Transfer Factor Molecules And The Immune System

Transfer factors are tiny molecules found in colostrum which provide "immune knowledge" from a mother's immune system to her baby used in recognizing and fighting outside threats. By transferring information from cell to cell, transfer factors serve as "teachers" to the new cells, ensuring a strong immune system capable of surviving, even thriving, in its new environment. There are over 3,000 published papers and 50 years of research on various forms and sources of transfer factors.  These molecules were first discovered in the late 40's by Dr. H. Sherwood Lawrence.
 
Dr. Rob Robertson, MD"I believe Transfer Factor is, without a doubt, the greatest discovery of the century in supporting and modulating the immune system. I believe a strengthened immune system will be the primary way to stay well in the future. This nutrient can affect the immune system like nothing else can. I sincerely believe everyone needs to consume this product. " Dr. Robertson received his medical degree from the University of Louisville School of Medicine in 1974. He served as the Director of Emergency Services at Western Baptist Hospital in Paducah, KY. Transfer Factor Primary Benefits
• Educates, enhances and balances the immune system with the exclusive Tri-Factor Formula
• Boosts NK cell activity a proven 437%
• Includes Cordyvant, a proprietary blend of ingredients such as maitake mushrooms, shiitake mushrooms, cordyceps, and beta-glucan
Dr. Victor Tutelian, MD, MPH - "Transfer Factor is the most promising breakthrough in health care discovered in the past several decades. We are just beginning to explore all of the potential of transfer factors. Neutriceuticals like TF are the wave of the future." 
Dr. Rob Robertson, MD - "Transfer factors are tiny protein molecules that are produced by immune cells called T-cells. It allow 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.
The Ultimate in Immune System Support
Scientifically Studied: 4Life Transfer Factor Plus Tri-Factor Formula was developed by 4Life researchers and scientists in an effort to maximize immune system support. Results of an independent study conducted at the Russian Academy of Medical Science conclusively showed that 4Life Transfer Factor Plus Tri-Factor Formula propelled Natural Killer (NK) cell activity to a remarkable 437 percent above normal immune system response. 
4Life Transfer Factor® products have been recommended by the Russian Federation for use in hospitals and clinics. This historic announcement was a result of ten separate scientific trials and two experimental studies extolling the benefits of 4Life Transfer Factor products.
Drs. Greg B. Wilson, Ph.D. and James B. Daily, Jr., Ph.D. - "Transfer factors are small molecular messengers produced by immune T lymphocytes.  The message they provide is a specific description of an invading pathogen.  Using transfer factors, immune T lymphocytes can transfer the ability to recognize and invading pathogen to previously naïve lymphocytes.  In other words, one T lymphocyte tells another what the enemy looks like so that a coordinated attack can be mounted."  No matter what the immune system needs, 4Life Transfer Factor Plus Tri-Factor Formula delivers powerful support to help you achieve a strong and healthy immune system that knows exactly what to do, when to do it, and how to get it done quickly. It combines the intelligence of 4Life Transfer Factor E-XF™, the intuition of NanoFactor™, and the power of 4Life’s proprietary Cordyvant™ blend to regulate, boost, and balance your immune system. Scientific studies report that this Plus Formula can boost immune cell responsiveness 437 percent above normal immune system response.

4Life Transfer Factor products are featured in the 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008, and 2009 Physicians' Desk Reference For Nonprescription Drugs and Dietary Supplements, the standard supplement guide for physicians that can be found in physician offices, hospitals, and pharmacies throughout the United States. NanoFactor™ extract is 4Life's patent-pending extract of immune system-enhancing nanofractions. It helps “fine-tune” immune system function so that immune cells know when to act, how to act, and when to rest.
In 1949, Dr. H. Sherwood Lawrence made a revolutionary discovery while studying tuberculosis. He determined that an immune response could be transferred from a donor to a recipient by injecting an extract of white blood cells (leukocytes) from a previously infected, now healthy, subject into a newly infected patient. He found that this extract contained a factor capable of transferring immunity. He named the substance "transfer factors." Dr. Lawrence's discovery came in the midst of the discovery and use of antibiotics. Transfer factors  have been used throughout the antibiotic age in different regions of the world such as China, Poland, Italy and others, but never have been available commercially due to the lack of technology.  In the fifty years since Lawrence's pioneering work, an estimated $40,000,000 has been spent on research resulting in over 3,000 published scientific papers documenting the benefits of various forms and sources of transfer factors. The extraction process for transfer factors from egg sources is protected by US patent 6,468,534; and the combining process for cow colostrum and chicken egg yolks is protected by U.S. patent 6,866,868.
First Dietary Supplement Approved for Use by Doctors and Hospitals in Russia
Commenting on this remarkable achievement, David Lisonbee, CEO of 4Life stated, "To my knowledge, this is the first time in the history of this industry that a network marketing company or any other dietary supplement company has had one of its dietary supplements approved for use in hospitals in Russia. The Russian Ministry of Health is the equivalent of the Food and Drug Administration in the United States. Doctors and scientists from Russia have been working jointly with scientists from 4Life for several years to arrive at this accomplishment. This approval establishes a new role of dietary supplements in the Russian health care system."
This product represents 4Life's highest level of immune system support. 4Life® Transfer Factor Plus® Tri-Factor® Formula combines the intelligence of Transfer Factor E-XF™, the intuition of NanoFactor™ extract, and the added support of our Cordyvant™ blend to provide the ultimate in immune system support for your body. The proprietary Cordyvant blend features known immune-supporting ingredients such as maitake and shiitake mushrooms, cordyceps, inositol hexaphosphate, beta glucans, beta sitosterol, and olive leaf extract.
 In the future, the specific immune transfer factors 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 factors, 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 new transfer factors for that specific virus or pathogen.
