ABOUT TRANSFER FACTOR

Transfer Factors (TF) are one of nature’s most elegant form of immune communication. It awakens our sleeping immune surveillance cells to do its job properly.

This is the new science called, Transferceutical Science, the new science of longevity, or restoration biology.

This molecule can make you 30 years younger if you take it for one year. TF is responsible for keeping our arteries young and healthy by a process called internal homeostasis, the general cleaning of all our veins from molecular debris brought about by toxins, or foreign bodies that enter our blood system. So, with TF, our whole body enjoys massive cleansing internally speaking, thus resulting into youthfulness and our cells are replaced with new cells.

As a result, the skin becomes younger and smoother via enhanced skin integrity technology. This results further into internal beauty and recovery of the cells within producing external beauty. This has a domino effect to all the other organs of the body, thus, making the immune system fully optimized, preventing diseases, and restoring the body cells to its original form.

"Transfer Factor is a miraculous discovery that was first made in 1949 - a tiny molecule in white blood cells, a communication molecule that helps alert immune system cells to what they ought to be doing",
says David Lisonbee, CEO & Founder of 4Life Research LLC, Sandy Utah USA.

In medical parlance, according to Kirkpatrick, et. al,
"Transfer Factors are peptides consisting of 44 amino acids. Transfer Factor molecules are smaller than antibodies and just one third the size of a virus and have molecular weights of less than 10,000 daltons (between 3,500 to 5,000 daltons). Transfer Factor (TF) (produced by 4Life Research, USA) is a hypoallergenic product, free of casein, lactoglobulins and other large proteins, but it does contain intact cytokine fractions identical to leukocytic cytokines. Academician A.A. Vorobiev of the Russian Academy of Medical Sciences points out that unlike other immunomodulators Transfer Factor has a wide spectrum of activity, is safe, is administered orally, has no contraindications or The AMAZING 4LIFE TRANSFER FACTOR!
side effects, and is effective both in adults and children."

According to the book of doctors, PDR Physician's Desk Reference edition 2012, Transfer Factor (TF) is an immunologic information molecule (meaning made by the immune system) which contain antigen information which educates, boosts, and helps maintain immune system balance. TF is the best Adjuvant or Adjunct to medicine, meaning it works well with medicine to make your recovery 437% faster because it can EDUCATE, BOOST AND BALANCE your immune system army to tow away and destroy toxins and other antigenic stimulus e.g. bacteria, virus, parasites, fungal and tumor cells from your body. So, your body becomes free from any molecular debris from head to foot. When you are finally clean, disease will cease to be. So, if you take this daily, then you become clean everyday as toxins are wiped away daily.

Remember toxins come in to our body 24/7 due to the influx of pesticides, formalin, NO3 and other chemicals in our fruits, vegetables, meat and almost all our food are now contaminated, even milk from our mothers. Our immune system cells are generally dumb (mangmang) thats why 36 vaccines as a baby provided us with 36 information to recognize a very limited number of pathogens, but with Transfer Factor, you are enjoying UNLIMITED IMMUNOLOGIC INFORMATION as it is extracted from cows colostrum and chicken egg yolks. Of thousands of animals the cows and chickens won because of their super heroic immune system because they can build immunologic information on real time basis. Mother's colostrum in the first three days also contain TF but with limited information, but still it bridges the generational gap by passing cell mediated immunity from mother to infant with 500,000 immunity codes.

Ever wonder why cows and chickens don't die of dengue? Have you read in the papers cows dying of dengue? (Nabalitaan nyo ba BAKA dedbol sa dengue?) None. Why? They have something we don't have, and thats Transfer Factor with Unlimited Immunity Codes. So, we might as well get it from them for MOTHER NATURE HAS GIFTED THEM with TRANSFER FACTORS WITH UNLIMITED INFORMATION so they will not become extinct in the wild. Otherwise wala na tayong breakfast .

This is free from Ig (Immunoglobulines or antibodies) and hormones of the cow and chickens because it passed through our Patented Dry Bio-Tech Ultra-Filtration Extraction Process Machine.

Transfer Factor is common in all of the animal kingdom (that includes humans) as clinically proven by science. Meaning, it is not foreign to humans even if it comes from animals. Doctors who are now using TF enjoy overwhelming success in their practice because TF is a Toxin Remover, a Pathogen Detector or a Virus Protection Software, wherein antigen stimulus not yet known to doctors or not yet written in the books of medicine are already recognized by the cows and chickens.

If you ask me why some cows die of mad cow disease and why do birds die of bird flu, well, these animals have compromised immune systems due to exposure to hormones, pesticides, antibiotics and other drugs. So not all cows and chickens are the same. Our cows and chickens in Sandy, Utah USA are free from all of these thats why our 4Life Research Manufacturing Plants are APPROVED BY THE FDA. Our bottles are on the other hand APPROVED by the GRAS (Generally Recognized As Safe) USA. In the Philippines, we are APROVED BY BFAD.

Transfer Factor Research

Transfer Factor has more than 3000 studies done showing its effectiveness.  Every year and sometimes every month, something new is discovered about the effectiveness and roles of transfer factors. Learn more about the research behind Transfer Factor.

Transfer Factor Can Benefit Your Health In Almost Any Health Condition

Transfer Factor is an amazing product that can benefit every person, especially anyone who has any type of health condition!

Its main action works as 
*IMMUNE SYSTEM EDUCATION 
*IMMUNE MODULATION (BALANCING) as well as 
*IMMUNE BOOSTING, 
offering the body one of the best natural alternatives for preventative health.  

Immune modulation is important in common ailments today such as allergic and auto immune system problems including rhematoid arthritis, allergies, eczema, psoriasis, asthma, fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue, type 1 diabetes etc. People with these types of disorders have immune systems that are Th2 activated. This means they over-respond to toxins, allergens, normal bacteria, etc. and under-respond to viruses, yeast, cancer, intracellular bacteria and other things the immune system should respond more vigorously too.  

Transfer Factor Modulates the immune system and brings the Th2 immune response back into balance with the Th1 response (which is the primary attack response) and helps eliminate the immune disorder!

And Transfer Factor helps your body recognize and eliminate bacteria, viruses and other pathogens faster and more efficiently reducing the amount of times you get sick and the severity of it.  

And it can even transfer specific immunity!  Meaning it can give you specific antibodies to give you immunity to specific diseases!

As you may know, ensuring our immune system at its optimal effectiveness is the single most important action we can take to protect our health and regain control of our health care because no other body system can function properly without a functioning immune system.

Our immune system is our FIRST LINE OF DEFENSE against illness and disease.

Transfer factor molecules form the core of your immune system's intelligence. Unlike vitamins, minerals, or herbs that simply add nutrients, these molecules actually transfer immune memory, knowledge, and wisdom. The result is a strong and healthy immune system that knows exactly what to do, when to do it, and how to get it done quickly.

Transfer Factor is not a vitamin, mineral, herb, drug, hormone or colostrums. It's a unique class on its own. Transfer Factor has gone through over 50 years of research resulting in more than 3,000 scientific research studies from independent parties certifying that Transfer Factor is SAFE AND EFFECTIVE. Transfer Factor has ZERO TOXICITY level

 Transfer Factor Testimonials

Transfer Factor has many amazing testimonials.  Like myself, many more have discovered tremendous benefits from transfer factor!

My Testimonial (link to others at the end)

I was just a customer for over 10 years just enjoying the health benefits of Transfer Factor and life circumstances led to my decision to become a representative with the company.

Here is how my life journey led to Discovering Transfer Factor and 4Life.

My journey begins by telling of my childhood and unfortunate experience of many childhood illnesses.  I suffered eczema, allergies and many many ear infections and strep infections.  I was constantly sick with something  

One year, when I was in 4th grade, I had what was pretty much a constant strep infection.  I was on new antibiotics every month and nothing seemed to help since the following few weeks would lead back to the doctor offices and a new round of meds.  I finally ended with a strep infection in my kidneys that almost killed me.   

It was always one thing after the next and I always seemed to catch everything including the odd ones like bells palsy where 1/2 your face gets paralysed.  

As I grew a little older, I got to the point where I was never well.  Around Middle school/Jr. High I was constantly fatigued and struggled to keep up with everyday life.  Every time I went to the doctor to complain about the way I felt, I was told it was probably viral and to rest more.......which for someone who already was sleeping sometimes 20 hours a day, this advice was far from helpful.  

Eventually, I was so tired, my muscles ached, my glands seemed to be constantly swollen, I woke up daily feeling stiff and achy, like I had been hit by a truck at night, I had trouble concentrating (brain fog), I was bothered by certain smells, food and couldnt stand the cold, had horrible cramps with my period, IBS, and jaw/tmj problems.

I was eventually, Finally, diagnosed with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and Fibromyalgia, but at that time, at Mayo Clinic with the best doctors, the best they could do was tell me to excercise more!  Now, I  in Jr. high and high school, despite my condition I did participate in sports so their advice was absolutely pointless to me!

I lived with my condition and it slowly grew worse until my last year in college, I was so sick and so stiff and sore that it was hard to even walk!  I could barely make it up and down stairs and had to take mobility vans to get around campus some days since it was so painful.  I had a hard time keeping up and went to the doctor again thinking there had to be something I could do.  

After another round of myraids of tests, I was just confirmed that all my symptoms were from my Fibromyalgia and CFS and I was written prescriptions for different drugs including muslce relaxers, anti-depressants, riddelin, and something to raise blood pressure, and was given information to apply for Social Security Disability......I was 21 and not ready to give up on life!!  I left the prescriptions on the doctors desk, went home and cried!

It was then that I decided to switch gears in education and study nutrition, immunology and alternative health because I was sure there had to be a better way!  I wanted true health, NOT to be drugged up and on disability my whole life suffering in pain!

I spent the next years studying many natural health things and trying various things on myself.  Slowly over the years I kept finding more pieces to the puzzle until I found myself living pain free and healthy!  Health is a Beautiful thing and I am so glad I persevered!  A healthy lifestyle is worth it since your health determines a large portion of the quality of your life! 

Diet Changes, "Superfoods", Chiropractor, Transfer Factor, Additional Supplements, Addressing gut and digestion issues, Nutrition, etc. were a BIG part of getting me healthy and now Transfer Factor, diet/nutrition, and chiropractor play a Big role in Keeping my Healthiest!  I am happy to talk to anyone in more depth about my story and answer any questions you may have

TRANSFER FACTOR HISTORY

In 1949, Dr. H. Sherwood Lawrence discovered that when you transfer blood to another person, some of the donor’s immunity is transferred to the receiving person. From this discovery, research began its journey through the 1950s, 1960s, and 1970s. Scientists believed they had found that ultimate immune system and health enhancer. They believed that transfer factors would be the ultimate natural medicine. As technology increased, more and more was learned about the benefits of transfer factors. More than 3000 studies were conducted and $40 million (USA) was invested into research. Scientists from more than 60 countries were involved in this research. Two developments stopped this progress. First was the development of antibiotics. Antibiotics were inexpensive to manufacture. They were effective. Antibiotics took the show.

Another development was the contamination of the world’s blood supply. Up until this time, the only known source of transfer factors was derived from blood. Research stopped in its tracks.

In 1986, two hog scientists discovered that mothers passed down their transfer factors to their babies through the placenta and colostrum in order to give the baby’s immune system a chance to survive a hostile environment of pathogens. These scientists found the cows did the same thing. Often calves will not survive if for some reason they do not receive the colostrum from the mother. Research began to move forward again. Antibiotics still reigned as king in the medical world. Many scientists that worked with transfer factors derived from blood didn’t think transfer factors from colostrum would work, so they didn’t enter the research.

Three events in history changed all of this. First, technology advanced. Secondly, germs began to become resistant to antibiotics. Third, 4Life Research created a large consumer base from which they derived a great deal of information about how transfer factors affected the health and immune systems of more than a million customers. Now research is exploding!

Every year and sometimes every month, something new is discovered about the effectiveness and roles of transfer factors. 4Life Research was the first to bring a line of Transfer Factor products to the market that contained transfer factors from cow colostrum. Next, their in-house scientists discovered that eggs contained transfer factors and the combination of the two increases their effectiveness by 185%. Transfer factors from colostrum and eggs were found to be actually superior to transfer factors from humans. Animals live in the wild while humans try to keep sterile. Animal transfer factors have hundreds of years of more exposure creating a more functional transfer factor.

With our current knowledge of the major downside of antibiotics and super bugs, it is ushering in an era that is in need of the natural safe alternative we have that actual help our own immune system become as efficient as possible instead of harming our bodies and creating superbugs!

Researchers Confirm That Cancer is a ‘Man-Made’ Disease.

http://theorganicdream.com/2018/04/disturbing-researchers-finally-confirm-cancer-purely-man-made-disease/

Cancer is such a huge health problem worldwide, it is now estimated that in some parts of the world one in two people will develop cancer at some stage in their life.

There is currently no cure for cancer and as it stands, it is one of the most debilitating and life changing diseases. But the scariest part is that it seems to have come out of nowhere.

Just going back to the 1950’s cancer rates were a fraction of what they are today, people who are old enough to remember will recall cancer being something that was fairly uncommon, highly dangerous and not properly understood.

Now researchers at the University of Manchester have confirmed what doctors have been suspecting – the reason that cancer rates have sky rocketed is that they are a human-borne disease that is being fed year on year.

The team of researchers focused their study on looking at the skeletons of mummified bodies alive thousands of years ago, and they made the groundbreaking discovery that not a single ‘mummy’ dies from cancer, or even had tumors present in their body at time of death.

This result proves that cancer is something that has developed in recent years, tumors being able to develop and grow in our bodies due to the environments we now live in.

Poor diets and lifestyle choices such as having totally sedentary lives, not getting enough exercise and eating way too much processed foods and foods that contain chemicals are all factors that contribute to cancers these days that the Egyptians just weren’t exposed to.

Lead researcher Michael Zimmerman said:

“In an ancient society lacking surgical intervention, evidence of cancer should remain in all cases. The virtual absence of malignancies in mummies must be interpreted as indicating their rarity in antiquity, indicating that cancer-causing factors are limited to societies affected by modern industrialization,”

While Professor Rosalie David noted:

“In industrialized societies, cancer is second only to cardiovascular disease as a cause of death. But in ancient times, it was extremely rare. There is nothing in the natural environment that can cause cancer. So it has to be a man-made disease, down to pollution and changes to our diet and lifestyle.

The important thing about our study is that it gives a historical perspective to this disease. We can make very clear statements on the cancer rates in societies because we have a full overview. We have looked at millennia, not one hundred years, and have masses of data.

Yet again extensive ancient Egyptian data, along with other data from across the millennia, has given modern society a clear message – cancer is man-made and something that we can and should address.”

Transfer factors are the result of decades of immune system scientific research.

This is the first time in the history of this industry that a dietary supplement company has had one of its dietary supplements approved for use in hospitals in Russia. The Russian Ministry of Health is the equivalent of the Food and Drug Administration in the United States.

Remarkable Response from Russian Academy of Medical Sciences

Dr. Kisielevsky of the Russian Academy of Medical Sciences stated, “The 4Life sample [Transfer Factor Advanced Formula] activated NK (natural killer) cell activity more than the Interleukin-2 (IL2) drug we used as the standard.” This discovery has attracted the attention of The International Scientific and Technical Center (ISTC) of Russia.

What Do Pesticides, Herbicides And Antibiotics Have In Common?

http://diyhealthacademy.com/pesticides-herbicides-and-antibiotics/.

There are three natural catastrophes occurring within nature in slow motion at the moment and they are our fault. All three catastrophes stem from the same kind of mistake made by human science and corporate greed. What are they and what are we doing wrong?

The slow-motion catastrophes are:

• antibiotic-resistant pathogenic bacteria – often termed ‘superbugs’
• pesticide-resistant pests – also called ‘superbugs’
• herbicide-resistant weeds – now termed ‘superweeds’

What do these three have in common?

All three are the result of the application of synthetic toxicity within nature in an attempt to work outside nature’s normal processes. The application of toxins meant to inhibit certain organisms produces resistance, because living organisms by nature seek to survive, and will adapt to toxicity in order to continue their survival.

This ability to adapt has been studied for many years by scientists and is well known among biology and evolution science. It is one of the foundations of biology taught at the most fundamental levels of instruction for any beginning scientist.

Yet the scientific community has failed to understand how this most fundamental part of nature will interact with the toxicity that we have introduced over the past century. Did the scientists who developed these synthetic toxins really believe those toxins would provide a permanent solution?

We obviously ignored this most fundamental understanding that living organisms will adapt to toxins. We forgot that organisms will develop defense mechanisms that will override deterrent toxins – producing a stronger organism in the process.

Let’s examine this aspect in all three cases:

Antibiotics Produce Plasmid changesAntibiotics – or antibacterials – exist in nature, but modern synthetic (static) antibiotics began their development in the nineteenth century among early microbiologists who discovered ways to combat disease by inhibiting bacteria with either antiseptic chemicals or infused antibiotics derived from other microorganisms. Their discoveries led to major advancements in knowledge regarding how to kill bacteria. For example, the Italian Vincenzo Tiberio discovered that the Penicillium mold would remove bacteria from well water.These of course were noble causes and their discoveries have resulted in millions of lives saved from various infections. But is there a long-term cost of waging war against bacteria outside of nature’s means – using static toxins?

Later scientists found that bacteria will produce what is called a plasmid – a term suggested by Joshua Lederberg in the early 1950s. A plasmid is a collection of genetic material passed on during procreation and even peer-exchange that teaches a bacteria how to resist that particular antibacterial. Even a single bacterium may develop a plasmid change and then pass that plasmid change on to others – both within and outside their species. This passing on of plasmid changes allows bacteria to teach others how to resist that particular toxic agent.

We might compare this to warfare among humans. Once we began fighting with swords, the opponents developed shields. After humanity created missiles, the opposition developed anti-missile weapons. After we created nuclear bombs we created nuclear defense mechanisms and bomb shelters.

Bacteria are no different. They are also living organisms who want to survive, so they can learn how to evade an antibacterial agent.

The only problem is that as this escalation continues, those who position themselves as enemies will now be dealing with a stronger organism. This is the case of antibiotic-resistant species of bacteria such as MRSA (Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus) and numerous species that cause HAIs – hospital acquired infections.

The same exact premise is taking place among weeds. Since 2000 the increasing application of glyphosate has produced a growing legion of superweed horseweeds and other types of herbicide-resistant weeds.

The Growth of Superweeds from Herbicides and GMOsIn a recent paper by Food & Water Watch, the dramatic rise in the application of herbicides in the U.S. over the last 10 years has led to a growing legion of superweeds. In the 2013 report, called Superweeds: How Biotech Crops Bolster the Pesticide Industry, found that the dramatic rise in the application of herbicides such as glyphosate between 2001 and 2010 has led to an explosion of growth of herbicide-resistant weeds.From 2001 to 2010, toxic herbicide application grew by 81 million pounds – 26 percent. But the application of glyphosate to the three biggest genetically engineered crops skyrocketed from 15 million pounds in 1996 to 150 million pounds in 2012 – this is a ten-fold rise in the application of glyphosate.

Prior to the domination of glyphosate and genetically modified “RoundUp Ready” seeds, atrazine was the leading herbicide used. Both atrazine and glyphosate have been linked to endocrine disruption, and atrazine has been the subject of study by university researchers for its causing mutations among frogs and fish.

As a result of the growth of GMO herbicide-friendly seeds, glyphosate-resistant weeds have been reported in 21 states – up from zero states reporting prior to 2000. The resistant weeds began in the South and spread to other states. By 2012, 92% of Georgia farmers reported glyphosate-resistant weeds, and states throughout the midwest were being swamped by them.

These resistant weeds include ragweed, amaranth, horseweed, bluegrass and waterhemp. Ragweed of course is also a common hayfever allergen – and hayfever is also on the rise in the U.S.

SuperPest Growth from Increasing Pesticide UseA similar problem is appearing as a result of the growing application of pesticides onto genetically modified crops. Research from the University of Minnesota found that the corn rootworm is developing a resistance to GMO corn and the pesticides applied to it such as Bt and 2,4-D. A recent interview with agronomist Todd Claussen from the Brownfield publication indicates that Iowa farmers are dealing with 40 to 50 times the rootworm infection considered normal – and he attributes this to resistance to soil insecticides.

What do these mistakes have in common? All three were produced by scientists forgetting the fundamental biology lesson that every living organism strives to survive and thus will adapt and develop resistance to toxins that attempt to interrupt that survival.

And the consequences of these adaptations mirror the attempts to inhibit them. In the case of the application of static antibiotics, we are running out of them as bacteria become resistant. In the case of the application of toxic chemicals onto pests and weeds, those pests and weeds are becoming resistant to those toxic chemicals.

There are two backlashes to these developments. The first is that we have to increase the application of these toxins in order to get similar results. This means that we become exposed to more toxins – as illustrated in all three instances: The rise in antibiotic use, pesticide use and herbicide use.

The second backlash is that as these living organisms adapt they become stronger. This means it becomes more difficult to inhibit them by any means. (Rendering the adage: “I’ve created a monster!”)

Both of these consequences ruins it for other living organisms – including humans – which become threatened by a combination of those stronger living organisms and the increased exposure to toxins.

Is there a Solution to our Toxic Science?

The solution is to work within nature’s means. This means finding those strategies that naturally inhibit those pathogenic organisms. In the case of weeds and pests, crop rotation and the feeding of organic biomass into the soil. This will enrich the soil and help strengthen the plants’ own immunity against pests – can help resist pests, along with the utilization of natural predators that already exist in nature. Naturally enriching the soil will also give rise to natural stewards of plants such as earthworms – which help combat other pests and help nourish plants with their own waste production as they convert natural fertilizers.

In addition to these, there are numerous natural substances that repel pests, including castor oil, extracts of mint, basil, garlic and other natural means that utilize evolution to repel pests.

In the case of antibiotic-resistant bacteria, the solution lies in employing those natural agents – inclusive of many different antibacterial herbs – that inhibit the growth of bacteria. Another important tool are those probiotic bacteria that are already living within our bodies and can produce their own antibiotics that fight off pathogenic bacteria – as well as fungi and viruses.

The other means to protect ourselves naturally comes in the form of increasing our own natural immunity. The comes by way of a better diet, plenty of exercise and a healthy lifestyle in general.

The bottom line is that scientists and humanity in general must become better skilled in observation. This means observing nature and its consequences.

What modern science – increasingly driven by corporate profit objectives – has overlooked is that by working within nature we employ those very tools that have been developed by the same evolution that has developed the creatures that threaten our survival. Now that we’ve turned away from nature, we are left to our own toxic devices – unleashing unnatural mutations and toxicity that will destroy our own ability to survive.
