A BREAKTHROUGH in HEART HEALTH
TF Cardio: “Targeted Transfer Factors”

Recently, the prestigious journal, Scientific American*, reported the results of a study on a breakthrough in the understanding of heart disease. For the past few years, a number of scientists have been re-evaluating the root cause of heart disease. Health professionals throughout the world have been concerned and confused by the increase in the incidence oheart disease. The article in Scientific American authored by Dr. Paul Libby from Harvard University explained the new understanding of heart disease.

During the past few decades, the general public has experienced a continuous increase in heart disease in spite of an increase in exercise, nutritional consumption and a decrease in fat consumption. The haunting question has been why? Last year, more than one million people died of heart disease. It is estimated that more than 60 million people in the United States have some form of cardiovascular problem. The fact that 40% of individuals that experience heart attacks do not have high cholesterol levels and exhibit no symptoms of circulatory problems is an unexplained phenomenon in cardiovascular health. Underscoring the seriousness of this problem was the discovery of how early in life heart disease begins. In a recent study of autopsies of individuals that died in automobile accidents, it was found that the majority of 16-34 year-olds suffered from the beginning stages of heart disease.

Recently, studies have revealed the true cause of heart disease. This discovery explains the increase in heart disease over the past few decades in spite of all the efforts to reduce heart disease. Research has found that the universally accepted hypothesis for the cause of heart disease has been wrong. Cardiologists throughout the world have been wrong on the cause of heart disease and wrong on how to address heart disease. It was once believed that over a period of time cholesterol clogged the artery like a drain becomes clogged. This study found that heart disease actually begins with an immune system dysfunction.

Scientists found that there are two basic pathways through which the immune system becomes involved in a cascade of events that lead to heart disease. One of these pathways begins with an infection in the lining of the artery. There are six known pathogens that are found within the lining of the artery that may be involved in triggering an initial immune system response. The second pathway involves modified cholesterol entering the lining of the artery. In response to these pathways, the immune system creates a cascade of inflammatory responses that initiate the process that leads to heart disease.

The Harvard University researcher discovered the greatest danger was not cholesterol building up inside the artery channel but cholesterol building up inside the lining of the artery. The cholesterol actually explodes into the channel of the artery from the lining, often without notice and in seemingly healthy individuals with a dysfunctional immune system being the primary agent of disease. Scientists found that even individuals with strong immune systems in other areas can suffer from this condition.

In 1997, David Lisonbee had a theory that heart disease was related to a dysfunctional immune system. In 1998, he commissioned Dr. Hennen to initiate a research project that would address the connection between the immune system and heart disease. In order for Dr. Hennen to achieve this goal, he had to take the science of transfer factors to a level that had never been achieved before by any other scientists. In August of 2002, all of his extensive research paid off in the unveiling of TF Cardio.

In order to apply this breakthrough to cardiovascular health, these researchers had to develop new biotechnology. Transfer factors were bio-engineered to target pathogens hiding in the lining of arteries. These pathogens are believed to create the cascade of events leading to inflammation and heart disease. Also, the transfer factors have the ability to balance the immune system in the lining of the arteries. It appears that a balanced and functional immune system is a key to the health of the cardiovascular system.

Transfer factors contain inducers and suppressors that work together to balance or modulate the immune system. It is believed that the suppressors in transfer factors will reduce inflammation. Inflammation is a cause of some cancers, certain types of heart disease and other health conditions. Although targeted transfer factors form the core ingredients that make this formulation effective and exceptional, several other important nutrients have been included in order to address other issues in the health of the cardiovascular system. Nutrients such as red rice brand extract, CoQ10, and arginine have been included in order to provide the best overall natural approach to a healthy cardiovascular system.

Research has indicated that red rice brand extract can be beneficial in maintaining healthy levels of cholesterol. CoQ10 is an enzyme that is involved in the production of cellular energy in every cell in your body. CoQ10 interacts with other natural chemicals in the mitochondria. Every cell in your body must have energy to stay alive and properly perform its function. The heart is a muscle that is constantly working and under pressure. A great deal of energy is expended through the heart muscle. More than 4,000 studies have been conducted on CoQ10 in conjunction with a healthy heart.

Arginine is involved in the production and regulation of nitric oxide. Each time the heart beats, the miles of circulatory system contract and relax. The process is very important to the delivery of blood to every cell in the body. Nitric oxide is chemically involved in this process.

Magnesium and potassium are included in this formula. These minerals are involved in the body’s attempt to maintain healthy blood pressure. Copper and Zinc are included because of their influence on the immune system and in maintaining healthy levels of “good” cholesterol or HDL. Selenium, folic acid, vitamins B-12, C, E, and the amino acid lysine are included to decrease lipid oxidation, decrease platelet aggregation, reduce homocysteine levels and affect a number of other important body functions.

Heart disease is the number one killer. Many people live compromised lives because of an unhealthy cardiovascular system. A great number of individuals that experience sudden heart attacks do not have high cholesterol levels or any signs of heart problems. Our knowledge of nutrition and good health has greatly increased in the past few years. Many individuals are taking a proactive approach to health.

4Life Research has established itself as the leader in cardiovascular health by being the first scientists in the world to discover and patent this new technology. Presently, this is only technology that utilizes a nutritional pathway in addressing the most recent discovery reported by researchers from Harvard University.

New Breakthrough Advances Our Knowledge of Immunity

Richard Bennett, Ph.D.

Applied Life Sciences

At a time when science is just beginning to understand how transfer factors work in the vastly complex communications of the immune system, people throughout the world are reaping the benefits of improved health and immune system function from these amazing molecules.

The work of many researchers demonstrates that transfer factors educate and enhance immunological functions. Highlights of this work include the documentation that natural killer (NK) cell lymphocyte activity significantly increases after a single pulse of transfer factors.

Transfer factors are fundamentally the information molecule of the immune system. In a small portion of the transfer factors peptide (a string of amino acids), the molecular identity of a virus, a bacteria or other pathogen is encoded. At the molecular level, this is analogous to casting a footprint in wet sand; that impression is transfer factor.

When the immune system sees these “footprints,” it grabs them, processes them and hands them off to uncommitted or immature immune cells that do not have a footprint of their own. In the process of grabbing and passing off this information, many cytokines are secreted into the immediate area. In particular, the cytokines interleukin 12 (IL-12) and interleukin 2 (IL-2) provide general excitement and enhancement of all immune cells and the NK cell in particular.

Transfer factors for commercial use were first obtained from the colostrum of dairy cattle. With the subsequent discovery of transfer factors in the yolk of hen’s eggs, science took a big step in the development of transfer factors targeted for specific organs. As hens lay an egg a day, they have become a significant source of transfer factors.

The idea to blend bovine (cow) colostral transfer factors and avian (chicken) transfer factors came from the notion that the two sources of transfer factors from different species may provide a broader array of microbial identities encoded in the transfer factors to educate the immune system in a synergistic fashion.

To test the idea that a blend of transfer factors may further enhance immune function, scientists used the NK cell assay. The NK cell assay is the best test currently available to evaluate immune function. The NK assay uses living lymphocytes in an in vitro, or lab, setting. Using this assay, researchers were able to determine the specific blend of bovine and avian transfer factors that outperformed all the others. The study results exceeded the researchers’ expectations and provided important insights, primarily that it does appear that the blend works synergistically.

What Natural Killer Cells Do Before discussing the test, it is important to understand the function of NK cells in the immune system. Scientists and physicians the world over, are just now recognizing the power of the NK cell to control viral infections and tumors. They use some of the natural immune modulators to attempt to enhance immune function. A great number of studies show very clearly that the NK cell can and does control and help contain many types of cancer and virally-infected cells.

The NK cell is a unique type of lymphocyte as it needs no priming or education to function as the T- and B-lymphocytes do. Rather the NK cell has the ability to recognize foreignness. A tissue transplanted surgically is often rejected by the NK cell unless the tissue “match” is very good and certain immune-suppressing drugs are given. A cell that has transformed into a tumor or a cell that has become infected with a virus may lose its native character and appear foreign to the NK cell.

The NK cells patrol all the cells of the body and make physical contact with the “NK kiss.” If the kiss reveals that the cell is okay and not foreign, the cell is given grace. If the kiss reveals that the cells are a tumor or virally-infected, the kiss is the kiss of death and two types of toxins elaborated by the NK cell destroy the cell.

The NK cell used to be thought of as a primitive form of immunity. It is now very clear that the NK cell is the “king pin” of the immune system and has great influence over many immune functions. Thus, high functioning NK cells have many important roles in maintaining optimal immune function and balance.

Measuring NK Cell Activity White blood cells from healthy donors provided a source of lymphocytes for the assay. Unmarked samples containing several different combinations of transfer factors sourced from cow colostrum and chicken egg yolks were incubated with the NK cells for various time periods of up to 48 hours in order to identify the most potent blend ratio. Known quantities of NK cells are added to small wells containing living cancer cells. These cancer cells are the targets for the NK cells. A dye that can be measured electronically is used to indicate when a cancer cell is lysed, or killed. This allows for objective measurement of the NK cell actions. The test then determines the number of the target cancer cells destroyed by the NK cells. The percent cell lysis (CL) is the important measure.

Natural Killer cell Test Results

(The Cancer Killing Cell)

The NK cell tests for the avian/bovine 4Life Transfer Factor blends and 4Life Transfer Factor Plus blends revealed the optimal blends that induced the NK cells to kill 69 and 97% of the cancer cells, respectively (Figure 1). This represents a 283 and 437% increase over baseline, or control NK cell function, where no Transfer Factor was added. To further validate the test, the lab used a positive control. In this case, the positive control was the potent physiological immune mediator called interleukin 2 or IL-2. Interleukin 2 very specifically stimulates NK cell actions and, when used in drug form, is known as a standard for some types of cancer research. In the NK cell assay, IL-2 gave an 88% increase in cell lysis. Amazingly, 4Life Transfer Factor Plus Advanced Formula outperformed the positive control and was dubbed by the researchers as the “golden interleukin.”

Interleukin 2 is used in medicine for certain cancer patients. It is used in the hope that it will increase NK cell function and improve outcomes. Unfortunately, IL-2 is experimental, very expensive and can have rather toxic side effects when administered to patients. Both laboratory studies and human experience show that 4Life Transfer Factor and 4Life Transfer Factor Plus are non-toxic and well tolerated by animals and people alike. More than likely, these two products work to stimulate a natural release of immune modulators like the interleukins.

In the laboratory test, the highest-performing blend also revealed some new important information. The 4Life Transfer Factor blend followed a classic dose-response curve. Simply put, this means there is a dose of the blend in this assay that provides the optimum response. A smaller dose provides a lesser response and conversely a higher dose provides no additional benefit. Most nutritional supplements as well as prescription drugs function in the classic dose-response fashion.

Shown in Figure 2 is the actual data from the highest-performing blend. This somewhat complex piece of information gives scientists confidence in the NK cell assay and describes the dose-response character of 4Life Transfer Factor blend.

4Life Transfer Factor Plus Advanced Formula

4Life Transfer Factor Plus Advanced Formula increased NK cell lysis 437%, that’s nearly 450%, the maximum that this particular assay can measure. Just how this combination of ingredients works is not clear, yet the components are the subject of active research by molecular immunologists.

The additional components of 4Life Transfer Factor Plus Advanced Formula may account for the greater response over IL-2. The plant-based complex polysaccharides, like mannins and glucans, have the ability to interact with special receptors on other immune system cells. The macrophage and antigen processing cells (APC) activate in the presence of these plant materials. They appear to these cells as if they are products of bacteria or yeast. The interaction causes further release of stimulating cytokines. Thus, the two sources of stimulation synergize to give the high NK cell functions.

This type of immune stimulation is desirable, as it now appears from recent studies that a stimulated immune system is a high-functioning and balanced immune system. The concept of balance has great implication for regulation of immune functions that have gone astray.

In a matter of one day after a new viral infection, the cytokines are in action and soon thereafter, the NK cell activity increases and peaks. At this peak, the total viral load plateaus. This plateau is due to the action of the NK cells killing virally-infected cells and stopping replication of the virus.

It is now clear that early and effective NK cell function is critical and determines the outcome and duration of an illness.

Health Implications

Supplementing immune function and vigilance is now possible at a level unknown less than a decade ago. The paradigm shifts, as we have the ability to move the NK cell peak activity from hours to days earlier. The amazing implication is that with improved NK function, infection without illness is possible as is tumor recognition and destruction before the tumor becomes recognized as disease.

The opportunity to prevent illness has been rather illusive, except for the application of a few vaccines. The ability to safely and inexpensively improve immune function makes this hope no longer illusive. Prevention is indeed the key and available to everyone through transfer factor.
