Dr. Steven Slagle, DVM - 'A cat with Leukemia, an oral tumor, and posterior paralysis due to a spinal tumor was very ill and emaciated. One month after starting her on Transfer Factor Plus (human formula) at 1 capsule per day, there was some regression of the oral tumor, restored appetite with some weight gain, and increased sociability. Five months later, this cat continues to improve - she regained her normal weight, her oral tumor has regressed 80%, and she has regained the use of her hind legs and tail."

"I am a veterinarian and a long-time 4Life Distributor. Recently I used 4Life Transfer Factor Plus on a litter of guinea pigs that I delivered via c-section. The mom didn't make it but the babies did. Since they couldn't have their mom's colostrum I opened the Transfer Factor Plus capsules and mixed it with the milk supplement that they were being bottle fed. I did this for every bottle feeding for their first week of life. Happily they are doing very well. They are very robust and strong. I believe that the Transfer Factor Plus helped support their immune systems in a precarious time."

"The Feline Leukemia and Feline Immunodeficiency viruses cause the immune system in the cat to become severely compromised. In many cases, it doesn't function well enough to prevent or overcome illness and disease. I have been looking for something that I can give sick FeLV+ cats to enhance their immune systems and improve their chances of maintaining good health and fighting illness. In my search, I found the Transfer Factor™ products. I believe that these products, which are a new and completely different approach to enhancing the immune system, will be effective and beneficial to the health and recovery of any sick cat, not just a sick positive cat, and will help maintain immune system efficiency in chronically ill cats."

Richard H. Bennett, Ph.D - "For decades, the approach to maintaining healthy animals was to wait for signs and symptoms of disease to occur and to counter the challenge with an array of drugs which were toxic for the disease causing agent. This approach is now being questioned as the armada of drugs is diminishing due to multiple drug resistant pathogens. Compounding this alarming trend is the current approach to health maintenance which assumes that "all is well" until actual disease processes begin. By this time, the disease is established, sometimes irreversibly, and the damage has occurred. So the questions arises...What if a new paradigm existed? Could it be possible to optimize the immune status of animals so that (1) disease is much less likely to occur and (2) if disease does occur, it's severity and duration is minimized? The answer is YES and this paradigm shift is being engineered by small, naturally occurring protein-like molecules called TRANSFER FACTORS."

Nasal Tumor - "My cat Bodger, who is now 16 years old, has been taking the Transfer Factors Advanced Plus for nearly 18 months. I've taken him back to the vet practice for a check up. He still has some discharge from the right side, but no blood and is generally in good health. I saw a different vet this time and he told me there was no way my cat had a nasal tumor of the type diagnosed back in August 2004, because if he had, he'd be dead due to the aggressive nature of these type of tumor! He reckons he has sinusitis, due to the previous nasal damage as a kitten, which I always knew he had, but definitely NO TUMOR! So, what can I say but a fantastic result and thank you so much for the info all that time ago. You are very welcome to include this on your website if it will help others to help their pets. Incidentally, the vet took all the information on Transfer Factors and was really interested having seen Bodger today." Judith Sexton

Puppies pneumonia, e-coli and staph "A little over 2 years ago I bought a 4 year old Cocker Spaniel, she has had only 1 live puppy out of 3 litters. After taking one of the puppies to the vet for an autopsy we found out her puppies were born with pneumonia, loaded with e-coli and staph (mom's uterus was infected). Her puppies would be born alive and normal weight but start to die over the first 48 hours. To back up a bit... we put her on Clavamox from the vet for 10 days after the 2nd litter. She then had her 3rd litter, which is when we did the autopsy, and put her on Clavamox for 2 weeks. On this last heat cycle we tried it again, my vet said she was such a nice Cocker she didn't see any reasoning to spay her and discontinue trying to breed her (this was our last attempt at breeding her, if no healthy babies we were going to spay her). Two weeks before her delivery date we put her on Transfer Factor Plus 1 pill a day, we will keep her on Transfer Factor Plus until the puppies are 2 weeks of age. She has 3 strong and healthy babies, all are doing well. Momma is healthier than ever and also doing very well. I am just THRILLED! Michelle Mollman

Parvo/Distemper/Pigeon Fever "My dog was very ill with parvo/distemper and I spent $1600 to hospitalize her. They kept saying she was going to die. Transfer Factor Stress Pack is the only thing that has helped her get back on her feet. - Within a few hours after I gave her the Transfer Factor her diarrhea and vomiting stopped and she was able to sit up again and watched TV with me at home where she belongs! The Animal Stress packs also helped speed the healing of my horse's Pigeon Fever" Kelly Godwin

I discovered 4Life Transfer Factor Advance Formula which I hoped would at least help Sydney's auto-immune problem. Once I received my first shipment of 4Life Transfer Factor products I began to safely wean Sydney off the steroids. Within 4 days of taking the 4Life Transfer Factor, minimal steroids and NO pain medication, Sydney appeared to experience no discomfort and ease of mobility. I have continued administering 4Life Factor Advanced Formula with no steroids or pain medication. During his first week on this "new" treatment", he ran and played like a puppy without pain. Today, he continues to be very mobile, frisky, and seemingly pain free.

My wife and I believe that his disease is due to excessive in-breeding and more importantly over vaccination. We have since ceased his Veterinarian prescribed heart worm medication, provided an alternative heart worm therapy (Parasite Dr.), and continued administering 4Life Transfer Factor Advanced Formula.

Noticing Sydney's success, I began taking Transfer Factor Advanced Formula for my psoriasis. Whether my auto-immune system was compromised as a child with vaccinations, I do not know. However, I do know that the evidence of psoriasis has greatly diminished. I now plan to increase my dosage. I believe, 4Life Transfer Factor products accompanied with a healthy lifestyle has changed my dog's and my health. Houston Ham (850) 245-8527 email: hham *@* hcsmail.com

My dog Arnie had been given up on by the vet. He had acute anemia, a disease characterized by increased destruction of red blood cells (erythrocytes) by the dog's own immune system, and quite honestly we were making arrangements for his funeral. After one week on Transfer Factor Classic we noticed a dramatic improvement. Three months later, after finishing the entire course, Arnie is doing so well that he no longer needs Transfer Factor . He now has so much energy on his new diet that we have to restrict his intake or we could be pulling him off the ceiling. He is putting on weight steadily as is his partner Heidi, She has been on Transfer Factor also and it has cured her scaly flaky skin condition on her back.

Note: in most of the testimonials, the veterinarians, medical doctor and pet owner used the human formula, Transfer Factor or Transfer Factor Plus, to treat these animals. (They did not use the canine or feline complete formulas)

"My dog, Freckles, has been on the Transfer Factor for about a month now. WOW! I love this product. She was limping before TF because of the rod that is in her hip. I couldn'd understand because I was feeding her raw food, pure water, and herbal supplements. Shortly after taking TF, I noticed that she doesn't limp at all. I have increased her walks from 30 minutes to 45-60 minutes and she runs the entire time and seems to have a abundance of energy. My main reason for giving her TF was to build her immune system to help fight off heartworm and fleas and ticks since I had decided to put those drugs in her body. She is even healthier now. My sister commented last week that Freckles looks so healthy. Since giving her the TF, I have also included Barleans's flax seed oil for animals, added clay to her water and food and a little sea salt to her water. She is a picture of health. I think she's surpassed me :). Thanks for all your help! Freckles thanks you also." Crystal Dunlap cdunlap@DDS.CA.GOV.

"My family has an 11-year old German Shepherd mix that spent six days in a traditional vet's office because he could not walk anymore. After the Transfer Factor and flaxseed oil, this dog is now walking, frisky and in good spirits." Richard English

"I must say before I received the Transfer Factor Plus, I was really anxious and I would afraid that my Ridgeback dog, Linkin, would give up. As soon as the package arrived from England I started giving Linkin 2 tablets a day for the first 3 weeks.

He has improved in leaps and bounds and it is hard to believe that some 4 weeks ago he could not walk by himself and could hardly move around at all. I had to carry his hind legs with a towel around his waist otherwise he just could not get around.

After two weeks on Transfer Factor Plus, he started trying to get up onto his hind legs. It was difficult and heart breaking to see him struggle but he was trying. After four weeks on TF+, he managed to walk around even though he lost his balance and he hind legs would give way.

He is now walking and running around, although still a little wobbly, and he also tries to jump but does not always succeed. It is absolutely fantastic to see the improvement from week to week." Antoinette Kean, South Africa antoinette@hewkonfin.co.za

I have two pigeons. I just returned from Germany. There was an international show for pigeons. One of my birds became very ill. Its droppings became very watery and green. I decided to try transfer factor. WOW, the pigeon was up and running around like a spring chic.
Bayne Bowles

I cannot believe my eyes! My cat has leukemia and was at the end. She had no energy, and was vomiting. The vet said she wouldn't last another 48 hours. I received my order of transfer factor Pets. My vet said it was too late for anything to help, but agreed it couldn't hurt. Praise the Lord! In 72 hours she was up and around, filled with energy. In two weeks you could not tell that she was even ill. Now, in less than a month the vet says he cannot even find any evidence she is sick.
John

The veterinarian said our cat was dying. It could hardly walk. After two weeks on transfer factor Pets it is a new cat. It runs and jumps all over the place. If you have pets I encourage you to try this.

I use your product on my little cocker spaniel Kasey, who in November was diagnosed with lymphoma. She had a golf-ball sized tumor removed from her throat area. She's had six doses of chemo treatment (doxorubicin) since then. Last week during a checkup they discovered a lump in her throat area and went in for surgery. They removed a 3-inch long tumor in her jugular vein, but did not get it all. They now have diagnosed her cancer with thyroid carcinoma and now want to start her on new chemo treatments using Carboplatin. The treatments will cost $500 each. Since November I have been using Lane Lab's product MGN-3, Benefin, and Immunofin; and found your product by accident a few weeks ago. I have added your transfer factor plus canine formula - one scoop per day and 4 transfer factors. She is doing great and eating better than ever.

I have an 11 year- old dog, a Bichon Frise who has had congenital kidney problems. Two surgeries for bladder stones, being on a urine acidifier for 10 years to keep the infections down, and I had to monitor her urine daily with a urinalysis dip test. She has been on transfer factor pets canine formula for two months and she now is off all of her medicine except transfer factor pets. My vet can hardly believe it, but he is now carrying the product in his clinic.

We have a wild cat that adopted us, who had 2 kittens. We have fixed them and gotten shots for them. We noticed one had a 2 inch by 1/2 inch area that was raw from scratching fleas. We gave all of the cats the transfer factor pets feline formula 3 times a week for a month. The spot has completely healed.
Pati S.

My Siamese cat has severe deterioration in her back legs. I had taken her to three veterinarians but they couldn't help her. It got to the point that she couldn't walk. After taking 3 capsules of transfer factor a day, she rarely falls down at all, and she is so much healthier and happier.

In March of 99, my dog Chelsea was diagnosed with lymphatic cancer that was detected by the removal of a tumor from her tonsil. The vet held out little hope for her survival and suggested chemo or radiation therapy. Being a strong believer in natural and alternative medicine, I instead started Chelsea on a regimen of herbs. To the vet's amazement, Chelsea seemed to make a full recovery. In December of 99 another tumor was removed from her throat. The cancer was back. When I heard of transfer factor pets canine in August, I put her on it right away and stopped giving her the herbs. Within a week, I noticed a significant improvement. Now, after only 2 months her coat again is soft and shiny, her eyes sparkle and dance and she has so much energy and joy in life. I am so grateful to this company and am now giving hope to others who had lost it.

Like a lot of families we consider our dog to be a member of the family. Well Big Al is that to us. His brother was Einstein. About two weeks ago, two lumps about the size of ping pong balls appeared on his neck. Within two days of discovering these, he was literally lifeless. He didn't move, eat or drink anything. My son would have to put water on his hands so that the dog would drink. My husband took him to the vet and after examining him the vet told my husband that we could run thousand of dollars worth of tests. Then we would probably have thousands of dollars worth of cure but considering that the dog was about 10 years old, that they should probably do the humane thing and put him to sleep. Well my husband brought the dog home and we all cried for 2 days. So I thought why not give this product a try. My husband finally got him to eat tiny pieces of tuna fish, and if you can imagine this is a big dog, and to feed him these is very tedious. So in between the tuna fish, in every other bite, we would slip in a transfer factor. He gave him about 10 for the next four days. Within about 5 to 7 days, the dog was back to normal and acting like a puppy dog again and the lumps are completely gone. The only problem that we have now is that he is spoiled so bad that I have to make dinner for five instead of four. Thank you transfer factor.

I had seen an announcement about a veterinarian's conference call, which made me think transfer factor must be okay for dogs. I have a little poodle dog with severe allergies, and last time I took him to the vet it was a $200 vet bill for all of his medication, yet the allergies were coming back. He was itching and rolling all over the floor in agony. He had bitten three of his paws to where all of the fur was off, and he had one big place on his leg with a little sore on there that he just kept biting at it all the time. I gave him two of the transfer factors, because he's only about 15 pounds; I gave him two in the morning and two that afternoon. Then the next day I repeated two in the morning and then one in the afternoon and by the second day he had stopped itching and biting at anything, and two weeks later the fur was growing back. We went to the groomer and she signed up to order it for her other dogs because she could see how much my dog had improved in such a short time. So that's my story. I'm really thankful that I found it and I think we're going to have a happy, healthy family.

I used transfer factor to help my dog get over Kennel Cough. It took only two days.
Nadean S.

In May my 11 year old yellow lab was diagnosed with Hemangiosarcoma cancer. Life expectancy was 3 months. This was discovered with the removal of a tumor. The biopsy results said it was "like a vein that had gone wild". She developed a fist size tumor on her right side, was very lethargic, developed a smoldering liver, had angry looking red skin tags all over her head, hairless red patches on her front elbows, general hair loss and hot spots, her bark was hoarse and her ear so badly infected you could smell it just walking by her. In August a friend introduced me to transfer factor Pets for Canines and within a week I couldn't believe the tremendous improvement. She now has lots of energy, her eyes are sparkling and all her other problems are clearing up rapidly. In late August she was swimming in the lake and last weekend for the first time in 3 years climbed up into my lap.

Transfer Factor (TF)is quite helpful in relieving Atopy and Sebaceous Adenitis [or Seaborrhea] in the Canine. Transfer Factor often produces remarkable results in these conditions. This comparison has been brought to mind by the introduction [again] of Cyclosporin A. as "ATOPICA". [see pages 36,37 and 38 of the Mar04 DVM Newsmag]

Atopica Side Effects
Take particular note of the side effects listed on page 38 [30% vomiting and 20% Diarrhea] it appears that 50% will have some undesirable side effects. The information states that the response to MLV vaccines while on Atopica is unknown. Thus while a patient is on Atopica, Modified Live Virus vaccines are contraindicated.

Atopica is contraindicated in any patient with a history of malignant neoplasia. In addition it states on page 38 of the March 04 DVM newsmag, that in less than 2% of the subjects there was observed Epulis, Cutaneous cyst, benign epithelial tumor, and multiple hemangioma.

Transfer Factor use with History of Neoplasia
Conversely Transfer Factor has an anti neoplastic effect and SHOULD be used in a patient with previous history of malignancy or in a patient with concurrent Malignancy such as Lymphosarcoma. In addition Transfer Factor is often used prior to administration of a vaccine as in helps produce a greater and longer lasting response to vaccine.

Cyclosporin Mechanism of Action
ATOPICA [Cyclosporin A] IS of course an immunosuppressant. An action similar to Steroids. It has long been used in Transplant Medicine to prevent the immune system attacking the transplanted organs. It is a powerful immunosuppressant.

The Pharmocologic action is to inhibit the production of Cytokines that produce Atopic Dermatitis. IL-4 and IL- 5 which are produced by the TH-2 Helper Cells. TH-2's are part of the Humoral immunity system. In addition Atopica is claimed to increase IF Gamma [Interferon Gamma] which is a TH-1 helper cell Cytokine. [keep this thought in mind to the last paragraph please]

It is important to note that there is not an immediate effect by Atopica. There may be several weeks of Treatment before pruritis is reduced. Canine dose is 5mgm/kgm daily orally. Gastro Intestinal Upset is the most common side effect. Gingival Hyperplasia may occur as well. It can be used in cats [25mgm daily] for Eosinophilic Granuloma. It seems strange to give a drug FOR Eosinophilic Granuloma that may CAUSE gingival hyperplasia. ? ? ?

Transfer Factor Side Effects and Mechanism
Transfer Factor has NO side effects. None. No LD50. No Toxic Dose. The only contraindication is organ transplant. Transfer Factor should not be given to a patient that has received an organ transplant or heterologous tissue. Thus, through the secretion and exchange of various cytokines, the billions of cells in the immune system can function in a coordinated manner as well as responding efficiently against the invasion of foreign organisms. TF provides the organization of body defense and healing mechanisms to act in concert.

Considering the description, cost and cautions of using Atopica makes Transfer Factor much more valuable for Atopic therapy. Transfer Factor which is an array of Cytokines and Cytokine products [intercellular "data" packets] that direct the activity of the Immune System. Transfer factors are small molecules of 3,500- 6,000 kDa [Daltons] molecular weight, consisting of oligoribonucleotides attached to a peptide molecule.

Transfer Factor Costs about half as much or less than Atopica. It is given daily orally. Although there is a Canine and Feline formula. I favor using the Human Capsule of TF+. For Canines, under 20Kgm One capsule twice daily for one week then one daily for 60 days. Double that for over 20Kgm. The Human label dose is one twice daily. Each capsule contains 175 mgm Transfer Factor and 75mgm proprietary adjuvant blend.

For maintenance therapy the Feline Formula or Canine Formula as a food additive is easy for the client to manage. Transfer Factor is a superior immunomodulator. Height of effect from a single dose is 5 days. Half life 15 days.

Transfer Factor (TF) ACTS WITH ANY long term antibiotic therapy for chronic dermatitis and MAY make the antibiotic therapy unnecessary.

In the least TF will shorten the length of time antibiotics are required.
TF increases effectiveness of antibiotics by increasing immune system activity, not decreasing it. Thus TF may reduce the total cost of Atopy therapy.

This is useful in allergic or autoimmune conditions. Never before has there been adequate treatment for autoimmune conditions such as Lupus, Auto Immune Hemolytic Anemia, Pemphigus, Fibromyalgia etc.

It is the selective Suppressor Cytokines that are active in Immune mediated and autoimmune conditions, are those Cytokine Products that get Atopy and Seaborrhea under control. [Cytokine Product meaning the "data packet" dispatched to direct cellular activity] Cytokines are protein molecules produced by cells of the immune system (such as T-cells and B-cells) for the communication of immune signals. Cytokines are mostly secreted in a soluble form, though some cytokines are known to exist attached on cell surfaces.

Soluble cytokines secreted from one cell will bind specifically to their respective receptor molecules on the cell surfaces of the target cells. The attachment of a Cytokine on its receptor will effect a specific immune signal within the target cell, such as to increase the production of antibodies against an invading virus or, often, to initiate the production of other cytokines so to pass on the signal. The term for this communication is "Signal Transduction".

This paragraph is all one has to know: Transfer Factor will transform a TH-2 Helper cell predominant Immune System to a TH-1 Helper Cell dominant Immune System. Th-1 Dominance [Cellular Immunity Dominant] is a much more healthy and disease resistant state.

Transfer Factor acts rapidly by invoking Eomesodermins to reconfigure TH-2 Helper Cells into TH-1 Helper Cells. By using Transfer Factor for Atopy, the immune system is strengthened and immune activity is increased 248% rather than suppressed.
