Overview of website:  This webpage will not focus on the "immune suppressant" drugs used to treat Behcet's Disease or any other immune dysfunction. The goal is to inform anyone dealing with an immune disorder of a new product which helps the body heal itself by modulating the immune system, rather than suppressing it.   This page is devoted to an over-the-counter treatment called Bovine Extract Dietary Supplement (SNF-BV1).   The hope is that patients will try SNF-BV1 before using more powerful drugs.  Immune Suppressant drugs suppress the immune system and the product recommended here modulates the immune system.  It is difficult to modulate a suppressed immune system but not impossible.  We recommend trying to modulate the body and immune system first and if Bovine Extract does not work then the patient can immediately use the standard recommended drugs used for immune disorders like Behcet's Disease.  The reasoning is that immune suppressing drugs stay in the body for a long time and it is more difficult to come off of these drugs while making the transition to treatments like SNF-BV1 and/or LDO-IFNa.  Both SNF-BV1 and IFNa modulate the immune system respond rapidly when immune suppressant drugs are not being used.   We recommend using SNF-BV1 and/or LDO-IFNa depending on the severity of the symptoms. In children and younger adults with immune problems, we have had excellent success using either SNF-BV1 or IFNa as an initial treatment.  If you are already using immune suppressing drugs, please read the section Steroid Wean - Keep it slow on the Oral Interferon Website at Low Dose Oral Interferon Alpha Lozenges (LDO-IFNa).

Introduction

I am not a doctor and I no longer work in the medical profession.  I am offering this information in the hope that others suffering from any immune disease or chronic disorder may benefit from trying an over-the-counter supplement called Bovine Dietary Extract Supplement (SNF-BV1). Several of us have nicknamed this supplement "Cow Power"  because of its impact on our health.

I suffer from Behcet's Disease and it devastated my life for years.  I have tried all types of treatments in an attempt to improve the quality of my life.  Because I am so medication sensitive, they finally surgically implanted a morphine pump and sent me home to live or die in my own way.  The problem is they found they could only use pure Morphine in my implanted pump.  So far, I react to any other pain drug placed in this pump except for the pure morphine.  I have had this pump 10 years now and I have built up a tolerance to the morphine.  Most other drugs or treatments make me worse and seem to actually cause some of the Behcet's symptoms.  In my case, a drug may help one problem but cause multiple drug reactions which requires other drugs and more reactions.  It has been a vicious circle.  Basically, my Behcet's is in remission but now I have damaged my body from high doses of steriods and other drugs including long term use of morphine.  My options are limited and any thing that helps me I consider a gift from God.

Outside of some good benefits from the non-FDA approved Low Dose Oral Interferon Alpha Lozenges (IFNa) that requires a prescription and a Compassionate Personal Use Exemption to import, the SNF-BV1 is the only treatment that has successfully and consistently improved the quality of my life.  For those interested in my experience and how this supplement has helped me, I include several testimonials.  I plan on adding more testimonials as others try this new supplement and find it alleviates symptoms, reduces pain, or improves their overall health.  Personally, I have faith in this supplement's ability to improve the lives of anyone using it daily.  I have tired hundreds of treatments, medications and supplements; not one of these has improve my life like the SNF-BV1 has.  I have seen so many suffer from either living with Behcet's Disease and/or some other chronic disorder.  Young adults and children especially seem to benefit from the SNF-BV1 and IFNa if taken before standard drugs are used to control their disorder.  I have this dream that others may have the oppertunity to try this supplement.  I am sure most would find this supplement as successful as I have in controlling their disease and improving their quality of life.  I am not claiming it is a cure but the SNF-BV1 sure has improved my life.

How Bovine Extract (SNF-BV1) Is Made

This is my impression of what the SNF-BV1 is and how it is made.  First, no cows are hurt.  Young calves are used to produce this supplement. The calves have to be in perfect health and purchased before they are inoculated with a common "vaccine virus" that all cows get.  These calves are inoculated with this vaccine virus to enhance an immune response.  After inoculation, essential immune elements are extracted from their immune system secretions (it does not hurt them - it is absorbed).  These immune elements are then processed and purified.  This mixture is placed in sterile oral dispensers.  It is properly stored until it is shipped.  When the extract arrives, I place the Bovine Extract in my refrigerator when it arrives.  I have also taken the time to place the Extact in individual oral dispensers in my predefined dose and freeze the dispensers until needed for future individual use.  I find this useful for long term storage, travel, etc but that is a personal preference.

How Bovine Extract Works

If you ask how the Bovine Extract works, officially you will hear, "The FDA has reviewed the Notification of Statements of Nutraceutical Support", that Bovine Extract Dietary Supplement promotes health and enhances immunity."  Personally, I know it modulates my immune system while enhancing my overall health and system.  It seems to have a powerful affect on balancing my system and even stopping an all out Behcet's flare including eye inflammation like Uveitis. This is not something the complany recommended but I found I could drop SNF-BV1 into my eyes or on ulcers and this would stop any inflammation without the use of predisone or predforte.

I tried another treatment by the same developer and although it did help me quite a bit, I did not do as well on it as I did on the SNF-BV1.  This treatment was called Low Dose Oral Interferon Alpha Lozenges (LDO-IFNa). From what I understand, the following is the reason I respond so well to the SNF-BV1.  The Bovine Extract or SNF-BV1 is different than the highly purified human interferon because the Bovine Extract contains lactoferrin, lysozyme, secretory leukoprotease inhibitor, mucoglycoproteins, albumin and numerous cytokines.  I believe this "immune soup" modulates my immune system better and is simply more active than a single ingredient.  The Bovine Extract has personally improved my life without any awful side affects.  I list a few of my health improvements below.  For a detailed story, download the testimonials.

How To use Bovine Extract

Each morning I thaw one dispenser.  I take a frozen dispenser and roll it between my palms until thawed and then squirt it in my mouth.  This only takes a few minutes so please be patient.  I try to cover all the tissue in my mouth that I can.  It is absorbed almost immediately.  It has very little taste which is nice.  For those dealing with dry mouth issues, I recommend an over-the-counter product called, "Dry Mouth Relief".  (Dry Mouth Relief can be purchased at several major pharmacy chains like Walgreens or it can be ordered from the same place you order the SNF-BV1.)  Dry Mouth Relief helps promote oral comfort and saliva and it has a slightly sweet taste.  These products can be used together without any adverse affect.  I do not smoke, eat or drink anything 3-5 minutes before and after each dose of SNF-BV1.

What Is The Standard Dose - Is It Safe To Use More

I have had people ask if one dispenser a day is the standard dose or if more is safe.  In my opinion, the answer to both of these questions is "Yes".  One oral dispenser of .5ml a day is the standard dose for most BDers. It is also safe to use more if you feel you need it.  I have tested this supplement several times over the last 5 years.  I was a great Guinea pig. I know several BDers that use 2 oral dispensers of .5ml daily and are happy with the relief from oral ulcers. I fill the oral dispenser so that the black plunger lines up with the .5ml.

I have never been afraid of the Bovine Extract.  I have even used it on leg ulcers and genital, nasal sores and even in my eyes.  There was a time when I took 3 dispensers a day for several months without any adverse affect.  There was another incident where I had a medical procedure which caused a serious reaction.  For a week, I actually took 5 dispensers a day. It not only helped but also pulled me out of a nightmarish situation.  I actually believe it saved my life.  The point being, it is safe and more can be used if you feel your body or situation requires it.  Basically, I believe if you can afford to take more, you should if you get into a dangerous flare.  I have never heard of any reaction or interaction to the Bovine Extract and other prescriptions or supplements.
