Did you have fevers and >constant colds or did you not get fevers and colds? thank you, JL </italic>I did (do) not have fevers or colds. I mostly have cognative and fatigue issues. But this trial has a bunch of Fibro ppl too and they are reporting major increases in functioning. It is taken sublingually. How the stuff works and the science behind it is a bit confusing to me. There is a ton of info on it on the web though. This isn't Chiropractic or some herb from China though! The concept and science has been around for a while but apparently the processing issues have made it impractical. Chislom has a angle on this that no one else has. <italic>From: " , T. " <<S@...> How much does it cost? What type of symptoms did you have? Does it require a Dr.'s scrip? Thanks Steve </italic>I actually don't know how much it costs. The trial was free but I had to get a speical Lyme test that cost $300. Most of the stuff is targeted to the Lyme bug. No Dr. prescrip its a " vitimine " type of product. <italic>From: ne Kieffer <<theocean@...> Also, at the sight you gave us(not you stephen, I can't find the orginal posters post to the list sorry) but at the site he posted to this list it really looks like they are just trying to sell the products. Also, has anyone tried that betamax that is on the site as well? I guess its glucan or somthing like that. JL </italic>Yes that site is a sales site. They had a bunch of previous batches of the stuff that didn't get any widespread trial in the CFS community (mostly aids and from what I heard it was effective). I tried it for 3 months and did function a bit better, actually I only noticed how good it worked until I stopped for a while and back slid, then some more brought me back up again to where I was. The batch I'm on now was specifically cooked up for CFS ppl. It has all sorts Transfer Factors for the Lyme bug and others. The beta Glucon is the real deal too. It is a Macorphage stimulator with all sorts of scientific proof about its effacacy. I don't know how increased Macrophages help us but it I figured it can't hurt. I'm also on the Beta as part of the trial but have been taking it for a while. It seems to help stop colds etc. In the spirit of full disclosure I admit that I have traded some of my professional services for access and free products, we have also done a couple of small printing projects for pay. The trial I'm participateing in will be published though, and the Chisolom Bio folks just presented the preliminary stuff at a International Transfer Factor Society conference in Mexico. I was asked not to discuss this trial with anyone until publishing but the preliminary results got Chislom very excited and gave me the go ahead to post these findings. I am not being paid any commision, nor am I on the payrole, but I assume that if they start making some money (which they haven't up until this point) that my company will receive some more for-pay projects. I am not back to 100% and as far as I know knowone else is either, but the feedback so far is all good. I've heard the positive stuff from three people: The sick Dr. who is running the trial locally, her sick secratary, and the Chislom folks who are friends also.

Guest guest Posted April 29, 1999 Report Share Posted April 29, 1999 Transfer factor ( TF) is an immune modulator while antivirals are, well, antivrals - they kill viruses directly without relying on your own immune system. TF works by restoring some ability of some part of your immune system to respond to specific bugs. TF is specific like antibodies, in that it transfers immunity only to bugs that the donor animal has immunity to. They can be viruses, bacteria, mycoplasmas or whatever. If you buy generic transfer factor, it contains TF which help you fight all the bugs that the cows or humans had natural immunity to. This is a bit ho hum, so some manufacturers of TF specifically innoculate the animals with particular bugs like HHV-6, EBV etc which means that the resulting TF will transfer some immunity for at least those bugs etc to you. Generally it seems, as far as I can make out, to be a reasonable idea to take TF at the same time as any antivirals. You should read HHV6 site http://hhv6.com/ for useful info on this. They are suggesting antivirals at the same time as interferon (beta), another immune modulator. They also discuss in detail the various antivirals which may help against HHV-6 which I think answers your last question.

Reply: At least Stania and I use Transfer Factor. I attach a copy of a recent post by me on this. If you filter your list post subjects on " Transfer factor " or " Re: Transfer Factor " you will find many posts on this question. JR ----------------------------old post re transfer factor---------------------------------------- Perhaps I am a TF junkie. I first had some by injection made from pooled (human) blood in 1989 and it saved me from any infection for 2 years. I gradually returned to my former constantly infected state over the years and crashed in 1995. I then got some TF made up from the blood of my sister. This stopped most of my infection and made me feel considerably better in general. I then started researching TF on the web, because the doctor who was organising mine said they were going to stop making it. Research seems to indicate that it is well abosrbed and effective if taken orally. I found and purchased 3 different types of oral TF: 1) Transfactor from an Italian company - specific for a range of viruses. I took it and felt OK, had no infection, but no great change in the general CFS condition. 2) 4-Life a MLM company make one made from colostrum (bovine). I took this about a year ago at the same time as trying some other things (mostly ideas from Keep Hope Alive site mentioned on this list - highly recommended by me) and in general felt MUCH better. I attribute most of this to the OTHER things, and the freedom from infection to the TF. But - who knows? 3) I have the immundynamics TF bottle I wrote earlier about. I have not tried this yet - have been waiting for a suitable time to try it. This will be soon. In general, I believe the TF's saved my life as I know it, but they haven't cured the CFS. They certainly gave me a life back because without them I was acutely infected by something most of the time. Touch wood I have just about forgotten about " infections " and probably have less of them than most people. I am one of those " susceptible to infection " PWC's. I don't know whether TF would work or not for those who already don't seem to get infections. It could work even better on those people. I read somewhere that Immundynamics/Chisolm are in the middle of trials on a new formulation for CFS (possibly on this list), but have been unable to discover any more about it from Chisolm or anywhere else. If anyone knows about this please tell us. Good luck... n . Canberra, Australia. n Tel/Fax +61-2-6239 6226 Canberra, Australia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted May 12, 1999 Report Share Posted May 12, 1999 hi, TF I take is made from human blood and it is non-specific. I am one of those who get infections only rarely but TF improved most of my symptoms (except of NMH). For the first time I was given it I got only five injections. Several weeks later my problems started to return. The second time I got a shot every two weeks which worked very well but they stopped its production (still do not know why). I got the last one one month ago. I am still quite ok but am afraid what if I won't get it anymore. I will know more in june.

Guest guest Posted November 14, 1999 Report Share Posted November 14, 1999 -- I'm involved in a study with a doctor in Kansas City using Transfer Factor. It has been developed into a pill form from cows who have been innoculated with HHV6. I'm seeing some positive results. The doctor is changing dosing schedule to daily this next month. The company he is working with is Animune [www.animune.com] and the HHV6 Transfer Factor should be on the market in January or February.

Guest guest Posted July 6, 2000 Report Share Posted July 6, 2000 , There are several transfer factor products.... There are polyvalent antigent specific transfer factors that only contain the transfer factor for one specific pathogen...These need to be prescribed by specialists and are very expensive... There is the Formula 560 Transfer Factor by Immunity Today, which is extracted from bovine colostrum and adds COQ10......It contains both non-specific and antigen specific transfer Factors. It sells for $89.95 for a thirty day supply.. There is several Transfer Factor products available form 4Life Research...The pure TF formula which contains both non-specific and polyvalent antigent specific transfer factors....It sells for $34.95 for a 30 day supply.........Transfer Factor Plus adds IP6, glyconutrients, Thymic factors and Shiitake mushrooms which boost T-Cell function and helps produce antibodies....This product sells for $49.95...There are also TF products for children and pets...............

Are we talking about the > same thing? > > Cindi > Nope, not the same thing. The product for $50/mo is best understood as a general immune stimulant. It is targeted at the mass market, not necessarily at people with specific immune problems or infections. The product at $270 is called a targeted or antigen specific transfer factor. It provides your immune system with specific information on how to attack a pathogen that I assume you have tested positive for. If you can't afford the HHV6 targeted TF, the cheaper brand is better than nothing, as it has been show to stimulate the activity of NK cells. Nk cells are our primary way of fighting viral infections. At least some people are reporting dramatic improvement using the antigen specific TF, whereas there is no information I know of yet regarding the 4Life brand with CFS. TF is generally a long term therapy, so it gets expensive after a while. Immupro is supposed to produce the same result with HHV6 IF you can tolerate a high enough dose.
