Application of Transfer Factors in Veterinary Medicine
Main page: Transfer Factors Molecules And The Immune System

Dr. Will Falconer, DVM - "Most of the chronic diseases we commonly see in animals (and humans) have an immune basis, e.g. diabetes, allergies, asthma, thyroid disease, inflammatory bowel diseases, repeated ear infections, cancer, etc. While they can be cured through the careful use of homeopathy, the road to cure can be a long one -- often years if the animal has had years of disease. Transfer factors can significantly shorten the course, by giving a much needed balancing effect to the immune system. If the immune system is overactive as in allergies, ear infections, asthma, diabetes, or hypothyroidism, transfer factors can balance this overactivity so the system is not attacking its own organs, overreacting to things that shouldn’t be perceived as a threat. If, conversely, the immune system is under-active as in mange, parasites, viral infections, or cancer, transfer factors plus can clearly stimulate it to better meet the challenges it needs to be alert to."

Dr. Steven Slagle, DVM  - 'A cat with Leukemia, an oral tumor, and posterior paralysis due to a spinal tumor was very ill and emaciated.  One month after starting her on Transfer Factor Plus (human formula) at 1 capsule per day, there was some regression of the oral tumor, restored appetite with some weight gain, and  increased sociability.  Five months later, this cat continues to improve - she regained her normal weight, her oral tumor has regressed 80%, and she has regained the use of her hind legs and tail."   additional testimonials

IMPORTANT NOTE: Many veterinarians recommend the human transfer factors formula, instead of the Canine and Feline Complete formula for their sick animals. In the below testimonials, the veterinarians, medical doctor and pet owner used the human formulas, Transfer Factor, to treat their animals. Dr. Slagle (above) used the human formula to treat the leukemia, paralysed cat. The human formula comes in a small capsule and it is easier to give a sick animal who doesn't want to eat. It is easy to shove the capusle into the throat, or empty the content into the pet's food. Some people mix the powder with a little water and squirt it into the animal's throat with an ear syringe.

xxxApplication of Transfer Factor in Veterinary Medicine:  Canine, Feline, Equine and Livestock  Transfer Factors Equine & Livestock Health

Simply stated, transfer factors are tiny molecules that are able to convey immunity information from one entity to another to educate naïve cells about a present or potential danger along with a plan for action. Although the mostly notable function of these smart molecules is to speed up the recognition phase of an infection making the duration of an illness much shorter, transfer factors also have the ability to suppress an over active immune system. All said, transfer factors have the ability to balance out the function of your immune system, whether it needs to increase in function or be reduced in the case of auto-immune disorders.
Richard H. Bennett, Ph.D - "For decades, the approach to maintaining healthy animals was to wait for signs and symptoms of disease to occur and to counter the challenge with an array of drugs which were toxic for the disease causing agent.  This approach is now being questioned as the armada of drugs is diminishing due to multiple drug resistant pathogens.  Compounding this alarming trend is the current approach to health maintenance which assumes that "all is well" until actual disease processes begin. By this time, the disease is established, sometimes irreversibly, and the damage has occurred.  So the questions arises...What if a new paradigm existed?  Could it be possible to optimize the immune status of animals so that (1) disease is much less likely to occur and (2) if disease does occur, it's severity and duration is minimized?  The answer is YES and this paradigm shift is being engineered by small, naturally occuring protein-like molecules called TRANSFER FACTORS." Dr. Richard Bennett holds a doctorate in Comparatie Pathology from the University of California, Davis.  His work in this area includes basic and applied research in infectious disease microbiology and immunology.  read the testimonials from veterinarians who use transfer factors in their practice and cancer cases

"I had two situations where we had spent a long time building up two older, severely immunocompromised dogs, and then their owners had them vaccinated for just about everything known to man," recalled Dr. Carvel Tiekert, executive director and founder of the American Holistic Veterinary Medical Association headquartered in Bel Air, Maryland. "Both of those dogs died within about a month of vaccination. Can we prove a cause and effect? No. Do I think there was a cause and effect? Yes." more on vaccination issue

Question to Dr. Falconer: does vaccination (or over-vaccination) causes overactive immune reaction (autoimmune disorder) or does it cause suppression of the immune system?
Dr. Will Falconer: "The answer is YES.  Probably both.  I think the main thing is, vaccination *confuses* the immune system, as I point out in my heartworm eBook. So, it could go either way, or alternate over time between the two. Transfer factorsshould be given before and immediately after vaccination for at least a few weeks to help ameliorate the confusion (when someone is faced with a mandatory vaccination, or has decided they want to give one).  By priming the immune system with transfer factors, the immune intelligence should be less confused, though I'm not sure that's measurable."  Read Dr. Falconer's comment on using Transfer Factor Plus for tumors in a dog's ear

Deadly, Contagious Dog Flu Virus
Dr. Cynda Crawford, an immunologist at the University of Florida's College of Veterinary Medicine who is studying the virus, said that it spread most easily where dogs were housed together but that it could also be passed on the street, in dog runs or even by a human transferring it from one dog to another. Kennel workers have carried the virus home with them.

Independent Study - Transfer factors were tested for their ability to increase Natural Killer Cell (NK) activity. The researchers used peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) isolated from human volunteers. Test results showed that Transfer factors boosted NK cell activity 103% above normal immune response without supplementation, more than two times higher than the next highest product. The study also showed that Transfer Factor Plus increased the NK cell activity over 430% above normal immune response without supplementation, or about five times higher than any of the other previously tested products.

Dogs, Distemper, and Transfer Factor Plus
By Dr. Baruch Rosen, M.D.

As a physician of nearly thirty years, I was well aware that no antibiotic would protect against the ravages of viral disease, particularly canine distemper which shows similarities to HIV.  My seven month old white haired Shepard was adopted from a local shelter and was initially joyful and healthy.  Within three weeks he developed coarse bronchitis with heavy mucus drainage of the nose and eyes.  Our well intentioned vet believed the problem to be kennel cough and started antibiotics.  Over the next ten days Romeo failed to improve, but instead experienced seven hard and long grand mall seizures in one weekend, a partial paralysis of the hind quarters which made him fall flat when attempting to walk and a "spaced-out gaze" of non-recognition.  Blood studies confirmed distemper and showed a white cell count (lymphocytes) of only 264 slightly more than ten percent of normal. Our vet plus a second out-of-state consulting vet, an expert in distemper were very sympathetic and advised me to prepare myself to euthanize Romeo.

The heartache was compounded when Chico, my thirteen month old Chihuahua developed similar symptoms of hard coughing and heavy mucus drainage from the eyes.  Reviewing his shot record, I learned he was mistakenly given only one distemper immunization, leaving him inadequately protected; and by licking Romeo's mucus and drinking from his water dish had contracted the infection.

Knowing little to nothing about canine distemper, I turned to the internet and luckily stumbled on to transfer factors, a preparation which enhances and stimulates the body's own immune system to fight against all pathogens, viral or otherwise.  My thirty years in medicine told me this was the only solution.  I hurriedly became a distributor to get the product and started Chico and Romeo on one cap daily encased in one teaspoonful of raw hamburger.  Over the next two weeks all cough and mucus drainage ceased. Romeo's follow-up blood count had risen to normal range at 2217 and he surprised to whole family by jumping a five foot wall.  He romps and plays all day long with Chico, now responds normally to his name and appears to be his old joyful self again. 

Having witnessed the recoveries of Chico and Romeo, and after further study, all family members are taking Transfer Factor Plus, one cap daily; our insurance policy to protect against a faltering immune system, the inevitable consequence of aging and exposure to nvironmental pollution and toxins.  As for my distributorship status, I fully intend to spread the word to all my colleagues and good friends. Dr. Baruch Rosen, M.D.

Dr.Sam Jones, DVM -  "A four month old kitten had a severe skin condition that was diagnosed as ringworm.  After four months of conventional therapy, the resistant ringworm infection was not resolved.  We put the kitten on transfer factors and within 5 days there were no apparent ringworm lesions remaining.  Within a few weeks all the hair had grown back - and the now 9 month old cat has a beautiful, glossy coat.  The ringworm lesions have not returned."

American Medical Review: 4life Transfer FactorThe American Medical Review: Transfer Factors
Dr. Sam Jones, DVM - Two cats, both about 8 years old, had severe diabetes.  It was impossible to get the insulin requirements adjusted.  They had lost weight to a point that they were skin and bones.  Both cats had no quality of life left.  After one week of being on Transfer Factor, we were able to get their insulin requirements adjusted.  It is now six months later and they have both  regained their weight, and have a great quality of life and health.


Veterinarians Equine testimonials

Dr. Molly Metz, DVM, Lexington, Kentucky 

  •  A 3-yr-old warmblood with history of chronic cough and nasal discharge was unresponsive to antibiotics. Within two weeks of being on transfer factors, both the nasal discharge and cough went away. This colt is being maintained on a maintenance dose of Transfer Factor Performance and Show.
  •  A 19-yr-old late gestation mare had stringhalt, ataxia, and moderate ear droop. I began the mare on TF Performance and Show to improve its immune function prior to foaling. After 30 days of being on the TF Performance and Show, this mare had no evidence of stringhalt or ataxia, and only a mild ear droop. This is the first time in her life she was able to pull her ear forward in a normal position. She also is cushionoid and suffered miserably in last summer's heat, being unable to sweat. This spring, when temperatures reached 80 degrees, she was sweating in the field.
  •  I had a 2-year-old thoroughbred filly with a history of multiple bone pain and suspected neurological condition. This filly was diagnosed with physitis in multiple bones (via bone scan) and as a wobbler on radiographs. I placed her on the animal products to see if she could be improved enough to go into training. The farm has begun breaking her and her movement has improved by approximately 80%. I am waiting to hear if the farm feels she's good enough to go to the track.



Dr. Joe Raemakers, DVM - "We recently had an experience with a 30-year-old horse who had a leg swollen from infection. I applied transfer factors directly to the leg and within 6 days the swelling was totally gone. I checked his lymphocyte level and he had a 27% increase since the use of transfer factors. THAT’S JUST PHENOMENAL!"

Transfer Factors For Humans

Many veterinarians around the world use the human formula, transfer factors because it is more potent and easier to administer to a very sick animal. In the above testimonials,  the veterinarians, medical doctor and pet owner used the human formula, transfer factors to treat their sick animals (not the canine or felinecomplete formulas). 

Some of the veterinary conditions that Dr. Timothey Couzens DVM has been treating with the human formulas transfer factors (TF)  and transfer factors Plus (TF+) are: 

- various forms of anaemia, especially autoimmune haemolytic anaemia (TF)
- nail bed infections (TF+)
- overactive thyroid in elderly cats (TF)
- anal ferunculosis in a dog (TF+)
- chronic mange (TF+)
- fatigue in an elderly donkey who now has a new lease of life!
- liver/kidney failure/weakness (TF+)
- interdigital cysts/blisters in a dog (TF)

Other vets here in Europe, using the human formulas of TF and TF+  have had success with:
- coryza in cats (TF+)
- bone marrow cancer (TF+)
- oral tumours in cats (TF+)
- FeLV/FVR/FIV in cats (TF+)

Personally I find it is easier to give the content of a small capsule of high potency of transfer factors to very sick dog or cat, especially if they have difficulty eating or if they have a sensitive stomach. The canine or felinecomplete formulas contain yeast and some dogs have a sensitivity to yeast which may give them the run. My dog Shasta (65 pounds) was sensitive to yeast. I gave her the transfer factors (human formula) which I think is a more potent immune booster. I started by giving her one capsule of TF+ a day (I shoved a capsule in her mouth or mixed it in her food) for 3 consecutive days. As she did well on one capsule, I increased the dosage to 2 capusles a day (one morning and one evening). A few weeks later, as she had recovered her health, I decreased the dosage to one capsule a day as a maintenance dosage.  Shirley

The Germ Survival Guide recommends transfer factors. This new book written by Kenneth A. Bock, M.D., Steven J. Bock, M.D. is designed to give families and individuals preventative strategies to use to protect against germs and environmental threats. Transfer factors are extolled in the book as an effective way to optimize immune system function so that personal immunity is at its best in the face of a variety of health threats.

The difference between Transfer Factor (Classic) and Transfer Factor Plus (adv. formula)

Immune system disorders fall into two broad categories:

  1. Immunodeficiency- when the immune system does not recognize invaders as being undesirable and therefore does not mobilize to destroy them.
  2. Autoimmunity (self-destruction) - when the immune system fails to recognize 'self' as friendly and mounts an attack on itself." Explaining Autoimmune Disease by David Isenberg, PhD and John Morrow, PhD
Duane Townsend, MD - "Transfer Factor Classic helps to modulate the immune system." (autoimmunity - over-active immune system)

Baruch Rosen MD - "Transfer Factor Plus Advanced formula, a preparation which enhances and stimulates the body's own immune system to fight against all pathogens, viral or otherwise."  (Immunodeficiency - underactive immune system)

Directions for giving the human formula transfer factors to animals, as suggested by veterinarians:

Transfer Factor Classic and Transfer Factor Advanced Formula  Canine, feline and other animals dosages Transfer Factor

1 to 25 lb.       1- 4 daily
26 to 50 lb.      2-3 daily
51 to 100 lb.    3-4 daily
100+ lb.          4-6 daily

Transfer Factor PLUS Advanced Formula Canine, feline and other animals dosages Transfer Factor Plus

1 to 25 lb.       1- 2 daily
26 to 50 lb.      2-3 daily
51 to 100 lb.   3-4 daily
100+ lb.         4-6 daily

Note: Some veterinarians start animals on a small amount of Transfer Factor Plus for 3 consecutive days and increase the dose gradually. The content of the capsule can be mixed with pet food or treats (sardines, cheese, etc.) Some pet owners find it easier to shove a capsule in the pet's throat or to mix the content in a little broth and use a syringe to inject the product into the animal's mouth. Although Transfer Factor and Transfer Factor Plus  are best given throughout the day, satisfactory results have been obtained by giving the dose once a day. The manufacturer recommends to double or triple these amounts if the animal is ill in order to increase the efficiency of the immune system further. There is no report of overdosing on TF or TF Plus even when consuming massive amounts.

Five years ago, when Dr. Burlingame started using Transfer Factor and Transfer Factor Plus in his veterinary practice, he didn’t always get the results he hoped for. Since then, he says, he’s discovered that for maximum benefit, transfer factors needs to be started early and at high enough doses.  “It’s a numbers game when you’re dealing with bacteria and viruses,” he says. It is crucial to get high enough numbers of transfer factors into the system to combat the high levels of bacteria or viruses. Recently, Dr. Burlingame had a four-month-old puppy come into to his clinic. The puppy had bloody diarrhea and all the symptoms of parvovirus. In addition to the typical antibiotics, antiemetics, and IV fluids, he gave the puppy 1,400 mgs per day of Transfer Factor (supplement facts). The puppy was home in three days. “I wish I had this a long time ago,” he says.  According to Dr. Burlingame, transfer factors usually takes about 48 to 72 hours to educate the immune system. He looks for a regression in symptoms, particularly in the case of infections, within the first 48 to 72 hours. He says he will often see an improvement or increase in white blood cell counts in that time frame as well. And, overall, the patient will begin to feel and therefore act better. Excerpt from the the Whole Dog Journal

Dosage for birds "I have two pigeons. I just returned from Germany where there was an international show for pigeons. One of my birds became very ill. Its droppings became very watery and green. I decided to try to transfer factors. WOW! The pigeon was up and running around like a spring chic." — Layne Bowles 

Caged Birds -- (as suggested by Dr. Falconer DVM ) "Use Transfer Factor animal stress pack. Mix 1 level tsp./ 2 oz. (5T.) water. Give as drinking water. For larger amounts (pigeons, poultry, etc.) mix 1 to 2 oz. (1/2 to 1 packet) Stress Pack with 1 gallon of drinking water. Change water daily and give 7-14 days. This would be useful in any infectious diseases and is intended for use in short term (max 14 days) only. I also use the animal stress pack when I want to get high levels of the TF in someone right away. It's very soluble and tasty in this form. For longer term use, say in liver disease or tumors, I'd graduate to the Transfer Factor Plus, guestimating the dosage based on bodyweight from the cat dose." 

These products have absolutely no toxicity or side effects even at mega doses. You may increase the amounts even further to achieve the desired level of immune efficiency.

Mange  - Many normal dogs carry the mange parasite. Holistic veterinarians believe that it becomes a problem and spreads through the skin when there are immune problems, inherited skin defects or illness for other reasons. Holistic treatments aim to improve the general health, particularly the immune system, and to homeopathically treat the inherited factors. 

Dr. Will Falconer DVM - "Demodectic mange mites are common flora in man and animals. Reread that if you think this is a typo, because it’s a fact: we all have demodectic mites as residents on our skin. Why aren’t we all itchy and broken out with eruptions? Only one reason: the immune system keeps these parasites in check. So, when a dog is diagnosed with demodectic mange, and he’s got crusty patches around his face or toes or all over, what that means, first and foremost, is that his immune system needs help! Unfortunately, the common treatment is to dip the affected dogs in very toxic chemicals to kill the mites. So toxic, in fact, that the personnel dipping the dog wear rubber gloves and aprons! This has never made sense to me, as we know poisons have a clearly detrimental effect on the immune system. Wouldn’t it make more sense to strengthen the immune system and thereby get the normal flora of mites back in control? It can be done, and Transfer Factor Plus Advanced Formula would be the best course, along with Canine Complete. For the average 40 - 60 lb dog, I’d start with Animal Stress Pack  at recommended doses for two weeks. Then, follow this with Canine Complete at label doses and add the Transfer Factor Plus Advanced Formula at two capsules twice a day. To discourage mites topically, paint on lavender essential oil, diluted 1:10 with almond oil. This can be applied twice a day. Be sure to avoid the eyes, however. You’ll need to give this regimen time, from at least a few weeks to a few months. And, again, don’t short change nutrition, avoid vaccines, and work with your homeopathic veterinarian to improve health and cure the underlying illness that allowed the immune system to get so sluggish.".

"I adopted my dog Jojo a few yeals ago. He was 13 at the time and about to go to the pound because his previous owner was moving and couldn't keep him. When he came to me he was showing signs of age. He had a hard time walking and his eyesight and hearing were a bit impaired. Eventually, he came to a point where he would no longer eat. This went on for seven days. He would find a secluded corner and sleep most of the time. I felt like he was just miserable, hardly alive and going downhill fast. As each day passedI would watch him get a little worse. I finally made the heartbreaking decision to take him to the vet and have him put to sleep. Someone told me about the Marine PhytoPlankton and I decided to try it on Jojo as a last resort.  I started giving him a small amount of a marine phytoplankton tonic with his evening meal. In two months, Jojo made a complete recovery. I used to have to wake him up when I got home from work. Now Jojo greets me at the door barking and wagging his tail' His eyesight and hearing have also improved - he seems more aware of his sunoundings and is playful and attentive. I don't think he would be in such good health if it weren't for adding marine phytoplankton tonic to his diet. It has literally made the difference for him. My son has dubbed it Jojo's go-go juice. I am grateful for this product for bringing our family pet back to health." Dan R.

Dr. Jerry Tennant, M.D. says that marine phytoplankton contains almost everything one needs to sustain life and to restore health by providing the raw materials to make new cells that function normally. Marine phytoplankton has been called "the most nutritionally dense foods on the planet". Containing a wide range of trace elements, amino acids, vitamins, minerals, chlorophyll, enzymes and cellular materials, marine phytoplankton promotes and maintains optimum health by boosting and supporting all systems within the body. Its antioxidants and unique polysaccharides can halt the genetic mutations that can lead to cancer. Both high levels of saccharides and adaptogens increase energy and stamina by improving our ability to consume and use oxygen. Adaptogens also improve cardiovascular health by strengthening the heart and circulation.  more about marine phytoplankton's healing power

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

Question: Would transfer factors help in this case? 

Dr. Falconer DVM: Yes, the Transfer Factor Plus Advanced Formula would be helpful, and with homeopathy and that, surgery could be avoided.  They can look for a qualified homeopath near them at www.theavh.org.  If not, I could work with them by phone, but not for a couple of weeks. It's really amazing to me the way people lock onto the "emergency" need -- got to do this right now!  And only see one option.  Such is the world, I guess.  Fear drives most of conventional medicine.  Good luck getting a word in on natural methods. I'd dose the Transfer Factor Plus Advanced Formula, at 2 capsules twice a day, and after a week, take it to 3 capsules twice a day.  Should be not averse effects whatsoever, and could only help.  They should give it a month, as this is very chronic.  If they work with a homeopath, it'll be somewhat faster.  And they'll learn not to vaccinate this poor devil, which may have a big role in causing these polyps.

Question: What do you recommend for a 3 year old dog with advanced osteosarcoma?  (bone cancer)

Dr. Falconer DVM:"The products I'd recommend for his situation are the following: Transfer Factor animal stress pack  (can only be used for up to 14 days), Transfer Factor Plus Advanced Formula and Choice Prime. The regimen for him would be to start the transfer factors animal stress pack according to label instructions, and, after a few days on this, I'd add in the TF Plus at 2 twice a day. The Choice Prime is a very potent antioxidant that's had some anticancer effects.  Dose him at 1 twice a day, right from the beginning, and stay with that dose.  Should also help with pain"

Deadly, Contagious Dog Flu Virus
Question: Can Transfer Factor Plus offer an effective means of staving off the Canine Flu disease?

Dr. Falconer DVM: Absolutely!  If the immune system is primed, it doesn't matter what one is exposed to in terms of infectious agents.  They will be seen as foreigners.  Best strategy is to prime the immune system *beforehand* though -- much less effect trying to treat ones already ill. To treat diarrhea, whether it's caused by parvo, this so-called flu, e.coli, or whatever, the Transfer Factor Plus Advanced Formula shines.  Pediatrician Dr. Markowitz M.D., told how it saved children with acute diarrhea who were very seriously ill with the Transfer Factor Plus Advanced Formula. This is off label use, but illustrates the point. Anyone facing infectious diarrhea in any species should be armed with this!  Can't be overemphasized -- this will save lives.

Question: My rabbit had uterine cancer removed 2 years ago. Was ok for 2 years. And recently had another tumor removed which had broken through the skin. The vet told me he had the tumor tested, and that the cancer had reached the outer edges. And so has probably begun to form in other areas, of the rabbits body. So this seems like the best time. To try transfer factors. But- rabbits are really delicate digestive systems. What is your Opinion on this?

Dr. Falconer DVM: You are very right about this species having it's digestive issues. We learned that antibiotics can really harm these creatures. The beauty of transfer factors is that they do not upset balance anywhere in the body, but greatly aid in the restoration of same, especially in the immune system. The safest bet would be to start with the plain Transfer Factor Advanced Formula  which is only the colostrum and egg yolk derived transfer factors. Once on that for a couple of weeks, say at 1 cap twice a day, I wouldn't hesitate to add some of the Transfer Factor Plus Advanced Formula to the equation, say at one cap per day. If that's well tolerated, I might consider giving 1twice a day after a couple of weeks, in addition to the Transfer Factor Advanced at the same dose.

Question: Can Transfer Factor be used with Steroids? 

Dr. Falconer DVM: You can certainly use TF products with steroids.  It's not a matter of the TF interfering with the steroids, rather the other way around, as the steroids are potent immune suppressors.  As we've had some success with EPM in the horse with TF Performance and Show, I think it's a great idea to try it on this horse, even though they didn't confirm the diagnosis.

SUPPORT

Rob Robertson, M.D. - "Nearly everything that goes wrong with us and our pets, with the exception of trauma - i.e. broken bones, etc., can be traced directly to an immune system failure".  Pollution, drug overload and nutrient-poor diets compromise our immune health. The key to self-healing is a strong defense system, which protects dogs and cats from everything from the flu germs to cancer cells.  More than their mainstream counterparts, holistic veterinarians believe that a weak immune system plays a key role in causing disease.  Drugs aren't the answer for immune enhancement. The immune system is not responsive to drugs for healing. Antibiotics fight infection, but they don't affect whatever weakened the immune system in the first place.  This is why holistic veterinarians focus less on things that cause diseases and more on those that affect the body's defenses."
