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.

The following study was conducted at the Institute of Longevity. The purpose of the study was to examine the synergistic effects of the components of Transfer Factor Plus™. Each component was tested separately and then tested as a whole unit. Together the proprietary blend increased NK Cell functions more than the sum total of all of the ingredients tested separately. This study indicates that the intelligence contained in Transfer Factor™ has an enhancing effect on other nutrients.

In vitro study:

Ingredient 10 GM /ml NK Function
PBMC (Control) 25.6%
Zinc 26.8% NS
Proprietary Blend 59.9% <0.02 (Mushrooms etc)
Zinc +Prop. Blend 95.4 <0.01
Transfer Factor™ alone 128.5% <0.01
Complete Prod. (Transfer Factor Plus™) 273.6% <0.01
The sum of the individual product is less than the Complete Product (Transfer Factor Plus™).
There is synergy in having a combination of Transfer Factor Plus™.

This information has not been evaluated by the FDA or 4Life. This information is not intended to promote any of our products as a medical cure. Nutrients do not directly cure diseases or destroy germs. Nutrients reinforce the immune system. Our immune system naturally fights germs and attempts to keep us well. Although there is a volume of research that would indicate nutrition has a powerful effect on our immune system and health, all research is open to interpretation and contradictions. We cannot conclude that in vitro (In the lab) studies will work in the human body. When analyzing in vivo studies (in the body), one must understand the nature of the study and products involved in order to draw a viable conclusion. Remember that even doctors have differences of opinions. Some doctors will endorse natural products for medical use while others will not. A possible placebo effect must be taken into consideration when reviewing testimonies. The preceding information is provided as one source of educating oneself.
