We have a 13 year old female cat with lymphoma Will transfer factor help her? She is currently on 2.5mg prednisone every other day. Initially, she lost a lot of weight to begin with - lymphoma was diagnosed from blood tests and biopsy taken during operation to remove 6 inches of inflamed intestines with nodes. We are currently feeding her on organic chicken and fresh fish - she'll only eat it cooked! There has been a huge improvement just from this. Our vet knows nothing on TF and I don't want to find TF makes her worse if used with prednisone.
I have a 5-year-old Shih Tzu with Cushings. I’ve just started to read about Transfer Factor as it relates to Cushings. Is there a standard in how it’s given (amount, form, etc.) and what to look for in terms of product quality.
Our 1 year old female boxer is just now showing signs of allergic reaction to her food. She is getting ear irritation (red spots, infection and itchy-ness). Our vet gave her a shot of Depro-Medrol which seemed to help but now 1 month later her ears are bothering her again. Do I need to change foods? Would your product help? Currently she is being fed Hill's Science Diet (lamb and rice) we have also tried Biljac with no better results. She is very happy and energetic and has a beautiful coat... i just hate to see her rub her ears.
I have a 13 year neutured male kitty that had a side molar extracted about 5 weeks ago. Approximately 2 weeks after the extraction I noticed the lymph nodes and salivary glands are very big, all the blood work and the needle aspiration came back negative. How long and many per day of Transfer Factor Plus capsules should I give him to eradicate the virus or infection that is causing this. He doesn't seem sick, his appetite, bowel movements and urine are ok as well.
This is a Q&A page dedicated to Transfer Factor. Transfer Factor is a set of messaging molecules that convey immune information within an individual's immune system. Nature also uses transfer factor to carry immune information from one individual's immune system to another individual. This in fact is how it got its name: by being the factor that transferred immunity from one person to another.
In 1949 Dr. H. Sherwood Lawrence was working on the problem of tuberculosis. What he was trying to discover was if any component of the blood could convey a tubercular sensitivity from an exposed recovered donor to a naive recipient. Whole blood transfusions could be used but only between people of the same blood type. Lawrence first separated the blood's immune cells, the lymphocytes or white blood cells, from the whole blood. Then he broke open the lymphocytes and separated the contents of the cells into various size fractions. What he found was that a fraction of small molecules was able to transfer tuberculin sensitivity to a naive recipient. This is what Dr. Lawrence called transfer factor.
