Dr. Vivienne Matalon, M.D. - A Medical Doctor on Transfer Factor:
"Transfer factor is in the same class as the most potent vitamins. When do you need it? You need it all the time. And who needs it? Actually, everyone. Not only you as an adult, but also your children and pets. And it's safe. I have not documented one single side effect related to the use of transfer factor." Vivienne Matalon, M.D.
Dr. Ken Hansen, D.V.M. - A Doctor of Veterinary Medicine on Transfer Factor:
"Veterinary Medicine has been my profession and career for over 30 years. I became a large animal veterinarian because of my interests in the cattle industry. Horses and small animals comprised about 20% of my "James Harriet-like" practice.
Then, after 4 years of doing what was most important to me, an allergy to cattle popped up. The symptoms were indigestion, intense itching and inflammation anytime I came in contact with the bovine species or tried to eat beef, even to the point of not tolerating dairy products. It was serious enough that I had to leave the practice that I loved and change directions.
I returned to Colorado State University, my alma mater, and studied pathology in graduate school. I returned to practice, which at first was one hundred percent small animal. I learned not to make "never" claims because I had told my classmates "I will never spend my time working on poodles". Having recovered from the cattle allergies, I began to once again do some large animal practice.
The road to recovery and healing was long-term which included digging into the literature and finding dietary and supplement applications which worked. It took about seven years to total recovery. My practice interests became more and more, disease prevention and wellness. I saw how nutrition made a great difference and was often more effective than traditional medical approaches.
Then I was introduced to Transfer Factor, developed by 4-Life Research, from a colleague. I have found that the results of using these products did more in a few hours or a few days than traditional medicine alone. This became the next step for me in working in nutrition, disease prevention and wellness.
A couple of my colleagues presented these products at the American Association of Equine Practitioners meeting in Texas. There was an opportunity here, I found, not only to build a consultation type practice but also to develop some very good income. 4-Life Research is a very impressive and professional company. They developed Immune System products first for humans and then for animals. I found they were very effective..." Ken Hansen, Doctor of Veterinary Medicine
See what other Doctors of Veterinary Medicine have to say about Transfer Factors Dr. Richard Bennett, Ph.D. (Doctor of Philosophy) - Scientist and Infectious Disease Microbiologist & Immunologist on Transfer Factor:
"The immunity provided by transfer factor is long lived and can help all ages who are suffering from a variety of ailments or those who want to stay well." Richard Bennett, Ph.D.
Doctor Bennett is an Infectious Disease Microbiologist & Immunologist, who is enjoying retirement from a 21-year career with the University of California where he specialized in food and water quality and safety. He received his Doctorate in Comparative Pathology from the University of California, Davis. He has an extensive background in milk quality and disease control, water resource policy, food safety, public policy of natural resources, etc. He has also served as an advisor for the FDA and USDA.
See Research Studies on Transfer Factors done by Dr. Richard Bennett Dr. Gary Haagen - Doctor of Chiropractic Medicine on Transfer Factor:
"A while ago I came down with a summer cold. I got a runny nose and a sore throat, and then my next order of transfer factor arrived. I decided I would take nothing else. In a 24-hour time period I felt great! I had no symptoms. It was like I'd never had a cold. It was very exciting for me to experience that firsthand. Quite frankly, I've never had an immune boosting experience like I had with transfer factor. It's just remarkable. I think every chiropractor should know about this product and I think people should be telling their friends about this. If for no other reason you should have it in your medicine chest for when you need a immune system boost or modulation." Doctor Gary Haagen
Dr. William Hennen, Ph.D.(Doctor of Philosophy)- Biochemist and Researcher in Drug Design and Development on Transfer Factor:
"Transfer factor's are the most exciting discovery in immunology. As the 21st century unfolds, transfer factor will be one of our greatest keys to health and well being." William Hennen, Ph.D.
Dr. Hennen, Vice President of Research and Development at 4Life Research, is a biochemist with thirteen years of experience as a researcher in drug design and development. He also worked for eight years as a consultant and research director in the nutritional supplement industry.
Transfer Factor Natural Immune Booster By William J. Hennen Ph.D. Bob Kononiuk R.Ph. - Pharmacist on Transfer Factor
"As a medical professional and pharmacist, I have been exposed to a great number of medical drugs and nutrients. I am convinced that the benefits produced by transfer factor and transfer factor plus far exceed any substance that I have ever been exposed to. I have assumed the mission to take this to the world. Everyone should be on these products." Bob Kononiuk R.Ph.
Suzette Lawrence, CNM on Transfer Factor:
"When infants are nursed they are 17 times less likely to become seriously ill. Today we understand the science behind this dramatic display of wellness. We understand that the newborn's immune system is jump started with mom's immune history via her transfer factors. Transfer factor is our tool to jumpstart our immune systems." Suzette Lawrence, CNM
Doctor Calvin McCausland - Researcher on Transfer Factor:
"Our company (4Life Research) has proven itself to be a company that provides sound dietary supplements, in keeping with the latest research. This commitment to providing revolutionary natural products is one that I am excited to help develop. I am particularly struck with the potential that exists for the transfer factor. Transfer factor is today where vitamins and herbs were 15 years ago." Dr. Calvin McCausland
Dr. McCausland has 22 years of experience in the nutritional supplement industries. During that time, he supervised the creation or reformulation of over 350 supplements. He is an internationally known lecturer and has visited 53 countries in the world.
In October 1997 Dr. McCausland became the first and only American to be elected a member and academician in the Russian Academy of Medical and Technical Science. In March of 1999 he was awarded the national Kosigen award. The award recognizes the most significant contribution that will impact the future economy of Russia in the areas of science and medicine.
Treating Chronically Ill Patients with Transfer Factor - Dr. Carol Ann Ryser, M.D.Treating Chronically Ill Patients with Transfer Factor - An Interview with Doctor Carol Ann Ryser, M.D. - (excerpt)
Since 1998, Doctor Carol Ann Ryser has been using Transfer Factor to treat her chronically ill patients, and has experienced considerable success in diminishing symptoms and achieving overall health improvements among those patients. In this interview, Doctor Ryser discusses her experience with Transfer Factor as an effective treatment for chronic illness.
Doctor Ryser: "The diagnosis of a patient is of utmost importance. I perform a series of genetic testing with PCR (Polymer Chain Reaction) that tells me the specific bacteria or virus(es) a patient has. Transfer Factor helps with viral, bacterial, and fungal infections as well as parasites, and supports the immune system while treating the problems a patient has. Regarding what formulas of Transfer Factor I use for different patients, I use the plain Transfer Factor as a general prevention treatment, especially for infections and allergies and for patients with Epstein-Barr, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome."
Q: How much Transfer Factor do you typically recommend, and for what kind of patient?
Doctor Ryser: "For chronically ill patients, including those with chronic sinusitis, and multiple allergies, I recommend six capsules a day, and depending on the severity of their symptoms, I might recommend up to twelve capsules a day. For children ages 7-12 or 13, depending on weight, I will recommend two capsules a day, to be taken at bedtime.
When a patient is beginning to get sick and is coming down with a fever, I will have them take two capsules every 2-3 hours, for 24 hours, and that usually knocks the virus "off its socks," so to speak. This dosage of Transfer Factor can nip a fever in the bud, by supporting the immune system’s natural killer cells.
I also treat fibromyalgia patients with Transfer Factor. I believe that fibromyalgia is most commonly caused by infections, including bacteria, yeast, and parasites. For chronically ill patients dealing with multiple infections, including CNS (Central Nervous System) infections and gastrointestinal infections, I recommend several different Transfer Factor formulas, to be taken together."
Q.: How long does it usually take for a patient to experience positive results once they start taking Transfer Factor?
Doctor Ryser: "My patients usually start to feel better within 3-6 months of beginning treatment with Transfer Factor. Dramatic results usually manifest in about one year, but we really begin to see positive changes in 5-6 months. It typically takes about a year of Transfer Factor treatment to really turn a patient around. I am specifically referring to chronically ill patients who have an average of 2-7 chronic infections that require treatment. The body’s cells regenerate every six months, and you need to give the body a chance to generate healthy cells before dramatic improvements in a patient’s overall health can emerge."
Q.: What, if any, are the side effects or possible negative reactions that can occur with Transfer Factor therapy?
Doctor Ryser: "The initial reactions to Transfer Factor a patient will experience are similar to a vaccination – but without, of course, exposure to the pathogen. The initial reaction typically includes flu-like symptoms, proportionate to the severity of a patient’s illness. These flu-like symptoms go away, but they prove that the immune system has been activated, and that it is working to suppress the body’s infections.
Regarding the safety of Transfer Factor, I have never had a problem with negative side effects or adverse reactions. However, I am very cautious. I perform careful evaluations of a patient’s immune system. I check for viral leukemia, and so forth. I am very careful with cancer and autoimmune patients, with whom you must be cautious with regard to stimulating immune cells – this is particularly the case with Hodgkins Disease and Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma patients."
Q.: What have you found to be the most positive benefits of Transfer Factor for your Chronic Fatigue Syndrome patients – what are the best results you have seen?
Doctor Ryser: "The patient stops getting sick, and they don’t have any more infections. Their cognitive thinking clears up – no more brain fog. Their energy comes back – they can start doing more, and they can start walking and exercising again. They don’t suffer relapses. However, when a patient is doing well and they make the personal decision to stop taking Transfer Factor, I have seen relapses. I strongly recommend that a patient takes Transfer Factor for life – that is, it is a lifetime commitment for my chronically ill patients."
Doctor Carol Ann Ryser, M.D., is a Board Certified Pediatrician, Board Certified Clinical Analyst, member of F.A.A.P., the American Medical Association, OHM (Orthomolecular Health Medicine), and the American Academy of Anti-Aging Medicine. The primary focus of Dr. Ryser’s medical practice is on the prevention of illness and disease. Since 1996, Dr. Ryser has been the Medical Director of Health Centers of America. Previously, she was Medical Director of the International Learning Centers, Director of Mid-American Treatment and Training, a staff member of the Gardner Medical Center, Consulting Staff Member of the Research Medical Center, Assistant Clinical Professor of Pediatrics at the University of Kansas Medical Center, Medical Director of the Children’s Rehabilitation Unit, University of Kansas Medical Center, Consultant to the Special Education Department for Orthopedically Handicapped Children, and a Consultant to the United States Air Force in Crete. Dr. Ryser has published and presented a number of papers in her area of expertise, appearing in such publications as The American Journal for Diseases of Children, the Journal of Neurology, Neurosurgery and Psychology and Pediatrics. Dr. Ryser has been recognized for her contributions in the fields of medicine, science, and mental health, as both a clinician and educator, by both professional and lay organizations.
Others on Transfer FactorDr. Joe Elrod, Ph.D. (Doctor of Philosophy) - Professor and Fibromyalgia Researcher on Transfer Factor:
"I have been very fortunate to place fibromyalgia patients on our protocol throughout North America. Transfer factors are remarkable because the recovery process has been expedited greatly. Now that we have transfer factors, we are getting even better results, especially with the more chronic stages and conditions of the syndrome. The executives and scientists behind this company and product have impeccable credentials. I consider it a tremendous honor and privilege to be a small part of this wonderful 4Life™ effort that is effectively putting lives and families back together worldwide." Joe Elrod, Ph.D.
Doctor Elrod received his Doctoral Degree in the field of Health, Physical Education, and Recreation. For fifteen years, he served as a professor at Auburn University. He has done extensive research in the field of fibromyalgia and is the author of the best-selling book Reversing Fibromyalgia. He has served as a member of many boards and committees, including Programs for Exceptional Children and American Alliance for Health.
Marc H. Blatstein - Former President of the Philadelphia Chapter of the Juvenile Diabetes Foundation on Transfer Factor:
"I have had diabetes for 38 of my 49 years and I've had kidney disease since 1986. In August of 1999, I went for my quarterly blood test for my kidneys. The physician called me after the test was taken and said, "Not only are your kidneys functioning well, after fourteen years, their function has improved dramatically." My BUN (blood urea nitrogen) was near normal after fourteen years of it being almost twice as high as it should be because my kidneys weren't filtering well. The only supplemental change in my life was transfer factor. Only once in my life did I endorse a product. I've been on an insulin pump for seven years, and I've allowed my name, face, and testimony to be used nationally. This is the second time, and it took alot to convince me. Not only are my kidneys working great, but this is the first year in sixteen years that I haven't gotten a flu shot or gotten the flu or bronchitis" Marc H. Blatstein
Marc H. Blatstein is the Former President of the Philadelphia Chapter of the Juvenile Diabetes Foundation.
June Ferrari, ND, CNC on Transfer Factor:
"Transfer factor is the gift from nature that supplies the essential tools for the regulation of our immune systems, in order to properly address the challenges we face in today's toxic world. transfer factor provides the body with an arsenal of defense, unleashing the true power of the immune system." June Ferrari, ND, CNC
Doctors Greg Wilson and Gary Paddock - Researchers and Transfer Factor Patent Holders Comments:
"We know transfer factor’s history of safety. Chang, at the Wadley Institute of Molecular Medicine in Texas, injected humongous amounts of transfer factor in people just to prove that it was safe. He went way overboard to prove safety. The nice thing about transfer factor, when prepared in the way it will be distributed by 4Life™, it evokes no immune response against it by the recipient, and there’s no problem about immune complex diseases and it’s, therefore, much safer." Doctor Greg Wilson, Transfer Factor Patent Holder
"Through the research that Dr. Wilson and I have done in the development and characterization of Colostral TF, we have patented this technology. This patent includes the manufacture and use of Colostral TF, and this patent has been licensed to 4 Life." Doctor Gary Paddock, Transfer Factor Patent Holder

View Dr. See's Curriculum Vitae Dr. Magnus 'T. ibn Ale, M.D., C.M. - A Medical Doctor on Transfer Factor:
"I have seen first hand, the deadly consequences of the emergence of flesh-eating super-germs, now resistant to most of the antibiotics which were once successfully used against them. The abuse, unnecessary use and overuse of antibiotics over the years, have contributed to this life threatening development.
Many infections and illnesses, including cancer, develop because of immune system failure, resulting from many day to day factors, several of which are preventable. One thing we can all do however, is to boost our immune system to help protect, defend and help our body to heal itself.
I have listened to the testimonials of several healthy as well as health challenged individuals, who have used the Transfer Factors™ and other 4Life Research™ products. Their stories and the dramatic improvement in the quality of their lives generate excitement. I believe that 4LifeTransfer Factor™ and Transfer Factor Plus™ are true immune system modulators. I have decided not only to use 4Life Research™ products, but also to tell others about them." Magnus 'T. ibn Ale, M.D., C.M.
Dr. Magnus is a naturalized Canadian-American. He graduated with B.Sc. (Honors); and M. D.,C. from McGill University in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. After one year of general internship, Magnus did 4 years of residency in Obstetrics and Gynecology.

He has practiced his profession for some 25 years.
Dr. Kenneth Singleton, M.D., MPH (Master of Public Health) - A Medical Doctor on Transfer Factor:
"Transfer factor is the most exciting product for the immune system that I've seen in my eighteen years of practicing medicine. It has literally revolutionized my practice, particularly in terms of chronic diseases." Kenneth Singleton, M.D., MPH
Dr. Kenneth Bock, M.D. - A Medical Doctor on Transfer Factor:
"The immune system is an important aspect of bringing balance to the body, and specifically, to someone who has autism. Transfer factors can be very effective because they have been shown to both boost and suppress the immune system. Because transfer factor can function as an immune system modulator, it can help to restore immune system balance in many types of clinical situations." Kenneth Bock, M.D., best selling author on immune system modulation.
Dr. Bock is a physician who is renowned for his integrated approach to health and wellness. For the past 17 years he has integrated alternative modalities with conventional medicine into what he calls Progressive Medicine. He is the co-author of two books: The Road to Immunity and Natural Relief for your Child's Asthma. Dr. Bock recently conducted an important study on the use of Transfer Factor with children who have Autism Spectrum Disorders.
Dr. Ranya L. Alexander, Ph.D., M.D.- A Medical Doctor on Transfer Factor:
"My daughter suffered from serious sinus problems and asthma. Having provided the genes for her condition ( I too am asthmatic) I have felts pangs of guilt knowing that all my training could not stop the common cold virus from rendering Leena helplessly gasping for air a few hours after each infection. Her mother (a pediatric nurse) and I tried every prescription and alternative therapy known, without success. Helplessly we would stand by the bedside offering repeated breathing therapy with slow if any progress. In the local Children's hospital we agonized, like any parents, over each breath our little girl took. In our home viruses can mean colds and "colds always mean asthma!" With the onset of one particularly virulent head cold, we tried transfer factors, a product I felt, theoretically, might work. After several doses we couldn't believe how quickly our daughter's condition improved. Now taking transfer factors before a bad cold, she remains well. Thanks to transfer factors we regained a normal child. Now we all use transfer factors regularly and are enjoying the best health we have ever had." Ranya L. Alexander, Ph.D., M.D.
Dr. "C.K. 'Benny' Foo, M.D. - A Medical Doctor on Transfer Factor:
"In my 43 years of medical practice I have never come across any pharmaceutical or nutriceutical products like Transfer Factor that can help people to get well and stay well. Because my friends and relatives are getting positive responses from Transfer Factor products, I have committed myself to share Transfer Factor with everyone, everywhere. Most people don't realize that they can enhance their immune system by taking Transfer Factor products. I feel very strongly that everyone needs Transfer Factor products for their health and I encourage you to join with me on this exciting mission to reduce the sufferings of our fellow human beings. "C.K. 'Benny' Foo, M.D.

Medical Doctors on Transfer Factor
The immune system is the actual agent involved in healing or recovering from an illness. There are nutrients that we believe can support proper immune functions. It is not our intent to indicate that nutrition can always cause the immune system to prevent all illness or any particular illness. Nor, is it our intent to indicate that nutrition can always cause the immune system to heal us when we are ill. However, we do believe that individual research indicates nutrition is important for a healthy and responsive immune system. A healthy immune system can in some instances, prevent illness and heal us of disease. Testimonies are provided to give a general idea of what patients believe is helping their immune systems become healthy and responsive.

Each day more people experience the benefits of 4Life Transfer Factor. These testimonials are from real people who have experienced life-changing results from the immunity gift they’ve received from 4Life Transfer Factor products.
I started to take 4Life Transfer Factor about a year ago. Sometimes I have reactions to my surroundings that cause my nose, eyes and throat to bother me. Well, this past year I even sat at a dinner table with hyacinths on the table and one right at my place. I had no reaction whatsoever. I believe 4Life Transfer Factor provided the support my immune system needed. I’m very thankful for 4Life Transfer Factor. Doris Z. 4Life DistributorPennsburg, Pennsylvania
Being a mother of six, I have found a way to help support my children’s health, especially during the time of year when we pass germs back and forth to each other. I’m very excited I can share all the power behind 4Life products to the world.Tina K. 4Life DistributorBonney Lake, WashingtonI’ve been taking 4Life Transfer Factor Plus everyday for the last couple of months and occasionally, the 4Life Transfer Factor Immune Spray. I have found improvement in my total well-being. As a runner, I have felt improvement in my performance. Yafet T. 4Life DistributorLos Angeles, California
My previous job required me to travel quite a bit. I essentially would get sick in September and be sick until March, off and on. I have been taking 4Life Transfer Factor Plus for the past three years. This has been nothing but good for me. I can’t believe the difference in the way I feel. Rick C. 4Life DistributorChillicothe, OH
My son is six years old and his immune system has always been very weak. We tried numerous natural products, such as homeopathic remedies, echinacea, and other various herbs, but it was always the same situation. Since he started taking 4Life Transfer Factor Kids in the end of June 2001, I’ve seen tremendous results. I know that his health has greatly improved since taking 4Life Transfer Factor.Terri Girdner

Neither TF nor TF+ has been tested to see if it would effect the immune system in such a way as to encourage an immune reaction of rejecting the new transplanted organ. Theoretically there could be a problem especially with TF+ which may boost the immune system.

1. "I was cutting some chicken and I cut my finger, and I cut it very badly where it did need even a couple of stitches, but I just did a butterfly stitch myself. In the middle of the night I woke up in stabbing pain, went downstairs, and saw that the finger was about two times its normal size, very well infected and inflamed. I took transfer factors. I did it again in the morning and then went to work and came home, and when I unwrapped that finger it was rather amazing. It's almost unbelievable for me to say that, in fact, the finger was reduced in its size, the inflammation had gone down, it was obviously doing better, then within the next couple of days it entirely cleared up. Transfer factors are the answer and I'm very, very grateful for this company and for the doctors who have done the studies and research behind it." June F

2. "My daughter, Paige, recently received a 1.5 inch cut along the side of her big toe. She received stitches and had quite a bit of swelling. We were treating it with your typical neosporin and Band-Aids, but after a few days it seemed that it was not healing properly. There were areas of the cut that were absolutely not getting better. My friend had previously been using TF RenewAll and asked me if I would like to use it for my daughter’s toe. I was surprised and delighted, that after only two days of use with TF RenewAll, her wound had completely closed up, and looked very well. We truly have a great line of products with 4Life." Maria

4. "I sincerely feel that transfer factors have changed my life. One of the most amazing things that I have had with the transfer factors are using them not only internally but the topical results that I've had. I do food demonstrations a great deal and I had worn and broken a terrible blister on my finger. I came home after doing about 1500 ice cream cones in a eight hour period. When I got home, I could hardly move my hand. I went into the bathroom, wet my finger, put the stuff from two different capsules of the transfer factors on my finger, wrapped up, put the band-aids on and because I was so exhausted went directly to bed. When I got up in the morning my hand was ok. I think that is just such an amazing thing. I've used it several times because if I do a lot of cooking, I seem to gouge myself or cut my fingers and things. I've been using it that way, topically. I have heard of people using the transfer factors powder out of the capsules with Vitamin E and Aloe and putting them together. So I am fixing up a little container of that to have and I think this is going to be something that is going to help all of us with the healing part of it." Katie B.

5. "About two weeks ago I brought a friend on as a Diamond Distributor with us and, of course, he got right on transfer factors. I saw Bob and I asked him, "Any results?" He began to roll back his shirt sleeves and he said, "Kevin, have you ever noticed my arms?" He has scabs and open sore wounds all over his arms. As he was rolling his shirt sleeves back he said, "You know, I've seen dermatologist after dermatologist, doctor after doctor. Nobody knows exactly what this is. They tell me it's viral in base, but they've never been able to do anything about it." As his sleeves rolled back I saw that they had gone from open wounds to blemishes in a seven to ten day period. If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I'm not quite sure I'd believe it. It was a real testament to the fact that we have a very, very powerful product on our hands." Kevin O' Conner

7. "My wife Esther is 80 years young. For the past several years she has complained about her aching knee joints. Our son told us about Flex4Life and grape seed extract; She tried them along with Transfer Factor. Her joints feel better, and the pain in her knees have reduced to about one third of what it was."

8. "My mother, who is 83, was suffering from frequent boils on different areas of her body, but especially on her arms. I started her on enhanced transfer factors, 2 per day, and transfer factors at 6 per day. The problem went away, and after a month she stopped taking the enhanced transfer factors. Things seemed to be stabilized for a period of several months, then she started having boils again. I couldn't figure this out until I was informed that her transfer factors dosage had been cut to about 2 per day for two or three weeks. I got on her case, and she started taking 6 per day once again. Now she is once again free of boils, and will not go off transfer factors ever! I explained to her that as we age, our immune system tends to weaken, and it needs more support. Thanks for the wonderful products!" Jackie Benson

10. "I have fought acne for years. I have been using TF RenewAll on my face for the past few months. It works great. It clears my face in a few weeks. When I stop using it, my acne comes back.

After getting transfer factors, I immediately started taking it. Within three days, I had a tremendous appetite. The next day, I was on top of the world. I gained those 15 pounds back within three weeks after starting on transfer factors." Denton B.

12. "Back in the '70s and 80's I was a serious marathoner. In preparing for the race on marathon day it was customary to rub copious amounts of Vaseline on my feet and toes to minimize the blisters which inevitably occur. About ten years ago I developed a serious fungus in my toe-nails. Nothing would help it. After one month on transfer factors, my once thick toe-nails are reduced in thickness by at least one half. Is there no end to what transfer factors can accomplish?" Charles Kowalski

I doubled up my dose of transfer factors that day and the next day. Within 48 hours from the start of the infection it had resolved itself and I was up and around -- which is absolutely amazing for me, and not at all my pattern." Rita Elkins

19. "I've done a lot of networking with a lot of nutritional companies and had some success and some not so good success. I was ready to quit and my husband said no. He's not a networker, but he's a good supporter. I love the product and I think we've found a home. The transfer factors, because we are fairly healthy, has helped us from getting sick. I got the flu and thought I wanted to die. Ten hours and 20 enhanced transfer factor's later and I was fine. I made Presidential Diamond in my first month and I'm looking forward to International. All of you, get out there and share this with everyone, because everybody needs it!" Linda B.

20. "Just before Christmas I had run out of all my usual nutritional supplements and was wearing myself out with holiday preparations. I eventually came down with a sore throat and chest cold that led into a bronchial infection with colored mucous. My chest really hurt and I was coughing stuff up a lot. I was about ready to get some antibiotics or something, when a bright yellow postcard appeared in the mail. I saw the words "transfer factors" on it. I had heard of transfer factors before but had no idea what they were. I was curious, so I called the hotline and listened and then ordered free information. I ordered transfer factors immediately upon reading the information that was sent to me. Within 24 hours I was feeling 90% better and in 48 hours you would have never known I had been ill. My son was starting to cough and his nose was running so I began him on the transfer factors. He never did get sick, despite the holiday indulgences and lack of sleep.When my dad arrived for the holidays he informed me his ulcer had been bothering him for quite some time and he wasn't feeling all that great. I gave him a couple of transfer factors 3 different times and by the second day he said to me, "I haven't felt this good in months! What is this stuff?" My husband has had an enlarged prostate for around 5 years. He has had frequent and painful urination with urgency. His PSA has stayed normal, but we are nevertheless concerned. After all the holiday treats and lack of sleep, his prostate condition worsened more than ever. He was in great pain and would spend 20 minutes urinating. He began taking transfer factors and within 24 hours was getting some slight relief from the symptoms, and he knew he was going in the right direction. With each passing day he has improved tremendously and now after 2 weeks, he feels like a new man. Urination is painless, steady and he sleeps through the night. He hasn't felt this good in 5 years. We are hoping for a complete normalization of this 5 year condition." Debra Jenkins

21. "I have some major health concerns and I wondered how I would know when and actually if transfer factors were kicking in. It didn't take long. The day my first order from this company came, I had a "shoot me" of a cold blossoming. The thing is my colds always turn in to bronchitis. I was really prepared for the initial feat. I started the transfer factors and three days later, every cough and sniffle was absolutely gone and I was totally amazed. The other thing that happened was, I had a hole in my face, and now, I know this sounds strange, but it's the best way I can describe what a cosmetologist did to my cheek, 23 years ago. About every two weeks, I would have to do my ritual cleaning and poking around so the spot wouldn't get infected. It was actually a 5mm hole. Well, about two weeks ago I got all of my stuff together getting ready for my ritual and I got my magnifying mirror and know what, that hole was gone. This is after twenty-three years. That hole was gone! You know, I always was one who caught every bug coming down the tide. I realize now that it wasn't that I was born under some sort of a cloud. Now I see and now I know it was because my immune system just never had the "umph" to protect me effectively. Now, this is the first time I am really hopeful that one day I am going to be able to say that my long standing health issues are finally dissolved. And until then, I'm going to tell the rest of the world about 4Life and transfer factors." Rebecca N.

22. "I had ignored a cold for over 2 months and it was getting worse and worse. I was totally exhausted and for me, that is not a normal way of life. I was introduced to transfer factors.

23. "Here's my personal testimony on the benefits of TF Immune Spray. I work in a health care setting, around sick people all day long. I keep the spray with me at all times so I can give myself an 'immune shot' when needed. About 2 weeks ago, felt myself weakening, scratchy throat, all the symptoms of flu coming on. Gave myself an extra few sprays on back of throat, the next day I was back at work feeling fine, no flu-like symptoms. Also, I've noticed since using this product for the past 2 mos., I no longer get those mouth ulcers which frequently plague me. Hopefully, these are now a thing of the past. I am certainly grateful to 4 Life for introducing such an outstanding way to take transfer factors. We have not scratched the surface on the potential uses of this one product alone." Steve

24. "This past winter the flu was going through everyone at my workplace. Most of them were miserable for two weeks and missed at least one day of work because of it.

My symptoms lasted a total of four days and I missed no work." H. S. 4Life Distributor

26. "I am so thankful for transfer factors. My little boy has suffered from a fever from unknown origins for several years. He was given ever known medical test and the cause could not be found. He would get colds that would last for weeks or even months. I put him on transfer factors for two days and the fever left. The only time he has had a fever since then was when we ran out of transfer factors. He does not stay sick for long periods with a cold any more. He will get a cold once and a while but in a couple days it is gone. This product has changed our lives in a very special way." Kevin Donaldson

28. "Last Wednesday I started to get another ear infection in my left ear. I get these stupid things about 4 or 5 times a year and they usually send me to the nearest clinic or emergency room about midnight. It seems to always happen at night and/or on a weekend. By 11P.M. the pain was going down my neck. Not good. When that happens I know I’m really “in for it” and am headed to the clinic - fast. It usually takes 2 to 3 days for the antibiotics they give me to get rid of it when it gets to this stage. I decided to “test” my new enhanced transfer factors with me as the guinea pig. I took 4 about 11Pm, got up at 3AM and took 4 more, got up at 7AM and took 4 more, got up at 10:30AM and took 4 more. Now that’s probably way too much but I was hurting and didn’t want to mess around. The pain began to subside, instead of increasing, by the time I got up at 7AM. It was much better by around 2PM Thursday afternoon." Jim Clary

32. "Ladies if you have problems around your monthly cycle you have to try the company's BioGenistein and FemRite. I have the mother of all PMS cycles. I have cramps like you cannot believe and very heavy flow. My mood swings are like out of orbit. I started taking BioGenistein a year ago and it really makes a major difference in all of my symptoms. It is like night and day. I cannot do without it. Occasionally I miss and "bam" it hits me like a Mack truck. BioGenistein brought me 90% relief. My emotions still seem to be more than they should of. I added FemRite and my emotions lined up with what is normal for me. Several ladies in my office at work have experienced similar results. I suggest that your ladies get some now. Your husbands and kids will love you for it." Pat

34. "After the birth of my first child, I started having PMS. Over the years, the symptoms became worse and worse until I was experiencing three weeks of PMS every month. I tried another wild yam creme, which was able to get rid of most of my symptoms. Then, I started on the FemRite creme and I could tell the difference right away. I will not go to bed or get up in the morning without it." Debra H.

35. "I was sick for many years, and I know herbs helped me to get back to life. However, my immune system was still down, and I had a severe infection in my gums that I could never get rid of. I heard two people talking about transfer factors. It interested me, but I didn't think any more about it until one of them called and we were talking about it. Then another called me, and that's when I really got interested. I listened to the 800-number, then I called her back and said I wanted to get transfer factors for myself. When my product came in I took five that afternoon, then I took two more that night before I went to bed. Well, the next day I took five and two, but I had already begun to feel better. The third day my gum infection was gone." Carmen Prevatte

36. "The first time I took enhanced transfer factors, I had a badly infected tooth or gum. My jaw was swollen with inflammation, and the pain was severe. I took six (2 three times) the first day, and the next day I was ecstatic at the improvement. Finding myself with no symptoms after just two days on the product, I was spared a dreaded visit to the dentist. What a thrill to have something so wonderfully effective! Quite amazing actually. Judging by all the other dramatic testimonials I’ve read, this has to be the most eloquent natural product out there!" Dusty Dalton

37. "For the past fifteen years I have suffered from chronic bronchitis, regular sinus infections, and severe allergies. I suffered from fatigue, migraine headaches, joint pain, and an overall weakening. After eight months transfer factors, I am a new person. I feel like transfer factors saved my life. I tried every nutrient that I could find, but only transfer factors made the difference." Naomi Jackson, Kansas

38. "My partner Barbara and I have worked for 4 years with herbs & vitamins to restore my health. Transfer factors have done that in less than 3 months! Over the past 4 years, I have experienced chronic bronchitis, sinus infections, and other conditions. I take every herb or vitamin I can get a hold of to build up my immune system. In the last 6 months, I have been on antibiotics 4-6 times with sinus infections. I started taking 6-9 transfer factors a day. Within 3 days I started breathing better than I had for 4 years. Transfer factors are the only thing that has been able to bring my energy level back up to where it used to be." Julie C.

39. "I suffered with severe allergy symptoms for 8 years. Anytime there was a high pollen count I would experience swelling, itchy, red eyes, and terrible sneezing fits. I originally began taking transfer factors to boost my immune system because I had an infection. Transfer factors also balance the immune system. I took 15 per day for the first three days, then 7 per day after that. Within 10 days, I felt great. I have not experienced symptoms from my allergies for 15 months. I maintain a dose of only three per day." Chris M.

40. "I have suffered from severe allergies for years. My allergist placed me on allergy shots and I took Claritin. After two years the shots were not accomplishing what my allergist had intended. I began to consume transfer factors. My allergist noticed a major drop in my blood markers for allergies. He ask me what I was doing. I told him about transfer factors. He decided to do a short clinical study on me. He told me to go off everything for three months. At the end of three months he placed me on nine capsules of transfer factors for six months. At the end of six months he was astounded and made the comment, 'it is like you don’t even have allergies'." Bettina

41. "For over 30 years I have suffered from chronic sinus infections, ear infections and allergies. The doctors gave me everything and I have taken every over the counter product, nothing helped. These few months were so bad that my jaw hurt. About two years ago I developed arthritis in both pinkies and the joints swelled. There was also fluid coming out of one of the joints causing a permanent blister and it was painful. The doctors said all they could do was operate and maybe it would help. I said " no thank you, I wasn't going to have my fingers sliced on a maybe. I like my fingers" Two weeks ago I started on the Transfer Factor, Transfer Factor Plus and Transfer Factor Cardio. I was amazed to see that after only such a short time the pain in my ears is gone, my sinus infections are gone and my are allergies gone. No more waking up coughing and with severe pain in my head and nose. That's not all, the joints in my fingers are almost back to normal size, no more pain and the fluid is no longer coming out, in fact it is drying up. I have taken many other products in the past but I have never seen anything as powerful as these. Thank you Mike and Thank you 4 life for bringing them to me. Thank GOD my wife is healthy and I have started her on all the products to keep her that way. The world must know about these products. I believe they will save lives and help so many suffering people, My mission is to tell everyone. Thank you again!" Ed Bernstein

42. "I am so thankful for enhanced transfer factors. I have suffered from sinus infections and bronchitis for at least a dozen years. I have been on antibiotics and taken every nutrient I could find. I received a postcard in the mail and read a Naomi's testimony. I couldn't wait to try this product. After I received my product it wasn't more than a couple weeks before I was feeling better. Now for a couple months, I have felt better than I had in many years." Marsha Miles

43. "I listened to the information a friend gave me about transfer factors because my seven year-old daughter has had numerous sinus and ear infections during her life usually using an antibiotic at least 4-5 times a year. The last time she was sick prior to starting the transfer factors it took two antibiotics to actually clear up her infection. I decided to buy a bottle and just keep it on hand, but hadn't given it to her yet. About 3-4 days after I got the bottle she woke up from a nap with a high fever, 103°, and her ear was hurting. I had drops for her ear for the pain so I did put those in, and I gave her five of the transfer factors mixed in with a little grape juice since she doesn't swallow capsules well. She went back to sleep and about four hours later she woke up, and I repeated it giving her five more in some juice. She slept some more heading into the night. By morning when she woke up her fever was gone and she was feeling fine. She actually went to her little summer camp program that afternoon." JoLynn Carr

44. "As you know, I have only started with the company products about four weeks ago. I started the products with really no hope or expectations whatsoever. My results have been absolutely amazing. My symptoms are basically three fold. The first being Parkinson's disease. The second being degenerative disc disease in my back and third chronic sinus with sinus infection and that type of thing. In three days I noticed a difference in my overall health. I could tell something was working. I wasn't having to use over the counter decongestants and that type of thing. Much to my surprise within a week or so, I noticed a tremendous difference in my Parkinson's symptoms, which I never had any expectations for whatsoever. Again, this includes symptoms like pain, sleeplessness, and obviously with mine I had tremors. I could go on and on, but I have now in a four week period come to a point where I could honestly say am at a 95 percent ratio. I think these results are phenomenal given the time frame. I'm sleeping at night. I have very little cramping whatsoever. The tremors are almost nonexistent at this point, which I think is fascinating. I have quit seeing the neurologist that I was going to, and a week or so ago I stopped taking the medication prescribed to me. This has all come to an end and I am only taking the enhanced transfer factors and the Fibro AMJ, Day and Nighttime. These are the only things I'm on and the results are incredible." Scott M.

Doctor Testimonies
The following information has not been evaluated by the FDA or by our company. We do not claim that our products directly prevent, or cure any disease. We do not suggest that anyone should replace traditional medical treatment with our products. Our company's products are promoted for their ability to enhance the effectiveness of our natural immune system functions. On this website you will be exposed to many testimonies and nutritional ideas. We encourage you to use common sense and prudence in evaluating testimonies, research, and the opinions of individuals who post on this board. Testimonies can be based on "placebo effects," which basically means that you can experience temporary results just because you really believe you will get better. “Placebo” results generally fade a way after a short period. Keep in mind that some of these statements and testimonies come from distributors of these products and may have a conflict of interest. The accuracy of each testimony has not been verified by Professional Networkers.
Research can be complicated to translate into real life situations. The positive results achieved in the short term through in vitro and in vivo studies do not take into account long-term side effects, which could be positive or negative. There are herbs and nutrients that can be harmful if consumed in large dosages such as vitamin A. When consuming nutrients with medical drugs you should check with a pharmacist for possible drug interaction problems. Occasionally we have medical doctors visit our board and share their opinions and experiences. Although, we believe these medical professionals are sincere, keep in mind that even medical doctors may disagree on certain subjects. It is our desire to expose you to many different ideas for your consideration. Our focus is on supporting the immune system, which can assist your body in staying healthy. The testimonies and information on this website only represent the opinions of the individuals involved. We encourage you to use common sense in your expectations in consuming any nutritional product.
The immune system is one of our defenses against disease. The immune system is the body’s actual agent involved in healing or recovering from an illness. There are nutrients that we believe can support proper immune functions. It is not our intent to indicate that nutrition can always cause the immune system to prevent all illness or any particular illness. Nor, is it our intent to indicate that nutrition can always cause the immune system to heal us when we are ill. However, we do believe that research indicates nutrition is important for a healthy and responsive immune system. There is an abundance of research taking place throughout the world on nutrition and its effect on our health. There is a great deal of conflicting opinions and research. We live in an exciting time and many of us want to benefit from all of the breakthrough research going on. At the same time we want to be wise in our approach to healthcare. On this website we attempt to provide educational information through studies, opinions and testimonies that will provide you with a variety of perspectives for you consideration. Professional Networkers do not necessarily endorse any particular perspective other than what is shared by Mike Akins himself.

Curriculum VitaeI have seen first hand, the deadly consequences of the emergence of flesh-eating super-germs, now resistant to most of the antibiotics which were once successfully used against them. The abuse, unnecessary use and overuse of antibiotics over the years, have contributed to this life threatening development. Many infections and illnesses, including cancer, develop because of immune system failure, resulting from many day to day factors, several of which are preventable. One thing we can all do however, is to boost our immune system to help protect, defend and help our body to heal itself. I have listened to the testimonials of several healthy as well as health challenged individuals, who have used the Transfer Factors™ and other 4Life Research™ products. Their stories and the dramatic improvement in the quality of their lives generate excitement. I believe that 4LifeTransfer Factor™ and Transfer Factor Plus™ are true immune system modulators. I have decided not only to use 4Life Research™ products, but also to tell others about them.Magnus 'T. ibn Ale, M.D., C.M.

"A while ago I came down with a summer cold. I got a runny nose and a sore throat, and then my next order of transfer factor arrived. I decided I would take nothing else. In a 24-hour time period I felt great! I had no symptoms. It was like I'd never had a cold. It was very exciting for me to experience that firsthand. Quite frankly, I've never had an immune boosting experience like I had with transfer factor. It's just remarkable. I think every chiropractor should know about this product and I think people should be telling their friends about this. If for no other reason you should have it in your medicine chest for when you need a immune system boost or modulation."Dr. Gary Haagen Disclaimer: Neither Mike Akins nor Professional Networkers can confirm this testimony as being truthful or accurate.

"The immune system is an important aspect of bringing balance to the body, and specifically, to someone who has autism. Transfer factors can be very effective because they have been shown to both boost and suppress the immune system.

"As a medical professional and pharmacist, I have been exposed to a great number of medical drugs and nutrients. I am convinced that the benefits produced by transfer factor and transfer factor plus far exceed any substance that I have ever been exposed to. I have assumed the mission to take this to the world. Everyone should be on these products."Bob Kononiuk R.Ph.

Not only you as an adult, but also your children and pets. And it's safe. I have not documented one single side effect related to the use of transfer factor."Vivienne Matalon, M.D.
"In my 43 years of medical practice I have never come across any pharmaceutical or nutriceutical products like Transfer Factor that can help people to get well and stay well. Because my friends and relatives are getting positive responses from Transfer Factor products, I have committed myself to share Transfer Factor with everyone, everywhere.

"I have had diabetes for 38 of my 49 years and I've had kidney disease since 1986. In August of 1999, I went for my quarterly blood test for my kidneys. The physician called me after the test was taken and said, "Not only are your kidneys functioning well, after fourteen years, their function has improved dramatically." My BUN (blood urea nitrogen) was near normal after fourteen years of it being almost twice as high as it should be because my kidneys weren't filtering well. The only supplemental change in my life was transfer factor. Only once in my life did I endorse a product. I've been on an insulin pump for seven years, and I've allowed my name, face, and testimony to be used nationally. This is the second time, and it took alot to convince me. Not only are my kidneys working great, but this is the first year in sixteen years that I haven't gotten a flu shot or gotten the flu or bronchitis"Marc H. Blatstein

Veterinary Medicine has been my profession and career for over 30 years. I became a large animal veterinarian because of my interests in the cattle industry. Horses and small animals comprised about 20% of my "James Harriet-like" practice. Then, after 4 years of doing what was most important to me, an allergy to cattle popped up. The symptoms were indigestion, intense itching and inflammation anytime I came in contact with the bovine species or tried to eat beef, even to the point of not tolerating dairy products. It was serious enough that I had to leave the practice that I loved and change directions. I returned to Colorado State University, my alma mater, and studied pathology in graduate school. I returned to practice, which at first was one hundred percent small animal. I learned not to make "never" claims because I had told my classmates "I will never spend my time working on poodles". Having recovered from the cattle allergies, I began to once again do some large animal practice.
The road to recovery and healing was long-term which included digging into the literature and finding dietary and supplement applications which worked. It took about seven years to total recovery. My practice interests became more and more, disease prevention and wellness. I saw how nutrition made a great difference and was often more effective than traditional medical approaches. Then I was introduced to Transfer Factor, developed by 4-Life Research, from a colleague. I have found that the results of using these products did more in a few hours or a few days than traditional medicine alone. This became the next step for me in working in nutrition, disease prevention and wellness.
A couple of my colleagues presented these products at the American Association of Equine Practitioners meeting in Texas. There was an opportunity here, I found, not only to build a consultation type practice but also to develop some very good income. 4-Life Research is a very impressive and professional company. They developed Immune System products first for humans and then for animals. I found they were very effective and also offered an income opportunity.
But how do you go about building a network marketing business? I became acquainted with Mike Akins who introduced me to the support organization he had developed. The name of his company is Professional Networkers. I checked the website and found all the answers and help you could ever need. Professional Networkers support system is complete; it includes everything, including a staff of over 36 people professionally trained to work with you and me.

“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.
A Cure For My Canker Sores
Transfer factor was the ONLY thing that helped me get rid of persistent canker sores that had plagued me since taking antibiotics as a child. It's a remarkable natural product that doctors should be using and aren't. A transfer factor is a stellar polypeptide which was discovered around 55 years ago. There are scores of studies on transfer factor and its ability to boost immune function. Countless trials describe how it has been used for a whole host of problems which involve the immune system.
[ Back to Top ][ Back to Prevention Main Page ]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.
[ Back to Top ][ Back to Prevention Main Page ]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.
My Introduction to 4Life Research
When I lost my original source of transfer factor to a network marketing company, I was disappointed, to say the least. I was less than enthralled with multi-level companies whose modus operandi was often “sell products at any cost and results be damned.” When I met, however, with the principles of a company called 4Life Research located in Sandy, Utah, I became impressed by their emphasis on scientific support.
Not only did they want to back transfer factor with their name and reputation, they also saw the health potential of genistein as well. After much interaction and input, I became convinced that these were people with integrity and sound scientific support for their product development. More importantly. I believed that their concern for impacting individual health was sincere. However, I wish to state that I do not “do” network marketing and serve primarily as a consultant to the company. They understand my role and permit me to provide my patients with selected products.
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."
[ Back to Top ][ Back to Prevention Main Page ]Transfer Factor: From My Personal Notes
My 15 year old daughter was diagnosed with juvenile arthritis when she was eleven. Prior to the diagnosis, she had been suffering with swollen and extremely tender thumb joints. This had been going on for some time before she brought it to the attention of her mother and I. When I examined her joints and noted their condition, my heart sank. I knew immediately that it was arthritis.
Her mother promptly took her to our pediatrician, who confirmed the diagnosis and referred her to a pediatric rheumatologist at the University of Utah who specializes in childhood arthritis. There are less than fifty such specialists in the United States. He too confirmed the diagnosis and suggested we give our daughter a very powerful anti-inflammatory drug. The side effects of this drug in adults are extensive — so what would it do to our eleven year old daughter?
I consulted with another pediatrician who had been using transfer factor in his patients. He suggested that we give her six capsules a day plus a capsule of a special joint medication also manufactured by 4Life. Within six weeks, our daughter was pain-free and her swelling had dramatically decreased.
Well, she’s a teenager now and isn’t nearly as diligent in taking the immune-modifying supplement plan we had designed for her years ago. She still experiences a little swelling and an occasional twinge of pain in her thumbs, and once in a while, one of her knee joints will swell after vigorous exercise. Still, the improvement is remarkable and she did it without going on harsh drug therapy. She plans to go out for the volleyball team next spring and wants to take up tennis. In the winter, she snowboards and has no problem recovering from its inevitable spills.
You have no idea how thankful my wife and I are for transfer factor. Since becoming acquainted with it over 8 years ago, I’ve placed hundreds of individuals on TF. The results continue to be nothing short of spectacular.
TF and The Yeast Wars
Vickie was a 38 year old patient who had been treated with antibiotics for recurrent bladder infections and now had to deal with a severe yeast infection of the vagina (sound familiar?) I suggested a course of transfer factor and acidification. Her response to the treatment was dramatic. When I saw her three months later, she remarked that this was the first time in years that she had been free of both bladder and vaginal yeast infections. Of equal importance — she had not taken any antibiotics for three months. I suggested that she come back and see us in 6 months. Unexpectedly, she returned after only 4 months because she had run out of transfer factor! Three weeks after she stopped taking it, she developed sinusitis and was given an antibiotic by her physician. Within 5 days, she had a rip-roaring vaginal yeast infection that she controlled with the acidification protocol. However, within 20 days, she realized that she was getting another bladder infection — hence the office visit. I put her back on TF, and within a few days, she was feeling fine. Since this episode, Vickie has not been without TF for over 3 years and has been free of bladder infections, sinus infections, and vaginal yeast infections.
The Chicken and The Egg
Recently, 4Life has developed very unique transfer factors that are extracted from chicken eggs. That’s right — eggs. As I mentioned earlier, all kinds of animals make transfer factors. By using extremely sophisticated methodology, scientists have been able to make “designer” transfer factor molecules in chicken eggs that target specific organisms. These products are now undergoing testing to determine what role they might have in medicine. Imagine a transfer factor molecule that works specifically against HIV or the West Nile Virus. The possibilities are endless but more testing is required before they can be made available to the public.
A Man in Montana
I came to know a man in Bozeman, Montana named Jim. He had multiple myeloma, a very serious and potentially fatal disease and was so incapacitated by the illness that he could barely walk. He took transfer factor combined with a variety of other immune-enhancing compounds (that I talk about below) and experienced a remarkable remission. Last I heard, Jim was climbing a local Montana mountain. While his cancer may return, the extraordinary effects seen with his immune-boosting protocol cannot be underestimated, or worse yet, unacknowledged.
[ Back to Top ][ Back to Prevention Main Page ]Compounds That Complement TF
While the immune-enhancing pathway that TF provides is unique, the addition of certain compounds can create a potent, multifaceted approach to immune defense building. The following natural substances have proven immune-boosting actions and work in tandem with the actions of TF molecules through different pathways.
Echinacea: Echinacea stimulates the production of immune natural killer cells and destroys a broad range of disease-causing bacteria. Echinacea can be a boon to elderly individuals who are particularly susceptible to bacterial infections. A new study conducted by scientists at McGill University in Montreal, Canada showed that two weeks of supplementation with echinacea rejuvenated the production and action of immune killer cells even in animals of advanced age. In addition, several other studies have concluded that echinacea taken orally stimulates the function of a variety of immune cells, particularly natural killer cells.
Cordyceps Sinensis: This fungal botanical medicine has been tested in over 2000 subjects. It works to enhance a variety of immune actions by boosting immune chemicals such as interleukin-1 and 2 and boosting the count of helper-T and NK natural killer cells to fortify and expand the immune systems ability to respond to invaders (infectious, carcinogenic etc). Of equal importance in that Cordyceps also suppresses inappropriate immune reactions as seen in autoimmune diseases and has anti-tumor properties as well.
Beta-Glucans: These complex sugars (polysaccharides) are found in astragalus, maitake and coriolus mushrooms have the unique ability to act as “immunomodulators.” They are currently being researched for their potential role in AIDS and cancer. New studies indicate that at the very least these compounds can prevent white blood cell numbers from falling in people given chemotherapy and radiotherapy, and work to elevate antibody levels in healthy persons. Betaglucans are considered the workhorse of the immune activating polysaccharides and are well absorbed when taken orally. They are currently under investigation as a supportive tool for HIV infection.
Mannans: Mannans (specifically acemannan) is a carbohydrate extracted from the gel of the aloe vera leaf. It is this compound which is thought to make aloe gel so healing for burns and other skin disorders. Studies show that acemannan increases the number and killing capacity of T-lymphocytes by almost 50 percent. It also has significant anti-tumor activity and can help prevent the replication of viruses in the body. Acemannan is one of a few plant extracts used in people with AIDS. Studies confirm that it has significant value for bacterial, viral, and fungal infections.
IP6: Also known as inositol hexaphosphate or phytic acid (IP6) this compounds is found in legumes and the bran portion of several grains. The reason that high fiber diets are considered anti-cancerous may be due to this very phytochemical. Several laboratory tests have confirmed that IP6 has impressive anti-cancer actions and in 1992, a patent was obtained to mix IP6 with inositol. IP6 is rapidly absorbed and is one of the most impressive anti-cancer compounds found in nature.
[ Back to Top ][ Back to Prevention Main Page ]Thymic Factors:The thymus gland produces a complex array of factors which work together to transform immature lymphocytes (white blood cells) into T-cells. Two decades ago, a key thymic protein was discovered and isolated. This protein actually programs T-4 helper cells in the immune system to seek out an invading pathogen and gives the go to T-8 killer cells to search and destroy disease organisms. A patented process has been developed to grow this specific protein for commercial use in supplement form. Glutamine: An amino acid called glutamine is important for immune system function. Liquid diets high in glutamine have been reported to help critically-ill people recover more rapidly. One double blind study giving athletes who were prone to respiratory infections glutamine reported 81%without subsequent infection compared to 49% in the placebo group.
Lactobacillus acidophilus: Helps replace friendly bacteria in the gastrointestinal tract which may help protect the body from potentially harmful organisms that reside in the intestine and can cause infection. Infectious diarrhea in children has been successfully reduced with acidophilus supplementation.
Zinc: Zinc supplements have been reported to considerable increase immune function. This effect may be especially important in the elderly who can easily become zinc deficient.
Vitamin A and Beta-carotene: Vitamin A plays an important role in immune system function and helps mucous membranes, including those in the lungs, resist invasion by microorganisms. Beta-carotene and other carotenoids boost immune cell numbers and activity in both animal and human research. Placebo-controlled research has confirmed the positive benefits of beta-carotene supplements in increasing numbers of some white blood cells and enhancing cancer-fighting immune functions.
Vitamin C: Vitamin C stimulates the immune system by enhancing interferon levels and boosting the activity of certain immune cells. In controlled reports studying people doing heavy exercise, cold frequency was reduced an average of 50% with vitamin C supplements ranging from 600–1,000 mg per day.
Vitamin E: Vitamin E enhances some aspects of immune cell activity especially in the elderly. A combination of antioxidant vitamins A, C, and E significantly improved immune cell number and activity compared to placebo in a group of hospitalized elderly.
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.

Clinical Study withTransfer FactorTM
Duane Townsend, M.D., Gynecologic Oncologist
Our medical practice has been collecting data for the past year for a variety of gynecologic conditions to determine what Transfer FactorTM and other 4LifeTM products could do for our patient's health. Each trial was observed for at least two months and most are ongoing.
Transfer FactorTM has been used with over 300 individuals (ages 2-80) with health conditions such as cancer, herpes, yeast, condyloma, arthritis, colds, sore throats, and lupus. When given triple the daily dose of Transfer FactorTM, all have noticed dramatic improvement in their health [time response varied according to seriousness of condition (most serious - 4 weeks or more)].
BioGenistein PlusTM and FemRiteTM were used by 81 women (ages: 42 - 75) with Menopausal symptoms. When given one BioGenistein PlusTM and FemRiteTM was applied twice daily: 45 were asymptomatic, 21 had mild hot flashes requiring some estrogen, 5 required daily estrogen doses (time response varied).
Other gynecologic problems treated/studied:Condition: Fibroid tumors in 7 women (ages 25-50)Dose: Usually one BioGenistein PlusTM and apply FemRiteTM twice daily.Results: 6 had shrinking tumors within 3-4 months.
Condition: 35 women with Pre-Menstrual SyndromeDose: Usually one BioGenistein PlusTM and apply FemRiteTM twice daily.Results: Symptoms controlled in 33 women (4 week time response).
Condition: 32 women with abnormal uterine bleedingDose: Usually one BioGenistein PlusTM and apply FemRiteTM twice daily.Results: 26 returned to normal (some had results immediately, others saw results by 4 - 6 weeks).
Other illnesses treated/studied:Condition: 57 patients with Fibromyalgia, arthritis, CFS (ages 40-50)Dose/Protocol: Special diet, no soft drinks or chocolate, exercise, 8 TF, 3 FibroAMJTM Day-Time and 1 Night-Time (if not on prescription sleep medication)Results: 55 have had major improvement (4 - 6 weeks time response)

A Pediatrician's Experience Using Transfer Factor with Children
by David Markowitz, M.D.
Transfer Factor Can and Does Make a Difference in their health!We have just finished a review of our first 12 months' Pediatric experience with Transfer Factor (and Transfer Factor Plus) from 4Life Research and the review confirms our initial feelings about the improvement in the health of our clients. 88 children who used Transfer Factor daily at the recommended doses for six or more months were compared to same aged and same sexed children who did not use Transfer Factor, and their illness and antibiotic use were compared. We found in this retrospective study a 74% reduction in reported illness and an 84% reduction in antibiotic use. Using any measure, these are very significant results.
No untoward reactions were reported. We have started to review the costs of the illness/antibiotic saved by the use of Transfer Factor. Initial results indicate over $25,000 saved in the user group in medical care, office visits, and drug costs. Again, these results are of major consequence and show that the use of Transfer Factor not only improves the health and quality of life for the child and his or her family, it makes sense economically. Soon we will be approaching Insurance Carriers to support the use of Transfer Factor in our patients. How could Transfer Factor change the health and quality of your child's life?
Healthier Kids Make Happier KidsAn experience with HIV: Kenny's StoryAn early success with Immune Boosting naturally in a young man with HIV. KG is a 20 year old with Hemophilia who contracted HIV many years ago from "dirty" clotting factors used to treat his Hemophilia. KG has been on many regimens for his HIV, including most recently (within the past year), an experimental regimen with no positive response. If anything, he suffered from many of the side effects of retroviral therapy. Five months ago, KG started a high dose regimen of Transfer Factor (3 caps 3 times daily) and Transfer Factor Plus (2 caps 3 times daily), concurrent with his experimental therapy. He has remained infectious disease free throughout his Transfer Factor boosting. He also came to us with very exciting news three weeks ago: he has a ZERO viral count and an increasing, now close to normal CD4 count of 475. Is Kenny out of the woods completely? No, but he is now well on his way to possibly being disease free. His next counts are scheduled for six weeks from now and we will keep all posted. Kenny is a peer counselor and educator for HIV/AIDS and he is now spreading the word about TF and TF+ to members of the AIDS community. He is also a 4LR distributor and hopes to build a huge sales organization of persons challenged with HIV and Hepatitis C. As such, he said that he would not have to deal with the prejudices against those infected with HIV: seems that 4LR may just give Kenny a NEW LIFE, on many different levels. The power of TF/TF+ and 4LR continues .......
TF and TF+ Support in Malignancy in ChildhoodID is an eleven year old with a complex leukemia history. He was diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia at age 2 with a relapse several years after chemotherapy. Next came a bone marrow transplant and THREE more relapses after the transplant. To add insult to injury, the last relapse was diagnosed as Acute Myeloblastic Leukemia, a VERY difficult cancer to treat. On to a very toxic course of chemotherapy and a slow definitive road to remission. ID was started on TF initially at month 5 of chemotherapy to help support his immune function and hopefully, reduce the chances of infectious complications. TF+ was added 2 months later. His oncologist (my medical partner) has been very pleased and impressed with the results. First, ID "breezed through his therapy" tolerating very low blood counts, with no febrile (or infectious) episodes, and always in very good spirits. When last seen in early 9/99, ID was "thriving" and continues in full remission, with no infectious disease, enjoying a full life as a vigorous 11 year school kid. The "way life should be". How has TF and TF+ impacted this young man? It most likely spared him the life-threatening complications of infectious disease. It apparently improved his tolerance of a very toxic course of chemotherapy. And it may be helping him in his daily immune fight against relapse and infectious stresses. Unquestionably, the fact that ID is alive is a miracle, one dictated by a "Higher Authority": The quality of his life may just be because of immune boosting with 4LR products... and his spirit and his will to live.
Hepatitis C and TF/TF+Kim is a 37 year old father of 4 children with advanced Hepatitis C, facing a long and expensive therapy with Interferon, a therapy fraught with many side effects. Kim decided to give the immune boosting capabilities of TF and TF+ a chance to aid his own body's abilities to fight off viral infection, before he started this Interferon. Although his results are still preliminary and very early, thus far Kim has had very encouraging results. After 4-5 months of fairly consistent use of TF and TF+, Kim's liver function tests have improved dramatically and at times are within normal limits. He FEELS so much better and the complicating factors of gastro-esophageal reflux (acid reflux) and constipation are now totally resolved. He has voluntarily stopped all of his reflux and bowel medications. His energy levels have increased and remain high, as long as he takes his immune boosters regularly. He too looks forward to sharing this experience with others with Hep C and the physicians who treat these challenged people. We wish Kim well in his goals of healing himself and others with 4LR.For more information about Dr. Markowitz, click

Doctors, Scientists and Medical Professionals on Transfer Factor (Continued)
This page contains more comments from Doctors, Scientists, Researchers and Medical Professionals on Transfer Factors.
Dr. Vivienne Matalon, M.D. - A Medical Doctor on Transfer Factor:
"Transfer factor is in the same class as the most potent vitamins. When do you need it? You need it all the time. And who needs it? Actually, everyone. Not only you as an adult, but also your children and pets. And it's safe. I have not documented one single side effect related to the use of transfer factor." Vivienne Matalon, M.D.
Dr. Ken Hansen, D.V.M. - A Doctor of Veterinary Medicine on Transfer Factor:
"Veterinary Medicine has been my profession and career for over 30 years. I became a large animal veterinarian because of my interests in the cattle industry. Horses and small animals comprised about 20% of my "James Harriet-like" practice.
Then, after 4 years of doing what was most important to me, an allergy to cattle popped up. The symptoms were indigestion, intense itching and inflammation anytime I came in contact with the bovine species or tried to eat beef, even to the point of not tolerating dairy products. It was serious enough that I had to leave the practice that I loved and change directions.
I returned to Colorado State University, my alma mater, and studied pathology in graduate school. I returned to practice, which at first was one hundred percent small animal. I learned not to make "never" claims because I had told my classmates "I will never spend my time working on poodles". Having recovered from the cattle allergies, I began to once again do some large animal practice.
The road to recovery and healing was long-term which included digging into the literature and finding dietary and supplement applications which worked. It took about seven years to total recovery. My practice interests became more and more, disease prevention and wellness. I saw how nutrition made a great difference and was often more effective than traditional medical approaches.
Then I was introduced to Transfer Factor, developed by 4-Life Research, from a colleague. I have found that the results of using these products did more in a few hours or a few days than traditional medicine alone. This became the next step for me in working in nutrition, disease prevention and wellness.
A couple of my colleagues presented these products at the American Association of Equine Practitioners meeting in Texas. There was an opportunity here, I found, not only to build a consultation type practice but also to develop some very good income. 4-Life Research is a very impressive and professional company. They developed Immune System products first for humans and then for animals. I found they were very effective..." Ken Hansen, Doctor of Veterinary Medicine
See what other Doctors of Veterinary Medicine have to say about Transfer Factors Dr. Richard Bennett, Ph.D. (Doctor of Philosophy) - Scientist and Infectious Disease Microbiologist & Immunologist on Transfer Factor:
"The immunity provided by transfer factor is long lived and can help all ages who are suffering from a variety of ailments or those who want to stay well." Richard Bennett, Ph.D.
Doctor Bennett is an Infectious Disease Microbiologist & Immunologist, who is enjoying retirement from a 21-year career with the University of California where he specialized in food and water quality and safety. He received his Doctorate in Comparative Pathology from the University of California, Davis. He has an extensive background in milk quality and disease control, water resource policy, food safety, public policy of natural resources, etc. He has also served as an advisor for the FDA and USDA.
See Research Studies on Transfer Factors done by Dr. Richard Bennett Dr. Gary Haagen - Doctor of Chiropractic Medicine on Transfer Factor:
"A while ago I came down with a summer cold. I got a runny nose and a sore throat, and then my next order of transfer factor arrived. I decided I would take nothing else. In a 24-hour time period I felt great! I had no symptoms. It was like I'd never had a cold. It was very exciting for me to experience that firsthand. Quite frankly, I've never had an immune boosting experience like I had with transfer factor. It's just remarkable. I think every chiropractor should know about this product and I think people should be telling their friends about this. If for no other reason you should have it in your medicine chest for when you need a immune system boost or modulation." Doctor Gary Haagen
Dr. William Hennen, Ph.D.(Doctor of Philosophy)- Biochemist and Researcher in Drug Design and Development on Transfer Factor:
"Transfer factor's are the most exciting discovery in immunology. As the 21st century unfolds, transfer factor will be one of our greatest keys to health and well being." William Hennen, Ph.D.
Dr. Hennen, Vice President of Research and Development at 4Life Research, is a biochemist with thirteen years of experience as a researcher in drug design and development. He also worked for eight years as a consultant and research director in the nutritional supplement industry.
Transfer Factor Natural Immune Booster By William J. Hennen Ph.D. Bob Kononiuk R.Ph. - Pharmacist on Transfer Factor
"As a medical professional and pharmacist, I have been exposed to a great number of medical drugs and nutrients. I am convinced that the benefits produced by transfer factor and transfer factor plus far exceed any substance that I have ever been exposed to. I have assumed the mission to take this to the world. Everyone should be on these products." Bob Kononiuk R.Ph.
Suzette Lawrence, CNM on Transfer Factor:
"When infants are nursed they are 17 times less likely to become seriously ill. Today we understand the science behind this dramatic display of wellness. We understand that the newborn's immune system is jump started with mom's immune history via her transfer factors. Transfer factor is our tool to jumpstart our immune systems." Suzette Lawrence, CNM
Doctor Calvin McCausland - Researcher on Transfer Factor:
"Our company (4Life Research) has proven itself to be a company that provides sound dietary supplements, in keeping with the latest research. This commitment to providing revolutionary natural products is one that I am excited to help develop. I am particularly struck with the potential that exists for the transfer factor. Transfer factor is today where vitamins and herbs were 15 years ago." Dr. Calvin McCausland
Dr. McCausland has 22 years of experience in the nutritional supplement industries. During that time, he supervised the creation or reformulation of over 350 supplements. He is an internationally known lecturer and has visited 53 countries in the world.
In October 1997 Dr. McCausland became the first and only American to be elected a member and academician in the Russian Academy of Medical and Technical Science. In March of 1999 he was awarded the national Kosigen award. The award recognizes the most significant contribution that will impact the future economy of Russia in the areas of science and medicine.
Treating Chronically Ill Patients with Transfer Factor - Dr. Carol Ann Ryser, M.D.Treating Chronically Ill Patients with Transfer Factor - An Interview with Doctor Carol Ann Ryser, M.D. - (excerpt)
Since 1998, Doctor Carol Ann Ryser has been using Transfer Factor to treat her chronically ill patients, and has experienced considerable success in diminishing symptoms and achieving overall health improvements among those patients. In this interview, Doctor Ryser discusses her experience with Transfer Factor as an effective treatment for chronic illness.
Doctor Ryser: "The diagnosis of a patient is of utmost importance. I perform a series of genetic testing with PCR (Polymer Chain Reaction) that tells me the specific bacteria or virus(es) a patient has. Transfer Factor helps with viral, bacterial, and fungal infections as well as parasites, and supports the immune system while treating the problems a patient has. Regarding what formulas of Transfer Factor I use for different patients, I use the plain Transfer Factor as a general prevention treatment, especially for infections and allergies and for patients with Epstein-Barr, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome."
Q: How much Transfer Factor do you typically recommend, and for what kind of patient?
Doctor Ryser: "For chronically ill patients, including those with chronic sinusitis, and multiple allergies, I recommend six capsules a day, and depending on the severity of their symptoms, I might recommend up to twelve capsules a day. For children ages 7-12 or 13, depending on weight, I will recommend two capsules a day, to be taken at bedtime.
When a patient is beginning to get sick and is coming down with a fever, I will have them take two capsules every 2-3 hours, for 24 hours, and that usually knocks the virus "off its socks," so to speak. This dosage of Transfer Factor can nip a fever in the bud, by supporting the immune system’s natural killer cells.
I also treat fibromyalgia patients with Transfer Factor. I believe that fibromyalgia is most commonly caused by infections, including bacteria, yeast, and parasites. For chronically ill patients dealing with multiple infections, including CNS (Central Nervous System) infections and gastrointestinal infections, I recommend several different Transfer Factor formulas, to be taken together."
Q.: How long does it usually take for a patient to experience positive results once they start taking Transfer Factor?
Doctor Ryser: "My patients usually start to feel better within 3-6 months of beginning treatment with Transfer Factor. Dramatic results usually manifest in about one year, but we really begin to see positive changes in 5-6 months. It typically takes about a year of Transfer Factor treatment to really turn a patient around. I am specifically referring to chronically ill patients who have an average of 2-7 chronic infections that require treatment. The body’s cells regenerate every six months, and you need to give the body a chance to generate healthy cells before dramatic improvements in a patient’s overall health can emerge."
Q.: What, if any, are the side effects or possible negative reactions that can occur with Transfer Factor therapy?
Doctor Ryser: "The initial reactions to Transfer Factor a patient will experience are similar to a vaccination – but without, of course, exposure to the pathogen. The initial reaction typically includes flu-like symptoms, proportionate to the severity of a patient’s illness. These flu-like symptoms go away, but they prove that the immune system has been activated, and that it is working to suppress the body’s infections.
Regarding the safety of Transfer Factor, I have never had a problem with negative side effects or adverse reactions. However, I am very cautious. I perform careful evaluations of a patient’s immune system. I check for viral leukemia, and so forth. I am very careful with cancer and autoimmune patients, with whom you must be cautious with regard to stimulating immune cells – this is particularly the case with Hodgkins Disease and Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma patients."
Q.: What have you found to be the most positive benefits of Transfer Factor for your Chronic Fatigue Syndrome patients – what are the best results you have seen?
Doctor Ryser: "The patient stops getting sick, and they don’t have any more infections. Their cognitive thinking clears up – no more brain fog. Their energy comes back – they can start doing more, and they can start walking and exercising again. They don’t suffer relapses. However, when a patient is doing well and they make the personal decision to stop taking Transfer Factor, I have seen relapses. I strongly recommend that a patient takes Transfer Factor for life – that is, it is a lifetime commitment for my chronically ill patients."

Marc H. Blatstein - Former President of the Philadelphia Chapter of the Juvenile Diabetes Foundation on Transfer Factor:
"I have had diabetes for 38 of my 49 years and I've had kidney disease since 1986. In August of 1999, I went for my quarterly blood test for my kidneys. The physician called me after the test was taken and said, "Not only are your kidneys functioning well, after fourteen years, their function has improved dramatically." My BUN (blood urea nitrogen) was near normal after fourteen years of it being almost twice as high as it should be because my kidneys weren't filtering well. The only supplemental change in my life was transfer factor. Only once in my life did I endorse a product. I've been on an insulin pump for seven years, and I've allowed my name, face, and testimony to be used nationally. This is the second time, and it took alot to convince me. Not only are my kidneys working great, but this is the first year in sixteen years that I haven't gotten a flu shot or gotten the flu or bronchitis" Marc H. Blatstein
Marc H. Blatstein is the Former President of the Philadelphia Chapter of the Juvenile Diabetes Foundation.
June Ferrari, ND, CNC on Transfer Factor:
"Transfer factor is the gift from nature that supplies the essential tools for the regulation of our immune systems, in order to properly address the challenges we face in today's toxic world. transfer factor provides the body with an arsenal of defense, unleashing the true power of the immune system." June Ferrari, ND, CNC
Doctors Greg Wilson and Gary Paddock - Researchers and Transfer Factor Patent Holders Comments:
"We know transfer factor’s history of safety. Chang, at the Wadley Institute of Molecular Medicine in Texas, injected humongous amounts of transfer factor in people just to prove that it was safe. He went way overboard to prove safety. The nice thing about transfer factor, when prepared in the way it will be distributed by 4Life™, it evokes no immune response against it by the recipient, and there’s no problem about immune complex diseases and it’s, therefore, much safer." Doctor Greg Wilson, Transfer Factor Patent Holder
"Through the research that Dr. Wilson and I have done in the development and characterization of Colostral TF, we have patented this technology. This patent includes the manufacture and use of Colostral TF, and this patent has been licensed to 4 Life." Doctor Gary Paddock, Transfer Factor Patent Holder
