Welcome to The 21th century IMMUNITY Revolution
Have you ever wondered how many components of your body and immune system know what to do and when to do it?
When a bacterium, virus or fungus enters your body, dozens of immune
system cells, molecules and body chemicals move into action and work to
together to defeat the invader or kill a mutated cell that has become
cancer. Once the battle with the pathogens is being won, this army of
immune system components knows to quiet down and decrease activity. If
they didn’t you could develop an autoimmune condition such as lupus,
MS, diabetes type 1, Crohn’s disease, rheumatoid arthritis or one of
more than one hundred other autoimmune conditions.
Your immune system has smart cells or smart molecules that regulate all
of this activity. One class of these smart peptides is called transfer
factor. You have millions of transfer factors in your body right now.
Without these regulators, your immune system would be chaotic and less
effective. Transfer factors move throughout the body in a soup or team
of communication molecules. Transfer factors belong to a class of
immune system molecules called cytokines. Cytokines are communication
molecules. A great deal of communication takes place within your immune
system at all times.
Memory Molecules
Transfer factors also store information about the activities of your
immune system. For example, if you had chicken pox as a child you are
unlikely to develop this condition again. Why? Chicken pox germs enter
your body off and on throughout your life. The reason you do not
develop chicken pox again is that your immune system remembers the
characteristics of the germ and how it was defeated. This information
is stored in a number of immune system components such as antibodies
and transfer factors. Transfer factors are more sophisticated and have
a broader range of influence than do antibodies. When your body is
attacked or cells mutate, transfer factors regulate a host of immune
system components to move into the battle. Once the battle is over,
there is a feedback function within the transfer factor soup that
alerts the transfer factors that they need to down-regulate the
activity.
Recognition and Modulation
Another benefit of the recognition properties of transfer factors is in
the case of allergies. An agent that causes allergies should pass
through your body without triggering an immune system response. When
the recognition function of the immune system does note recognize the
dust or pollen as an innocent factor, it attacks it and secretes
histamine and other inflammatory agents. Transfer factors assist the
immune system in recognizing threats and then can up-regulate its
activities or down-regulate its activities. They modulate the immune
system. Transfer factors influence the activities of a great number of
immune system components such as natural killer cells, T-killer cells,
macrophages, monocytes, interferon, a number of interluekins, etc. Some
of these cytokines involved in inflammation are regulated by transfer
factors. When your transfer factors do not recognize a problem, you get
ill with such things as a cold, flu, infection, hepatitis, herpes,
allergies, MS, rheumatoid arthritis, cancer, heart disease, Alzheimer’s
and many other illnesses.
Due to stress, pollution, pesticides, poor diet, genetic factors,
mutating germs, etc., your natural body transfer factors do not do the
job that they were created to do. What is the difference between a
person who develops cancer and one who doesn’t? What is the difference
when one person in a family develops the flu but another doesn’t? Why
do some people develop heart disease but others living almost exactly
the same don’t? The difference is in the immune system.
"A Technological Breakthrough to a Complete New Dimension in Nutritional Science"
What are transfer factors?
Transfer factors aren’t vitamins, minerals, or herbs—substances that
add nutrients to the body. Transfer factors are molecules that actually
transfer immune memory and knowledge from one immune system to another.
When were transfer factors discovered?
In 1949, Dr. H. Sherwood Lawrence, a New York University immunologist,
determined that an immune response could be transferred from a donor to
a recipient through a white blood cell extract. He concluded that the
extract contained a factor capable of transferring the donor’s immunity
information to the recipient and named the substance transfer factor.
In 1998, 4Life Founders David and Bianca Lisonbee licensed the patent
to extract transfer factors from cow colostrum. The introduction of
4Life Transfer Factor® Classic opened the door to a new category of
immune system support products. 4Life’s commitment to transfer factor
research has progressively raised the standard for modern-day immune
system supplementation.
How is 4Life Transfer Factor different from other products?
The biggest key to overall immune system health is balance—boosting
when needed and calming down when needed. Almost all immune system
products on the market today (vitamins, minerals, and herbs) have one
thing in common: they provide temporary nutrition. However, the best
long-term solution to an active, balanced immune response is
information.
The way that 4Life Transfer
Factor works with your body's immune system is completely unique. It
teaches your immune system to recognize, respond to, and remember
potential invaders. Looking beyond nutrition to information is a
profound paradigm shift, and 4Life Transfer Factor is the only product
available that leverages this powerful paradigm.
4Life
Transfer Factor products were tested against other products advertised
to increase immune function. 4Life’s products showed an increase in
Natural Killer cell activity by up to 437 percent*, a far superior result to other products tested.
What research has been done on transfer factors?
In the 50 years since Dr. Lawrence’s pioneering work on transfer
factors, an estimated $40 million has been spent researching transfer
factors and hundreds of scientific papers have been published
documenting their effectiveness.
