Alternative Paths to Wellness

Scientists have known for a long time the remarkable ability of your immune system to defend the body against all kinds of infections and diseases.

"Most of the threats assaulting the immune system are completely invisible to us, yet impact us more than we can imagine. Immune cells are everywhere in your body, including your skin, lymph nodes, and blood. Prompt and effective immune cell communication and coordination is critical for immune system health." **

It all boils down to optimal balance. Your immune system is in constant flux; sometimes battling threats, other times coming back into a state of rest. Optimal balance occurs when the immune system responds quickly and effectively, but also knows when to call back the troops and rest. This results in high energy reserves, a quick and effective immune system, and increased support for every other body system.

• An under active immune system happens when immune cells aren’t working up to par. You may feel low on energy and you’re more vulnerable to illness.
• An overactive immune system is when the immune system misunderstands and responds to false signals and outside sources that aren’t actually out to get you, or it keeps fighting when it should rest.
• An optimally-balanced immune system recognizes the problem, responds to the problem, calls off the immune cells when the threat is over, and rests.

No matter what your immune system needs for optimal balance, Tri-Factor™ Formula products get the job done. " **

"Although many products on the market today provide nutrients for immune cells, what they really need (and what 4Life Transfer Factor® delivers) is education and direction. When your immune system works hard, you’re able to work and play hard. But when immune system function is impaired by too little sleep, environmental hazards, poor diet, or a high-stress lifestyle, it can’t do its job. And when it can’t do its job… well, you feel it. You should care about your immune system, because it cares for you." **

Many members of the medical community view immunotherapy as the most promising new way of addressing cancers in the future. With the introduction of Transfer Factor Plus® from 4Life® Research, the future may very well be here. This remarkable new development in immunology has been shown to increase the NK cell activity dramatically in both lab studies and in human studies.

"Boosting… balancing… NK Cells… T Cells… what does it all mean? These study results prove two very important things:

• Tri-Factor® Formula boosts your immune system in a big way
• Tri-Factor® Formula provides phenomenal balancing support.

Immune system disorders fall into two broad categories:

• See - Autoimmune Disorders
• See - Immunodeficiency Disorders

"The immune system is made up of lymphoid tissue in the body, which includes the bone marrow, lymph nodes, thymus, tonsils, and parts of the spleen and gastrointestinal tract.

Normally the immune system's army of white blood cells helps protect the body from harmful substances, called antigens. Examples of antigens include bacteria, viruses, toxins, cancer cells, and foreign blood or tissues from another person or species. The immune system produces antibodies that destroy these harmful substances."

"An immune system is a collection of mechanisms within an organism that protects against disease by identifying and killing pathogens and tumor cells. It detects a wide variety of agents, from viruses to parasitic worms, and needs to distinguish them from the organism's own healthy cells and tissues in order to function properly. Detection is complicated as pathogens adapt and evolve new ways to successfully infect the host organism."
