10. INTRODUCTION OF 4LIFE TRANSFER FACTOR

Inside your body there is an amazing protection mechanism called the immune system. It is designed to defend you against outside invaders that can compromise your health. Knowing this, it's easy to see why maintaininga healty immune system means living a healthier life. Understanding the function of the immune system helps us appreciate the value in maintaining its healthy function.



Transfer factors are tiny molecules found in colostrum which provide "immune knowledge" from a mother's immune system to her baby used in recognizing and fighting outside threats. By transferring information from cell to cell, transfer factors serve as "teachers" to the new cells, ensuring a strong immune system capable of surviving, even thriving, in its new environment. * Transfer factors are not species-specific and can therefore be extracted from any mammal and then be given to another mammal with the same efficacy. There are over 3,000 published papers and 50 years of research on various forms and sources of transfer factors.






Key Points

• Transfer Factor E-XF: Transfer factors are molecules found within the bodies of all mammals and birds. Transfer factors provide immune intelligence and promote the immune system’s ability to recognize, respond to, and remember invaders seeking to threaten health. Transfer Factor E-XF is 4Life's advanced transfer factor blend. Through a patented process exclusive to 4Life, transfer factors from both cow colostrum and chicken egg yolks are combined to produce synergistic immune-enhancing support.

• NanoFactor extract: Nanofractions are low-weight molecules found in the immune systems of certain mammals and birds. They possess natural intuition and function as part of the complex “command and control” network of the immune system. NanoFactor is 4Life’s patent-pending extract of nanofractions from cow colostrum. NanoFactor helps immune cells know when to act, how to act, and when to rest.

While transfer factors and nanofractions each provide effective immune support on their own, intelligence and intuition are both needed for optimal immune response. 4Life Transfer Factor Tri-Factor Formula brings together the intelligence of 4Life Transfer Factor and the intuition of NanoFactor, to regulate, boost, and balance the immune system… according to what your body needs.

• Cordyvant blend: Cordyvant contains ingredients that support the innate immune system, your first and instinctive response when your body is threatened. This blend contains known immune system nutrients, including: maitake and shiitake mushrooms, cordyceps, inositol hexaphosphate, beta glucans, soya bean extract, and olive leaf extract.

• Scientifically Studied: 4Life Transfer Factor Plus Tri-Factor Formula was developed by 4Life researchers and scientists in an effort to maximize immune system support. Results of an independent study conducted at the Russian Academy of Medical Science conclusively showed that 4Life Transfer Factor Plus Tri-Factor Formula propelled Natural Killer (NK) cell activity to a remarkable 437 percent above normal immune system response.1

Did you know?
Transfer factor and nanofraction molecules can be shared safely and effectively. Whether they are transferred from cow to human or from chicken to human, these molecules are not species specific.

Technical Points

• Natural Killer (NK) cells are important immune cells that seek and destroy harmful cells through direct contact. When invaders enter your body, these NK cells are on the front lines of your immune defense.

• The extraction processes for transfer factors from egg sources is protected by US patent 6,468,534, and the combining process for transfer factors from cow colostrum and egg yolks is protected by US patent 6,866,868.

• 4Life Transfer Factor Plus Tri-Factor Formula is also included in 4Life’s RiteStart® Men and Women.



Education and Instinct - An Explanation of T-Factors
By, Dr. William J. Hennen, Ph.D.


The abilities we have to protect ourselves are both instinctive and learned. Our instinctive responses are untrained and are our first defensive responses to an outside threat. The strength of our instinctive response oftentimes determines its effectiveness in getting us out of danger. The better our hearing, vision, and agility, the better we are able to recognize and dodge threats that may suddenly appear in our environment. Just like our instinctive responses to physical threats, our innate immune responses are part of our instinctive response to microbial threats.

The immune system has various response capabilities. Certain of these responses are instinctive and are part of what is called the innate response. These instinctive responses exist naturally without prior training. The extent of the response, however, varies according to the conditioning of the system. A better-conditioned system produces a stronger response to a given stimulus. If this innate, instinctive, and first-line immune defense is adequate no additional response is necessary.

Within the immune system certain fungal factors and other glyconutrients condition the system and increase its innate responsiveness. Cordyvant is a balanced, proprietary blend of glyconutrients designed to enhance the innate immune response and strengthen of our first-line defensive response.

If our innate ability to physically defend ourselves is inadequate, then we must learn additional skills such as boxing, Judo or Karate. Similarly, our innate immune ability may be inadequate against the microbial mob. In these cases our immune system has the ability to learn new skills. A strong immune system has the ability to invent new techniques to deal with each new challenge. This is called the adaptive or learned response of the immune system.

If one looks at the education of immune cells, it is as if they go through a grammar school, prep school, college and graduate level training. The thymus is grammar school and pre-school for the T-cells. T-cells include T-helper cells, T-suppressor cells and Cytotoxic T-cells. T-helper cells assist the rest of the immune system cells in performing their important functions. T-suppressor cells help control the immune response and keep the immune system from overreacting. Cytotoxic T-cells are a form of white blood cells sometimes called Cytotoxic T-Lymphocytes (CTL). CTLs are like a police force that generally deals with threats to the community.

The primary and secondary immune training functions of the thymus gland are weak in infants and increase in strength up until the time of puberty. After puberty the thymus gland begins to shrink and continues to diminish in size and effectiveness throughout the rest of our lives. The deterioration of the thymus within the immune system is like the weakening of the public school system. Without a strong primary and secondary school system, many children have neither the math nor the language skills to adequately understand the instructions given to them. Many things can reduce the immune system’s training and learning capability. These include immaturity, aging and stress from a variety of sources such as poor nutrition, emotional strain, infectious assault or injury.

After leaving the thymus school the T-cells develop additional skills through on-the-job training as they work against various infectious agents. If the job is too complex, too unfamiliar, or too critical, the T-cells may not be able to develop skills fast enough by themselves. When this happens, additional outside training and instructions are needed. This information comes from outside experts who donate their wisdom and experience to the T-cells. Transfer factors provides university level training to the T-cells. Transfer factors teaches courses in immune system induction for the T-helper cells. Transfer factors also instructs T-suppressor cells in control and containment of the immune system energies so that good cells are not damaged. Cytotoxic T-cells are provided sets of microbial "Wanted" posters and weapons training so as to better recognize and neutralize threats to the domestic tranquility.

Each function of the immune system is important in our overall health. A full supplement ‘training program’ strengthens all aspects of the immune system and provides the best protection for the cellular citizens of our body.

It is increasingly clear that as the world becomes a smaller place with viruses and other pathogens traveling with great ease, we face now a unique challenge. Simply put, we are now, and will be, more exposed to challenges to our health. However, nature has already provided the immune system as our defense to microbes found in our environment. The degree to which we are able to educate our immune systems to recognize invaders will help determine our ability to cope with health challenges. I urge all people to pay attention to those things that affect their immune systems."

Spontaneous Regression: Cancer and the Immune System We have all heard stories of apparently miraculous recoveries from terminal cancer, but are any of these accounts true? Absolutely. Medical journals have published thousands of case histories about seemingly incurable patients who have seen their cancers disappear in the absence of medical treatment. These examples of spontaneous regression demonstrate the power of the human immune system. It can cure cancer.


A healing crisis is also known as the Herxheimer Reaction which occurs when the body is detoxifying too rapidly and toxins are being released faster than the body can eliminate them. As you move toward better health with natural healing programs and better nutrition, healing begins to occur. As part of the healing process the body will begin to discard toxic residues which have built up in your body over the years. The healing process usually does not occur without repercussions. During the initial phase of healing, as your body begins to clean house, (detoxify) and your vital energy begins to repair and rebuildinternal organs, you may experience headache, uneasiness, flu like symptoms and fatigue.
H. Reg McDaniel, MD - "The human body has an amazing cleansing system for eliminating toxins that accumulate in the body. This system can also become inefficient and allow toxins to build up and be stored, especially in body fat, rather than be eliminated. Once this natural cleansing system begins to work more efficiently, reactions can occur. These reactions result from the stored toxins begin released faster than the liver, kidneys, skin and lungs can remove them from the body. These reactions can include loss of appetite, nausea, headaches and swelling in various lymph glands throughout the body."

Dr. Mercola - "Every act of every cell in the body produces waste. This waste is poisonous, it is incompatible with the life of the cell..." "The cells throw their waste into the lymph that carries it back to the blood. The blood takes the waste to the excretory organs mentioned above for elimination." "Normal elimination keeps the blood and lymph clean.
