Immunocal/HMS 90 is derived from whole milk, however that is where the relationship to milk ends!  After it leaves the cow (which is antibiotic/steroid free), the milk is processed and refined until it is 90% molecularly similar to human breast milk; thus HMS=Human Milk Serum 90% pure.  Specifically, the product is distilled down until there is almost nothing left but the amino acid ‘cysteine’.  In addition, more than 99% of the lactose is removed, so there is an extremely minimal risk of lactose intolerance.   A person would have to have a specific intolerance to cysteine to react to this product, and cysteine allergies are extremely rare.  One would know if they were cysteine intolerant if they were allergic to their mother’s breast milk.   Cysteine stimulates cellular production of glutathione (GSH).  GSH is the body’s master antioxidant, fuel for the immune system and detoxifier.  It is therefore common for people to experience detoxification symptoms, not to be confused with an allergic reaction.  Detox symptoms may include nausea/vomiting, skin rash, abdonimal cramps, diarrhea, constipation, nasal discharge and headache to name a few of the more common ones.  These symptoms are temporary and actually desirable, even though they may be unpleasant.  Detoxification means that the product is doing what it’s supposed to do.  The severity and longevity of detox symptoms is directly related to the degree and location of toxicity and tissue weakness in the body.   Stay tuned to learn how the cysteine in Immunocal/HMS 90 is superior to other products containing cysteine.
