Antibody in milk - Question

[isolde]

I am very curious about this & have been giving it a lot of thought.
Apparantly there is a theory, that when you milk your cow, (if you do it by hand) whatever ailment, chronic dis-ease or sickness you have, will go from you, to the cow and she will produce the antibody in her milk, In a round about way helping to heal you. (If you drink the milk) The first time I heard it I did'nt give it much thought and then I got thinking. When my Mother was a young girl, and a milkmaid for a dairy, she was known for her thick, healthy, knee length hair. yet, after she stopped working at the dairy her hair had all sorts of problems including that of thinning right out. According to Grandfather, It just missed the manure. (even though it never really made contact)
Yet, back when I milked the jersey, I had the same bonus- healthy, long, and wavy hair. (again credited to the manure)
Since I have stopped, My hair has thinned horribly, become incredibly dry and now, barely reaches my waist. However as I have recently began milking my dexter, I have noticed a remarkable change in not only the healthier quality of my hair, but it seems to be thickening again. (yay!) In addition I have found that my horrid allergy to bee stings is now only a mild swelling, rather than too swollen to walk, see or use whatever was stung. (I'm a beekeeper so I have plenty of time to get stung and compare results ;D ) Another cause to ponder.
Does anyone know where I can find more info on this?
Or should I just brush it aside as nonesense?
Thanks,

There is a belief and people practicing it that one can cure disease and cancer by having a cow create the antibodies.

Here is an example.

Young couple purchases Dexter cow for family milk. A year or two later the father of one is diagnosed with cancer. They begin searching the internet for alternative therapies to radiation or chemo. They read about treatments that have been developed by a person named Brunetti ( or something like that) involving the colostrum of a cow.

During the weeks preceding calving there is much blood that flows through the udder of a cow and the immune system for the calf is developed. The alternative therapy was based on taking the blood of the human . . . injecting it into the udder of the cow ( as one would a treatment for mastitis) daily during at least a two week period before calving. The cow then builds antibodies and immunity based on that human blood. When the calf is born the colostrum is taken and the human drinks it with the expectation that the colustrum contains antibodies to attack the cancer cells.

I do believe that nature has the cure for lots of things that man knows nothing about.
