Transfer Factor for Childhood Ailments

Autism

Autism may be caused by exposure to a virus, especially rubella, which causes a form of measles. Many researchers believe that the battle between a very young and immature immune system and the virus causes the development of autism. In addition, some studies suggest that true autism may be an abnormal reaction to a live virus vaccine in certain susceptible children that have immature immune systems. Researchers have found that autistic children often suffer from weak immune systems. Of twenty-two autistic children treated with transfer factor supplements, twenty-one responded favorably. Ten of the children improved both emotionally and mentally, enough that they were able to enter mainstream schools.

Cancer

Dr Markowitz has also seen the value of transfer factor therapy for an eleven-year-old boy with lymphoblastic leukemia. After chemotherapy and a bone marrow transplant, he still experienced a relapse, and his leukemia actually became more severe. Enhanced transfer factor supplements were used in combination with chemotherapy treatments, and the results have been very encouraging. Supplementing chemotherapy with transfer factor appeared to support the boy’s immune system and prevent the infections that usually take hold during treatment. His doctors believe that his supplementation with transfer factors most likely spared him the life-threatening complications of infectious disease and apparently improved his tolerance of a very toxic course of chemotherapy.
