Hi Begum,

 

I've covered Transfer factor in several recent articles and I've been

using it in my clinic both on myself and clients.

 

It confers immunity and also seriously increases NK cell activity.

Here's a comparison between two recent incarnations of 4Life Transfer

factor:

and here's a graph that compares two of the earlier incarnations to

other known natural killer cell increasers:

A lot of information is available from studies conducted recently in

Russia and summarised in William Hennen Ph.D.'s revised booklet (2005

version) Enhanced Transfer Factor, part number 84039 for one book,

84040 for a package of five, from 4Life Research Ltd. It doesn't show

up on the 4Life website http://ok.my4life.com but you can call

801-562-3100 and order it. Also, many studies are cited on

http://transferfactorinstitute.com/ and many independent articles

appear there.

 

Worthy of note is that early studies although promising were

inconclusive as to effect, according to later work the purity of the

TF was a problem due to refining problems. That's what led to the new

patented process of refinement.

Hi Duncan

 

Thankk you for info anf URLs. You mentioned " according to later work

the purity of the TF was a problem due to refining problems. " Whic

brand names are now considered pure?

 

thanks

Begum, early work using primitively-refined transfer factors produced

unreliable results. Now, there is only ONE brand of Transfer factor,

due to the patent on the process of its extraction. 4Life Research is

the source.

Transfer Factors And The Immune System

On October 5, 2004, the US Flu vaccine supply was cut in half.

Transfer Factor educates and supports the immune system. A strong,

healthy immune system can protect the body against the flu, colds,

and can cure many diseases.

" Every day we are faced with threats from our microscopic

environment. What you can't see can hurt you! The uniqueness of 4Life

Transfer Factor is that it not only supports, but also educates our

immune system in a way that no other supplement can " --William

Hennen, Ph, D.

Pollution, drug overload and nutrient-poor diets compromise our

immune health. Drugs aren't the answer for immune enhancement. The

immune system is not responsive to drugs for healing. Antibiotics

used to fight infections actually depress the immune system when used

long-term. But natural nutritive forces, like healing foods and

herbal medicines can and do support the immune system. Transfer

factor is the name of the molecules in the immune system that

transfer and establish the immune system in a newborn. These

molecules were first discovered in the late 40's by Dr. H. Sherwood

Lawrence. Transfer factors have been studied for decades by

scientists from all over the world, and thousands of studies exist.

David M. Markowitz, M.D. " Did you know that close to $10 billion was

spent on antibiotics in the U.S. last year? Did you know that many

bacteria have become increasingly resistant to these drugs and that

many drugs are outdated as soon as they are released for use? Have

you seen the many articles in Time and Newsweek (and many medical

journals) about the variety of plagues caused by infectious agents

throughout the world? What can we do to protect ourselves in a safe

and natural way against this ever-increasing threat? Have you had a

child or patient who has required multiple drugs to deal with one or

several ear infections? This is how this threat touches our daily

lives. We now have new HOPE . . . literally, hope in a capsule of

Transfer Factor! "

 

What is Transfer Factor™? Transfer factor is an all natural

substance that works by " teaching " your own immune system to identify

infectious agents that attack your body every day. Rob Robertson, MD -

" Transfer factors are tiny protein molecules that are produced by

immune cells called T-cells. It allows the immune system to remember

conditions for which immunity has already been established. When a

person has been infected, for example, with chicken pox in childhood,

their body develops a memory of that illness, and prevents the person

from becoming re-infected with it later in life. In the future, the

specific immune transfer factor molecule for chicken pox will endow

the immune system with the exact `blueprint' of what chicken pox

looks like, and the body will be able to quickly recognize and

respond to any possible re-infection. Many of these transfer factors -

or " immune memory molecules, " were introduced to us from our

mother's milk or colostrum, which is the richest source of

concentrated transfer factors known to scientists.

Transfer factors in colostrum have the sole purpose of transferring

immunity from the mother to the baby's immature immune system. All

mammals produce transfer factor, but scientists prefer to work with

chicken and normal bovine colostrum. A healthy cow already produces

millions of different transfer factors, but when the cow comes into

contact with a pathogen such as a virus, it produces a new transfer

factor for that specific virus or pathogen. For individuals

challenged by specific pathogens – such as those suffering with

chronic illnesses like Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, supplementation with

the appropriate transfer factor molecule may provide the `missing

link,' thereby allowing the immune system to target and destroy the

offending pathogen, and mitigate the symptoms of the disease. "

Where does Transfer Factor come from? Transfer factors are very

small components naturally found in colostrum, a baby's first milk

from its mother. Through a special, patented (licensed to 4Life)

extraction process, we are now able to collect powerful transfer

factor molecules from the cow's first milk, dry them, and then

encapsulate them for human consumption. This patented process is very

important and sets 4Life™ Transfer Factor™ apart from any other

product. The Transfer Factor™ collected from this process is a

purified extract containing transfer factor molecules.

 

How does Transfer Factor work? Transfer factor provides " immune

data " collected from the mother's own immune system and then passed

on to her baby. The mother transfers valuable immunity information to

be used by the new life to assist in staving off infection and

disease. These powerful immunity agents have been identified and are

called transfer factors. To keep your body healthy, your immune

system must do three very important things each time your body comes

in contact with a pathogen: First it must first recognize the

pathogen as a threat to the body; second, it must then attack and

kill off the threat; and third, it must remember that pathogen so

that your body can rid itself quickly of it the next time it is

attacked.

It is the identification process of the immune system that is so

critical. If your body can identify a pathogen quickly, it can mount

a response against it quickly. By transferring information from cell

to cell, transfer factors serve as " teachers " of new cells, thereby

ensuring a stronger immune system capable of withstanding our often

harsh environment.

Who can take Transfer Factor? 4Life™ patented Transfer Factor™ is

safe and effective for men, women and children of all ages. Through

our unique extraction process, lactose and the large milk proteins

(proteins that cause milk allergies) are removed. 4Life™ Transfer

Factor™ is produced from the highest quality milk-producing herds in

the United States and is strictly controlled to ensure the highest

quality and safety.

Physicians Desk Reference Transfer Factor Cardio and Transfer Factor

Plus are listed in the Physicians Desk Reference for Nonprescription

Drugs and Dietary Supplements (PDR). The PDR has been in use for over

57 years and is recognized as an unbiased reference source for

physicians to research and recommend drugs and supplements. The

Nutritional Supplements Edition of the PDR lists Food and Drug

Administration approved over-the-counter medicines and also includes

a section on dietary supplements, vitamins and herbal remedies. The

Transfer Factor Cardio and Transfer Factor Plus listings appearing on

page 805 include a full description of the two products, a summary of

research, directions for use and contact information for the company.

 

Transfer Factor Plus Offers Unprecedented Immune Boosting Ability

Results of an independent study conclusively demonstrated the ability

of 4Life Transfer Factor Advanced Formula to boost NK cell activity

by 283 percent and of 4Life Transfer Factor Plus Advanced Formula to

propel NK cell activity to a remarkable 437 percent above normal

immune response (a response established as a baseline from this

study). They also showed that 4Life Transfer Factor Classic increased

NK cell activity by 204 percent when tested at a 48-hour activation

time. Further, results from this scientific experiment showed that NK

cells activated with 4Life Transfer Factor Plus Advanced Formula

killed 97 percent of cancerous cells, which exceeded the Interleukin-

2 (IL2) activation kill rate of 88% during the same time period. Dr.

Will Falconer, DVM - " Most of the chronic diseases we commonly see in

animals (and humans) have an immune basis, e.g. diabetes, allergies,

asthma, thyroid disease, inflammatory bowel diseases, repeated ear

infections, cancer, etc. While they can be cured through the careful

use of homeopathy, the road to cure can be a long one -- often years

if the animal has had years of disease. Transfer factors can

significantly shorten the course, by giving a much needed balancing

effect to the immune system. If the immune system is overactive as in

allergies, ear infections, asthma, diabetes, or hypothyroidism,

Transfer Factor can balance this over activity so the system is not

attacking its own organs, overreacting to things that shouldn't be

perceived as a threat. If, conversely, the immune system is under-

active as in mange, parasites, viral infections, or cancer, Transfer

Factor Plus can clearly stimulate it to better meet the challenges it

needs to be alert to. "
