History of Transfer Factor™

In 1949, Dr. Sherwood Lawrence was working on the problem of tuberculosis. What he was trying to discover was if any component of the blood could convey a tubercular sensitivity from an exposed recovered donor to a naive recipient. Whole blood transfusions could be used but only between people of the same blood type. Lawrence first separated the blood’s immune cells, the lymphocytes and separated the contents of the cells into various size fractions. What he found was that a fraction of small molecules was able to transfer tuberculin sensitivity to a naive recipient. This is what Dr. Lawrence called Transfer Factor.

The timing of his discovery was affected by the new lucrative technology of antibiotics in 1950, and as a result was overlooked by the medical community of the day. It wasn’t until the early 1990′s when David Lisonbee discovered the existence of Transfer Factor and assembled a team of researchers, doctors and scientist that developed the exclusive extraction process of Transfer Factors from colostrum and egg yolks. The Lisonbee investment of 40 million dollars to secure the development and research of this life changing discovery, now secure the exclusive right to what just may become the greatest natural discovery known to man.
