Guest guest Posted February 19, 2001 Report Share Posted February 19, 2001 Hi all, This Transfer factor, ImunneTransferC, is made by Chisholm, there website is www.chisholmbio.com. This artilce was on that website. Al PRELIMINARY STUDY OF TRANSFER FACTOR (TF) IN PATIENTS WITH FIBROMYALGIA (FM), CHRONIC FATIGUE SYNDROME (CFS) AND CONCOMITTANT LYME BORRELIOSIS J.A. Whitaker, MD*, M.H. Dopson, L.H. Mattman, PhD, and D.N. Reifsnyder, MD The present study concerns two enigmatic diseases: Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS) and Fibromyalgia (FM). Fourteen CFS and eight FM cases previously diagnosed were chosen after careful review of symptomatology. The participants in both CFS and FM groups exhibited bacterial and/or viral infections. Evaluation of the FM group consisted of monitoring the autonomic nervous system with Heart Rate Variability (HRV) and documenting hematological parameters including live-cell blood analysis. Surprisingly, in a preliminary study both diseases showed a high incidence of infection with Borrelia burgdorferi. Success in producing positive cultures was initiated by growth in cell-wall deficient stages. Blood cultures were positive in the 8 CFS and in 15 FM participants, of which 8 were chosen for this investigation. Urine antigen levels were positive in 4 of 5 FM cases (IGeneX). There have been reports that Transfer Factor is of value in producing immunity to Treponema palidum and thus another reason exists for testing Transfer Factors in CFS and FM. Multispecific Transfer Factors were developed from concentrated cultures of Borrelia burgdorferi and viral entities, antigens derived from the blood of patients and Transfer Factors derived from household contacts.
