammatory processes. The quality of our food and the amounts we eat are of great significance for our well-being, for our life expectancy and prevention of chronic medical conditions.
STRESS HAS A NEGATIVE IMPACT ON IMMUNITY – DISTURBED IMMUNITY GENERATES STRESS. Besides the phenomenon of diseases of immune regulation, today, acute and chronic states of stress make a significant contribution towards our quality of life suffering. All diseases dominating in our society mostly also have a component dependent on being exposed to stress, because handling stress situations is very exhaustive for the bodily systems involved.
