Esophageal Cancer on the Rise Fastest Rising Form of Cancer in the U.S. By Jennifer Warner WebMD Medical News
Reviewed By Michael Smith, MD

Jan. 18, 2005 -- The number of Americans diagnosed with a common form of esophageal cancer has increased sixfold over the last 25 years. About half of the estimated 14,250 people diagnosed with esophageal cancer in 2004 have a form of esophageal cancer called adenocarcinoma. The esophagus is the long, narrow tube that brings food and liquid from the mouth to the stomach. Although esophageal adenocarcinoma is relatively uncommon, researchers say it is now the fastest growing form of cancer in the U.S., and its incidence is rising faster than breast cancer, prostate cancer, or melanoma. Some had suspected that the rapid increase in esophageal cancer rates might be the result of improved screening and detection. People with Barrett's esophagus, a condition in which abnormal cells develop from long-term acid reflux, are more likely to get this form of esophageal cancer.

Esophageal Cancer Rising Rapidly
In the study, which appears in the Jan. 19 issue of the Journal of the National Cancer Institute, researchers found that from 1975 to 2001, the frequency of esophageal adenocarcinoma rose approximately sixfold in the U.S. from 4 to 23 cases per million people. Researchers ruled out overdiagnosis as a potential cause of the increase. In addition, the study showed that at the same time that this type of esophageal adenocarcinoma has increased by sixfold, the rate of deaths due to this form of esophageal cancer has grown by sevenfold, from 2 to 15 deaths per million people. "Our results strongly indicate that the increase in esophageal adenocarcinoma represents a true increase in disease burden," write researcher Heiko Pohl of the VA Outcomes Group in White River Junction, Vt., and colleagues.

Used nothing but high doses of transfer factor and transfer factor plus.

Dena’s Transfer Factor Story  En Español
My name is Dena Guidice, and I want to share with you how Transfer Factor has saved my life.  In November of 1998, I was diagnosed with lung cancer.  At that time, my team of doctors recommended that the best course of treatment for my cancer would be to perform radiation and chemotherapy simultaneously.  I got started with both treatments immediately and was given the highest dosages of treatment possible.  Over the next 90 days, I suffered from all of the normal side effects including weakness, vomiting, hair loss & severe weight loss.  My radiation and chemo treatments ended late February 1999.

On March 25th, 1999, I went in for surgery (as planned), and the doctors removed a tumor from my right lung along with the top 1/3rd of my lung and three sections of my ribs.  The surgery went very well, and the doctors believed that they had successfully removed all of the cancer from my body.  After my surgery, I went through an additional 12 weeks of chemotherapy from May to July 1999, as a "safety measure."  It was during this time that my body became so weak that all I could do was sleep and lie in bed all day.  I lost all of my hair at this point, and my fingernails and teeth became so brittle I started to lose them as well.  I lost my appetite completely and got to the point where I weighed only 88 pounds.

Even as sick as I was in the summer, I was still hopeful that by fall I would get stronger after the chemotherapy was out of my system.  My hope was short lived, however.  In August, I found a lump under my left arm.  After another surgery to remove that tumor, the tests confirmed that I had malignant lymphatic cancer (cancer of the lymph nodes) and that the cancer was all over my whole body.  At that point in time, my team of doctors told me there was nothing they could do for me.  I had stage 4 (final stage) cancer and I had a maximum of 4 to 6 months to live. They told me to do everything I’ve always wanted to do in life within the next 45-60 days because after that, I would be much too weak and too sick to do anything whatsoever.  By this time, I was convinced that I was going to die - especially since the doctors had never seen a person live beyond 8 months, in my condition with my kind of cancer.

At this point, I shared the devastating news with my kids, and we all took a trip to Hawaii.  In my own mind, I knew that this would be my "farewell trip."  I had given up every ounce of hope, and I had mentally prepared myself to die.  It was at this time (1st week in October) that my son finally convinced me to start taking Transfer Factor.  In my mind, I was 100% convinced that it wouldn't do anything for me, but nonetheless, I started taking six Transfer Factors Plus and six regular Transfer Factor capsules every day.  Within 30 days, I started to feel a little stronger and regained my appetite, but I still believed in my mind that my life was soon to be over. I kept taking the product. By January 2000, about 90 days after starting on Transfer Factor, I found myself even stronger and had gained back 7 pounds.

I continued taking Transfer Factor every day.  It’s now been 7 months since I started taking transfer factors (May 2000).  I've now gained a total of 26 pounds and I feel healthier than I've felt in over 2 years.  I just went to see my doctor 2 weeks ago, and he said that, "I'm a living Miracle" and that I have no signs of cancer.  Transfer Factor has not only saved my life, it has given me hope for tomorrow and the years ahead.
 

"I’m 37 years old, and two months ago I was diagnosed with papillary thyroid cancer.  The pathologist said that he was 95% sure that I had papillary thyroid cancer.  Well, I didn’t believe him.  So he gave the results to two other pathologists on blind study who confirmed that indeed I did have cancer.  I was already following a nutritional program, so on top of that I started taking one transfer factors three times a day and two Transfer Factor Plus three times a day.  I took those on top of my baseline nutritional program for two solid weeks before my operation.  They removed the entire thyroid and they couldn’t find any cancer whatsoever.  By the way, I have the lab results saying that I had cancer, and the follow up lab results stating that I don’t have cancer. I’m really happy with the results."   - Carlos Peacher

"My name is Helen and I am a breast cancer survivor.  I had to pace myself with every task I undertook.  I wash my hair every day and always had to pause to rest while blowing my hair dry and I have very short hair.  I went on Transfer Factor Plus. After 11 days, I no longer needed to rest drying my hair.  On the 12th day I went to a wedding.  I danced most of the evening and the only thing sore were my toes due the fact that I hadn’t worn high-heeled shoes for so long.  Now when my partner and I take the dog out for a walk I really have to watch my pace because quite often I’ll hear; "Helen slow down the dog and I can’t keep up."  I feel great and have energy to burn and friends now say I have a certain 'glow' about me."  Helen

My secretary has had 3 major cancer surgeries, and as a result was sleepy and run down. After 48 hours of taking transfer factors, she is energetic and able to function again.  Manley L.

Duane Townsend, M.D. OB/GYN & Oncologist  "I'm a cancer physician. I primarily treat female cancer and certainly encourage my patients who are undergoing chemotherapy and radiation therapy to take transfer factors.  It helps to modulate the immune system. I have patients with chronic herpes infections who are taking transfer factors on a regular basis and it's reducing the number of outbreaks.  I've also had patients with chronic yeast infections, and the transfer factors has reduced their infections as well. Transfer Factor is a science-based product with excellent data from a variety of researchers,"

"My chemotherapy patients on transfer factors are feeling much stronger."  Dr. Duane Townsend MD

Mary's Story:  "I'm a 49-year-old woman and my cancer started when I was 17 years of age. And today I can finally say thank you to God for giving me back my life.  In February of 1999, I was diagnosed with cancer once again and this time it was in my lungs. I had decided not to take chemotherapy.  I had already had two bouts of it aggressively and I didn't want it any more.  And I opted not to take any of the cancer drugs.  Then the cancer decided to attack my bones and spine.  In September, the doctors told me that my days were very limited.  I had heard about Transfer Factor, and in October I had started taking it.  My normal days consisted of 18 hours in bed.  Walking and eating were very difficult for me.  I ran high fevers constantly, with vomiting maybe 8 to 10 times a day.  I had started taking Transfer Factor and Transfer Factor Plus in October.  Linda Holston and Dr. Rob worked together and they said to start out on 3 Transfer Factor and 2 Transfer Factor Plus, which I did.  I began to see an immediate improvement, then when we received the press release from Dr. See, regarding the increase of the NK cells, I bumped up the dosage.  I became ill again and Dr. Rob said to cut back down.  I went back down and decided to increase daily, which I did. November the 18th, 1999, I went to the doctor and I received a phone call that evening telling me that every x-ray and every blood count test that they took was completely normal, and there were no signs of cancer.  I asked him if he was sure that it was my test and he said yes, and that everything had been tested four times by three different doctors.  Today I have my life, my family and my son is going to have a mother that he is going to be able to grow up with. I thank Transfer Factor and all the doctors for everything that they have done, and I advise anyone who has any type of disease to get on Transfer Factor and Transfer Factor Plus immediately.  And for children, keep them on Transfer Factor just as an extra protection with so many diseases around."  Mary L.


Sharon Stoller in Texas: "My husband had been battling cancer for about 2 years now and his prognosis was not good.  He's had cancer for several years prior to being diagnosed, and wasn't really expected to survive.  He's endured two rounds of chemo, and his cancer returned in 6 months.  He had to go for more chemo that was even more grueling than his first treatment and it completely devastated his immune system.  He was ill all the time and continued to experience symptoms of his illness, including bleeding from the portion of the tumor that was not able to be surgically removed, as well as overall body pain and fatigue.  Within 24 hour of starting Transfer Factor Plus he said he felt just a dramatic increase in his energy level and a diminished body pain.  And within 72 hours of taking Transfer Factors plus his bleeding had stopped.  The most exciting thing of all is that his tumor has started to shrink and he has been on transfer factors only since this past August and he is now in his 11 month of being cancer free.  The only set back that we have had is when we ran out of Transfer Factor Plus and his bleeding started up right away again. Within 24 hours of restarting the Transfer Factor Plus, the bleeding stopped and we decided that we would never be without this miracle product again.  We have put our children on it.  I am pregnant and taking transfer factors, not the Plus.  My daughter's allergies have vanished and no one has had a cold or sniffle or anything since we started this.  It really is a fabulous product and I encourage

American Medical Review: 4life Transfer FactorThe American Medical Review: Transfer Factor


Mi nombre es Dena Guidice, quiero compartir con ustedes cómo el Factor de Transferencia me ha salvado mi vida. En Noviembre de 1998 mis Doctores encontraron cáncer pulmonar.  En ese momento, mis Doctores recomendarón que el curso mejor de tratamiento para mi cáncer sería radiación y quimoterapia simultáneamente. Yo empecé inmediatamente con ambos tratamientos y me díeron las dosis más altas de tratamiento posible. Durante los próximos 90 días, yo padecí de todos los efectos secundarios debido a este tratamiento incluso la debilidad, estube vomitando diariamente, comenze a perder mi cabello y tambien la pérdida de peso era severa. Mi radiación y tratamientos de
quimoterapia acabaron Febrero de 1999.

El 25 de Marzo de 1999, yo fui al hospital par recivir mi tratamiento cirurgíco (como mis Doctores habian planeado). Los Doctores removieron un tumor de mi pulmón derecho junto con parte de mi pulmón (un tercio 1/3) y tambien removieron tres secciones de mis costillas. La cirugía fue muy bien, y los Doctores creyeron que ellos habían quitado todo el cáncer con éxito de mi cuerpo. Despues de mi cirugía tuve que seguir mi tratamiento de quimoterapia por 12 semanas adicionales, desde Mayo 1999 a Julio del 99, mi cuerpo se puso tan débil que todo lo que yo anteriormente podía hacer ya era un sueño en el pasado y tenia que quedarme todo el día en la cama.  Yo perdí todo mi pelo a estas alturas, y mis uñas y dientes se pusieron tan porosos que empecé a perderlos también. Perdí mi apetito completamente y llegue a un punto que solamente pesaba 88 libras.

Así como tan enferma que yo estaba ese Verano, yo todavía tenia la esperanza que ya para el Otoño yo me pondria mucho más fuerte después de que esos tratamientos de quimoterapia salieran de mi cuerpo.. Mi esperanza era poder gozar y vivir de nuevo, sin embargo. En Agosto, yo encontré otro tumor bajo mi brazo izquierdo. Me tuvieron que quitar ese tumor, los analisis de laboratorio confirmaron después de esa cirugía que ya tenía el cáncer linfático maligno (uno de los canceres mas peligrosos que existen) y que el cáncer habia invadido mi cuerpo entero. Mis Doctores me dijeron que ya no había nada mas que ellos podrían hacer para mí. Yo tenía fase 4 (la fase final).  Con este cáncer yo tenía un máximo de 4 a 6 meses para vivir. Ellos me dijeron que hiciera todo lo que yo siempre he querido hacer en la vida dentro de los próximos 45-60 días porque después de eso, yo estaria demasiado débil y demasiado enferma. Durante ese tiempo, me convencieron que yo me hiba a morir especialmente desde que los Doctores nunca habían visto a una persona vivir más de 8 meses, en mi condición y con mi tipo de cáncer.

A estas alturas, yo compartí estas noticias devastantes con mis niños, todos nosotros decidimos hacer un viaje especial de familia a Hawaii. En mi propia mente, yo reconocí que este viaje sería mi "adiós a mi familia." Yo no tenia ni una onza de esperanza, ya estaba preparada mentalmente y habia aceptado morirme. Durante estos momentos (una semana en Octubre) mi hijo me convenció finalmente que empezara a usar el Factor de Transferencia. En mi mente, yo estaba 100% convencida que este producto no podia hacer nada para mí, pero aun haci lo comense a usar.  Yo empecé a tomar seis capsulas de Factor de Transferencia Plus y seis cápsulas de Factor de Transferencia regular todos los días. Dentro de 30 días, yo empecé a sentirme un poco más fuerte y mi apetito comenzo a regresar, pero yo todavía pensaba mentalmente que mi vida ya muy pronto se terminaba. Yo segui utilizando el producto. En Enero 2000, aproximadamente 90 días después de comenzar a utilizar el Factor de Transferencia, me encontré aun más fuerte y había aumentado 7 libras de peso. Yo continué a tomar TF todos los días. Ya han pasado mas de 7 meses desde que yo empecé a tomar el Factor de Transferencia (Mayo 2000). He aumentado un total de 26 libras y me siento mucho más saludable de lo que yo me he sentido anteriormente durante los ultimos 2 años.  Fui a visitar a mi Doctor 2 semanas atras, y él me dijo que, "yo soy un Milagro viviente" y que yo no tengo ninguna señal de cáncer. El Factor de Transferencia no sólamente me ha salvado mi vida, me ha dado una esperanza hacia el futuro. Un futuro mucho mas saludable. Gracias Factor de Transferencia y gracias a 4Life Research por traernos a este descubrimiento tan maravilloso. everyone to get on it and get your kids on it." Sharon Stoller.

Transfer Factor Study with 20 Cancer Patients
Darryl See, M.D. conducted the following studies.

Twenty patients, 12 men and 8 women, were selected for this in vivo study.  The average age was 49.3.  The twenty individuals were each level 3 or level 4 cancer patients.  Each patient was basically sent home by his or her oncologist to die.  The average life expectancy was 3.7 months.   The protocol was to place each patient on 9 capsules per day of Transfer Factor Plus.  The patients were given a number of other general nutrients*.  After eight months, 16 of these individuals were still living and were either in remission, improving or stabilized.

The baseline for natural killer cell function was 6.4.  Within 4 weeks the average NK Cell function was increased to 25.7 and in 6 months it increased to 27.6.  This represented a 400% increase in NK Cell function.  This is an ongoing study.  This study has been submitted to a peer reviewed publication.

*Antioxidants, Digestive Enzymes, Probiotics and multi-vitamins.

The following study was conducted at the Institute of Longevity.  The purpose of the study was to examine the synergistic effects of the components of Transfer Factor Plus.  Each component was tested separately and then tested as a whole unit.  Together the proprietary blend increased NK Cell functions more than the sum total of all of the ingredients tested separately.  This study indicates that the intelligence contained in transfer factors has an enhancing effect on other nutrients.

In vitro study:

Ingredient 10 GM /ml NK Function
PBMC (Control) 25.6%
Zinc 26.8% NS
Proprietary Blend 59.9% <0.02 (Mushrooms etc)
Zinc +Prop. Blend 95.4 <0.01
transfer factors alone 128.5% <0.01
Complete Prod. (Transfer Factor Plus) 273.6% <0.01
The sum of the individual product is less than the Complete Product (Transfer Factor Plus).
There is synergy in having a combination of Transfer Factor Plus.

In 2002, 4Life Transfer Factor was featured in the publicly televised American Medical Review (AMR). Since 2001, 4Life products have appeared in every publication of the Non-Prescription Drugs and Dietary Supplements Physician's Desk Reference (PDR).

Transfer Factors & Immunity
By Greg B. Wilson, Ph.D. and James B. Daily, Jr., Ph.D.                        Cancer Recovery with Transfer Factors - Testimonials

 Our health is directly influenced by our immune system.  The onset of almost all infectious and degenerative disease is preceded or accompanied by inadequate immune response.  With intensifying concerns about the perils of vaccinations and antibiotic resistant organisms, a new weapon against disease is sorely needed.  Transfer factors are such a weapon, and based upon almost 50 years of research, transfer factors appear to be highly effective with few, if any, side effects.

 If our immune systems are functioning normally, transfer factors are produced after we are exposed to infectious agents such as viruses, bacteria, fungi, and parasites.  Recent research, however, provides evidence that transfer factors, even from another animal such as a cow, can enable us to develop immunity to infectious agents before we are actually exposed to them.  In addition, transfer factor administration can accelerate our immune response once we have been infected.  This new approach to optimizing the immune response to infectious agents promises to revolutionize our approach to disease prevention and control!

Discovering the transfer factor:  The complete structure of any transfer factor has not yet been determined.  Researchers in the United States, Germany, Russia and China agree, however, that transfer factors are small molecule (3500 to 6000 molecular weight consisting of ribonucleic acid (RNA)) bases attached to short amino acid chains called peptides.  Early research found that immunity to a specific pathogen could be transmitted by giving subcutaneous or intramuscular injections of lymphocyte extracts from a person previously infected with the disease to a person who had never been exposed to the disease.  This transfer of immunity was similar to a vaccination, except the recipient was never exposed to the pathogen and had none of the side effects associated with vaccination.  There was also no time delay as is associated with a vaccination - immunity was obtained almost immediately.

 As the research progressed, it was discovered that this transfer of immunity, or transfer factor, could be taken orally, and the immunity was still successfully transmitted.  Transfer factor from human blood, however, is very expensive, and with the advent of the AIDS epidemic, doctors were very hesitant to administer human blood products to their patients.  Fortunately, it was discovered that the early mother's milk, colostrum, contains T lymphocytes and transfer factors.  The final research link that made affordable transfer factors possible was the discovery that transfer factor is disease specific, but not species specific.  Specific transfer factors from one species can deliver immunity to another species as long as the donor species has immunity to the correct pathogen.  This discovery made it possible to use cows to manufacture large amounts of human transfer factors relatively inexpensively.

 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.

 To keep your body healthy, your immune system must perform three important functions.  First, it must recognize a pathogen as a threat to the body.  Second, it must attack and kill off the pathogen.  Finally, it must remember the pathogen so your body can quickly destroy the pathogen the next time it is attacked.  The last step is also referred to as immune memory.  Although the exact T lymphocyte source of transfer factor has not been proven, we do know these T lymphocytes have immune memory and use transfer factor to quickly heighten our immune response when we are invaded by a pathogen to which we have been previously exposed.

Overcoming Disease: Transfer factors are not only useful for disease prevention but can also help with diseases already established due to inadequate immune response.  Since transfer factor-producing T lymphocytes are important in immune recognition and memory, impairment of transfer factor production could neutralize the rest of the immune response in otherwise healthy individuals.  Therefore, introducing transfer factors can sometimes enable a dysfunctional immune system to return to normal.

 Another interesting feature of transfer factors is their ability to induce an immune response to not only the specific pathogen the transfer factors donor is known to be immune to, but also to related ones as well.  At first this might seem to be evidence that transfer factors are not specific.  It should be realized, however, that each pathogen can elicit the production of a large family of transfer factors.  Potentially at least one transfer factors will be produced for every part of the pathogen that the immune system see.  If two microorganisms are related, they may display common structures that would be recognized by an immune system induced to respond by this family of transfer factors.  These microorganisms are said to display "cross-reactivity."  This feature makes transfer factor supplementation highly beneficial for diseases in humans that result from microbes that are similar to disease-producing pathogens in cows.

It is important to distinguish human transfer factor produced by cows from colostrum products that are readily available.  Colostrum contains a variety of immune related substances, including transfer factors.  However, the amount of transfer factors per gram of crude colostrum is very low.  Because there is an established dose dependent response for transfer factor, only a purified concentrate with the correct dose can be counted upon to elicit an effective immune response.  A truly effective transfer factor must be assayed for transfer factor activity (in potency units).  Note: Three 200mg capsules of concentrated Transfer Factor is equal to 90 500mg capsules of colostrum.

Available transfer factors: Highly purified transfer factors extracted from cow colostrum are currently available as "polyvalent" transfer factor.  In the near future, specific transfer factors for herpes simplex viruses I & II, Epstein-Barr virus, Varicella Zoster virus, and possibly other viruses may be available.  Polyvalent transfer factor contains all of the transfer factors produced in the cow as the result of the cow's cellular immune response to the foreign microbes to which it was exposed.  These microbes can include bacteria, viruses, fungi and other parasites.  Exposures can occur as the result of vaccinations normally given to cows to insure their own health or as a result of natural exposure to microbes present in the cow's environment.

Target population:  Transfer factors may be beneficial for men, women, and children of all ages, but those most in need are persons with a compromised or under-active immune system.  People with chronic fatigue, fibromyalgia, recurrent bacterial and viral infections, and chronic yeast infections are frequently in need of immune support.  transfer factors is also beneficial for prophylactic use if a person is concerned about contact with pathogens for which transfer factor is available.  While we do not recommend transfer factors as a substitute for vaccination, it may benefit children for whom vaccination is contraindicated.  However, transfer factors do not provide a permanent immunity and must be taken repeatedly.

 Transfer factor research is on the cutting edge of immunology and promises to open new avenues for preventing and treating many diseases inflicting mankind.  As transfer factor research progresses, strategies for using it to direct the immune response against such diverse diseases as cancer, AIDS, or malaria could become available.

We encourage you to use common sense and prudence in evaluating testimonies.  Testimonies can be based on "placebo effects," which basically means that you can experience temporary results just because you really believe you will.  Research can be complicated to translate into real life situations.  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 the healing process.  The testimonies and information on this web site 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 our defense against disease.  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.  Our testimonies are provided to give a general idea of what customers believe is helping their immune systems become healthy and responsive.
