A GUIDE TO TRANSFER FACTORS AND IMMUNE SYSTEM HEALTH

Neuroscientist White explores the potential of transfer factors, a little-known component of the immune system, and campaigns for continued research into their possible widespread use.

In this second edition of his book, White continues to raise awareness of the important role transfer factors play in responding to potential threats to the health of the human body. Transfer factors, found in white blood cells, carry information that helps coordinate the immune system’s response to these threats. Transfer factors from one person (or animal) can be introduced into the immune system of another person, potentially transferring an improved ability to combat threats to the recipient’s health. Since the discovery of transfer factors in the 1940s, the largely successful results of more than a thousand studies of transfer factors have been published, yet the medical community has done little to take advantage of the potential benefits of this knowledge. This begs the question of why they have paid so little attention. White writes that many physicians do not keep current on scientific research and rely too heavily on pharmaceutical companies to supply them with appropriate treatments for known diseases. The book is an effort to simplify the complex science of immunity for lay readers, especially those with chronic conditions, who may be able to convince their physicians to consider adding transfer factors to their treatment regimen. Although the guide is laden with technical detail, a focused reader can still glean basic concepts. The author presents sufficient evidence that transfer factors are effective weapons against disease and should be more widely used. White encourages physicians to consult the abstracts of published studies he has included in this book. With so many medical mysteries still unsolved, it doesn’t make sense to ignore treatment possibilities.

A convincing plea to consider an untapped resource in the fight against disease.
