Transfer Factor Helps Retrain The Immune System In Humans and Pets

The use of transfer factor represents one of the most exciting advances in immune system health. Transfer Factor helps retrain the immune system in humans and pets to recognize specific viruses or bacteria.

We all have immune systems that need support!

The use of Transfer Factor represents one of the most exciting advances in immune system health.
Transfer Factor is based on the theory that key immune information can be transferred from cell to cell.
These cells then teach our immune system to recognize specific viruses or bacteria. This is particularly
exciting given the therapeutic role transfer factors may play in activating and enhancing immunity to
people and pets suffering from chronic illness. This theory has been the subject of intense research for more than fifty years, producing a wide body of knowledge about transfer factor’s contribution to immune health.

Immunity through Memory

The immune system’s job is to recognize potentially harmful invaders, called pathogens, and then to
destroy or neutralize them. If our bodies are able to immediately recognize a pathogen, the individual is
able to effectively defend against viral, bacterial, fungal, and other diseases. Transfer factor molecules
are the key to the immune system’s memory of past pathogen exposure, and thus, are an integral
component for maintaining immune system integrity and effectiveness.

Transfer factors are tiny protein molecules, which are produced by immune cells called T cells. Transfer
factors allow the immune system to remember conditions for which immunity has already been
established. When a person has been infected with chickenpox in childhood, for example, the body
develops a memory of that illness which prevents the person from becoming re-infected later in life. In
the future, the specific immune transfer factor molecule for chickenpox will endow the immune system
with the exact ‘blueprint’ of what chickenpox looks like, and the body will be able to quickly recognize
and respond to any possible re-infection before it can cause disease.

Transfer Factor Targets Specific Viruses, Bacteria, Yeasts and Fungus

There are several million naturally occurring transfer factors circulating in the human body. However, a healthy body can still function even though it may be missing about 50,000 different transfer factors. Many of these ‘immune memory molecules’ were introduced to us from our mother’s colostrum. This ‘first milk’ as it is called, is the richest source of concentrated transfer factors known to scientists. Transfer factor in colostrum has the sole purpose of transferring immunity from the mother to the baby’s immature immune system. This imparts the mother’s immunity to the baby to help ensure survival while the baby’ s immune system matures.

For individuals challenged by specific pathogens, whether known or unknown, 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.

What is the source of Transfer Factor?

All mammals produce transfer factor, however scientists prefer to work with chicken and normal bovine
(cow) colostrum. A healthy cow already produces millions of different transfer factors, but when the cow does come into contact with a pathogen such as a virus, it produces a new transfer factor for that
specific virus or pathogen.

Transfer factor is able to pass through the stomach unharmed by digestive enzymes and stomach acids.
The calf is then able to easily absorb this immune memory molecule, which gives it immunity to all the
same pathogens as the calf’s mother. This inherited immunity will protect the baby from the same
disease-causing organisms the mother was protected against.

Transfer factor crosses mammalian species lines. When a person absorbs transfer factor from a cow’s
colostrum, the person develops resistance to the pathogen to which the cow was exposed.

How is Transfer Factor Produced for Human Consumption?

Due to practical considerations in the manufacturing and processing of transfer factor, chicken derived
and bovine colostrum are the preferred source of transfer factor. These forms are the easiest to procure in quantity and they produce significant amounts of various transfer factors.

Colostrum from healthy, organically-fed cows is filtered and purified to provide a mixture of pure transfer
factor molecules. In the case of chicken-sourced transfer factor, specific transfer factors are derived
from healthy chickens and combined with specific growth factors derived from colostrum. Numerous
rigorous techniques including further purification and isolation result in pure transfer factor. Every lot
produced undergoes rigorous testing to ensure that the appropriate and effective levels of each transfer factor are present, before it is encapsulated and bottled.

People who are lactose intolerant or who have allergies need not be concerned about a reaction since all traces of milk proteins and lactose are removed during the extraction and concentration process.

When to Use Transfer Factor

How will a person know if transfer factor will be beneficial for him/her? It is important to be tested for a
variety of different pathogens to determine potential causative factors. If the test comes back positive, the patient should discuss the use of transfer factors with his/her physician. Certain conditions, for example, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, may be triggered by a variety of pathogens. Research has indicated that several viruses may be playing a causative role. These include several members of the herpes virus family, all known to establish life-long residence in the infected individual. Many published clinical and research studies have indicated that the Human Herpes Virus Six (variants 6A and 6B) may have some relationship or involvement in Chronic Fatigue Syndrome.

Transfer factor will not remove or ‘cure’ the problem in itself; rather transfer factor works to assist and
support normal immune system functioning. At the onset individuals typically begin with a high dose and
then eventually taper down to a minimum maintenance dose.

What to Expect

There may also be an initial reaction to transfer factor, as the immune system begins to recognize and
respond to pathogens that it was formerly unable to recognize. This will cause immune system activation that can result in an increase in body temperature and flu-like symptoms. Clinicians experienced in transfer factor therapy recognize this as a normal reaction that is characteristic of other products that can impact the immune system, such as whey protein.

Over Fifty Years of Research into Transfer Factor

Over fifty years of research, producing more than 3,000 articles in peer-reviewed scientific journals,
confirms transfer factor’s ability to support the body’s immune system response mechanism.

Transfer factor’s significance as immune system support is underscored by the fact that an independent
committee of researchers, scientists and doctors, formed a professional organization dedicated to the
study of transfer factor. The International Transfer Factor Society (ITFS), is comprised of
world-renowned medical experts such as Giancarlo Pizza, M.D. of Italy, Dimitri Viza, M.D. of France, and
Paul H. Levine, M.D. of the United States.

Transfer Factor for Pets is the Ultimate Immune System Booster for Animals

Transfer Factor - A Major Breakthrough in Health Care and Prevention for your Pets!
The Super Power of Immune System Support, Transfer Factor and Transfer Factor Plus Tri Factor can result in UNPRECEDENTED HEALTH BENEFITS that were previously unavailable in Veterinary medicine.

"Nearly everything that goes wrong with us, with the exception of trauma - i.e. broken bones etc., can be traced directly to an immune system failure"  Rob Robertson, M.D.

"This is truly the missing link in the nutritional approach to preventive medicine for pets. It is a powerful immune system activator that has the ability to boost the immune system in an entirely different way. They strengthen an underachieving immune system or bring the overactive immune system into balance."  Dr. Joe Ramaekers, DVM

Veterinarians Recommend Transfer Factor Plus Tri Factor
Many veterinarians recommend giving the human formula to their animals. The content of the capsule can be sprinkled in the animal's food.
