What are Transfer Factors?
Transfer Factors
are the smallest molecules in colostrum. Every mother who breast-feeds
her infant passes on her own immunity – in fact she passes on all of
the information her immune system has gained during her lifetime. This
process begins with the first milk; the pre-maternal milk called
colostrum. The most valuable of the "immunity weapons" in colostrum are
the smallest molecules called Transfer Factors.
2. What do Transfer Factors do?
Three important functions of transfer factors:
-
-
Increase the intelligence of the immune system
-
Modulate the immune system - and much, much more
1) Boosts the immune system by boosting Natural Killer (NK) cell activity. NK cells are a key part of our body’s defense against infection and sickness. They seek and destroy infected or malignant cells through direct contact. NK cells are especially important in fighting cancer cells, and cells infected by viruses, bacteria and fungi.
2) Raises our immune I.Q. Transfer Factors download a ‘blueprint’ of the mother’s immune system to the recipient. This provides thousands of new ‘photographs’ for our immune system to quickly recognise new threats. They provide accurate information to build a swift attack, cutting down the time it takes to fight infection. They provide immune markers to more quickly guide T cell reactions to an invader.
3) Suppresses an over-active immune system. An out-of-control immune system attacks healthy cells. The suppressor fraction of Transfer Factor dampens down this activity. This fraction of Transfer Factor is particularly effective in helping autoimmune conditions.
Who discovered Transfer Factor?
In
1949, Dr H. Sherwood Lawrence made a very significant discovery. In the
process of studying tuberculosis, which was a major health threat at
the time, he discovered an immune response could be transferred from a
donor to a recipient through an injection of an extract of white blood
cells.
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."
In 1989, two
researchers completed what was to become a patented process for
actually extracting transfer factors from cow colostrum, resulting in a
concentrated form. In 1999, the effectiveness and safety of transfer
factor supplementation was validated by scores of clinical studies
worldwide. Scientists are just beginning to grasp the profound
implications of transfer factor therapy in determining the health of
not only present, but future generations.
Dr Gary Wilson and
Dr Greg Paddock successfully completed a myriad of tests to win USDA
approval for their transfer factor technology. It is this unique,
patented technology that makes it possible to isolate or to separate
transfer factors from cow colostrum. Through this extraction technique,
pure transfer factors can be collected from the cow’s first milk, dried
and then encapsulated for human consumption.
Do Health Professionals work with Transfer Factor?
Yes. There
are already Health Professionals working with Transfer Factor all
around the world, including many renowned surgeons and doctors who
recommend Transfer Factor to all their patients.
Is Transfer Factor protected by Patent?
Yes. US Patent
4,816,563 covers the molecular extraction of Transfer Factor from
colostrum. 4Life Research holds the license for that patent and the
Trademark for the name Transfer Factor.
But what about antibiotics?
Around
the same time as Dr. Lawrence's discovery, the "miracle cure" of
antibiotics came into widespread use and transfer factor research was
pushed aside by many scientists and physicians. But even in the midst
of the antibiotic age, dedicated clinicians persisted, spending an
estimated $40 million on transfer factor research --- and showing
clinical success throughout the world. But are antibiotics now one of
the fading miracles of medicine?
Is Transfer Factor backed by scientific data?
In
the fifty years since Lawrence's pioneering work, more than 3,000
scientific papers have been published, documenting the benefits and
safety of transfer factor’s use. However, until recently, large-scale
commercial production has been impossible. But now, thanks to recently
perfected extraction methods, transfer factor benefits can be available
to all through 4Life Research's patented and patent-pending Transfer
Factor Advanced Formulas.
An introduction to how our immune system works
To
fully appreciate how important our immune system is to our on-going
health, an understanding of NK cells (Natural Killer cells) will help.
Here is a very simplified description.
NK
cells are important soldiers for your immune system and considered to
be the first line of defense against viruses and other pathogens. They
contain granules filled with potent chemicals. Each NK cell binds to
its target and delivers a burst of lethal chemicals to destroy the
invaders.
Additionally, each time NK cells go to work inside
your body they further develop your immune system's memory. In other
words, they are able to react even quicker the next time they recognize
an invader.
Transfer factors contain inducers and suppressors
that help balance the immune system's response to disease. The inducers
are used by the "brain" transfer factors to activate more "combat"
cells into battle against germs and disease when needed ...without
turning against your body.
Why not just supplement with colostrum?
Transfer
Factors are non-allergenic whereas colostrum contains many antibodies,
large milk proteins designed for the calf – primarily casein and
immunoglobulins that can cause allergic reactions to many people. In
other words, Transfer Factor is not species-specific – it is identical
in all mammals.
Colostrum
also contains only random amounts of Transfer Factors, so you would
have to take about 75 times the amount to get the same result. You
would have to take up to 75 capsules of colostrum to equal the power of
just one capsule of Transfer Factor Plus!
How safe is Transfer Factor?
Transfer
factors are natural molecules and have been safely used in supplement
form for many years. Throughout the history of transfer factors use,
there have been no reports of serious adverse reactions, even when
clinically administered in excess or with normal doses given over many
years.
Has Transfer Factor been scientifically validated?
Since
Dr Sherwood Lawrence discovered Transfer Factors in 1949, there have
been over 3,000 scientific studies published on Transfer Factor in the
Medical Literature.
Why hasn’t the pharmaceutical industry jumped on Transfer Factor?
No one company ‘owns’ Transfer Factors and this makes it impossible for any one pharmaceutical company to use Transfer Factor. Pharmaceutical companies tend to be ‘drug’ fixated and a 100% natural product doesn’t fit their mind-set. Nobody ‘owns’ ghinko, Echinacea, Vitamin C, Aloe or Noni – it’s the same thing - Transfer Factor belongs in the public domain. It’s
just that this Company has licensed the rights to the only Patents that
covers the extraction of Transfer Factor from colostrum.
Can anyone take Transfer Factor?
People
of all ages can use transfer factor. Transfer factor was, in fact,
designed by nature for newborns. People wishing to give transfer factor
to infants and children under age 12 should work closely with a medical
professional on deciding what dose to take. Typically, children do well
with doses half that of the adult/label dose. Infants would require
somewhat less. While there is no known toxicity to transfer factor,
picking doses for younger children and infants should be done with
prudence.
Is there research data readily available?
Yes. As we have said, there are over 3,000 published research papers in the medical literature on Transfer Factors. This research is available in books, videos, audios and websites by the hundred. Anyone in the health industry can certainly validate the facts for themselves with minimal effort.
Since
2001, Transfer Factor has featured in the PDR - the Physician's Desk
Reference. This is the official databank that all doctors now use to
access information on approved products.
Can anyone buy Transfer Factor?
Yes
- just order online from this shop and your products will be delivered
directly to your home or office, guaranteed at the best wholesale
prices.
Is it expensive?
Compared
to any other immune boosting and modulating product on the market,
Transfer Factor is extremely cost effective. The 4Life Transfer Factor
products are the "Rolls Royce" of the industry. You may be able to buy
cheaper but you'll find that effectiveness wins every time.
When it comes to your family's health, what's more important? Cheap, or something that can really work?
