What is Transfer Factor:
Transfer factor is the name of the molecules in the immune system that transfer and establish the immune system in a newborn.
Transfer factor (TF) is a low molecular weight non-antigenic extract of leukocytes that is capable of transferring cell-mediated immunity from an immune individual to a non-immune individual.
Conrad D. Stephenson Laboratory for Research in Immunology, National Jewish Center for Immunology and Respiratory Medicine, Denver, Colorado 80206.
These molecules were first discovered in the late 40's by Dr. H. Sherwood Lawrence. Transfer factors have been studied on humans and animals for decades by scientists from all over the world, and thousands of studies exist.
Transfer factor is an all natural substance that works by "teaching" your own immune system to identify infectious agents that attack your body every day.Transfer Factor Plus Tri-Factor Provides Unprecedented Immune Boosting Ability - Pollution, drug overload and nutrient-poor diets compromise our immune health.
Drugs aren't the answer for immune enhancement. The immune system is not responsive to drugs for healing. Antibiotics used to fight infections actually depress the immune system when used long-term. But natural nutritive forces, like healing foods and herbal medicines can and do support the immune system.

Rob Robertson, MD - "I believe transfer factors are, without a doubt, the greatest discovery of the century in supporting and modulating the immune system. I believe a strengthened immune system will be the primary way to stay well in the future. This nutrient can affect the immune system like nothing else can. I sincerely believe everyone needs to consume this product."
(Dr. Robertson is a former Emergency Room Physician. He received his medical degree from the University of Louisville School of Medicine in 1974. He served as the Director of Emergency Services at Western Baptist Hospital in Paducah, KY).

Duane Townsend, MD - "I’m a cancer physician. I primarily treat female cancer, and certainly encourage my patients who are undergoing chemotherapy and radiation therapy to take transfer factors. It helps to modulate the immune system.
I have patients with chronic herpes infections who are taking transfer factors on a regular basis, and it’s reducing the number of outbreaks.
I’ve also had patients with chronic yeast infections, and the transfer factors have reduced their infections as well. Transfer factors are science-based with excellent data from a variety of researchers."
(Dr. Townsend has had more than 32 years of distinguished experience in the medical field. He pioneered a surgical technique for the treatment of pre-malignant disease of the uterine cervix. In addition, he has authored more than 90 scientific papers in peer review journals as well as over 15 chapters in research books).

Richard Bennett, PhD - "The immunity provided by transfer factors is long lived and can help all ages who are suffering from a variety of ailments or those who want to stay well.
The unfolding events surrounding Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome, (SARS) is yet another painful reminder that we live in a crowded world where continents are only a plane ride away. The SARS epidemic is only one of an ongoing series of new emerging diseases. Our best global and personal strategy is to do all in our power to ensure and support our unique abilities of disease resistance and immunity”
Dr. Bennett is an Infectious Disease Microbiologist & Immunologist, who is enjoying retirement from a 21-year career with the University of California where he specialized in food and water quality and safety. He received his Doctorate in Comparative Pathology from the University of California, Davis. He has an extensive background in milk quality and disease control, water resource policy, food safety, public policy of natural resources, etc. He has also served as an advisor for the FDA and USDA.

Transfer factors are molecules that "educate" recipients to express cell-mediated immunity. This effect is antigen-specific. The most consistent effects of transfer factors on the immune system are expression of delayed-type hypersensitivity and production of lymphokines such as macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF), which is probably identical to gamma-interferon in response to exposure to antigen.
Transfer factors bind to antigens in an immunologically specific manner. This discovery has enabled us to isolate individual transfer factors from mixtures that contain several transfer factors. This reactivity probably explains the specificity of individual transfer factors, and it has provided a method for purification of individual transfer factors to apparent homogeneity.
The purified materials are immunologically active and antigenspecific. They have molecular weights of approximately 5,000 Da and appear to be composed entirely of amino acids.
Transfer factors appear to offer a novel means of molecular immunotherapy for certain patients with defective cell-mediated immunity.

Transfer Factor ... MEDLINE Journal ... 1,100+ Scientific Papers:
Clinical use of Transfer Factor (dialysable leukocyte extract (DLE):
MEDLINE lists over 1,100 scientific papers describing various uses of dialysable leukocyte extracts (Transfer Factor) for immunotherapy based on proven facts such as:
- transfer of an antigen-specific immunity within 4 - 6 hours,
- long term duration of so transferred immunity,
- absence of an inter-species barrier,
- acceptance of transferred immune responses as 'self',
- transfer of immunity by an oral route.
Since 1992 the transfer factor has been used succesfully in clinical practice in the treatment of many diseases, usually in their advanced stages, when other therapies known to modern medicine failed, such as:
- combined severe immunodefficiency, Wiscott-Aldrich syndrome, chronic mucocutaneous candidiasis, chronic fatigue syndrome, fibromyalgia, isolated T-cell defficiency,

Steven Slagle, DVM - A cat with Leukemia, an oral tumor, and posterior paralysis due to a spinal tumor was very ill and emaciated. One month after starting her on Transfer Factor Plus at 1 capsule per day, there was some regression of the oral tumor, restored appetite with some weight gain, and increased sociability. Five months later, this cat continues to improve - she regained her normal weight, her oral tumor has regressed 80%, and she has regained the use of her hind legs and tail. additional testimonials
Contagious Dog Flu Virus - Dr. Cynda Crawford, an immunologist at the University of Florida's College of Veterinary Medicine who is studying the virus, said that it spread most easily where dogs were housed together but that it could also be passed on the street, in dog runs or even by a human transferring it from one dog to another. Kennel workers have carried the virus home with them. Read what Dr. Falconer DVM recommends to protect your pet from the Canine Flu disease

Dr. Will Falconer, DVM - "Most of the chronic diseases we commonly see in animals (and humans) have an immune basis, e.g. diabetes, allergies, asthma, thyroid disease, inflammatory bowel diseases, repeated ear infections, cancer, etc. While they can be cured through the careful use of homeopathy, the road to cure can be a long one -- often years if the animal has had years of disease. Transfer factors can significantly shorten the course, by giving a much needed balancing effect to the immune system. If the immune system is overactive as in allergies, ear infections, asthma, diabetes, or hypothyroidism, Transfer Factor can balance this overactivity so the system is not attacking its own organs, overreacting to things that shouldn’t be perceived as a threat. If, conversely, the immune system is under-active as in mange, parasites, viral infections, or cancer, Transfer Factor Plus can clearly stimulate it to better meet the challenges it needs to be alert to."

Read Dr. Falconer's comment on using Transfer Factor Plus for tumors in a dog's ear / Q&A
IMPORTANT NOTE: Many veterinarians recommend the human Transfer Factor formulas, instead of the Canine and Feline Complete formula for their sick animals. In the below testimonials, the veterinarians, medical doctor and pet owner used the human formulas, Transfer Factor Classic, Transfer Factor Adv. Formula and Transfer Factor Plus, to treat their animals. Dr. Slagle (above) used the human formula to treat the leukemia, paralyzed cat. Some animals do not tolerate some of the ingredients in the canine or feline complete formulas. The human formula comes in a small capsule and it is easier to give a sick animal who doesn't want to eat. It is easy to shove the capsule into the throat, or empty the content into the pet's food. Some people mix the powder with a little water and squirt it into the animal's throat with an ear syringe."
