Transfer Factor
Transfer Factors are millions of tiny peptide molecules that inform and educate the immune system to modulate immune cell activity against a broad spectrum of threats according to your need. They are loosely considered cytokines. They are produced as a normal part of the immune system in all higher animals.

Without transfer factors your immune system would not know how to recognize foreign invaders, launch an immune system response, or have a memory of past threats to use in the future. Transfer factors are responsible for both innate and learned immune system education.

History

Dr. H. Sherwood Lawrence discovered that he could transfer immunity from one individual with an experienced immune system to another individual with an inexperienced immune system by transferring dialyzable leukocytes during the 1940s. He coined the phrase "Transfer Factor".

It has long been known that milk maids survived plagues by drinking colostrum. In fact the experienced immune system information of a mother is transferred to the newborn by transfer factor and nano factor molecules found in breast milk. During the 1990s David Lisonbee, who is president and founder of 4Life Research LLC, discovered and patented the extraction process for pure transfer factor molecules in powder form from colostrum and chicken egg yolks.

The choice of cow colostrum and chicken egg yolks offers some important advantages. These animals are free-ranging and so eat off the ground. They are exposed to foreign invaders that we do not normally come in contact with and have little immunity to. If we were exposed to some of these foreign invaders we would likely get deathly sick. In essence, taking transfer factors from cow colostrum and chicken egg yolks transfers super charged immune system information to our immune system making us better able to fight threats to our health. 

Research

Today there are over 1500 creditable pier reviewed studies and 3000 indirect studies totaling over 40,000,000.00 in estimated research. Some of the most prominate studies were conducted by Dr. Anatoli Vorobiev, Head of Immunology, at the Russian Academy of Medical Science. Interesting highlights from these studies show that transfer factors cross the blood brain barrier, are readily absorbed  in oral form, promote a balanced inflammatory response especially when combined with antioxidants, increase natural killer cell activity against cancer cells, help to normalize white blood cell counts in cancer patients, and increase immunoglobulin antibodies by 73%.

Safety

According to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), Transfer factor are generally recognized as safe. Researchers conducted tests at 200 times the recommended dosage with no adverse events. Unlike nutrients that boost the immune system and can leave the immune system out of balance, transfer factors transfer immunity information in the form of education of the immune system. That results in the stabilization of the immune system up or down according to the need. In other words, transfer factors promote less over-activity and less under-activity in response to threats to your health. Insufficient research exists regarding transfer factor during pregnancy. Transfer factors are not recommended for people with transplants.

The Need

Anti biotic resistant bacteria have left many antibiotics ineffective. The advantage of transferred immunity information from transfer factor is that it safely speeds up recognition, response, and creates a memory of foreign invaders that threaten our health without over reacting. In Russia, they recommend using transfer factor before resorting to antibiotics.

The interplay between environmental and genetic factors contributes to the degeneration of the immune system over time in children and adults. The immune system can become over-active or under-active. Transfer factors help to restore lost balance.
