A healthy and vibrant Immune System is the most important part to being HEALTHY.

Strengthen your Immune System to maintain your Health !

 Why, what does the Immune system do?
Your immune system, when healthy:

detects pathogenic viruses, bacteria and fungi, then destroys them; fights infection; keeps your body clear of cells that no longer serve your purpose; detects and removes dead cells; detects and removes defective, pre-cancerous & cancerous cells.

An immune system that is underfunctioning will allow diseases such as candidiasis (thrush), chronic fatigue and cancer to take over.
An immune system that is overfunctioning will generate conditions such as allergies, asthma, chronic sinus, rheumatism, lupus...etc.
 There are many herbs and nutrients that are reported to improve the immune function.
[Astragalus, Echinacea, Cats Claw, Ginseng, Noni, Shitake, Reishi, Aloe, Turmeric, Garlic, Beta-Carotene, Chlorella, Spirulina, Yoghurt, Vitamin A, Vitamin D, Vitamin E, Vitamin C, Copper, Lithium, Zinc, Selenium, Lactobacillus sp., ...the list is long.]
Whilst these do assist with immune system health, they need the natural factor that instructs your body how to make use of them.
This factor is provided by small amino acid groups, known as "Transfer Factors".
As with everything else in life, our bodies peak at around age 27. From then on our strength declines, our immune system declines, our reproductive system declines, everything declines.
With the stresses of modern life, our bodies are under seige from thousands of new synthetic chemicals, stress, polution, superbugs...

Nature’s Natural State-of-the-Art Immune Fortifier:
Transfer Factor is
Education for your Immune system. Transfer factors

• are natural regulators of your immune system.
  Building up an underfunctioning system and calming an overfunctioning system.
• are stored information that educates your immune system.
• use natural amino acids to store this information. This information is common to all animal species.
• teach your immune system how to use the nutrients that you take.
• improve your own immune system, thereby allowing your body to heal itself.

Transfer Factor is the only nutritional product that a government agency has recommended to be used on patients in hospitals, by doctors.
After ten clinical studies on actual patients, the Russian Ministry of Health (like the FDA in the USA) sent a 32-page report to hospitals and doctors in Russia, encouraging the use of Transfer Factor for patients.

Transfer factor: Long-awaited next step in immunotherapy

Immunotherapy was predicted to be one of the most rapidly expanding areas of medical science in this decade.
Proposed advances in our ability to manipulate the protection offered by the body's own immune system were going to make humans and animals far healthier and were promising to increase both the length and quality of life.
Immune agents were going to be our new defenses against those microorganisms that no longer responded to antibiotics and diseases from allergies to cancer were going to be subdued by this new field.
Slow in coming
To date, however, those advances have been slow in coming. We have not been able to manipulate the body's own defenses as planned and we have few effective immune stimulants.
Positive research data has been piling up concerning the most promising immune agent in years, though, and immunologists may be finally making good on their earlier predictions.
Transfer factor, as this new immune compound is being called, may be the long-awaited "next step" and it may be everything that was promised.
Richard Bennet Ph.D., an infectious disease immunologist writes, "It is our ability to create a really healthy immune system that I think represents the greatest potential gains in health in the world."
It is the immune system, after all, which provides humans and animals with the ability to recognize and remember potentially harmful foreign substances such as bacteria and viruses. The immune system allows us to then respond to these threatening invaders in our systems.
Devastatingly familiar
The consequences of conditions of suppressed or damaged immune systems are devastatingly familiar to veterinarians.
Arab foals with combined immunodeficiency complex and older horses with chronic laminitis due to Cushing's disease-related effects are but two such examples. Respiratory problems in young foals, allergies, skin infections, and hoof wall diseases are other problems that can also be related to immune system dysfunction.
A new agent that would vastly improve immune function in horses would certainly warrant some attention. Transfer factor promises to be this new agent. It is a component of colostrum and is produced to be used as a powder added to the diet.
Structure, function
To understand what this colostral derivative may potentially mean to veterinarians and horses, it is necessary to briefly review the structure and function of the immune system.
The body has two principal immune defense systems: humoral and cellular. B-lymphocytes in the liver, spleen, lymph nodes and bone marrow produce plasma cells that in turn produce antibodies in the gamma globulin fraction. These immunoglobulins can potentially recognize huge numbers of antigens. This is the basis of humoral immunity.
Humoral immunoglobulins are primarily designed to fight bacterial infections. Lymphocytes that populate the thymus become responsible for cellular immunity. These cells produce structures called lymphokines that mediate delayed hypersensitivity or allergic reactions. They are responsible for rejection of transferred foreign tissue and for the recognition and rejection of tumor cells.
The cellular immunity system is responsible for defense against infections due to viruses, fungi and some types of bacteria and cancers. Transfer factor stimulates both portions of the immune system.
In the beginning
In 1949, Dr. H. Sherwood Lawrence, a researcher working on tuberculosis, found that he could transfer immunity between patients using fractionated white blood cells. The key ingredient was a part of the lymphocyte cell, and Lawrence called this component "transfer factor."
This discovery was not actively pursued for nearly 30 years until the late '80s. At that time colostrum and milk were discovered to contain significant amounts of transfer factor. The exact mechanism of action of transfer factor has never been determined but it is now known that transfer factor is a lymphokine. The two most notable lymphokines are interferon and interleukins.
These lymphokines are protein messengers thought to be released by antigen-sensitized lymphocytes. They play a role in macrophage activation, lymphocyte transformation (the process of precursor cells becoming B and T cells), and in cell-mediated immunity. Transfer factor is one of the most potent messengers and has three distinct effects on the immune system.
Recognizes antigens
Transfer factor helps the body recognize antigens.
Dr. M. Metz, a veterinarian consulting for 4LifeResearch, the company which has the patent for extracting transfer factor from colostrum, points out that 200 mg (one capsule) of transfer factor has the potential for recognizing at least 100,000 pathogens. Metz adds that not only can transfer factor be specific for an individual antigen that a lymphocyte is exposed to, but "transfer factor can also stimulate a multivalent response."
In this type of response, transfer factor activates lymphocytes to several strains of an organism.
"This is the really exciting part of transfer factor from a practicing veterinary standpoint," says Metz.
4LifeResearch has found that by exposing cattle to various bacteria and viruses they can produce transfer factor that will stimulate immunity to other related strains of bacteria and viruses that are much more pathogenic to other species.
"The other really exciting aspect of transfer factor," says Metz, "is the time sequence."
Most types of delayed hypersensitivity immunity, such as that seen with vaccine use, take 10 to 14 days to develop. Transfer factor, according to Metz, activates that same immunity in 24 hours!
Natural killer
Transfer factor is also a natural killer cell inductor. These cells are non-specific attack cells that seek out and destroy infected or malignant cells and cells infected by viruses.
Transfer factor increases natural killer cell activity five times over normal rates and it is non-species specific. It is believed that this aspect of transfer factor is related to the significant improvements seen in certain cancer patients that have taken this product. Multiple sclerosis patients have also shown improvements.
Transfer factor in cats, dogs, horses, cows and humans is virtually identical structurally and completely identical functionally. This has helped in the production of this product since cows can produce large quantities of colostrum that is then used for extraction of transfer factor.
A number of companies are producing colostrum and claiming that these products contain transfer factor. While this is true, only 4LifeResearch has the exclusive patent on the process to extract only transfer factor. This process allows for the concentrated and purified production of transfer factor.
Suppresses immune function
Transfer factor is also a suppressor of immune function.
It is paradoxical that the same product can both stimulate and suppress immune function but transfer factor function depends on the specific antigens and the status of the immune response. Transfer factor can stimulate the release of T suppressor cells when "down" regulation is necessary due to over activity. Autoimmune diseases, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and allergic reactions are situations where the body's own immune response has over-responded to antigenic stimulation. Transfer factor works in these situations because it can slow down this overactive response.
Obvious advantages
While discussions of the immune system tend to be fairly technical, the practical advantages of a potent new immune stimulating treatment are obvious.
The ability to stimulate the horse's body to attack and destroy bacteria and viruses will reduce the amount and types of antibiotics that may need to be used by veterinarians. It is important to try to retain those antibiotics that are available to veterinarians and to use them in a way that will maintain their effectiveness for as long as possible.
If veterinarians can stimulate a better immune response to respiratory bacteria, skin pathogens and various viruses, then the need to use antibiotics is lessened. If transfer factor can produce such boosts in immunity in 24 hours then the potential for use as a pre-travel protectant, or a post-exposure treatment is tremendous.
Horses suffering from other diseases such as Cushing's disease, laminitis, colitis, cancers ranging from sarcoids to melanomas and reproductive conditions such as chronic metritis, may all benefit from transfer factor use. This product may indeed be the long-awaited next step and the field of immunotherapy may finally fulfill its promise.

What Doctors Have To Say About Transfer Factors

Why I Believe Transfer Factor Builds an Immune System  Better Than Herbal Immune Products Alone Can ~

"Simplistically, transfer factor strengthens the immune system. But that is simplistic and could be used to describe a number of herbal products and other supplements. Let me answer this question,  How does one discuss Transfer Factor™ in terms of structure-function claims?, by first reiterating that transfer factor is not just a single entity. Transfer factor is in fact a complex mixture containing three separate fractions. These three fractions are an INDUCER fraction, and ANTIGEN SPECIFIC fraction, and a SUPPRESSOR fraction. Since our immune systems fight the microbe wars for us, let me use a military analogy to explain these three functions. The inducer fraction serves as the drill Sergeant of basic training whipping the immune system into shape but not telling them who to go out and attack. The antigen specific fraction is like a set of wanted posters identifying critical features of the bad guys. If we were microbes these specific identifiers would be our fingerprints, mug shots, etc. Similarly a whole set of transfer factors are made against a single microbe type. Finally the suppressor fraction is like the politicians who declare an end to the war and demobilize the troops. Without this action a lot of excessive damage is done both in war and within ourselves. When our immune system does not demobilize or overreacts we suffer from autoimmune diseases such as multiple sclerosis and allergies. Unlike most immune supplements, that provide the building blocks for proper immune function, transfer factor is immune intelligence. It is immune information and education that focuses the immune system keeping it on task and effective. This is a whole new concept in immune system strengthening." ~William Hennen, Ph, D.

~ Causes For An Unhealthy Immune System Response ~

"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.

~William Hennen, Ph, D.

"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."

~ Dr. Will Falconer, DVM

Who needs Transfer Factor?, From The Transfer Factor Institute-

Anyone—healthy or diseased, with a few exceptions—benefits from regular transfer factor supplementation. The use of transfer factor has resulted in no reports of serious adverse reactions, even when clinically administered in doses in excess of normal for prolonged periods.

Those with specific ailments also benefit. Numerous studies have shown the effectiveness of transfer factor in eliminating or alleviating symptoms of herpes, chronic fatigue syndrome, Epstein Barr, hepatitis, secondary infection due to AIDS, Candida, cancer and many other disorders. Studies have also shown than continual use provides the greatest benefit with maximum immune activity occurring 24 to 48 hours after initial dosing.
The need for transfer factor as an adjunct to better health stems from the growing awareness that prevention is the best source of treatment. With the increasing risks of antibiotic resistance and significant health threats, such as SARS, the medical community increasingly turns to the inherent concept of vaccines—prevention.
Transfer factors are akin to vaccines. But, rather than expose the patient’s immune system to the actual disease or a deactivated version of the same, transfer factors expose the patient’s immune system to the memory of a health threat—whether foreign or native—and the knowledge of how to best respond to protect itself.

~ Transfer Factor Has Shown Real Life Situation Improvements ~

"I have now completed a retrospective study comparing children in our practice who did not use Transfer Factor; during the same period. 87 children, age 8 months through 9 years, used Transfer Factor. We found 74% less reported illness and 84% less reported use of antibiotics." Dr. Markowitz, M.D is a general pediatrician for more than 20 years in Kennebunk, Maine with a patient base of 4,500 children, is conducting an ongoing retrospective study of patients who are consuming Transfer Factor.

~ David Markowitz, M.D 

 

In a landmark study, Dr. H. Hugh Fudenberg, M.D. found that of 22 Autistic children, 21 improved significantly and 10 were considered to be recovered and mainstreamed in their schools following Transfer Factor treatment. After the treatment was discontinued, some showed regression, but none returned to their prior baseline levels. Dr. Fudenberg used the lymphocyte based Transfer Factor in his treatment, and while these results have been replicated using that treatment protocol, they have not been replicated using the colostrum based treatment. 

 

"Transfer Factor is being heralded as the most exciting discovery in immunology to come along in decades. Taking Transfer Factor is like downloading immune information directly from the cow’s immune system to ours. It gives our immune Army Generals classified information about the invading enemy. It’s completely different from any mineral, vitamin or herb–it’s immune intelligence. As a physician, it is easy to tell my colleagues about this product that is scientifically based and so effective. There are hundreds of scientific studies backing up the scores of personal experiences about Transfer Factor."

So, what exactly 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."

The two most abundant and safest sources of transfer factors come from cow colostrum and egg yolks. 4Life uses these sources in its products to harness both the broad spectrum and targeted immune benefits they provide. Both the cow and the chicken live mainly outside where they eat from the ground, drink from a shared water source, endure all types of weather conditions and contend with all the challenges that come with living in a herd. These open environments leave them exposed to a variety of germs, bacteria and viruses every day, which their immune systems must battle against and then maintain in their memory to keep them healthy throughout their lives. Fortunately, the heroic nature of their immune systems gives them the strength they need to survive. 

 

With Transfer Factor you have the ability to borrow and utilize immune memory from the cow and the chicken so when you come in contact with the same infectious organisms, you have an incredible advantage~ your system is ready to remember, recognize and respond to foreign invaders faster and more aggressively.  4Life uses both the cow and chicken to source polyvalent, or broad-spectrum, transfer factors that provide a wide range of immune support. For targeted support, egg sources are specially farmed to benefit specific body systems. Transfer Factor represents a foundation of health for animals and humans alike. They are rare elements that remain constant, no matter what the source, and can be universally shared to strengthen immunity— to protect and enhance life. 

 

~ Allergic To Dairy or Eggs? ~

Transfer Factor is Non-Allergenic~Transfer Factor is the result of extracting only the immune protecting "molecule" from both the Colostrum and egg yolk protein cells.  Therefore, it is not like eating or drinking dairy, chicken or egg products.  

 

Transfer Factor

Our bodies are designed to be "self-healing". Every day we are faced with threats from our microscopic environment. We may hear about another scary disease, or learn another Virus has "morphed". 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. It educates our Immune System to old and new threats. Transfer factors tell your Immune system where to strike, when to strike, how hard (or not) to strike AND when it's time to back down. Transfer factors are also non-species specific, meaning anyone or any kind of animal can benefit from taking it. Transfer Factor is a cutting-edge immune system booster and modulator. These T-lymphocyte produced lymphokines are the intelligence of the immune system. There are human formulas as well as animal formulas. The livestock stress formula for commercial operation and the canine, feline, and equine formulas for companion animals are a quantum leap forward in maintaining and restoring animal health!     

What is a Transfer Factor? Give it to me simple!

Picture for your self an nice healthy barnyard...that's right! A really healthy, happy barnyard is a pretty stinky dirty place, right? Now add to that insect's carrying disease and all kinds of germs and bacteria, just floating around. Cows and chickens can get sick too, so let's say the cow's or chicken's pick up a "bug".  Maybe it's just a cold "bug", or maybe it's something much worse! The cow's Immune system begins building "Anti-bodies" against that bug, to fight it off and become healthy. The chicken does the same. Now the Momma cow has a calf and the chicken lays an egg. The cow nurses her calf, and the first milk that comes out (called colostrum) is loaded with anti-bodies. Antibodies against that bug we talked about, and countless others that Momma cow has built up an "immunity" to! While the chicken has provided an anti-body rich yolk for her chick to grow on.

Now the brilliant people at the "4Life" company come along, and have found a way to extract only the "Immune MEMORY" from both the Momma cow's colostrum and the chicken's egg yolk! Then they figure out how to put it in a capsule and make it available for all of us to get those strong antibodies into our systems! No matter what the species or what the "threat", Transfer Factors WORK because they're non-species specific.

(Allergic To Dairy or Eggs? Transfer Factor is Non-Allergenic~Transfer Factor is the result of extracting only the immune protecting "molecule" from both the Colostrum and egg yolk protein cells.  Therefore, it is not like eating or drinking dairy, chicken or egg products)

 

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.
