Supporting Your Child's Immune System with Transfer
Factor
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.

Dr. David Markowitz, M.D "I have
now completed a retrospective study comparing children in our practice
who did not use transfer factors;
during the same period. 87 children, age 8 months through 9 years, used
transfer factors;. We found 74% less reported illness and 84% less reported
use of antibiotics. In approximately 250 patient months of kids
on transfer
factors only one has returned for antibiotics, and that was after 2-1/2
months. I had been seeing him in my office every 2 weeks prior to using
transfer factors. Over 50 years of scientific research supports the use
of transfer factors in human beings, with medical studies using transfer
factors (TF) currently being completed around the world in many centers.
With virtually no side effects, immune supplementation with transfer factors
has resulted in clear improvement in levels of wellness in hundreds of
our general pediatric population, with over 600 patients aged birth to
18 showing 75% less illness and over 80% less antibiotic use compared to
non-users.
Children
with specific and more serious health challenges also showed improved quality
of life and wellness when their immune systems were supported with Transfer
Factor. This extra-ordinary history of success in improved health through
supplementation in my medical practice, and recognizing the potential impact
of transfer factors on human health in general, led me to a decision to
leave pediatrics to share this impressive immune support line with as many
people and communities as possible. It is a decision that fulfills my original
life and professional purpose of encouraging health and wellness and disease
prevention and having a meaningful impact on the lives of “little” and
“big” people everywhere. Imagine for a second, all of humanity filled with
strong, healthy, balanced immune systems, effectively
fighting the overwhelming number of health challenges we face today, many
of which are caused by infectious agents (bacteria and viruses) and by
an abnormal, harmful inflammatory response in the body. That is NOT an
impossible imaginary dream: not with the immune supplementation of transfer
factors.
EVERYONE
in the World needs immune support and balancing - and these products have
the capability of achieving that goal. Imagine again a world with significantly
reduced heart disease, malignancy, infectious disease, auto-immune disease,
allergy, and asthma; all because of people having strong, healthy immune
systems. Imagine the improved quality of life, the reduced struggles and
stress of dis-ease, the dramatic impact on health care costs, hospitalizations,
insurance costs and on the consequent stresses associated therewith."

Nothing
is more important to us than to see our children healthy and happy.
They are the most important people in our lives. We want to give
our kids only the best things that will help them grow healthy and strong.
Especially since we live in a world that is now faced with more and more
health challenges everyday. Children are more prone to colds, flus,
ear infections, stresses, and other serious diseases than adults, as their
immune systems are not yet fully developed. Often times kids play,
touch and get into all kinds of dirty things that compromise their health.
They might touch things like animals, toys, money and other foreign objects.
They play in the sandbox, in swimming pools and are around other kids that
may be sick too. With so many health challenges out there, no wonder
moms and pediatricians everywhere are excited about transfer factors.
transfer factors. transfer
factors is the most advanced health supplement ever developed
for children.
"My daughter, who was 3-1/2
at the time, had frequent colds and virus' with high fevers
that always turned into ear infections. We lived like this
since she was a little over a year old. The doctor was already talking
'tubes,' which scared me tremendously. I had also had enough of pumping
this poor child with one series of antibiotics after another, knowing this
was going to destroy her immune system. Through my own education
and personal experience with natural healing, I knew that if I boosted
her immune system, the reoccurrence of the ear infections would diminish
on their own, and I would never have to go down the 'tube' route or antibiotics
again! I have been giving my daughter, now almost 5, TF Kids every
single day for one year now, and this child has not had one ear infection
since I started her on the chewables. She does get a cold every now
and then, but much less frequently and they seem to disappear as fast as
the symptoms started, leaving no chance for ear infections anymore.
The virus' she used to experience with the high fever for days (unknown
origin) have been non-existent! I wish every parent would put their
child on TF Kids, for every loving reason in the world! It is because
of this experience that I became a 4Life distributor, because I believe
in the products." Bree Weasner

"It was Summer/Fall of 2005.
My two older children, my husband and myself all came down with a stomach
bug. It seemed to cycle between all of us, over and over for weeks
on end. We would seem to be well for a few weeks, and then it would
hit us again. This happened approximately 8 times in a 2 year period.
I talked to our pediatrician several times at first, but was told "it's
a virus that's going around". My mother's intuition told me otherwise...I
knew without a doubt that we were all getting this because our immunity
was weak in particular to this strain of virus, but I didn't know what
exactly to do about it. We had been taking multi-vitamins, but they
had proven to not be enough of a boost. We tried extra vitamin C,
but again, no change...we were still getting sick. Our latest bout,
was the end of this summer (2007), and we all got sick again, except my
youngest child was now added to the list. With him being 2 years
of age and sick (vomiting, diarrhea, no appetite) for 3 weeks, I knew we
had to find 'something' that would really boost our immunity to this bug
once and for all. I learned about this
immune modulator/booster product and I felt it was what we had been
looking for. It was perfectly safe for all of us to take regardless
of age. It was amazing, because it ended the cycle of the virus in
our home almost at once. Thankfully, we have all been well now for a month!
My youngest child 'tried' to get a cold last week, but I doubled up on
the transfer factors for a couple of days, and the cold never really took
hold. It got "kicked to the curb" so-to-speak." Charlotte Smith,

Duane
Townsend M.D. - "I have seen transfer
factors knock out colds,
sore throats, etc., but it also
has helped Fibromyalgia, neurological problems, chronic yeast infections.
All of our cancer patients are using transfer factors."
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 factor 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 factor,
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 a new transfer factor for that specific virus or pathogen. For
individuals challenged by specific pathogens – such as those suffering
with chronic illnesses like Chronic
Fatigue Syndrome, supplementation with the appropriate transfer factor
molecule may provide the ‘missing link,’ thereby allowing the immune
system to target and destroy the offending pathogen, and mitigate the
symptoms of the disease." Dr.
Robertson is a former Emergency Room Physician. He 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.
Transfer factors have three primary
functions. When we encounter a potential microbial threat, transfer
factors:
1. Recognize and alert
our immune system to the "threat"
2.
Condition our immune system
to respond quickly to "threats"
3. Remember the threats
we encounter to quickly respond to them in the future
"My daugter who is 4 years old
now has been taking transfer factors for kids since May of 2006. It has
been close to a year now and I see just how amazing her health has been.
She is around pre-schoolers and not too long ago we were visiting family
and friends who were sick or getting over a cold , without a doubt I was
not worried about her health at all , and she did not and has not gotten
sick ever since being on transfer factors. Her immune system is at its
best" Veronica Holton email: v.holton @ sbcglobal.net
Testimonial from Nanci
Mikels about her son who suffered from seizures: "At the age of 2 yrs.
I had a healthy boy. When he turned 29 month old, Josh had a seizure
which put him in the hospital and we found out he had
Hydrocephalus
and so they put a shunt
in his head at that time. From then on, Josh was in the hospital a lot.
He had seizures, and he always threw up and suffered with pain of
migraine headaches. The vomiting was possibly also from the mal-functioning
of the shunt. The shunt was revised at age 7. When he turned 9 when we
heard about transfer factors. We gave him the recommended dosage for this
immune modulator/booster product,
which is 3 per day. Within 2 months his seizures had reduced and vomiting
had stopped and he only had to go to the hospital once within those two
months. He had gone to the hospital in a ambulance every month from age
29 months until he started taking transfer factors but between that time
and now, age 12, he has not been in the hospital and does not throw up.
It has amazed us how transfer factors changed his life. He sleeps well
at night now. His disposition is good, he is definitely a happy kid." Nanci

AUTISM - The
Clinical Use of transfer factors and Glyconutrients in Children with
Autistic Spectrum Disorders
In a landmark study, Dr. H. Hugh Fudenberg, M.D. found that of 22 Autistic
children, 21 improved significantly and 10 were considered to be recovered
and mainstreamed in their schools following
transfer
factorstreatment. After the treatment was discontinued, some
showed regression, but none returned to their prior baseline levels. Dr.
Fudenberg used the lymphocyte based transfer factors in his treatment,
and while these results have been replicated using that treatment protocol,
they have not been replicated using the colostrum based treatment. Recent
Publications Authored by Dr. H. Hugh Fudenberg
Dr. Buttram M.D. "At
the present time there are growing public and professional concerns about
the safety of currently mandated childhood vaccine programs, as reflected
in by a series of annual Congressional hearings in Washington DC that have
taken place since 1999, sponsored by the U.S. House Government Reform Committee
under the chairmanship of Congressman Dan Burton. At an annual conference
of the American College for the Advancement of Medicine during April 2001,
with several hundred physicians in attendance, when one of the speakers
asked how many in attendance had concerns
about the safety of current childhood vaccines, a large majority raised
their hands. The Autism Research Institute of San Diego is now widely known
as an active support group for families with autistic children and is one
of the more active organizations in this field. Its founding director,
Bernard
Rimland, Ph.D., has provided the statistics that, in their experience,
from 50 to 60% of parents with autistic children believe that their children
were damaged by vaccines. In our own office we have seen many autistic
children in recent years, and our own experience has been very similar,
many parents reporting that deterioration of their children took place
following vaccines" more

Children and adults are being
exposed to thousands of trillions (quadrillions) of mercury atoms each
day primarily from dental
amalgam fillings in the mouth, which leak toxic vapors twenty-four
hours a day seven days a week. Most recently though, mercury has been increasing
in the foods we eat, especially in the form of fish. It is also increasingly
in the air and the water we drink and is entering into the soil where it
is just beginning to threaten biological activity there. In the next ten
years, we will pollute the world with approximately another sixty to ninety
thousand tons of mercury after already adding over 600 thousand tons during
the past century.
Autism: Our Son's Amazing Improvement with Glyconutrients
and Transfer Factors Nutritionals
by Alicia N., Wisconsin,
August
2005
Our
son Nason was born in November 2002 happy, healthy and beautiful.
He developed normally and reached all of his milestones. After Nason
received his 1st year immunizations, he completely withdrew from us and
the rest of the world, spending the majority of his time staring at his
fingers, spinning, or gazing into space. His preferred companion
was a pen or any other vertical object he could find. He lost
his ability to walk up and down the stairs, feed himself and began to self-select
foods leaving him with a total of 2 foods in his diet. Nason also
broke out with severe eczema all over his body and became irritable anytime
we tried to cuddle with him. (Auto-Immunity,
Vaccines and Autism)
I suspected autism and had Nason evaluated by the
State’s local Birth to 3 program who later recommended that Nason have
the maximum amount of speech, OT, and education that the State offered
for children at this developmental state. The case worker revealed to me
that Nason exhibited classic symptoms of autism and shortly, thereafter,
he received his official diagnosis. I was devastated but knew I had
to do everything I could to help him. We followed through with the
DAN
protocol and conducted several biological tests which determined that
Nason had excessive amounts of mercury, aluminum and cadmium as well as
severe yeast overgrowths throughout his body.
We immediately placed Nason on the gluten
/casein/sugar free diet as well as other DAN treatments such as vitamin
therapy, probiotics, and enzymes.
We followed this protocol for about 11 months and saw some improvement.
Nason’s eczema cleared and he developed eye-contact as well as a few words,
but he still clearly was autistic. Even though, we loved our child
unconditionally, we still had hope that there was something more for him.
During my research in the past year, I always came across something called
“glyconutrients”. I pretty much dismissed this as another vitamin
supplement and didn’t give it much thought. However, considering
we hit a plateau with his progress, I decided it was time to seriously
research this product to determine if it was right for Nason.
I came in contact with Shirley and other members of her team, who educated
me not only on the essentials and benefits of glyconutrients
but also a product called transfer
factors. transfer factors, generally, is an immune boosting supplement
using the protein molecules of colostrum. (the first mother's milk).
Since Nason had a severe dairy sensitivity, I was unable to give him straight
colostrum in the past. transfer factors product was perfect
since it was stripped of the dairy allergen. Finally, Nason could
have the benefits of colostrum without the side effects. Once my
research was complete, we decided to start out with the more aggressive
approach since Nason had already been on other supplements for the past
year.
We started him on the Glyconutrients supplements: 4 teaspoons
of the glyconutrients,
and 2 capsules of the Transfer Factor Classic
(eventually increased to 4 capsules) in addition to this other biological
treatments. Within 2 days of taking these products, Nason went into
detoxification mode. Considering all of the treatments we had administered
in the past, Nason had never experienced a healing crisis until now.
Some of his symptoms consisted of diarrhea, pounded his feet on the floor,
hyperactivity, and increased stimming. Although, it was difficult
to see Nason in such distress, I knew that this was a sign of his healing.
Finally, the toxins were finding a way out of his body!!! This
initial die-off lasted approximately 2 weeks and suddenly we saw a new
Nason emerge.
Alicia N.'s detailed protocol for her son
Nason
Within 2 days of starting the program, Nason went into detoxification
mode. Considering all of the treatments we had administered in the
past, Nason had never experienced a healing
crisis
until now. Some of his symptoms consisted of diarrhea,
pounded his feet on the floor, hyperactivity, and increased stimming.
Although, it was difficult to see Nason in such distress, I knew that this
was a sign of his healing. Finally, the toxins were finding a way
out of his body!!! This initial die-off lasted approximately
2 weeks and suddenly we saw a new Nason emerge.
Before, I started these products; I was advised that it may take up
to 3 months before I saw any progress in Nason’s state. So you can
imagine my surprise when he started using 3-4 word sentences, initiating
conversation, putting his head on my shoulder spontaneously (he hadn’t
done this since he was an infant), and reaching out for affection only
2 ½ weeks after the initial die-off. Nason’s teachers
were even amazed when he started played with a helicopter appropriately
instead of gazing at it for periods of time. He also became anxious
when I left the room. In the past, he wasn’t concerned with my whereabouts
and now he calls out “ma, where are you?” when I leave the room.
His penchant for vertical objects had also become less appealing.
My husband and I were amazed and floored that he improved so quickly after
taking these products and realized they were the key factors in activating
Nason’s healing. We are so grateful for the healing that Nason
has had after only one month and look forward to a full recovery with the
help of these products.
I have only spoken on behalf of these nutritional products since I believe
these were the missing links to Nason’s protocol. As a parent of
an autistic child, I am not in the business of promoting products for financial
gain or any other reason other than to assist parents in finding the right
protocol for their child. I can empathize with what parents endure
in trying to restore hope in their child’s future. I whole-heartingly
believe in these products’ benefits in conjunction with a healthy diet,
discipline and most of all a positive and loving attitude.

Dr.
Less Tremaine writes thatthe dosage for autism and autism spectrum
disorders is 1800 mg. of transfer
factors.
Start with 300 mg. 3 times a day, then 600 mg. 3 times a day, then 900
mg. a day. There may be detoxing
involved so you may have to start more slowly. One mother said when
her child took less than 1800 mg. per day, the symptoms came back."
(One bottle of TF classic contains 90 capsules and one capsule is 200 mg.
The other bottles of TF contains 60 capsules. When purchasing Transfer
Factor by the case, you can get 12 bottles for the price of 10)
Kenneth
A. Bock, MD - "Numerous anecdotal reports have been accumulating on
the use of transfer factor in children with autistic spectrum disorders
and improvement in their clinical behaviors. This would certainly make
sense in terms of the Th1 type cytokine profile that these transfer factors
would encourage. Therefore we are presently studying a number of children
with autistic spectrum disorders that appear to exhibit regressive behavior
after vaccinations, especially the MMR vaccination. We have found that
the serum cytokine profiles we began looking at were not helpful. Likewise
rubella and rubeola titers did not prove that helpful as well. We also
looked at retinol levels and these have been decreased in a significant
number of these children. We have found the most useful objective measurement
to be the Gilliam Autism Rating Scale (GARS), which we administer at the
beginning of the study and then at six weeks into the study and then three
months into the study, after they have been taking polyvalent transfer
factors at a dose of three 200 mg capsules TID. Since transfer factors
has been shown to be an effective immune modulator, with potential utility
in both chronic viral infections as well as certain autoimmune disorders
that are predominantly Th2 phenotypes, we felt that improving the immunological
situation with the use of Transfer Factor could subsequently improve the
clinical situation as well. Our preliminary small study has shown improvement
in a number of these children as evidenced by the GARS evaluations. In
addition to any behavioral improvements, the most noted improvement has
been the marked decrease in incidence of infectious illnesses in these
children."
Auto-Immunity,
Vaccines and Autism V.K. Singh has studied autism
as an autoimmune disorder for over fifteen years. He believes that up to
eighty percent (and possibly all) cases of autism are caused by an abnormal
immune reaction, commonly known as autoimmunity. The autoimmune process
in autism results from a complex interaction between the immune system
and the nervous system. He hypothesizes that an auto-immune reaction to
basic brain structures, especially the myelin sheath, plays a critical
role in causing the neurological impairments of patients with autism. He
has suggested that an immune insult to developing myelin (after a natural
infection or vaccination) causes "nicks" or small changes in the myelin
sheath. These changes ultimately lead to life-long disturbances of higher
mental functions such as learning, memory, communication, social interaction,
etc. more on vaccines danger

"This is about
my son, Zane. He is 2 years old and suffers from allergies, asthma, speech
delay and expressive language development. In so many words, he does have
a lot of characteristics of a child with
high-functioning
autism. We started giving him glyconutrients
and he is responding much better to us. His eye contact is better and he
is really trying to talk a lot more. This week, when his speech teacher
came, she noticed a change in him and he did not have one single tantrum
during his session with her. Nor did he ask her to leave. In the past,
as soon as she came to our house Zane would tell her “bye-bye” hoping she
would leave. And he always had a few tantrums during his session. Today
his occupational therapist came and he did a wonderful job, again having
no tantrums, responding to her requests with good eye contact, speaking
to her and sharing and giving her his toys. It might not sound like a lot
to you in reading this, but, I, as his mother, do see a wonderful difference
in my son." Darlene S., New Jersey
Note: Darlene's
original story was written two years ago. I spoke with Darlene today
(July 2005) and she told me Zane is now 4 years old, still drinking Go~ji
(Lycium) juice, going to school and progressing wonderfully. She said his
initial turn-around began when she first started giving him Go~ji juice,
about two years ago! Her story is very interesting, heart breaking and
heart warming. She told me that Zane was a normal, healthy and happy little
boy until he was about 18 months old. About that time he had some of his
“shots” and suddenly he was a different child altogether. She now believes
he will again be the happy, social little boy he was the first months of
his life!

Quiet
Victories: A Journey Towards Health and Wellness
A Quarterly Newsletter by David
M. Markowitz, M.D.
We have just finished a review of our
first 12 months' Pediatric experience with transfer
factors and the review confirms our initial feelings. 88
children who used TF daily at the recommended doses for six or more months
were compared to same aged and same sexed children who did not use TF,
and their illness and antibiotic use were compared. We found in this
retrospective study a 74% reduction in reported illness and an
84% reduction
in antibiotic use. Using any measure, these are very significant
results.
No untoward reactions were reported.
We have started to review the costs of the illness/antibiotic saved by
the use of TF. Initial results indicate over $25,000 saved
in the user group in medical care, office visits, and drug costs.
Again, these results of major consequence and show that the use of TF not
only improves the quality of life for the child and his/her family, it
makes sense economically. Soon we will be approaching Insurance Carriers
to support the use of transfer factors in our patients. How could
transfer factors change your child's life?
An experience with HIV: Kenny's
Story An early success with Immune Boosting
naturally in a young man with HIV. KG is a 20 year old with Hemophilia
who contracted HIV many years ago from "dirty" clotting factors used to
treat his Hemophilia. KG has been on many regimens for his HIV, including
most recently (within the past year), an experimental regimen with no positive
response. If anything, he suffered from many of the side effects
of retroviral therapy. Five months ago, KG started a high dose regimen
of this immune modulator/booster
product (3 caps 3 times daily) concurrent with his experimental
therapy. He has remained infectious disease free throughout his TF
boosting. He also came to us with very exciting news three weeks
ago: he has a ZERO viral count and an increasing, now close to normal CD4
count of 475. Is Kenny out of the woods completely? No, but he is
now well on his way to possibly being disease free. His next counts are
scheduled for six weeks from now and we will keep all posted. Kenny is
a peer counselor and educator for HIV/AIDS and he is now spreading the
word about transfer factors to members of the AIDS community. He
is also a 4LR distributor and hopes to build a huge sales organization
of persons challenged with HIV and Hepatitis C. As such, he said
that he would not have to deal with the prejudices against those infected
with HIV: seems that 4LR may just give Kenny a NEW LIFE, on many different
levels.
Support in Malignancy in Childhood ID is an eleven year old with a complex
leukemia history. He was diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia
at age 2 with a relapse several years after chemotherapy. Next came
a bone marrow transplant and THREE more relapses after the transplant.
To add insult to injury, the last relapse was diagnosed as Acute Myeloblastic
Leukemia, a VERY difficult cancer to treat. On to a very toxic course
of chemotherapy and a slow definitive road to remission. ID was started
on this immune
modulator/booster product initially at month 5 of chemotherapy to help
support his immune function and hopefully, reduce the chances of infectious
complications. This product was added 2 months later. His oncologist
(my medical partner) has been very pleased and impressed with the results.
First, ID "breezed through his therapy" tolerating very low blood counts,
with no febrile (or infectious) episodes, and always in very good spirits.
When last seen in early 9/99, ID was "thriving" and continues in full remission,
with no infectious disease, enjoying a full life as a vigorous 11 year
school kid. The "way Life should be". How has transfer factors impacted
this young man? It most likely spared him the life-threatening complications
of infectious disease. It apparently improved his tolerance of a
very toxic course of chemotherapy. And it may be helping him in his daily
immune fight against relapse and infectious stresses. Unquestionably,
the fact that ID is alive is a miracle, one dictated by a "Higher Authority":
the quality of his life may just be because of immune boosting with 4LR
products... And his spirit and his will to live.

immune modulator/booster product a chance to aid his own body's abilities
to fight off viral infection, before he started this Interferon.
Although his results are still preliminary and very early, thus far Kim
has had very encouraging results. After 4-5 months of fairly consistent
use of transfer factors, Kim's liver function tests have improved dramatically
and at times are within normal limits. He FEELS so much better and the
complicating factors of gastro-esophageal reflux (acid reflux) and constipation
are now totally resolved. He has voluntarily stopped all of his reflux
and bowel medications. His energy levels have increased and remain
high, as long as he takes his immune boosters regularly. He too looks
forward to sharing this experience with others with Hep C and the physicians
who treat these challenged people. We wish Kim well in his goals
of healing himself and others with 4LR.
Dr. Pat Tremaine and Les
Tremaine, DVM - "After hearing so many parents talk about their children
and their problems after vaccinations,
especially
allergies
and asthma, I finally made the connection between vaccines and my daughter's
medical problems at age one. Marti was never sick her first year.
At one year, we were headed to Alaska where Les was to serve in the Air
Force as the base veterinarian. We went to the health department
to load up on vaccines that we normally wouldn't have had, especially all
at once. Marti had a fever for 6 weeks and was never the same.
I had to rock her to sleep every night because she couldn't sleep.
She had ear infections constantly and had strep throat, tonsillitis, and
scarlet fever at the same time. She was so sick and the doctors put
her on Dimetapp daily. I always wondered why the children who moved to
Alaska were always sick and the ones born there weren't. When
we got back to NC, she had her tonsils taken out, had tubes put in her
ears twice, lost her hearing for 3 years, and had years of sickness and
allergies. She got behind in school because we didn't realize she
couldn't hear well. She went to Duke for testing and had shots.
She was allergic to so many things. I sent her a bottle of transfer
factorsin 1999 when she
had the flu. As soon as she took one capsule, her allergies stopped.
She is still taking transfer factors and it has changed her life.
When it is pollen season, or she is near allergens, she takes 6-12, depending
on what it is, to prevent a reaction. She is now 36 years old and
has a new little baby on transfer factors too."
"My 4½ year old son has been
sick ever since he was born. We went to the doctor at least once a month.
In December of 99, he had croup and pneumonia in the same week. We
started giving him on this
immune modulator/booster product. He was well within a week.
He has only been to the doctor twice since then. It is working great
for him. I'm so glad to have this formula because now it will be
so much easier to give this product to him everyday." Kristy Griewahn
Dr. David Markowitz, M.D.
in his own words:
As a practicing Pediatrician I actively
use transfer factors in my practice and look forward to drastic decreases
in the number of colds and their complications, and middle ear infections
that are so common. I believe transfer factors is, without a doubt, the
greatest discovery of the century. Modulating the immune system will be
the primary way to stay well in the future. This nutrient can affect the
immune system like nothing else can. Everyone needs to consume transfer
factors. I recommended transfer factors to the mother of an autistic
5-year-old. She says that there is a 300% improvement over the last
2-1/2 months.
" I have been in the pediatric practice
for 20 years and I find that children in my care are thriving with transfer
factors. I have seen success with middle ear infections, upper respiratory
infections, and several other repeated infections. I used transfer factors
on a newborn with a thick upper airway, green nasal discharge, vomiting,
and difficulty breathing, and he was clear within 3 days. Of the approximately
70 kids that are under my care and taking transfer factors, only one has
been back that required antibiotics. In approximately 250 patient months
of kids on transfer
factors, only one has returned for antibiotics, and that was after
2-1/2 months. I had been seeing him in my office every 2 weeks prior to
using transfer factors. A child in my care, with a type of muscular dystrophy
had a serious bout with Bronchitis, and 72 hours on transfer factors cleared
her breathing pathway completely. My patients shows an 85-90% reduction
of illness as sick season in Maine has started."
"A 17-month-old toddler come
to the pediatric office with a complaint of three days of fever, poor sleeping
and poor feeding, associated with a week's congestion and cough. He is
diagnosed as having his fifth ear infection in 5 months and is sent home
on this fifth 5-10 day course of antibiotics and anti-cough and cold medication.
This time, he doesn't tolerate his meds well, with multiple diarrhea stools,
a yeast dermatitis, and a hive-like rash, necessitating a change in antibiotics,
bowel rest, and an antihistamine for his hives. Three days later, and five
days out of Daycare, with parents missing four days of work, our little
patient is finally better. Consumption of transfer factors is started by
his parents (out of pure frustration and worry) at low daily dosing (1
cap/day). Two weeks later, he arrives at our office with a cold, but nothing
more. Three months later, we see him for a well child visit, with amazed
and delighted parents. A year later, another well child visit and no reported
illnesses. This is an everyday occurrence in our Pediatric office… This
is the real power of the immune boosting with transfer factors, and we
have now seen this for two full consecutive "sick seasons" in this General
Pediatric office."
''As a practicing pediatrician,
I actively use transfer
factors; in my practice and look
forward to drastic decreases in the number of colds and their complications
and middle ear infections that are so common. Of the approximately 70 kids
under my care and taking transfer factors;, only one has been back that
required antibiotics. A newborn with a serious cold took transfer factors;
through pumped breast milk and recovered in 3 days."
"...I find that children

Molluscum
- "My little boy caught this nasty virus when he was just 8 months old.
It started with just one lesion on is upper left eye. By the time
he was one he had about 12 lesions on his left eyelid, and a month later
he had 10 underneath the same eye, which then spread to his left hand.
I spent months and months trying to find a cure. Doctors don’t do
anything with this virus as the lesions will eventually just fall off,
but this could take anything from 18 months to 2 years. After trying
lots of different treatments, I was introduced to this
immune modulator/booster product.
Within 8 weeks of taking these tablets the lesions, one by one, have dropped
off. I can’t tell you what a difference this has made to my life.
Having these all over my baby’s eye was so upsetting and I would have done
anything to cure it. I’ll happily pass this on to anyone I meet whose
child has got this dreadful virus."
Molluscum is caused by a
poxvirus. It is transmitted by skin-to-skin contact (close contact) with
an infected person. Children 2 to 12 years old are most likely to be infected
by this virus. Molluscum can spread to other parts of the body if a child
picks at a bump and then scratches elsewhere (this process is called auto-inoculation).

at home, to improve your children's health. Topics include vaccinations,
circumcision, strengthening immunity, safe and effective alternative to
antibiotics and steroids, environmental concerns, breastfeeding,
sleeping issues and more.
Dr. James Howenstine,
MD- "Antibiotics and ear tubes treat symptoms of a problem. They do
not strengthen the organism so that it can fight the infection itself,
nor do they make the organism less resistant to future infection. A study,
published in the Pediatric Infectious Disease Journal on 2/12/01, is the
first placebo-controlled study to suggest that homeopathy is effective
in the treatment of acute otitis media in young children. "Multitudes of
infants have frequent recurring ear infections. These “infections” usually
subside when milk intake ceases as they are often caused by allergy to
milk. Many children have tubes placed in their ear canals because of these
“ear infections”. This procedure has recently
been discovered to lead to decreased hearing as adults. This whole infantile
ear infection problem is usually milk allergy not bacterial infection."
What
Every Parent Should Know BEFORE Their Childen Are Vaccinated! Why
are a growing number of parents and health care professionals around the
world questioning vaccination? The controversy stems from the thousands
of deaths and permanent disabilities attributed to vaccination annually,
as well as the many published medical studies, government statistics, congressional
testimonies, and other credible sources that directly contradict commonly
held assumptions about vaccine safety and effectiveness.
More pictures
of vaccine damage available to view at the
CDC
website
"Bart Classen,
a Maryland physician, published data showing that diabetes rates rose significantly
in New Zealand following a massive hepatitis B vaccine campaign in young
children, and that diabetes rates also went up sharply in Finland after
three new childhood vaccines were introduced." Nicholas
Regush ABCNEWS.com
In fall 1997, two influential
professional magazines featured articles asking the question: Has the decrease
of infectious diseases in childhood through the mass use of vaccines been
replaced with an increase in chronic diseases such as diabetes and asthma?
The Economist, a prestigious international magazine read by world leaders
in government, business and public policy, and Science News, a magazine
read by both health care professionals and the general public, explored
the reported links between vaccines and chronic diseases in their November
22, 1997 issues.

Congressman
is calling for criminal penalties for any government agency that knew about
the dangers of thimerosal in vaccines and did nothing to protect American
children.
Congressman Dan Burton(R-Indiana) during Congressional
Hearing: "You mean to tell me that since 1929, we've been using Thimerosal,
and the only test that you know of is from 1929, and every one of
those people had mennigitis, and they all died?" For nearly an hour, Burton
repeatedly asked FDA and CDC officials what they knew and when they knew
it. (Thimerosal contains a related mercury compound called ethyl mercury.
Mercury is a toxic metal that can cause immune, sensory, neurological,
motor, and behavioral dysfunctions.)

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." more

"This is about my son, Zane. He is 2 years
old and suffers from allergies, asthma, speech delay and expressive language
development. In so many words, he does have a lot of characteristics of
a child with high-functioning autism. We started
giving him glyconutrients
and he is responding much better to us. His eye contact is better and he
is really trying to talk a lot more. This week, when his speech teacher
came, she noticed a change in him and he did not have one single tantrum
during his session with her. Nor did he ask her to leave. In the past,
as soon as she came to our house Zane would tell her “bye-bye” hoping she
would leave. And he always had a few tantrums during his session. Today
his occupational therapist came and he did a wonderful job, again having
no tantrums, responding to her requests with good eye contact, speaking
to her and sharing and giving her his toys. It might not sound like a lot
to you in reading this, but, I, as his mother, do see a wonderful difference
in my son." Darlene S., New Jersey
Note:
Darlene's original story was written two years ago. I spoke with
Darlene today (July 2005) and she told me Zane is now 4 years old, still
taking glyconutrients, going to school and progressing wonderfully. She
said his initial turn-around began when she first started giving him glyconutrients,
about two years ago! Her story is very interesting, heart breaking and
heart warming. She told me that Zane was a normal, healthy and happy little
boy until he was about 18 months old. About that time he had some of his
“shots” and suddenly he was a different child altogether. She now believes
he will again be the happy, social little boy he was the first months of
his life!
Alicia's autism dietary protocol for her son Nason
Diet:
Gluten Free/Casein Free/Corn Free/Sugar Free. We also have eliminated
processed and canned (aluminum) foods. Try to do as much organic,
if possible. Since many children have candida issues, this
diet helps suppress yeast overgrowth but does not kill it.
The supplements listed below are what actually kill off the yeast which
is why many autistic children do not see improvement with
diet alone. (We plan on reintroducing more foods once the candida/digestive
issues clear.)
-
Transfer
Factor (the classic one) 2 capsules a day, eventually increased
to 4 capsules a day.
- Ambrotose Complex (Mannatech) - 4 Teaspoons (One of the reasons
we started out with a large dosage is because many autistic children do
not fully absorb their supplements because their bodies are so toxic.
Also glyconutrients are food based and
non-toxic)
- SuperNu Thera (Kirkman Labs) - 2 capsules Vitamin Supplements
- Try to use vitamin supplements that do not have copper or iron in them
especially if your child has large amounts of copper and/or iron.
Did you conduct a hair analysis for heavy metals? If he does not
have excessive amounts of copper or iron, Mannatech's glycobears are great!
Also, if you decide to go with SuperNu Thera, email me, I have more information
on this one.
http://www.kirkmanlabs.com/
- Zinc- So many reasons why this product is important.
Try to use at least 30-50 mg of Zinc in addition to what is in your vitamin
supplement. Buy it at reputable health food store, if possible.
-Amino Acids Plus (Mannatech) - 2 capsules (morning and afternoon
only) Our son (and many autistic children) are glutamine deficient.
This helps with dividing the cells in the gut and immune system along with
other issues. Highly recommended. Do not take close to bedtime.
- Cod Liver Oil (Nordic Naturals or Carslon) - 2 TBS. Make
sure to use a brand like Nordic Naturals that has molecularly distilled
the mercury from its product. Kirkman lab also sells Nordic Naturals
in a couple of flavors. You may also find this brand at your local
health food store.
http://www.kirkmanlabs.com/
-Antioxidant AO (Mannatech) - 2 capsules - (Choice 50) also has
a great antioxidant.
-Probiotics (MegaFlora) - 2 capsules - Take 2 capsules every
morning on an empty stomach. This probiotic has 14 strains with 20 billion
per capsule. Great product. You may also find this product at your
local health food store. If not, below is the link:
http://www.vitaminsandsoon.com/shopnew/dailyfoodsdigestive.html
-Flaxseed
oil- 2 TBS - Health Food store (optional).
-MPB (Biogreen) 1 TBS 2 x Day - This is a B12 supplement.
Highly recommended. It will help with clarity, attention, eye contact
and most of all sleep!!! (Optional)
http://www.biogreensystems.com/product_targetednut.shtml#mentalert
-PhytoAloe (Mannatech) 2 TEAS daily - Just added this product.
Great especially if you are unable to get your child to eat fruits and
vegetables.
-Digestive Enzymes (Peptizyde)- 1 Capsule - Taken before
each meal.
http://www.nbnus.com/store/product_info.php?cPath=27&products_id=139&language=en&osCsid=e76610832eb3f3e574caa3ce468f0821
- Organic Triple Fiber (NewLifeVitamins) 2 TBS daily - Use this
product ONLY after being on the other supplements for at least 3 months.
It will help with the cleansing process. This fiber is great since
it is gluten/casein free and organic.
http://www.newlifevitamins.com/triplefiber.shtml
SCHEDULE:
Morning:
- 2 capsules - Acidophilus (MegaFlora) (before Breakfast)
- 2 capsules transfer factors (after breakfast)
- Vitamin Supplement (Super Nu Thera - Hypoallergenic) Add extra Zinc
- 1 capsule -Amino Acids Plus
- 1 capsule of Peptizyde before meal
Afternoon:
1 capsule Antioxidant
1 capsule Amino Acids
4 TSP of Glyconutrients
1 capsule of Peptizyde before meal
1 TBS of MPB
2 TBS Fiber
Evening:
1 capsule Antioxidant
2 TSP of PhytoAloe
1 TBS of Cod Liver Oil (Nordic Naturals)
1 TBS of Flax Seed Oil
1 TBS of MPB
1 capsule of Peptizyde before meal
Most of these supplements are mixed in with his food or rice milk crushed.
Although, we were on a lot of what I call "maintenance products", the
Glyconutrients and transfer
factors are what activated his healing
crisis. We did get worst before we got better. Nason's
stimming increased, he had diarrhea for about a week and a half, sleep
was disrupted - it was not pleasant. But I knew that the toxins were
finding their way out of his body. So we braced ourselves and saw it through.
It last about 2 1/2 weeks and when we were done with the initial die-off,
it was like a new child emerged. Our son is doing amazing and
we have yet to hit a plateau with his progress since we've added the Mannatech
and transfer factors products. Also, our doctor advised us that once Nason
had detoxed and eliminated the candida and other toxins, we could lower
the dosage in some of these products or eliminate them altogether.
However, this can take some time. You might want to start these products
one at a time so you can see how your sons react to each. We are
currently working with a DAN naturalpath who is monitoring all of Nason's
supplements and progress. She too is amazed with his progress in
a short period of time. I know this can be costly but it is worth
it.
