WHAT ARE TRANSFER FACTORS?
Transfer Factors are not a drug, vitamin, mineral or herb.
Transfer Factors are tiny molecules that transfer immunity information from one entity to another in an amazing and unprecedented ways, such as between a mother and her infant who she breastfeeds.
Transfer Factors are found in the Immune System of almost all living creatures. They're nature's way of conveying a mother's immune information to her infant through the mother's first milk (for example, colostrums). Transfer Factors continue to educate the immune system throughout life, and they can be shared across species. This means that our immune systems can benefit greatly from transfer factors extracted from animals such as cows and chickens.
These molecules were first discovered in 1949 by Dr. H. Sherwood Lawrence, once lead immunologist at New York University (NYU). During the process of studying tuberculosis, he discovered an immune response could be transferred from a donor to a recipient through an injection of an extract of leukocytes. Further investigation led him to conclude that this immune extract must contain “factors” that made it possible to transfer the donor’s immunity to the recipient. He called these molecules “transfer factors”.
Transfer factors have been studied for decades by scientists from all over the world, and thousands of studies exist.
In 1998, 4Life's innovative Co-founders, David and Bianca Lisonbee, licensed the only existing Transfer Factor™ patent at the time—securing 4Life® exclusive extraction rights and making Transfer Factor accessible and affordable.
WHAT ARE TRANSFER FACTORS?
Scientists have known that smaller molecules than transfer factors existed within colostrums, but they never determined if they had any immune activity. In 2007, David Lisonbee and the 4Life Research and Development team isolated these Nanofractions molecules, tested them, and determined their potential to support the immune system.
Nanofractions are low-weight molecules found in the immune systems of certain mammals and birds. They function as part of the “command and control” network of the immune system.
Transfer factors and Nanofractions transfer immune memory, knowledge, and wisdom from one entity to another. The two most abundant and safest sources for transfer factors and Nanofractions are cow colostrums and chicken egg yolks. Because these molecules aren’t species-specific, we can benefit from the knowledge gained by these animals during their lifetimes by transferring that knowledge from their immune cells to ours.
Transfer Factor teaches our immune system to do 3 things;
RECOGNIZE invaders seeking to threaten your health.
RESPOND to invaders by educating your naive immune cells about a present or potential danger and passing on a plan for action. Boost your immune response or balance it by suppressing an overactive immune system, such as in an autoimmune disorder.
REMEMBER past invasions, allowing your body to more quickly respond to similar health threats, making the duration of an illness shorter.
Unlike most immune supplements that only provide building blocks for proper immune function, transfer factor also provides immune intelligence. It is the immune information and education that helps to focus the immune system, keeping it on task and effective.
Have you ever had chicken pox, mumps or measles...and did you ever get them again?
Have you ever wondered why?
The reason is that you have tiny molecules in your body called Transfer Factors that hold a memory or photograph of that particular virus. The memory was created the first time you got it - just like when you had a vaccination. That virus has probably entered your body many times over the years - but your Transfer Factors have recognized it and immediately told your immune system what it is and how to deal with it. And this is just one of the incredible functions of Transfer Factors.
In a world where stress, pollution, poor diet and new strains of “superbugs” are constantly undermining people’s immune systems, we know that in order to successfully battle these everyday challenges and to achieve overall well-being, continual advancements need to be made to help support immune strength and promote better health for you and your family.
One of the strongest forces in nature for transferring and ensuring good health, Transfer Factors have taken their place in the forefront of nutritional science.
4Life® Transfer Factor™ products include two sources of transfer factors and the newly discovered Nano-Factor to support the immune system's ability to recognize, respond to and remember invaders seeking to threaten health.
WHO BENEFITS FROM TAKING 4LIFE TRANSFER FACTOR PRODUCTS?
What can Transfer Factors do for your Family?
We live in a world where stress, pollution, poor diet and new strains of “super bugs” are constantly undermining people’s immune systems and leading to more frequent or prolonged infection.
People everywhere are looking for solutions to keep their bodies and immune systems operating at peak performance.
Mothers, fathers, teens, young adults, children and seniors from every walk of life are facing more and more challenges to their health. Everyone who needs immune system support or who simply wants to maintain their everyday health, can benefit from taking Transfer Factor products.
Dr D. Markowitz, a pediatrician who practices in Maine has finished a review of his first twelve months’ experience with transfer factor supplementation. The study found that eighty-eight children who used transfer factor isolates daily at the recommended doses for six or more months showed a 74% reduction in reported illness and an 84% reduction in antibiotic use.
Taking Transfer Factor on a daily basis can support our immune system's ability to fight invaders and help us lead healthier lives.
Transfer Factor is “non species specific”. It is safe and suitable for all ages; infants through to elderly, for our pets and all animals.
Transfer Factor is Nature's Answer for today's health challenges.
