The Advancement of Immune System Science

The 4Life Transfer Factor® story is a story of scientific innovation, study, and advancement in the world of immune system products. Transfer factors were originally discovered by New York University researcher Dr. H. Sherwood Lawrence in 1949. Dr. Lawrence, an immunology pioneer, was highly credentialed in his field. Lawrence’s study of how immune system response could be transferred from one entity to another provided the groundwork for one of the most significant health discoveries of our time—transfer factors.

In the early 1990s, 4Life Founder and CEO David Lisonbee started a journey to better support his own health. He had become frustrated with the results of many natural products. During his pursuit, he came across transfer factor research. David discovered firsthand the value of these educational molecules as the foundation for immune system support and overall health.

Because of the success he encountered with his own health from transfer factors, David presented this information to his wife Bianca. They knew this was something that had the power to change the lives of thousands of people. In 1998, David and Bianca launched 4Life Research™ and introduced the first 4Life product: 4Life Transfer Factor® Classic.

The 4Life story began with an unparalleled commitment to innovation and support for unrivaled health. And it will undoubtedly continue with new products, studies, patents, and cutting-edge advancements.

Transferceutical Science is a journey that began with transfer factor memory molecules that form the basis of 4Life Transfer Factor® products. Innovations in transfer factor sources allowed 4Life to introduce Targeted Transfer Factor products to meet specific needs of the body. Never willing to settle, 4Life pursued a further understanding of immune cells with the discovery of immune activity in nanofraction molecules. 
Transferceutical Science encompasses the research, technology, and innovation of products that educate your immune cells, supporting your immune system’s ability to recognize, respond to, and remember potential threats. This valuable education gives your body the extra edge to lead a healthy life.

You want a strong and vibrant immune system. It’s why you exercise, get the right amount of sleep, eat healthy, and balance your stress levels. But even your best efforts sometimes leave you feeling rundown. What else can you do to keep your body feeling balanced and strong?


Transfer Factor Tri-Factor Formula, originally known as the "Transfer Factor Original or Advance" has 300mg of Transfer Factor per capsule (highest mg of Transfer Factor), and is highly recommended as adjuvant or ajunct to medicine for Auto Immune Dysfunction, Bacterial/Virus Infections, Cardiovascular Diseases, Neurological Diseases, Brain Tumor, Cancer and Leukemia e.g Diabetes, Goutic Arthritis, Rheumatoid Arthritis, Osteoporosis, Allergic Rhinitis, Severe Atopic Dermatitis or Skin Asthma, Eczema, Psoriasis, Allergy, Kawasaki Disease, Lupus, Multiple Sclerosis, Severe Asthma, Severe Vasculitis, Sepsis with Meningitis, Septicemia, Acne, Vertigo, Migraine, Ulcer, Leptospirosis, Dengue, Hypertension, Stroke, Patients due for Angioplasty and By-Pass Operations, Multi-Drug Resistant TB, Multi-Drug Resistant Leprosy with Lepra Reaction, Erectile Dysfunction, Blighted Ovum, Low Sperm Count, Alzheimer's Disease, ADHD, Depression, CNS and other mental problems, Poor Memory, Renal Failure, Kidney and Liver Diseases, and all types of Tumor and Cancer,  etc.

Many people love this product because its effect is like having a Stem Cell in a Bottle.  My wife Dr. Catherine Mendoza, Pediatrician, uses it for all her Dengue patients.  Imagine a 3 year old toddler with 10,000 platelet count, bleeding nose and mouth, after taking Transfer Factor Tri-Factor formula 5 capsules 3X a day, in just 2 days went up to 150,000 platelet count normal without blood transfusion! The question is where does the platelet come from?  The platelet volume came from the bone marrow's stem cells which differentiated into platelets. Isn't that a natural stem cell reproduction by our own body? What can be more safer than this?  Transfer Factors where tested in vitro to multiply and increase one's Natural Killer Cell Activity (killing rate) by 283% in just 2 days (please see following pages to learn more)!
  
Dr. Ma. Luisa Venida, Dermatologist and Founder, Skin Research Foundation of the Philippines uses Transfer Factor for cancer and leprosy.  One elder man had cancer on the face which caved-in his left face.  Meaning, he lost his left face.  After taking Transfer Factor 5 capsules 3X a day for 2 months his left face came back to normalcy.  If that is not stem cell reproduction, then what is it? The face came from facial tissues; facial tissues came from facial cells; facial cells came from stem cells in the bone marrow; therefore, these stem cells differentiated into facial cells, into tissues and thus became the face!  Transfer Factor, in short helps boost the immune system to activate the stem cells by 283% .  Another patient 19 yo boy suffering from leprosy was dying and almost lost his liver due to complications.  After taking Transfer Factor, his liver became 100% brand new.  If that isn't stem cell reproduction, then what is it?   So, the stem cells in the bone marrow multiplied and differentiated into liver cells; liver cells became liver tissues and eventually    came a brand new liver organ.

ABOUT TRANSFER FACTOR:

Transfer Factors (TF) are one of nature’s most elegant form of immune communication. It awakens our sleeping immune surveillance cells to do its job properly.  This is the new science called, Transferceutical Science, the new science of longevity, or restoration biology.  This molecule can make you 30 years younger if you take it for one year.  TF is responsible for keeping our arteries young and healthy by a process called internal homeostasis, the general cleaning of all our veins from molecular debris brought about by toxins, or foreign bodies that enter our blood system.  So, with TF, our whole body enjoys massive cleansing internally speaking, thus resulting into youthfulness and our cells are replaced with new cells.  As a result, the skin becomes younger and smoother via enhanced skin integrity technology.  This results further into internal beauty and recovery of the cells within producing external beauty.  This has a domino effect to all the other organs of the body, thus, making the immune system fully optimized, preventing diseases, and restoring the body cells to its original form.

"Transfer Factor is a miraculous discovery that was first made in 1949 - a tiny molecule in white blood cells, a communication molecule that helps alert immune system cells to what they ought to be doing", says David Lisonbee, CEO & Founder of 4Life Research LLC, Sandy Utah USA.

In medical parlance, according to Kirkpatrick, et. al, "Transfer Factors are peptides consisting of 44 amino acids. Transfer Factor molecules are smaller than antibodies and just one third the size of a virus and have molecular weights of less than 10,000 daltons (between 3,500 to 5,000 daltons). Transfer Factor (TF) (produced by 4Life Research, USA) is a hypoallergenic product, free of casein, lactoglobulins and other large proteins, but it does contain intact cytokine fractions identical to leukocytic cytokines. Academician A.A. Vorobiev of the Russian Academy of Medical Sciences points out that unlike other immunomodulators Transfer Factor has a wide spectrum of activity, is safe, is administered orally, has no contraindications or side effects, and is effective both in adults and children."


According to the book of doctors, PDR Physician's Desk Reference edition 2012, Transfer Factor (TF) is an immunologic information molecule (meaning made by the immune system) which contain antigen information which educates, boosts, and helps maintain immune system balance. TF is the best Adjuvant or Adjunct to medicine, meaning it works well with medicine to make your recovery 437% faster because it can EDUCATE, BOOST AND BALANCE your immune system army to tow away and destroy toxins and other antigenic stimulus e.g. bacteria, virus, parasites, fungal and tumor cells from your body.  So, your body becomes free from any molecular debris from head to foot.  When you are finally clean, disease will cease to be. So, if you take this daily, then you become clean everyday as toxins are wiped away daily. Remember toxins come in to our body 24/7 due to the influx of pesticides, formalin, NO3 and other chemicals in our fruits, vegetables, meat and almost all our food are now contaminated, even milk from our mothers. Our immune system cells are generally dumb (mangmang) thats why 36 vaccines as a baby provided us with 36 information to recognize a very limited number of pathogens, but with Transfer Factor, you are enjoying UNLIMITED IMMUNOLOGIC INFORMATION as it is extracted from cows colostrum and chicken egg yolks.  Of thousands of animals the cows and chickens won because of their super heroic immune system because they can build immunologic information on real time basis. Mother's colostrum in the first three days also contain TF but with limited information, but still it bridges the generational gap by passing cell mediated immunity from mother to infant with 500,000 immunity codes.

Ever wonder why cows and chickens don't die of dengue?  Have you read in the papers cows dying of dengue? (Nabalitaan nyo ba BAKA dedbol sa dengue?) None.  Why? They have something we don't have, and thats Transfer Factor with Unlimited Immunity Codes.  So, we might as well get it from them for MOTHER NATURE HAS GIFTED THEM with TRANSFER FACTORS WITH UNLIMITED INFORMATION so they will not become extinct in the wild. Otherwise wala na tayong breakfast . This is free
from Ig (Immunoglobulines or antibodies) and hormones of the cow and chickens because it passed through our Patented Dry Bio-Tech Ultra-Filtration Extraction Process Machine. Transfer Factor is common in all of the animal kingdom (that includes humans) as clinically
proven by science. Meaning, it is not foreign to humans even if it comes from animals. Doctors who are now using TF enjoy overwhelming success in their practice because TF is a Toxin Remover, a Pathogen Detector or a Virus Protection Software, wherein antigen stimulus not yet known to doctors or not yet written in the books of medicine are already recognized by the cows and chickens.  If you ask me why some cows die of mad cow disease and why do birds die of bird flu, well, these animals have compromised immune systems due to exposure to hormones, pesticides, antibiotics and other drugs. So not all cows and chickens are the same. Our cows and chickens in Sandy, Utah USA are free from all of these thats why our 4Life Research Manufacturing Plants are APPROVED BY THE FDA. Our bottles are on the other hand APPROVED by the GRAS (Generally Recognized As Safe) USA. In the Philippines, we are APROVED BY BFAD.
 





Dr. Ma. Luisa Abad-Venida's patient above, a difficult case called Churg Straus Syndrome, was given Transfer Factor and was discharged in just 3 days.



In a Clinical Study by Dr. Kieselvsky of the Russian Academy, Transfer Factor was found to be the best balancer or Immuno-Corrector  of the Immune System.

Angioplasty Cancelled in 3 Days Just Using Transfer Factor





Do you know that Transfer Factor can make you 4 years younger in just 6 weeks?




In the above scientific study, it was revealed that Transfer Factor can truly make you 4 years younger in just 6 weeks!

This means TF can actually make your arterial biological age 1 year younger every 10 days by a process called 'internal homeostasis', general cleaning of molecular debris in your arteries by your immune system soldiers. TF orchestrates the clearing activities so that old plaques are removed from the arteries making you young again. Therefore, if your arteries are clean, will you still suffer from heart disease?

What is TF?

As mentioned, Transfer Factor is known to be the only supplement in the world made by the immune system for the immune system.

Transfer Factor is not a drug, nor is it a cure. What it does is it educates, enhances, and balances the immune system by way of focusing on the T-Lymphocytes, or Killer T-Cells.

This induces a cell-mediated immune response, which causes a positive domino effect on the entire human body.

In medical parlance, according to Kirkpatrick, et. al, "Transfer Factors are peptides consisting of 44 amino acids. Transfer Factor molecules are smaller than antibodies and just one third the size of a virus and have molecular weights of less than 10,000 daltons (between 3,500 to 5,000 daltons).

Academician A.A. Vorobiev of the Russian Academy of Medical Sciences points out that unlike other immunomodulators Transfer Factor has a wide spectrum of activity, is safe, is administered orally, has no contraindications or side effects, and is effective both in adults and children."



Transfer Factor is not a vitamin, mineral, herb, antioxidant nor a drug. Transfer Factor is the IQ of the immune system. Transfer Factor is pioneering in Transferceutical Technology. The other supplements belong to the Neutraceutical Technology.




Transfer Factor is an information molecule that educates, enhances and balances the immune system. First, it educates or teaches the immune system cells to recognize diseases in the body and send these soldiers to attack and kill invaders such as bacterial, viral, parasitic, fungal, malignant, neurological and autoimmune diseases. Second, it enhances the immune system by boosting it beyond its original state up to 437% increase in killing rate or immune activation. With this outstanding ability, the immune system can now destroy 97% of cancer cells in a 48-hour laboratory test in vitro, (please see test below an illustration by JEUNESSE Inc., Institute of Longevity Medicine, California USA). Third, it balances the immune system when it is over reacting causing autoimmunity, such as diabetes, an auto immune disorder of the pancreas, wherein good cells fight other good cells due to immune misfire or immune system mistake. This erratic behavior is balanced by Transfer Factor through its ability to command suppressor cells to suppress inflammation thereby normalizing it.


According to Dr. Jose Panopio, "Transfer Factors are pre-processed pre-formed antigen specific receptors that binds with the TCR (T-Cell Receptors) to induce a CMI (Cell Mediated Immune) response, which is the making of the immune machinery."



Transfer Factor educates the T-Cells by a process called 'Mimicry' or mirroring by acting like a side mirror for the T-Cells to view or recognize incoming viruses, thereby effectively informing our immune armies on incoming enemies to get ready and reject microbe entry, thus, rendering the viruses incapacitated or helpless.  Viruses will only be effective if inside the T-Cells, which is their main goal--to replicate itself using human cells.  So, if they are not able to that, then there is no harm done to the body cells.  DNA viruses can result into cancer, while RNA viruses can develop autoimmunity.  TF can therefor educate the immune army to prevent viruses from entering  and replicating resulting into prevention of diseases.  Taking TF daily will practically prevent infections and development of chronic problems.









The chart above shows that our immune system can be imbalanced, either over reaction or under reaction.  So there is a need to balance it by using TF as shown above.  Use TF Tri-Factor for over reaction, while TF Plus for under reaction.  Use TF Tri-Factor 2 capsules 2 x a day for milder attacks, and 2 capsules 3 x a day for severe ones.  For Cancer and other infections, use TF Plus 5 capsules 3 x a day for Stage 1. For Stage 2, 3 & 4, increase dosaging by combining with TF Tri-Factor 3 caps 3 x a day + TF Riovida 30ml 3 x a day.  There is no overdose.  We call it megadose. It is safe, no contraindication with drugs and no side-effects, since TF is 100% natural and no toxicity.


Vitamins, minerals, herbs and antioxidants are the building blocks of the immune system while Transfer Factor is the immune intelligence of the immune system.

2. DISCOVERY OF TRANSFER FACTOR

Transfer Factor was discovered in 1949 by Dr. Sherwood Lawrence, USA, while doing an experiment. He asked one question that no other doctor asked during his time: Can immunity be transferred from a donor to a recipient without having gone through the disease? So he went to his laboratory and did a series of tests. He extracted blood specimen from donors who have developed immunity on tuberculosis. He extracted the T-Cells from the white blood cells of these donors and injected it to his assistant who never had tuberculosis. In two days, a tuberculin test revealed that his assistant was sensitized to TB, just using the blood extracts. Dr. Lawrence was very glad at this phenomenal result. History was made confirming his theory that immunity is therefore transferable from one specie to another and vice-versa. He studied the blood samples in the laboratory and discovered that these strange molecules attached to the T-Cells were responsible for transferring the immunity, so he called them Transfer Factors. So the name Transfer Factor was born in 1949. This revolutionized medicine instantly. However, this was a time when science came in and told Dr. Lawrence to stop the regimen until he finds a safer and more suitable source of Transfer Factors other than the human blood.

In 1950, antibiotics became the golden child of medicine. Antibiotics’ popularity overshadowed Transfer Factor, which was eventually shelved.

In 1960, steroid became the golden child of medicine.

In the 70’s and 80’s, the urgent call for Transfer Factor was revived due to the overwhelming side effects and limiting power of drugs. Antibiotics are powerless when bacteria grow wiser. It has no effect on viruses. Steroids, on the other hand, made people bloated. Women grew hairs on their faces, and inflammation worsened causing more harm than good. At this time, 4Life Research was in the forefront and hundreds of scientists were challenged to find Transfer Factor in other sources. US$42 Million was spent on research. Finally, Transfer Factor was found, of all places, in the woman’s milk. Transfer Factor molecules where found in the milk called colostrum (available only during the first three days of milk upon birth).

Before this discovery, an interesting fact was recorded: In the early years, scientists and researchers observed that the milkmaids seldom got sick. Even during an epidemic, they were spared from fatal diseases. While thousands died, they remained healthy as ever. Milkmaids did not die of infectious diseases, and normally they die of old age. Their remarkable health led to the conclusion that milking cows may have something to do with it. The question arose: Can human beings get immunity from cows milk?





In several instances, when the young calves were separated at birth from their mothers, they die after two weeks.  So without TF, all animals would die and perish from this earth.

Babies, too, that were not breast-fed during the first three days of birth became sickly and experienced more allergies, asthma and diarrhea attacks. These observations led to the discovery of Transfer Factor molecules in the first three days of milk called “Colostrum”. In cows, its found within the first five days or first 9 gallons of milk. The chicken egg yolk also contained similar Transfer Factor molecules. After testing these molecules they were found to be similar in molecular structure and that they are non-species specific, meaning they can be transferred from humans to animals and vice-versa. They carry immunity codes or templates of antibodies transferred from mother to baby, which helps the young offspring survive the first six months of life.
