Herbal Remedies - Newbie with "Transfer Factor" question

Greetings! I'm new to the list. My personal healing journey has been about overcoming fungus. After diet changes, colon cleansing, liver flushing, and using anti-fungals, things are getting better (two years of "getting with the program," as they say.)My question today is about something called "Transfer Factor," an immune system booster made from colostrum. Can anyone tell me about this product? Is there anything to it?

[Guest guest]

Hi Andrew,

 

Welcome to the group! I applaud you for looking to nature for better

health. I must caution you and anyone else to steer clear of

Transfer Factor! Unfortunately, this product is just another MLM

(Multi-Level-Marketing) product that was developed for the purpose

of " transferring " your dollars to their pockets! Please read this

post in its entirety, then you will fully grasp the reason why this

product is not necessary to health. This is an important post as it

directly relates to the human compulsion to look for the " magic

bullet " for optimum health.

 

I have researched this product, so I am not just speaking tongue in

cheek. There is absolutely no reason for anyone to consume this

product!

 

The main focus of this product is the " transfer " of immunological

knowledge to the consumer. Quite frankly, this is bad science!

 

The first problem with this product is that the company refuses to

disclose an ingredient list. Proprietary knowledge is one thing, but

a consumer has a right to know what they are ingesting (and where the

ingredients come from, i.e. animals, minerals, petroleum by-

products,plants, etc.)! I would never consume a product that does

not disclose the ingredients.

 

The second problem is that the " claim to fame " of this product is

a " transfer " of immunity knowledge to the consumer. Unless you are

an infant fresh out of the womb, YOU ALREADY HAVE IMMUNITY

KNOWLEDGE! This company is using the blight of rampant dis-ease

(easily cured by consuming PROPER foods and exercise) and trying to

line their pocketbooks based on false science and the gullibility of

human nature. The following information will hopefully answer any

questions you may have.

 

Mammals are unique in that they are borne with under-developed immune

systems. The fetus is " incubated " in a sterile environment,

receiving filtered nurishment thru the placenta. Once borne, the

infant is exposed to millions of pathogens. This is why it is so

important for mothers to breast feed. The first food of a mammalian

infant should be the colostrum produced by its mother. Colostrum is

a thick, yellowish fluid produced by the breasts during late

pregnancy and the first few days after birth. Colostrum contains

lymphocytes (a type of white blood cell) and immunoglobulins (anti-

bodies), which help protect the baby from infection. The mother's

colostrum is uniquely individual in that it contains the anti-bodies

to pathogens that the mother has directly been exposed to...meaning

that each mother will pass on specific anti-bodies in her colostrum

to her infant. This is a brilliant survival technique as each infant

will be exposed to different pathogens, based on where they live and

the lifestyle they are borne into. If you were not breast-fed, fear

not, your immune system has still developed (this is a natural

progression of an infant), you were just more likely as a baby and on

into childhood to easily get ear infections, colds and the like.

 

Will taking a supplement containing colostrum help me develop more

immunity? NO, IT WILL MORE THAN LIKELY BE TREATED BY YOUR BODY AS A

PATHOGEN AND ULTIMATELY MAKE YOU LESS HEALTHY! The ONLY mammals that

should ingest colostrum are new-borne infants! PERIOD, THAT IS HOW

THE COURSE OF NATURE INTENDS. Please keep reading, I know this is

long, but it answers so many questions!

 

After a few days, the mother's milk converts to " true " milk. This

milk is higher in calories, protein, and minerals and is to support

the tremendous burst of growth in the infant. The immune system is

already on the path to being self-sufficeint and therefore, colostrum

is no longer required. THE IMMEDIATE THREAT OF BIRTH HAS BEEN

OVERCOME! Therefore, the baby can now concentrate on " bulking up "

instead of " surviving birth " !

 

If you can grasp these concepts, then you can understand why an adult

(or anyone past the post-birth stage) does not require colostrum. I

would also like to state that the cross-digestion of immunologic

products (such as humans consuming cow's colostrum, or humans

consuming " un-disclosed DNA " in supposed health products, has not

been studied and may have long term devestating effects that we are

not aware of yet. The human body is very capable of protecting

itself if given the proper diet. I would suggest, instead of

spending your money on all of the " wonder supplements " that are out

there, that you instead, spend your money on the freshest, organic

produce you can find. Once the chemicals of the modern day diet are

eliminated from your body, I am not exagerating, you will think you

have been reborne into a new life! Consuming an all natural diet and

eliminating the chemicals from your body will greatly increase your

feeling of well-being as well as increase your NATURAL immunity!

 

I hope this helps. I have tried to be brief for the sake of the

group. If you want to privately correspond, please send an email.

This is an important subject that should not be overlooked by anyone

interested in natural health because it so fundamentally touches on

the " human " search for the magic bullet. I wish you continued good

health and warm regards, Lori
