Transfer Factors Molecules And The Immune System
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. There are over 3,000 published papers and 50 years of research on transfer factors. These molecules were first discovered in the late 40's by Dr. H. Sherwood Lawrence. "Transfer factors are not only useful for disease prevention but can also help with diseases already established due to inadequate immune response. Since transfer factors-producing T lymphocytes are important in immune recognition and memory, impairment of transfer factors production could neutralize the rest of the immune response in otherwise healthy individuals. Therefore, introducing transfer factors can sometimes enable a dysfunctional immune system to return to normal." Greg B. Wilson, Ph.D. and James B. Daily, Jr., Ph.D
