Antibiotics have begun to fail as the resistance of many infectious strains multiplies. Due to the failure of government control of health codes, deterioration of water quality, and frequent international travel diseases now spread more easily than ever before. Fortunately, recent research has uncovered a natural agent that can increase our ability to fight disease and improve the quality of life for many people. Transfer factor is the name given to this relatively new agent. It is found in colostrum and other sources and is a natural way of strengthening our immune systems against disease.
Transfer factor is the most exciting health discovery in recent decades.
Their role is to transfer immune recognition signals between immune cells and thereby assist in educating naive immune cells about a present or potential danger. In the harsh and hostile environment in which a baby suddenly finds itself, invading microorganisms could rapidly overcome and destroy the new life. Nature has provided a procedure to rapidly educate the infant's naive immune system. Transfer factor is a key part of this process. Dr. C. H. Kirkpatrick determined that transfer factors were small peptides of about eight amino acid residues.7 Eighteen different amino acids have been represented which may combine to create billions of different transfer factors.
