A Guide to Transfer Factors and Immune System Health: 2nd edition, Helping the body heal itself by strengthening cell-mediated immunity - Softcover

In the second edition of this popular book, Dr. White takes readers on a tour of transfer factors, small peptides found in colostrum and white blood cells that are capable of transferring cell-mediated immunity to pathogens. In language that is easy to follow, the author explores nearly 60 years of research on transfer factors, beginning with their discovery by famed immunologist, H Sherwood Lawrence, in 1949. Evidence suggests that transfer factors, which are generated by the immune system in response to infections and passed from mothers to newborns in pre-milk, carry information that can help the body fight viruses (herpes, hepatitis C, HPV, HIV), bacteria, mycobacteria (tuberculosis), cancers, and perhaps certain autoimmune diseases. Like vaccines, transfer factors could help immunize the public against pathogens before they spread. Dr. White makes a compelling case that larger scientific studies of transfer factors are needed given their potential importance to public health. This book is an enjoyable read about a fascinating topic. Whether you are a patient, doctor, health enthusiast or just a fan of good science writing, this is one to keep on your book shelf. Bound to become a classic.
