Transfer Factor, The Immune System and Cancer

According t o Dr. George C Pack, MD, a cancer specialist at Cornell medical School, almost everyone has cancer cells present at times in our bodies. If our immune system is working properly, these cells are killed or reabsorbed by our defense system before they begin to grow and threaten our health. The only real defense against cancer is the immune system.

The Cancer Research Institute was founded in 1953 to foster the science of cancer immunology, which is based on the premise that the body's immune system can be mobilized against cancer. This field, which CRI helped pioneer and develop, has been recognized throughout the world as offering great horpe for the ultimate prevention and treatment of human cancer.

The immune response is the body's way of defending itself against foreign substances that invade it to cause infection or disease. The immune system's job is a complicated process that involves the coordinated efforts of several types of white blood cells. The pictorial below depicts the process by showing how the immune system destroys viruses.

Trials with Transfer factor and Cancers

Darryl See, M.D. conducted the following studies after his initial trial showed the awesome immune boosting qualities of Transfer factor.

The initial results of a groundbreaking independent study using Transfer Factor™ and Transfer Factor Plus™ yielded unprecedented results in a study done by the Institute of Longevity Medicine in California, a laboratory recognized for its research and expertise in measuring the ability of ingredients to significantly boost the immune system. Dr See had showed that Transfer Factor Plus™ increased the NK cell activity 248% above normal immune response without supplementation, or about five times higher than any of the other 196 previously tested products. This is higher than any other drug, vitamin, herb, etc.

In the follow up research, twenty patients, 12 men and 8 women, were selected for this in vivo study.  The average age was 49.3.  The twenty individuals were each level 3 or level 4 cancer patients.  Each patient was basically sent home by his or her oncologist to die.  The average life expectancy was 3.7 months.  The protocol was to place each patient on 9 capsules per day of Transfer Factor Plus.  The patients were given a number of other general nutrients*.  After eight months, 16 of these individuals were still living and were either in remission, improving or stabilized.

The baseline for natural killer cell function was 6.4.  Within 4 weeks the average NK Cell function was increased to 25.7 and in 6 months it increased to 27.6.  This represented a 400% increase in NK Cell function.  This is an ongoing study.  This study has been submitted to a peer reviewed publication.

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.

Cancer - Testimonials

On March 25th, 1999, I went in for surgery (as planned), and the doctors removed a tumor from my right lung along with the top 1/3rd of my lung and three sections of my ribs.  The surgery went very well, and the doctors believed that they had successfully removed all of the cancer from my body.  After my surgery, I went through an additional 12 weeks of chemotherapy from May to July 1999, as a "safety measure."  It was during this time that my body became so weak that all I could do was sleep and lie in bed all day.  I lost all of my hair at this point, and my fingernails and teeth became so brittle I started to lose them as well.  I lost my appetite completely and got to the point where I weighed only 88 pounds.

Even as sick as I was in the summer, I was still hopeful that by fall I would get stronger after the chemotherapy was out of my system.  My hope was short lived, however.  In August, I found a lump under my left arm.  After another surgery to remove that tumor, the tests confirmed that I had malignant lymphatic cancer (cancer of the lymph nodes) and that the cancer was all over my whole body.  At that point in time, my team of doctors told me there was nothing they could do for me.  I had stage 4 (final stage) cancer and I had a maximum of 4 to 6 months to live. They told me to do everything I’ve always wanted to do in life within the next 45-60 days because after that, I would be much too weak and too sick to do anything whatsoever.  By this time, I was convinced that I was going to die - especially since the doctors had never seen a person live beyond 8 months, in my condition with my kind of cancer.

At this point, I shared the devastating news with my kids, and we all took a trip to Hawaii.  In my own mind, I knew that this would be my "farewell trip."  I had given up every ounce of hope, and I had mentally prepared myself to die.  It was at this time (1st week in October) that my son finally convinced me to start taking Transfer Factor.  In my mind, I was 100% convinced that it wouldn't do anything for me, but nonetheless, I started taking six Transfer Factors Plus and six regular Transfer Factor capsules every day.  Within 30 days, I started to feel a little stronger and regained my appetite, but I still believed in my mind that my life was soon to be over.  I kept taking the product. By January 2000, about 90 days after starting on Transfer Factor, I found myself even stronger and had gained back 7 pounds.

I continued taking Transfer Factor every day.  It’s now been 7 months since I started taking Transfer Factor (May 2000).  I've now gained a total of 26 pounds and I feel healthier than I've felt in over 2 years.  I just went to see my doctor 2 weeks ago, and he said that, "I'm a living Miracle" and that I have no signs of cancer.  Transfer Factor has not only saved my life, it has given me hope for tomorrow and the years ahead.

Carlos Peacher

"I’m 37 years old, and two months ago I was diagnosed with papillary thyroid cancer.  The pathologist said that he was 95% sure that I had papillary thyroid cancer.  Well, I didn’t believe him.  So he gave the results to two other pathologists on blind study who confirmed that indeed I did have cancer.  I was already following a nutritional program, so on top of that I started taking one Transfer Factor™ three times a day and two Transfer Factor Plus™ three times a day.  I took those on top of my baseline nutritional program for two solid weeks before my operation.  They removed the entire thyroid and they couldn’t find any cancer whatsoever.  By the way, I have the lab results saying that I had cancer, and the follow up lab results stating that I don’t have cancer. I’m really happy with the results." 

"My mother experienced a very excruciating death from an aggressive form of ovarian cancer. I was only in my early teens and she was 32 years old. Her sister died of this cancer. We have a very strong genetic tendency toward cancer. I have feared this all of my life. In December of 2000 I had a tumor 10+inches in diameter removed and immediately went on chemotherapy. Since my mother was a vitamin freak and still died, I wasn’t that big on nutrition. My dad talked me into going on enhanced transfer factors. My oncologist was very impressed with how strong my immune system stayed throughout my chemotherapy. I know there is not way to scientifically prove it, but I really feel that my strengthened immune system made the difference between what happened to my mother and her sister, and myself. Now in February of 2001 I am alive and well." Angelia Howard

Helen

"My name is Helen and I am a breast cancer survivor.  I had to pace myself with every task I undertook.  I wash my hair every day and always had to pause to rest while blowing my hair dry and I have very short hair.  I went on Transfer Factor Plus™. After 11 days, I no longer needed to rest drying my hair.  On the 12th day I went to a wedding.  I danced most of the evening and the only thing sore were my toes due the fact that I hadn’t worn high-heeled shoes for so long.  Now when my partner and I take the dog out for a walk I really have to watch my pace because quite often I’ll hear; "Helen slow down the dog and I can’t keep up."  I feel great and have energy to burn and friends now say I have a certain 'glow' about me."

My secretary has had 3 major cancer surgeries, and as a result was sleepy and run down. After 48 hours of taking 4Life™ Transfer Factor™, she is energetic and able to function again. 

"When I was only 27, I received the terrifying news that I had Hodgkin's disease. I was devastated. The tumor in my chest cavity was so large that I completely filled my entire rib cage. I began on chemotherapy. At that time, my immune system was down to 2000 points. I had a friend who I knew could help me with nutrition; his name is Mike Akins. Mike recommended several supplements to strengthen my immune system. Then, Mike introduced me to transfer factors, and I began to take 12 a day. Much to my doctor's surprise, my immune system began to go up. In fact, it went all the way BACK up to 7200. The doctors said that they had never, ever seen anyone's immune system go UP during chemotherapy. Well, then the chemotherapy began to fry, literally fry my lungs, so they had to discontinue it. Amazingly, while off of the chemo, and on the transfer factors, my tumor continued to shrink. Again, the doctor's were shocked, but I went ahead and took radiation with my immune system staying up!! Now I am taking transfer factors and enhanced transfer factors. My tumor is completely GONE, and I am 30 years old. I have been free of cancer for over 10 months. This is not just a necessary product for everyone; it is something I will never be without. Thank you Mike Akins, thank you Dr. Rob and transfer factors." Ann L.

Mary's Story:  "I'm a 49-year-old woman and my cancer started when I was 17 years of age. And today I can finally say thank you to God and 4Life for giving me back my life.  In February of 1999, I was diagnosed with cancer once again and this time it was in my lungs. I had decided not to take chemotherapy.  I had already had two bouts of it aggressively and I didn't want it any more.  And I opted not to take any of the cancer drugs.  Then the cancer decided to attack my bones and spine.  In September, the doctors told me that my days were very limited.  I had heard about Transfer Factor, and in October I had started taking it.  My normal days consisted of 18 hours in bed.  Walking and eating were very difficult for me.  I ran high fevers constantly, with vomiting maybe 8 to 10 times a day.  I had started taking Transfer Factor and Transfer Factor Plus in October.  Linda Holston and Dr. Rob worked together and they said to start out on 3 Transfer Factor and 2 Transfer Factor Plus, which I did.  I began to see an immediate improvement, then when we received the press release from Dr. See, regarding the increase of the NK cells, I bumped up the dosage.  I became ill again and Dr. Rob said to cut back down.  I went back down and decided to increase daily, which I did. November the 18th, 1999, I went to the doctor and I received a phone call that evening telling me that every x-ray and every blood count test that they took was completely normal, and there were no signs of cancer.  I asked him if he was sure that it was my test and he said yes, and that everything had been tested four times by three different doctors.  Today I have my life, my family and my son is going to have a mother that he is going to be able to grow up with. I thank Transfer Factor and all the doctors for everything that they have done, and I advise anyone who has any type of disease to get on Transfer Factor and Transfer Factor Plus immediately.  And for children, keep them on Transfer Factor just as an extra protection with so many diseases around."  Mary L.

Sharon Stoller in Texas: "My husband had been battling cancer for about 2 years now and his prognosis was not good.  He's had cancer for several years prior to being diagnosed, and wasn't really expected to survive.  He's endured two rounds of chemo, and his cancer returned in 6 months.  He had to go for more chemo that was even more grueling than his first treatment and it completely devastated his immune system.  He was ill all the time and continued to experience symptoms of his illness, including bleeding from the portion of the tumor that was not able to be surgically removed, as well as overall body pain and fatigue.  Within 24 hour of starting Transfer Factor Plus he said he felt just a dramatic increase in his energy level and a diminished body pain.  And within 72 hours of taking Transfer Factor Plus his bleeding had stopped.  The most exciting thing of all is that his tumor has started to shrink and he has been on Transfer Factor only since this past August and he is now in his 11 month of being cancer free.  The only set back that we have had is when we ran out of Transfer Factor Plus and his bleeding started up right away again. Within 24 hours of restarting the Transfer Factor Plus, the bleeding stopped and we decided that we would never be without this miracle product again.  We have put our children on it.  I am pregnant and taking Transfer Factor, not the Plus.  My daughter's allergies have vanished and no one has had a cold or sniffle or anything since we started this.  It really is a fabulous product and I encourage everyone to take it.
