Transfer Factor Molecules And
The Immune System Transfer factors are tiny molecules found in colostrum which provide
"immune knowledge" from a mother's immune system to her baby used in recognizing
and fighting outside threats. By transferring information from cell to
cell, transfer factors serve as "teachers" to the new cells, ensuring a
strong immune system capable of surviving, even thriving, in its new environment.
There are over 3,000 published papers and 50 years of research on various
forms and sources of transfer factors. These molecules were first
discovered in the late 40's by Dr. H. Sherwood Lawrence.
William Hennen, Ph.D. - “Every day we are faced with
threats from our microscopic environment. What you can't see can hurt you!
The uniqueness of transfer factors is that it not only supports, but also
educates our immune system in a way that no other supplement can"

"Did
you know that close to $10 billion was spent on antibiotics in the U.S.
last year? Did you know that many bacteria have become increasingly resistant
to these drugs and that many drugs are outdated as soon as they are released
for use? Have you seen the many articles in Time and Newsweek (and many
medical journals) about the variety of plagues caused by infectious agents
throughout the world? What can we do to protect ourselves in a safe and
natural way against this ever-increasing threat? Have you had a child or
patient who has required multiple drugs to deal with one or several ear
infections? This is how this threat touches our daily lives." Dr.
Markowitz is a retired pediatrician in Kennebunk, ME and has served as
the Senior Pediatrician in a Private Pediatric Practice for 19 years.
Beyond
Antibiotics: Strategies for Living in a World of Emerging Infections and
Antibiotic-Resistant Bacteria At a time when the numbers of emerging
infections and antibiotic-resistant bacteria are rising sharply, the supply
of new antibiotic drugs has been steadily decreasing. In addition, many
health providers have failed to consider that our bodies are cloaked in
a blanket of bacteria so pervasive that the bacterial cells outnumber our
“human” cells by a factor of ten. In short, we are living in a microbe’s
world and cannot ignore the very real potential for untreatable serious
infections.
Dr.
Rob Robertson, MD - "I believe Transfer
Factor is, without a doubt, the greatest discovery of the century in supporting
and modulating the immune system. I believe a strengthened immune system
will be the primary way to stay well in the future. This nutrient can affect
the immune system like nothing else can. I sincerely believe everyone needs
to consume this product. There is no other product in a nutritional substance,
nor a drug, that has this kind of power and ability to affect our immune
system. With the increase of killer viruses, mutated germs, super-resistant
germs, and food contaminations, our only hope and defense, must lie within
our own immune system." Dr.
Robertson received his medical degree from the University of Louisville
School of Medicine in 1974. He served as the Director of Emergency Services
at Western Baptist Hospital in Paducah, KY.
In 1949, Dr. H. Sherwood Lawrence made a revolutionary discovery
while studying tuberculosis. He determined that an immune response could
be transferred from a donor to a recipient by injecting an extract of white
blood cells (leukocytes)
from a previously infected, now healthy, subject into a newly infected
patient. He found that this extract contained a factor capable of transferring
immunity. He named the substance "transfer factors." Dr. Lawrence's discovery
came in the midst of the discovery and use of antibiotics. Transfer
factors have been used throughout the antibiotic age in different
regions of the world such as China, Poland, Italy and others, but never
have been available commercially due to the lack of technology. In
the fifty years since Lawrence's pioneering work, an estimated $40,000,000
has been spent on research resulting in over 3,000 published scientific
papers documenting the benefits of various forms and sources of transfer
factors.
Drs. Greg B. Wilson, Ph.D. and James B. Daily, Jr., Ph.D. -
"Transfer factors are small molecular messengers produced by immune T
lymphocytes. The message they provide is a specific description
of an invading pathogen. Using transfer factors, immune T lymphocytes
can transfer the ability to recognize and invading pathogen to previously
naïve lymphocytes. In other words, one T lymphocyte tells another
what the enemy looks like so that a coordinated attack can be mounted."

system response.
Dr. Vivienne
Matalon, M.D. - "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."
Dr. Bob Kononiuk R.Ph.
- "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."
Dr. June Ferrari, ND,
CNC - "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."
Dr. William J. Hennen, Ph.D. - "It is increasingly clear that
as the world becomes a smaller place, with viruses and other pathogens
traveling with great ease, we now face a unique situation. Simply put,
we are now, and will continue to be more exposed to challenges to our health.
However, nature has already provided the immune system as our defense to
microbes found in our environment. The degree to which we are able to educate
our immune systems to recognize invaders will help determine our ability
to cope with health challenges. I urge all people to pay attention to those
things that affect their immune systems."
Dr.
Victor Tutelian, MD, MPH - "Transfer Factor is the most promising breakthrough
in health care discovered in the past several decades. We are just beginning
to explore all of the potential of transfer factors. Neutriceuticals like
TF are the wave of the future."
Dr. Rob Robertson, MD - "Transfer factors are tiny protein molecules
that are produced by immune cells called T-cells. It allow the immune system
to remember conditions for which immunity has already been established.
When a person has been infected, for example, with chicken pox in childhood,
their body develops a memory of that illness, and prevents the person from
becoming re-infected with it later in life. In the future, the specific
immune transfer factors molecule for chicken pox will endow the immune
system with the exact ‘blueprint’ of what chicken pox looks like, and the
body will be able to quickly recognize and respond to any possible re-infection.
Many of these transfer factors - or "immune memory molecules," were introduced
to us from our mother’s milk or colostrum, which is the richest source
of concentrated transfer factors known to scientists. Transfer factors
in colostrum have the sole purpose of transferring immunity from the mother
to the baby’s immature immune system. All mammals
produce transfer factors, but scientists prefer to work with chicken and
normal bovine colostrum. A healthy cow already produces millions of different
transfer factors, but when the cow comes into contact with a pathogen such
as a virus, it produces new transfer factors for that specific virus or
pathogen. Dr.

Education and Instinct - An Explanation
of T-Factors
By, Dr. William J. Hennen, Ph.D.
The abilities we have to protect ourselves are both instinctive and
learned. Our instinctive responses are untrained and are our first defensive
responses to an outside threat. The strength of our instinctive response
oftentimes determines its effectiveness in getting us out of danger. The
better our hearing, vision, and agility, the better we are able to recognize
and dodge threats that may suddenly appear in our environment. Just like
our instinctive responses to physical threats, our innate immune responses
are part of our instinctive response to microbial threats.
The immune system has various response capabilities. Certain of these
responses are instinctive and are part of what is called the innate response.
These instinctive responses exist naturally without prior training. The
extent of the response, however, varies according to the conditioning of
the system. A better-conditioned system produces a stronger response to
a given stimulus. If this innate, instinctive, and first-line immune defense
is adequate no additional response is necessary.
Within the immune system certain fungal factors and other glyconutrients
condition the system and increase its innate responsiveness. Cordyvant
is a balanced, proprietary blend of glyconutrients designed to enhance
the innate immune response and strengthen of our first-line defensive response.
If our innate ability to physically defend ourselves is inadequate,
then we must learn additional skills such as boxing, Judo or Karate. Similarly,
our innate immune ability may be inadequate against the microbial mob.
In these cases our immune system has the ability to learn new skills. A
strong immune system has the ability to invent new techniques to deal with
each new challenge. This is called the adaptive or learned response of
the immune system.
If one looks at the education of immune cells, it is as if they go through
a grammar school, prep school, college and graduate level training. The
thymus is grammar school and pre-school for the T-cells. T-cells include
T-helper cells, T-suppressor cells and Cytotoxic T-cells. T-helper cells
assist the rest of the immune system cells in performing their important
functions. T-suppressor cells help control the immune response and keep
the immune system from overreacting. Cytotoxic T-cells are a form of white
blood cells sometimes called Cytotoxic T-Lymphocytes
(CTL). CTLs are like a police force that generally deals with threats to
the community.
The
primary and secondary immune training functions of the thymus gland are
weak in infants and increase in strength up until the time of puberty.
After puberty the thymus gland begins to shrink and continues to diminish
in size and effectiveness throughout the rest of our lives. The deterioration
of the thymus within the immune system is like the weakening of the public
school system. Without a strong primary and secondary school system, many
children have neither the math nor the language skills to adequately understand
the instructions given to them. Many things can reduce the immune system’s
training and learning capability. These include immaturity, aging and stress
from a variety of sources such as poor nutrition, emotional strain, infectious
assault or injury.
After leaving the thymus school the T-cells develop additional skills
through on-the-job training as they work against various infectious agents.
If the job is too complex, too unfamiliar, or too critical, the T-cells
may not be able to develop skills fast enough by themselves. When this
happens, additional outside training and instructions are needed. This
information comes from outside experts who donate their wisdom and experience
to the T-cells. Transfer factors provides university level training to
the T-cells. Transfer factors teaches courses in immune system induction
for the T-helper cells. Transfer factors also instructs T-suppressor cells
in control and containment of the immune system energies so that good cells
are not damaged. Cytotoxic T-cells are provided sets of microbial "Wanted"
posters and weapons training so as to better recognize and neutralize threats
to the domestic tranquility.
Each
function of the immune system is important in our overall health. A full
supplement ‘training program’ strengthens all aspects of the immune system
and provides the best protection for the cellular citizens of our body.
It is increasingly clear that as the world becomes a smaller place with
viruses and other pathogens traveling with great ease, we face now a unique
challenge. Simply put, we are now, and will be, more exposed to challenges
to our health. However, nature has already provided the immune system as
our defense to microbes found in our environment. The degree to which we
are able to educate our immune systems to recognize invaders will help
determine our ability to cope with health challenges. I urge all people
to pay attention to those things that affect their immune systems."
Spontaneous
Regression: Cancer and the Immune System We have all heard stories
of apparently miraculous recoveries from terminal cancer, but are any of
these accounts true? Absolutely. Medical journals have published thousands
of case histories about seemingly incurable patients who have seen their
cancers disappear in the absence of medical treatment. These examples of
spontaneous regression demonstrate the power of the human immune system.
It can cure cancer.

Kenneth
Singleton, MD, MPH - "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."
The scientific term "transfer factor" was added to dictionaries in
1956. Merriam-Webster's Collegiate Dictionary defines "transfer
factor" as "a substance that is produced and secreted by a lymphocyte functioning
in cell-mediated immunity and that upon incorporation into a lymphocyte
which has not been sensitized confers on it the same immunological specificity
as the sensitized cell". What this all means, is that when immune system
cells have battled with specific disease invaders, they produce a substance
that transfers a message of warning on to other immune cells. The newly
alerted immune cells "remember" the warning message, producing the same
substance, alerting other immune cells. Once alerted, the immune cells
always "remember" who the specific enemy is, and how to attack it. Because
scientists were unable to actually identify this unknown immune stimulating
substance, they coined the simple term "transfer factor" to describe it.
Every mother (human or mammal) that breast feeds her baby, passes all of
the immunity gained throughout her lifetime on to her infant. Transfer
factors are not species-specific and can therefore be extracted from any
mammal and then be given to another mammal with the same efficacy.
William
Hennen, PhD - "Transfer factors 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."
Inside your body there is an amazing protection mechanism called the
immune system. It is designed to defend you against outside invaders that
can compromise your health. Knowing this, it’s easy to see why maintaining
a healthy immune system means living a healthier life. Understanding the
function of the immune system helps us appreciate the value in maintaining
its healthy function.
Transfer factors are tiny molecules found
in colostrum which provide "immune knowledge" from a mother's immune system
to her baby used in recognizing and fighting outside threats. By transferring
information from cell to cell, transfer factors serve as "teachers" to
the new cells, ensuring a strong immune system capable of surviving, even
thriving, in its new environment.* Transfer factors are not
species-specific and can therefore be extracted from any mammal
and then be given to another mammal with the same efficacy. There are over
3,000 published papers and 50 years of research on various forms and sources
of transfer factors.
Key
Points
• Transfer Factor E-XF: Transfer factors are molecules found
within the bodies of all mammals and birds. Transfer factors provide immune
intelligence and promote the immune system’s ability to recognize, respond
to, and remember invaders seeking to threaten health. Transfer Factor E-XF
is 4Life's advanced
transfer factor blend. Through a patented process exclusive to 4Life, transfer
factors from both cow colostrum and chicken egg yolks are combined to produce
synergistic immune-enhancing support.
• NanoFactor extract: Nanofractions are low-weight molecules
found in the immune systems of certain mammals and birds. They possess
natural intuition and function as part of the complex “command and control”
network of the immune system. NanoFactor is 4Life’s
patent-pending extract of nanofractions from cow colostrum. NanoFactor
helps immune cells know when to act, how to act, and when to rest.
While transfer factors and nanofractions each provide effective immune
support on their own, intelligence and intuition are both needed for optimal
immune response. 4Life
Transfer Factor Tri-Factor Formula brings together the intelligence of
4Life Transfer Factor and the intuition of NanoFactor, to regulate, boost,
and balance the immune system… according to what your body needs.
• Cordyvant blend: Cordyvant contains ingredients that support
the innate immune system, your first and instinctive response when your
body is threatened. This blend contains known immune system nutrients,
including: maitake and shiitake mushrooms, cordyceps, inositol hexaphosphate,
beta glucans, soya bean extract, and olive leaf extract.
• Scientifically Studied: 4Life Transfer Factor Plus Tri-Factor
Formula was developed by 4Life researchers and scientists in an effort
to maximize immune system support. Results of an independent study conducted
at the Russian Academy of Medical Science conclusively showed that 4Life
Transfer Factor Plus Tri-Factor Formula propelled Natural Killer (NK) cell
activity to a remarkable 437 percent above normal immune system response.1
Did you know? Transfer factor and nanofraction molecules can be shared safely and
effectively. Whether they are transferred from cow to human or from chicken
to human, these molecules are not species specific.
Technical Points
• Natural Killer (NK) cells are important immune cells that seek and
destroy harmful cells through direct contact. When invaders enter your
body, these NK cells are on the front lines of your immune defense.
• The extraction processes for transfer factors from egg sources is
protected by US patent 6,468,534, and the combining process for transfer
factors from cow colostrum and egg yolks is protected by US patent 6,866,868.
• 4Life Transfer Factor Plus Tri-Factor Formula is also included in
4Life’s RiteStart® Men and Women.

The
Road To Better Health may begin with a Healing Crisis A
healing crisis is also known as the Herxheimer Reaction
which
occurs
when the body is detoxifying too rapidly and toxins are being
released faster than the body can eliminate them. As you move toward better
health with natural healing programs and better nutrition, healing begins
to occur. As part of the healing process the body will begin to discard
toxic residues which have built up in your body over the years. The healing
process usually does not occur without repercussions. During the initial
phase of healing, as your body begins to clean house, (detoxify) and your
vital energy begins to repair and rebuildinternal organs, you may experience
headache, uneasiness, flu like symptoms and fatigue.
H. Reg McDaniel, MD - "The human body has an amazing cleansing
system for eliminating toxins that accumulate in the body. This system
can also become inefficient and allow toxins to build up and be stored,
especially in body fat, rather than be eliminated. Once this natural cleansing
system begins to work more efficiently, reactions can occur. These reactions
result from the stored toxins begin released faster than the liver, kidneys,
skin and lungs can remove them from the body. These reactions can include
loss of appetite, nausea, headaches and swelling in various lymph glands
throughout the body."
Dr. Mercola - "Every act of every cell in the body produces waste.
This waste is poisonous, it is incompatible with the life of the cell..."
"The cells throw their waste into the lymph that carries it back to the
blood. The blood takes the waste to the excretory organs mentioned above
for elimination." "Normal elimination keeps the blood and lymph clean.

Transfer
Factors in Pediatrics Suzette Lawrence, CNM - "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."
What are transfer factors
and how do they work? Soon after giving birth, female mammals produce
colostrum, which is a milk-like substance that jump-starts a newborn's
immune system. Researchers now believe that the benefits of colostrum don't
necessarily end there.
Transfer Factor is a set of messaging
molecules that convey immune information within an individual's immune
system. Nature also uses transfer factor to carry immune information from
one individual's immune system to another individual. This in fact is how
it got its name: by
being the factor that transferred immunity from one person to another.
Transfer factors are the primary communications used by the immune system
to defend against harmful microbial threats. Transfer factors are small
molecules that occur naturally in all mammals and are passed from mother
to newborn through the mother's first milk called colostrum. By transferring
information from cell to cell, transfer factors serve as "teachers" to
the cells, ensuring a strong immune system capable of surviving, even thriving,
in its new environment.
How was Transfer Factor discovered?
In
1949 Dr. H. Sherwood Lawrence was working on the problem of tuberculosis.
What he was trying to discover was if any component of the blood could
convey a tubercular sensitivity from an exposed recovered donor to a naive
recipient. Whole blood transfusions could be used but only between people
of the same blood type. Lawrence first separated the blood's immune cells,
the lymphocytes
or white blood cells, from the whole blood. Then he broke open the lymphocytes
and separated the contents of the cells into various size fractions. What
he found was that a fraction of small molecules was able to transfer tuberculin
sensitivity to a naive recipient. This is what Dr. Lawrence called transfer
factor.
Is blood the only source of transfer
factor? Originally it was. It was not until the mid 1980's that
two researchers came up with the idea that Transfer Factor may also be
present in colostrum. The confirmation of this discovery was awarded a
patent in 1989. Colostrum is now the best source of transfer factor.
What is colostrum? It
is the first milk that a mother produces immediately after giving birth.
What
prompted these scientists to look for Transfer Factor in colostrum? Those
who have worked with cattle know that if a calf is not allowed to nurse
from its mother it will most often die within a short time. The calves
would die in spite of an abundance of food. Death in these cases was cause
by infections brought on by the most common organisms. For whatever reason
the immune systems of these calves were not working. Seeing this suggests
that there is some kind of immune information was being transferred from
the mother and her infant. The logical question then became: was it transfer
factor? The answer was a resounding YES!
Transfer factors
are isolated from colostrum, what about milk allergies and lactose intolerance?
Milk
allergies are caused by the large milk proteins, primarily casein, and
to a lesser extent the immunoglobulins. These proteins are completely removed
from the transfer factor. Lactose intolerance is most common in Oriental
populations; much less so in those of European or African decent. We are
conscience of this concern and remove the lactose from our product.
Are
there any differences between dried colostrum and 4Life’s
Transfer Factor XF? Unlike colostrum, Transfer
Factor XF contains a concentrated amount of transfer factors, the active
ingredient found in colostrum. Through a special patented process licensed
to 4Life, transfer factors are separated from other components found in
this “first milk.” Transfer factors readily survive digestion and are easily
absorbed, unlike the antibodies and proteins found in colostrum. In addition,
Transfer Factor XF has undergone a special stabilization process to protect
the effectiveness of the transfer factors.
Is Transfer factors only good for
newborns? Transfer Factor is good for everyone who needs an extra
immune boost.
Is transfer factor safe for infants?
Colostral
transfer factor was designed by Nature for newborns. Removal of the milk
allergens and lactose leaves only the essence of the immunological information
in the form of transfer factors.
Who can benefit
from taking Transfer Factor XF? Everyone who needs an extra
immune boost can benefit from taking Transfer Factor XF.
Can pregnant women take
Transfer Factor XF? There have been no adverse
responses reported while taking Transfer Factor XF during pregnancy, but
as with any supplement, consult a physician.
Why should I use Transfer
Factor XF if I received immune information as an infant? The transfer factors we
received from our mothers as infants helped educate and strengthen our
naïve immune systems for the challenges of that time. Today, more
than ever, we are exposed to new immune
challenges, while our immune
systems have become weakened with age. Strengthening our immune systems
can be critical to lifelong health.
How often should I take
Transfer Factor XF? Every day our bodies create
new immune cells that need instruction. To meet this need, Transfer Factor
XF should be used on a daily basis to provide the immune system with continual
support against an environment filled with new and emerging health challenges.
Transfer Factor XF, taken on a daily basis, provides effective support
for the immune system.
If
transfer
factors is so effective why hasn't the pharmaceutical
industry jumped on transfer factors?
I
think that is exactly what we are seeing in many foreign countries notably
China, Czechoslovakia, Germany, Hungary, Poland, and Japan. In the US transfer
factor has had an interesting history. The idea of transfer factor flies
in the face of conventional immunology. In the 50’s antibiotics were the
golden child of medicine followed in the 60's by steroids like cortisone
for inflammation and the synthetic steroid hormones like ethinyl estrogen
and progestin that were used to create the birth control pill. After an
initial delay transfer factor hit its heyday in the 70's and early 80's.
Results however were inconsistent as researchers dove in sometimes with
more enthusiasm than skill. The key feature that was missing in these investigations
was a dependable assay technique for quality control of the product. The
quality control issue was not resolved until the mid 1980's.
Given that transfer factor is not a
single entity, the pharmaceutical companies had fits to trying to purify
the material without losing efficacy. This force-fit into the single-entity,
single-function drug dogma was disastrous. The next issue that slowed transfer
factor research is the age-old issue of funding. When AIDS hit the popular
press politicians shifted funding into AIDS research but with the focus
on finding the cause and then finding a drug that would cure AIDS. The
work of a few dedicated, but under-funded, researchers and the inability
of the mainstream medical-pharmaceutical industry have combined to again
focus attention on transfer factor as one of the few modalities that is
effective against diseases of viral origin.
Are there reasons why we haven't
seen transfer factor as a food supplement before now? Yes, there
are two doors that recently have opened that allow transfer factor to be
effectively marketed now. The first door to open was the passage of DSHEA
in 1994. The provision for structure-functions claims allows the story
of transfer factor to be told without jeopardizing its status as a nutritional
supplement. The second is technical. Transfer factor was definitely an
idea way ahead of its time and it had to wait for technology to catch up.
The processing methods that allow for large-scale extraction of transfer
factor have only recently been perfected and a commercial product has only
been available for the past ten year.
How does one discuss transfer
factors in terms of structure-function claims?
Simplistically,
transfer factor strengthens the immune system. But that is simplistic and
could be used to describe a number of herbal products and other supplements.
Let me answer the question by first reiterating that transfer factor is
not just a single entity. Transfer factor is in fact a complex mixture
containing three separate fractions. These three fractions are an INDUCER
fraction, and ANTIGEN SPECIFIC fraction, and a SUPPRESSOR fraction. Since
our immune systems fight the microbe wars for us, let me use a military
analogy to explain these three functions. The inducer fraction serves as
the drill Sargent of basic training whipping the immune system into shape
but not telling them who to go out and attack. The antigen specific fraction
is like a set of wanted posters identifying critical features of the bad
guys. If we were microbes these specific identifiers would be our fingerprints,
mug shots, etc.
Similarly a whole set of transfer factors
are made against a single microbe type. Finally the suppressor fraction
is like the politicians who declare an end to the war and demobilize the
troops. Without this action a lot of excessive damage is done both in war
and within ourselves. When our immune system does not demobilize or overreacts
we suffer from autoimmune diseases such as multiple sclerosis and allergies.
Unlike most immune supplements, that provide the building blocks for proper
immune function, transfer factor is immune intelligence. It is immune information
and education that focuses the immune system keeping it on task and effective.
This is a whole new concept in immune system strengthening.
Is Transfer Factor FDA approved?
Foods
and dietary supplements are not approved by the FDA and food supplements
derived from milk would certainly fall under the category of Generally
Recognized As Safe [GRAS].
What is the difference
between transfer factors and colostrum? Transfer factors are the most
powerful part of colostrum. Colostrum contains bovine specific antibodies
that can cause allergic reactions. However, transfer factors are not species-specific
and can be given to another mammal without reaction.
Who makes transfer factor?
Through a special patented process licensed to 4Life
Research™ www.4-life.com, transfer factors are extracted from cow colostrum.
4Life's™ transfer factors naturally supports the body's immune system,
communicating immune information more efficiently among the cells in the
body.
Transfer
Factors are obtained through a proprietary, patented microfiltration process.
The colostrum is collected within the first 24-72 hours of calving after
the calf has received its fill, then passed through the microfiltration
machinery. The collection of transfer factors is from the excess colostrums,
after a portion is given to the calf to protect it. That material is essentially
free of all hormone additives. It is the cleanest time to collect
milk for consumption and in this case, colostrum for providing transfer
factors. The resultant filtrate is then pasteurized a second time and spray-dried
into a fine powder. The powder then undergoes microbial testing for safety
and a biological assay to ensure consistency and potency.A similar process
is used on the egg yolks after they are separated from the whites. The
Patent numbers are 4,816,563 and 6,468,534
Both
chickens and cows live mainly outside, where they eat off the ground, drink
from shared water sources, endure varying weather conditions and contend
with the challenges of communal living. This leaves them exposed to a variety
of germs, bacteria and viruses, which their immune systems must battle
and then remember in order for them to stay healthy. It's the heroic nature
of their immune systems, needed for survival that makes them ideal donors
for transfer factors. Because transfer factors can be shared safely and
effectively from human to human, chicken to human or cow to human, either
source alone offers excellent immune support. Combined, they offer the
broadest and deepest range of immune support available.
The following points illustrate
the quality that goes into the sourcing of our transfer factors.
1.
All of the dairy herds that produce colostrum for processing are from USDA
Grade A dairy farms. As such the farm and milk must meet the standards
of state and federal milk quality ordinances, including the Pasteurized
Milk Ordinance (PMO). These state and federally inspected farms produce
milk for the Grade A Fluid Milk Market. Milk from these farms is sold in
the marketplace.
2. It
is unlawful to use antibiotics in lactating dairy cattle that will give
rise to measureable levels of antimicrobial drugs. All tanker truckloads
of milk are tested in all processing plants for such residues. Contaminated
milk cannot be used for fluid or processing milk purposes. The financial
penalties are severe and dairy producers have redundant management schemes
in place to assure that residues do not occur. USDA and FDA statutes prohibit
use of antibiotics as a feed supplement in lactating dairy cattle.
3. Our
inquiry revealed that the dairy farms that produce raw colostrum for processing
do not use hormones intended to increase milk production, including rBST.
4. All
colostrum is pasteurized in a proprietary process to assure its microbial
safety and quality. Moreover, the ultra-filtration process will remove
all known microorganisms. Once dried the powder is tested for viable microbes.
5. The
agent associated with "Mad Cow Disease" (Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy,
(BSE)) has NOT been identified in the United States dairy herd. Additionally,
there is no evidence of milk borne transmission in the English experience
with BSE and the 36 Crutzfeldt-Jakobs Disease (CJD) patients.
6. All
other ingredients in the transfer factors product line are "Food Grade"
as defined by the US FDA Center for Food Safety and Applied Nutrition and
meet the US FDA GRAS (Generally Regarded As Safe) definition
Question: What happens
to the newborn calves who need that colostrum, when it is taken from them
for 4life? Are mama cows allowed to roam in green pastures? Or are they
in barns all year, like the premarin horses?
Quality
Control Protocol: Herd Management 4Life’s™
management
"It is of utmost importance
to the management of 4Life™
that we follow the most stringent quality control protocol in the care
of the herds used to gather transfer factor and in the manufacturing process.
The 4Life™; manufacturing facility is pharmaceutical grade. David Lisonbee
has been involved to some degree or another in quality manufacturing for
more than two decades. In order to accomplish this protocol, we have contracted
one of the foremost authorities in this area, Richard Bennett, Ph.D.
Dr. Bennett has been an advisor
to the FDA and to the USDA. He is the University of California Environmental
Science Advisor in the North San Francisco Bay Region of California. He
received his doctorate in Comparative Pathology at the world renowned UC
Davis School of Veterinary Medicine. He has been a consultant to the National
Research Council, the UC Davis Agricultural Issues Center, and to numerous
national and local corporations.
Our protocol for the herds
is that the farmers do not give their cows any substances (including growth
hormones), which have been known to be harmful to human beings. Cows live
mainly outside, where they eat off the ground, drink from shared water
sources, endure varying weather conditions and contend with the challenges
of communal living. This leaves them exposed to a variety of germs, bacteria
and viruses, which their immune systems must battle and then remember in
order for them to stay healthy. It's the heroic nature of their immune
systems, needed for survival that makes them ideal donors for transfer
factors.
The herds are not placed
near fields where pesticides or herbicides are used. Although it would
be virtually impossible for any substance to make it through our stringent
extraction and manufacturing process, this policy has been developed to
address any concerns that our customers may have. There can be no antibiotics
in the colostrum. If a cow is sick and has to have antibiotics, the cow
is removed from the line until no antibiotics are found in its system.
Any cow that shows any signs of illness is thoroughly checked out to eliminate
any chance of mad cow disease or other serious conditions. Every batch
is tested for contamination.
While no antibiotics can
be present in the cow’s colostrum, it is advantageous to the consumer of
transfer factors that a cow, at some time in its life, has consumed antibiotics.
Some of the greatest threats to the human race are the antibiotic-resistant
strains of bacteria, which are now killing thousands of Americans. If the
cow has been administered antibiotics and has come into contact with such
pathogens, then the transfer factor could possibly communicate the memory
of these mutated germs to our transfer factor. Remember, the purpose of
transfer factor is to communicate immunity against pathogens the cow has
been in contact with. This could be of major value to the consumer because
transfer factors can be shared safely and effectively from human to human,
chicken to human or cow to human, either source alone offers excellent
immune support. Combined, they offer the broadest and deepest range of
immune support available. The herds are scattered throughout the country
so that we can gather transfer factor that has been exposed to a great
variety of germs. Our quality control management keeps very close supervision
over the herds.
Another concern in the general
public is mad cow disease. 4Life™; has a very specific strategy to avoid
mad cow disease. The key to avoiding mad cow disease or any other disease
is to monitor the cows very carefully, avoid practices that expose the
cows to the disease, and to test every batch of product as it is being
processed. Our farmers are only from the United States. The cows are not,
and never have been, fed any meat-containing products. One of our tests
is performed on live mice. It would be very difficult for anything like
mad cow disease to slip through our safety net. The supplement industry
has much more stringent controls in place than does the food industry.
Regularly E. coli and salmonella slip into our nation’s food supply. The
real danger is with the food industry, not the nutrition industry, especially
with a top-of-the-line manufacturer such as 4Life Research™;.
Although 4Life™;
is committed to being vigilant, there is evidence that BSE is not transmitted
through milk type products. At a World Health Organization (WHO) Consultation
organized in Geneva on April 2-3, 1996, a group of international experts
reviewed the public health issues related to bovine spongiform encephalopathy
(BSE) and the emergence of a new variant of Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease (V-CJD).
These scientists made the following statement: "Tests on milk from BSE-infected
animals have not shown any BSE infectivity, and there is evidence from
other animal and human spongiform encephalopathies to suggest that milk
will not transmit these diseases. Milk and milk products, even in countries
with high incidence of BSE, are therefore considered safe."

Public Awareness Most modern maladies are
caused by prolonged exposure to a combination of negative lifestyles and
toxic environmental factors, including junk food and malnutrition, pesticides,
antibiotics, microwaves, chemical pollution of food, water and air, lack
of exercise and chronic stress. These factors are further aggravated by
the failure of modern medicine to recognize them as agents of dis-"ease"
and death and the consequent failure to take preventative measures against
them. more

Transfer
Factor Products
Transfer
Factors are obtained through a proprietary, patented microfiltration process.
The colostrum is collected within the first 24-72 hours of calving after
the calf has received its fill, then passed through the microfiltration
machinery. The collection of transfer factors is from the excess colostrums,
after a portion is given to the calf to protect it. That material is essentially
free of all hormone additives. It is the cleanest time to collect
milk for consumption and in this case, colostrum for providing transfer
factors. The resultant filtrate is then pasteurized a second time and spray-dried
into a fine powder. The powder then undergoes microbial testing for safety
and a biological assay to ensure consistency and potency.A similar process
is used on the egg yolks after they are separated from the whites. The
Patent numbers are 4,816,563 and 6,468,534
