Transfer Factor for Children

FACT: Children have immature immune systems and are prone to infections that easily spread in day-care and school settings.

FACT: Children often eat diets high in sugar and low in nutrients necessary to support immunity.

FACT: Children spread infections rapidly in school and day-care centres.

FACT: Ear infections are increasing with heavy reliance on antibiotic drugs that are rapidly failing to control the recurring infections.

FACT: Antibiotic overuse in children causes compromised immunity and the development of antibiotic-resistant bacteria.

Transfer factors are benign, completely safe, tasteless and easy to take. Children seem to especially benefit from transfer factor supplementation. These factors are usually placed in a benign, complete safe and tasteless carrier substance that can easily be added to formula or food.

Dr David Markowitz, a pediatrician who practices in Maine has just finished a review of his first twelve months’ experience with transfer factor supplementation. The study found that eighty-eight children who used transfer factor isolates daily at the recommended doses for six or more months showed a 74% reduction in reported illness and an 84% reduction in antibiotic use. Using any measure, these are very significant results. Of equal importance is the fact that no side effects were reported. In addition, Dr Markowitz emphasized that initial results indicate that over $25,000 was saved by the group using transfer factor supplements in medical care, office visits, and drug costs.
