I would like to introduce a major player in the alternative health field, and it is called Transfer Factor. This miracle molecule has done so much for our immune system, I would like to share what it is and how it works with all of my fans. It is the best kept secret, and I want to let the cat out of the bag how wonderful this Miracle Molecule Transfer Factor is.
The following is compliments of my friend Dr. Dwayne Townsend, who has written all about this with such eloquence, I will now share it with you.
The following information is for education only and is not meant to diagnose, prescribe, or treat illness. It is valuable to seek the advice of an alternative health care professional before making any changes.
Transfer Factor: The Immune Connection:
“Transfer factors are small proteins that "transfer" the ability to express cell-mediated immunity from immune donors to non-immune recipients.”
Molecular Medicine, April 6, 2000
After I had my melanoma, I didn't want a recurrence. Conventional medicine offered me nothing to draw on when it came to protection. Make no mistake, once cancer appears in one part of your body, your risk of getting it somewhere else goes up. My father died of cancer, my mother died of cancer, my son has had a melanoma, my oldest daughter had a pre-melanotic lesion of her ear, my mother-in law had breast cancer, and her sister had breast cancer twice before she died of a massive stroke. It was obvious that we were doing a lousy job of preventing cancer in our family. So I looked elsewhere for the answer.
A visit to a naturopathic physician who knew his stuff led me to an individual with an immune-enhancing compound called transfer factor. Because I agreed to give a talk on TF, I had to review the literature carefully and I became impressed by the data. Here was a natural product that not only boosted the immune system, it also calmed an over-reactive immune system often seen in people with autoimmune diseases, (something my youngest daughter struggled with).
Now, after countless hours of research and personal use, when anyone asks me about immune system boosters, my answer is always the same — take transfer factor. I have used it for years and have found that my resistance to disease has dramatically improved. In fact, I so rarely get flu or a cold anymore that when I encounter someone who has one, I invariably ask them, “Why are you sick?” It usually doesn’t go over well, but I tell them that they must enjoy being ill because it really isn’t necessary.
I’ve been taking transfer factor daily for over 8 years and my immune cells still react aggressively whenever my body is invaded by a new virus or bacteria. Moreover, I believe that my ability to reduce my risk of cancer has vastly improved because of dietary changes coupled with using a short list of supplements that are topped off by transfer factor.
What Exactly Is TF?
Transfer factor molecules are comprised of a few amino acids that act as immune messenger molecules that work in white blood cells. They are abundantly found within the colostrum of breast milk. When a mother nurses her baby, transfer factors from her more experienced immune system pass to her baby via the colostrum. Colostrum is rich in immune components that pass to the newborn, affording its more vulnerable and new immune system the advantages of a much older, experienced one (its mother).
Moreover, this transfer of immunity to the infant confers protection on the baby until its immune system can make its own transfer factors.
Transfer factors can now be extracted from cow colostrum, concentrated and offered in supplement form. These molecules are not species-specific making them cross-species compatible. While different mammals may have a unique colostrum mix, the transfer factors contained within their colostrum are the same. Transfer factors produced by a cow can work just as effectively in humans as they do in animals. The ability to receive immune data that is transferred from the cow to the human has the potential to revolutionize the way we look at disease prevention in medicine.
The Tri-fold Benefits of Taking TF:
When you take taking factor, you get three benefits.
First your immune system is strengthened so that when new viruses or bacteria invade your body, your heightened immune cells react very rapidly. By so doing, they prevent the foreign organism from getting a toe hold; consequently, even if you do get sick, the infection will be milder.
Secondly, when you take transfer factor, you store these borrowed messenger molecules in your own immune data banks. As a result, when you are invaded by an organism that had previously infected the cow, the acquired transfer factor molecules stimulate you immune system to specifically recognized and react to this particular microorganism.
Third, if your immune system is over-reactive (something seen in autoimmune diseases like arthritis, lupus, etc.) transfer factor will modulate or calm immune defenses which inadvertently attack healthy tissue thereby improving one’s health.
You Can Lead A Horse to Water . . .
Informing my medical colleagues about TF along with other natural compounds like genistein, ginkgo biloba, etc., motivated me to intensely study the value of these and other alternative medicines. And, generally speaking, their reception was surprisingly warm. In other words, I was not openly rebuked.
Of course, these were the same doctors I taught several of my new gynecological procedures to (cryosurgery, colposcopy, endometrial ablation, etc.). In spite of their polite responses, and to my disappointment, none of these physicians took up transfer factor either personally or for their patients.
This was especially unfortunate for their cancer patients who all need a tremendous amount of immune system support. The results my own cancer patients on TF experienced were quite dramatic and I searched for new ways to inform more physicians about the spectacular benefits of TF. Regardless of the success I was having with my own patients, my fellow physicians remained reluctant to suggest TF or genistein, or any natural compound to their own patients. I call their predictable response to complementary medicine a knee jerk reaction at its worse.
TF: Preventive Medicine At Its Best:
TF increases our army of natural killer cells. These remarkable cells seek and destroy potentially harmful invaders. Simply stated, the increased killer cell activity we get from taking supplemental transfer factor significantly increases our ability to stay healthy. It is the epitome of preventive medicine. Let me reiterate at this point that I would not presume to suggest any natural product unless it came with impressive scientific credentials, and TF does. Like genistein, TF had to win me over. Naturally, when word got out that I was interested in natural products, a number of prominent companies approached me with their line of products. Unfortunately, the science supporting many of their flagship supplements was lacking. Consequently, so was my interest.
TF is Sophisticated Immune Support:
Through a special and patented process, concentrated transfer factors can now be “lifted” out of cow colostrum, collected and offered in a pure and powerful concentrated extract. A 1996 issue of Biotherapy reported that transfer factors can stimulate an immune system response in less than 24 hours. I believe that adding more transfer factors to our immune arsenal enhances the transfer of information from cell to cell. Our immune defenders are given more information, and as a result, we develop a stronger, more efficient immune system capable of fighting off constant assaults.
TF is Backed By Sound Scientific Data:
To date, over 3,000 clinical studies and papers have been published on transfer factors. Scores of international, well-respected scientists and physicians have established the effectiveness and safety of transfer factors. Over the last fifty years, an estimated $40,000,000 has been spent on research. The data strongly suggests that transfer factors offer extraordinary immune benefits.
Well-documented and scientifically validated, transfer factors emerge as profoundly important to health maintenance worldwide. Recently, a symposium on transfer factors was held in Italy where transfer factor researcher. Dr. D. Viza spoke about the potential of transfer factor in an era when "the toll of several diseases, such as cancer, continues to rise and the pathogenesis of AIDS remains elusive."
The Last Word on TF:
Transfer factor is nothing less than an amazing natural compound that should be used by physicians everywhere. Last year alone, I flew over 200,000 miles in teaching capacities throughout the United States and Europe, and I NEVER BECAME ILL. We all know about the microbial hazards of re-circulated plane cabin air and yet here I sit, infection free. At the risk of going overboard, let me just say that I love what transfer factor has done for me, for my family, and for my patients.
