Is Transfer Factor Backed by Scientific Data?

To date, over 3,000 clinical studies and papers have been published on transfer factors.

Scores of international, well-respected scientists and physicians have established the effectiveness and safety of transfer factors. Over the last fifty years, an estimated $40 million has been spent on research, and study data strongly suggests that transfer factors offer extraordinary immune benefits. Well documented and scientifically validated, transfer factors have emerged as profoundly important tools to health maintenance worldwide.

Recently, a symposium on transfer factors was held in Italy where transfer factor researcher Dr D. Viza spoke about the potential of transfer factor in an era when "the toll of several diseases, such as cancer, continues to rise and the pathogenesis of AIDS remains elusive."

Anytime we can boost the action of natural killer (NK) cells (our immune cells that seek out and destroy foreign invaders); we greatly enhance our ability to fight disease.

In February of 1999, the Journal of the American Nutraceutical Association published a selection of 196 natural products or combinations, selected from over 400 products tested. Forty-four products were found to significantly enhance natural killer cell activity. The most powerful of these was able to increase natural killer cell action by 48.6%.

Transfer factor from colostrum was tested individually and raised natural killer cell activity by an extraordinary 103% above baseline values.

If that wasn’t impressive enough, when transfer factor was combined with a variety of other natural compounds that also support immunity, it increased natural killer cell activity by 248% above baseline values!

What do these test studies suggest? Simply stated, these unprecedented numbers elevate transfer factor to the top of the nutraceutical list of immune boosters.
 

The Implications

Anyone who is prone to illness, i.e., colds, sore throats, ear infections, sinusitis, influenza, boils, chronic fatigue, parasites, fungal infections, tumors, compromised immunity, gum infections, etc., needs to take a serious look at the benefits of transfer factors. Transfer factors out-performed leading natural immune boosters with wide margins, suggesting that transfer factor isolates offer something more than other immune boosting compounds currently available.
