Transfer Factor Goes To The Olympics



What are Transfer Factors?

Transfer Factors are small molecules that intelligently regulate immune system activities such as recognition, response and memory of foreign invaders. Transfer factors increase, decrease, and educates T Cells - Natural Killer (NK) cells, and Immunoglobulin Antibodies (IgA) according to your needs. They are found in the bodies of all higher animals. They are transferred from a mother who breast feeds to her new born infant to support the infant's immune system.

Dr. H. Sherwood Lawrence discovered he could transfer the successful immune response of a person who was exposed to a foreign invader by transferring the donor's dialyzable leukocytes to a naive recipient in the 1940s. He called this process the "transfer factor". Since then, researchers conducted thousands of transfer factor studies with mixed results depending on dosage, experimental design, and other factors. After 1992, Kirkpatrick distinguished specific transfer factors at the molecular level. His results indicate that transfer factors are constituted by a large group of amino acid molecules, of low molecular weights, from 1.0 to 6.0 kDa. Medline, the National Institute of Health’s online service published over 1,200 scientific abstracts on the immune benefits of transfer factors. An estimated $40,000,000 was spent on research. (See references)

During the early 1990s, 4Life Research discovered that the pure transfer factor molecules can be extracted from colostrum and egg yolks and received patents for the processes. 4Life Research chose colostrum and egg yolks because they knew that cows and chickens are exposed to a broad spectrum of foreign invaders from being outdoors and eating off the ground. Cows and chickens also make transfer factors that are identical to transfer factors that healthy human immune systems develop if they are exposed to these potentially dangerous foreign invaders.

Currently, 4Life produces standardized health nutrition supplements that transfer this experienced immune system information to naive recipients so their immune systems are prepared to deal with these microscopic threats. Independent study results show that 4Life's transfer factors increase natural killer cell activities by 283 percent in pure form and 437 percent in their proprietary blend Transfer Factor Plus Tri-Factor Formula. This is more effective than any other method known at this time. (See chart) Transfer factors also increase immunoglobulin antibodies (IgA) by 73 percent.

The FDA generally regards transfer factors as safe. Pure transfer factors do not demonstrate toxicity even at 200 times the recommended dose. Transfer factors are a normal part of our bodies' so there are no drug interactions with pure transfer factors.

Independent comparison studies show other forms of extraction and immune system support products are relatively costly and ineffective. Most just boost immune system activity which can leave your immune system out of balance. As with many revolutionary breakthroughs that threaten convention, 4Life transfer factors are being met with sometimes criminal contempt (1).

4life transfer factor molecules speed up recognition and modulate immune response, memory, and resting of immune system activities according to your needs. Taking 4Life Transfer Factors effectively helps the immune system recognize and fight off threats or foreign invaders, and then preserves energy by reducing your immune system response when the threat is under control.

The need for 4Life Transfer Factors in children and adults comes from the interplay of genetic and environmental threats that weaken and/or over-activate our immune systems responses to foreign invaders. Another reason for using transfer factors comes from the increase in new antibiotic resistant bacteria. It is well known that pollution, poor eating habits, lack of exercise, and legal and illegal drugs, threaten our health and lifestyles. Transfer factor is one of those health nutrition supplements that can change the course of your life for the better.

78 Ways Sugar Ruins Your Health

Four of the most important steps you can take to improve your health

1. Detoxify

Toxins play a major role in slowing down and modifying metabolic processes including your immune system. Detoxification takes many forms: Sweat, rest, exercise, weight loss, cleansing, antioxidants, and breathing.

2. Support your immune system

Your immune system is responsible for identifying foreign invaders. Once it correctly recognizes a threat, the immune system must be able to eliminate the invader without overreacting or destroying your own tissues. Finally, without wasting energy, the immune system must stay prepared to deal with a threat if it returns. It should not over react or under react.

3. Focus on success

Success is the result of reaching an honorable goal without harming others. To do this you must mastermind a process to reach that goal. That plan will include education, cooperation with competent experts, and actions that builds the structures and functions that support that honorable goal. Those actions will include supporting good health, good relationships, and economic abundance.

4. Target your specific needs

You must study and recognize your strengths and weaknesses. Then coordinate your resources to maximize your potential for the common good of all.

Aging is not a Disease

Did you know that aging is not a disease and that disease should not be a normal part of aging? Toxins and foreign invaders in our environment causes most of what we call aging or disease. In our toxic world, we have made it necessary to use health nutrition supplements, health vitamins supplements, and herbal dietary nutrition products to detoxify, support the immune system, and exercise, rest, stress management, education, and generally work at rejuvenations as well as recreation and leisure to stay healthy. When we use health nutrition supplements, health vitamins supplements, and herbal dietary nutrition products correctly to obtain balance and fill in the missing pieces, our stamina increases, our attitude improves, and we retake control of our lives.

Genetically Designed for Optimal Living

Genetically designed to stay healthy, we even automatically repair ourselves. Every cell in our bodies' are replaced from time to time. Our bones have little mechanisms that travel along bone to replace it. We produce new blood. We make our own adult stem cells in our bone marrow and send them to replace lost cells, including heart and brain cells.

The problem occurs when the destructive forces exceed our ability to reconstruct. This largely comes from environmental influences. Toxins, stress, bacteria, viruses, parasites, and fungi all contribute to overwhelm us. However, we have discovered health nutrition supplements, health vitamins supplements, and herbal dietary nutrition products that largely help us overcome the destructive processes. We call it the structures and functions approach for optimal living.



Knowledge is the Key

The structure and function approach simply means that we support the structures and functions of our life with nutrition supplements, health vitamins supplements, and herbal dietary nutrition products, as part of a healthy lifestyle. To do this we need a little knowledge.

Scientific American: "Heart Disease Begins With a Dysfunctional Immune System"
Recently, scientists from Harvard University have found that heart disease begins with a dysfunctional immune system. They believe germs and toxins get in the arterial lining causing an immune system inflammatory reaction. A weak immune system secretes chemicals to trap the germs instead of eliminating them and this leads to inflammation. Cholesterol naturally attaches to the inflamed area creating a blockage that can lead to a heart attack (SA).

Using special nutrition supplements that support the immune system can help the immune system recognize these germs. Then the immune system that has been supported by nutrition supplements is better able to launch a healthier natural response that is strong enough to destroy these germs. Other nutrition supplements like antioxidants can also support the body's ability to mop up after the battle by removing toxic cellular waste products like free radicals. When the germs are gone, a properly supported immune system is able signal for the reduction of the inflammatory chemicals. When germs and toxins are gone and the inflammation lowers and the body starts to repair the lining of the blood vessel, the cholesterol cannot stick to a healthy lining so it releases.

This is just one example of how supporting the structures and functions of the body with nutrition supplements can support better health. Nutrition supplements never treat or cure disease. Nutrition supplements are nutrients that the body uses support structures and functions that keep us healthy. That is why the structure and function approach can frequently be superior to the disease approach to health and wellness. The key is to use nutrition supplements to keep the structures and functions of your body working the way nature intended.

H1n1 Panic of 2009

oo much gloom and doom. As you have heard, there is no cure for the H1n1 H5 H5n1 bird flu or swine flew, except the health of your own immune system. The H1n1 kills about 7 percent who contract it, the H5n1 about 48 percent. The vaccine is being rushed without adequate testing. The FDA approved the flu shots without putting them through the needed testing and approval process. According to the patent office, the ingredients include MF59, a potentially debilitating adjuvant and other hazardous ingredients. The long term effects include long term autoimmune arthritis and lupis. Many of the flu shots were recalled because they were not potent. The flu shot could not be produced fast enough to keep up with the spread of the H1N1. Most of us got the flu and now have natural immunity. Drug companies advertised and doctors were put on TV to tell us we had to take the flu shot or risk dieing. Pregnant women were told to take the flu shot because they were at more risk. Now they have changed tactics to selling to older adults. Some of these Doctors on TV stated that the ingredients on the patent are no longer in the flu shot. If not, then what are they giving us? You have no legal right to sue for damages from the flu shot. Of course, that does not prevent you from filing the law suit if you were damaged as such wavers and laws may be unconstitutional. Some states are not planning to allow self shielding (See our section under Swine Flu Symptoms). Do not panic. There are intelligent health nutrition supplements, health vitamins supplements, and herbal dietary nutrition products that may make you harder to kill. Support your body's immune system.

Taking Nutrition Supplements

There are a number of things to consider when taking nutrition supplements. First, let us say that the nutrients in high quality nutrition supplements are essential to a healthy, optimal lifestyle. There are too many toxins, pollutants, preservatives, dietary imbalances, and processing of foods in modern life to stay healthy without using nutrition supplements to compensate. It is a misnomer that we can get all of the nutrients that we need from a well balanced diet. Nutrition supplements bridge the gaps, they help us stay fit, and they give us the freedom accomplish more with our lives.

The biggest single problem encountered with taking nutrition supplements is not following directions. Misuse can lead to upset stomach, ineffectiveness, toxicity, interference with medications, and dozens of other problems. Yet, when taken correctly, they give us energy, endurance, stamina, health, a sense of well-being, and a positive can do ability to accomplish more important goals in life.

As a general rule, most nutrition supplements need to be taken with a full 8 oz. glass of water. Nutrition supplements need lots of water to break down and to help with absorption. Many nutrition supplements can upset your stomach if they are not taken with enough water.

Some nutrition supplements need to be taken before a meal. Usually they delay the absorption or prevent the uptake of fats or sugars. Gurmar, Carb-Blx, and ChitoLite are good examples of nutrition supplements that need to be taken before a meal.

ChitoLite binds fat. You should not take ChitoLite at the same time as nutrition supplements that supply essential fatty acids (EFA) because the EFA will be blocked.

The Right Amount: That is usually the amount according to the instructions on the label. However, it should be increased or decreased according to the size, weight, metabolism, diet, activity level of the person, and individual needs and goals.

Mega dosing is not recommended because nutrients depend on other nutrients to work properly. Mega dosing can lead to toxic affects when the nutrition supplements are not used by the body and balanced with other nutrients that work synergistically.

Occasionally, people are afraid of nutrition supplements or try to save money by reducing the dose that they take. The right attitude and right amount of nutritional supplements are critical for success.

Sometimes not following directions is due to the small print on the label. If this is the case, get someone to read it or call the company. Do not just guess. If the person is impaired, make sure there is a caregiver checking for correct usage.

Sometimes people confuse nutrition supplements with drugs. Most health nutrition supplements are considered to be food. As such, they are determinants of good health and generally considered to be safe to eat (See report). They are not drugs just because they come in capsule form. On the other hand, drugs are not considered to be food. Drugs are highly regulated because they may be dangerous and complicated to use. Nutrition supplements do not treat disease. If you are taking drugs or have a serious condition, consult with a physician that has studied the nutrients in the nutrition supplements.

What is a Healing Crisis?

Some people who take transfer factors have a healing crisis. This article will explain a lot if you do not know what a healing crisis is. One of the first things that happen when we are exposed to foreign invaders is that our immunoglobulin antibodies (IgA) attack invaders and sends signals for our bodies to release a series of chemicals that cause tissues to swell to form a barrier, and block invaders. We have all noticed this when we injure ourselves or are exposed to bacteria or virus that gives us a sore throat.

We call this swelling inflammation. Aside from the pain from the damage and free radicals that the invader caused, the swelling can put pressure on nerves, which send pain signals to the brain. This is how we bring conscious attention to the threat so that we take steps to deal with it and insure our survival. It is what our bodies need to do to fight the invader during the early stages of the threat. Ideally, at this point, transfer factors should successfully instruct the immune system to identify what the threat represents. Then send a correct response, which includes supplying sufficient numbers of immune cells (such as T-Cells, and Antibodies), possibly creating a fever to destroy the invaders, and secreting fluids to wash out the invaders, which can cause sneezing and coughing. These are healthy functions of the immune system, and not the invader. You should help the immune system to do its work by getting rest and eating right. Interference usually delays your recovery. Next, your body directs the repair of the damage, which includes sending enzymes, antioxidants, and other nutrients, and removing the chemicals that cause the inflammation. Finally, transfer factors must instruct the immune system to remember what to do so it is prepared to act more quickly if the threat returns.

If for some reason, something like sugar, low quality food, lack of rest, stress, pollution, or toxins compromises your immune system response, you may not eliminate the invader and so it continues to cause damage to your body. Alternatively, if something like a virus or drug causes your immune system to overreact; you may continue to have symptoms. These may include an auto immune response (An auto immune response is when your immune system attacks your own cells), or, runny nose, rash, sneezing, or watery eyes known as an allergy symptoms (Which is your immune system overacting to a minor threat). If we are irresponsible and do not take action to eliminate the causes of these over and under reactive immune system, responses and we allow the causes to continue, they can subtlety slow us down and adversely affect the quality of our lives. In the extreme, this leads to disease, which requires the expensive attention of a medical professional.

It is very important to eliminate contributing causes and take action to support all of the structures and functions of your body. One of the best ways that you can balance up your immune system response is by taking transfer factor. The healing crisis occurs when your immune system balances. You then start to experience the functions or symptoms of a healthy immune system response. All it is is that your immune system is fighting off the invaders that it could not fight before taking the transfer factor. Once you get through the healing crisis, you should feel your energy return to the level it was at before your immune system became unbalanced. This takes days for some people and months for others. You should feel younger, more energetic, and feel a zest for life. That zest for life is the key. If you do not feel it, you are still in need of a tune-up.

People, who have that zest for life, may not notice any change when they start taking transfer factor. However, it is still helpful because it works in subtle ways that reduce the damage caused by invaders and keeps you better prepared for new threats when they occur. People who take transfer factors see gradual improvements in the bio-markers of aging.
