A guide to transfer factors and immune system health

"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."--amazon.com.
