CAE an AIDs treatment?

greenspun.com : LUSENET : Countryside : One Thread

I heard from a friend that a friend is having her CAE positive goats tested by a research company because her goats are CAE positive, and they are finding that people who drink CAE milk are less likely to get AIDS even if they are high risk. Has anybody else heard of this? I thought it was rather interesting. Apparently they think the two diseases are related. I wonder whether it might help someone who already has the disease.

Yes.... I recently read this too. I need to try to find in my files the article and post it here. I have not read nor heard anything else about this though.

Sounds Very Interesting. I hope this comes true for the goat herders and those afflicted with aids. Sounds like it would save lifes and make farming finally pay off. Best Of Luck !

I mentioned this to my wife who does some healing work and she suggests the goat is producing antibodies to fight her own disease and some are passed into her milk. Made sense to me.

Or as the goat's germs are passed on to the person, they develop antibodies to those germs that also somehow help fight against the other germs?? I must admit, this seems really strange -- I'll be watching with interest to see what the results are.
