Conditions that are supported by immune modulation (balancing)

The following information has not been evaluated by the FDA or by our company. We do not claim that our products directly prevent, or cure any disease. We do not suggest that anyone should replace traditional medical treatment with our products. Our company's products are promoted for their ability to enhance the effectiveness of our natural immune system functions. On this website you will be exposed to many testimonies and nutritional ideas. We encourage you to use common sense and prudence in evaluating testimonies, research, and the opinions of individuals who post on this board. Testimonies can be based on "placebo effects," which basically means that you can experience temporary results just because you really believe you will get better. “Placebo” results generally fade away after a short period. Keep in mind that some of these statements and testimonies come from distributors of these products who may have a conflict of interest. The accuracy of each testimony has not been verified by Professional Networkers.

Research can be complicated to translate into real life situations. The positive results achieved in the short term through in vitro and in vivo studies do not take into account long-term side effects, which could be positive or negative. There are herbs and nutrients that can be harmful if consumed in large dosages, such as vitamin A. When consuming nutrients with medical drugs, you should check with a pharmacist for possible drug interaction problems. Occasionally we have medical doctors visit our board and share their opinions and experiences. Although we believe these medical professionals are sincere, keep in mind that even medical doctors may disagree on certain subjects. It is our desire to expose you to many different ideas for your consideration. Our focus is on supporting the immune system, which can assist your body in staying healthy. The testimonies and information on this website only represent the opinions of the individuals involved. We encourage you to use common sense in your expectations in consuming any nutritional product.

The immune system is one of our defenses against disease. The immune system is the body’s actual agent involved in healing or recovering from an illness. There are nutrients that we believe can support proper immune functions. It is not our intent to indicate that nutrition can always cause the immune system to prevent all illness or any particular illness. Nor is it our intent to indicate that nutrition can always cause the immune system to heal us when we are ill. However, we do believe that research indicates nutrition is important for a healthy and responsive immune system. There is an abundance of research taking place throughout the world on nutrition and its effect on our health. There is a great deal of conflicting opinions and research. We live in an exciting time, and many of us want to benefit from all of the breakthrough research going on. At the same time we want to be wise in our approach to healthcare. On this website we attempt to provide educational information through studies, opinions and testimonies that will provide you with a variety of perspectives for your consideration. Professional Networkers does not necessarily endorse any particular perspective other than what is shared by Mike Akins himself.

We do not nor does 4Life recommend TF or TF+ for individuals that have experienced an organ transplant. Neither TF nor TF+ has been tested to see if it would effect the immune system in such a way as to encourage an immune reaction of rejecting the new transplanted organ. Theoretically there could be a problem especially with TF+ which may boost the immune system. We have included such testimonies in order to provide a variety of information to our customers and distributors.

We suggest the following products to support the health of the immune system in the areas that are involved in these types of conditions. Again, we do not claim that our products will have any direct effect on disease. We believe a healthy immune system can support traditional medical therapies. We cannot verify the accuracy of the following testimonies. We suggest that you use common sense and prudence in evaluating testimonies, research, and other types of information, and how they relate to your personal situation.

1. "My daughter suffered from serious sinus problems and asthma. Having provided the genes for her condition ( I too am asthmatic) I have felts pangs of guilt knowing that all my training could not stop the common cold virus from rendering Leena helplessly gasping for air a few hours after each infection. Her mother (a pediatric nurse) and I tried every prescription and alternative therapy known, without success. Helplessly we would stand by the bedside offering repeated breathing therapy with slow if any progress. In the local Children's hospital we agonized, like any parents, over each breath our little girl took. In our home viruses can mean colds and "colds always mean asthma!" With the onset of one particularly virulent head cold, we tried transfer factors, a product I felt, theoretically, might work. After several doses we couldn't believe how quickly our daughter's condition improved. Now taking transfer factors before a bad cold, she remains well. Thanks to transfer factors we regained a normal child. Now we all use transfer factors regularly and are enjoying the best health we have ever had." Ranya L.

2. "Some interesting observations from 4-5 kids with autism in our practice. All were started on transfer factors as a means to boost their immune system and hopefully keep them healthier. Well, that worked! But interestingly, all have shown better communication skills, better interactive skills, and less self-stimulatory behavior. Parents are delighted. Dr. Ken Boch in NY has seen similar observations. Amazing what a boosted immune system can do."

3. "I have been ill for the past 6 days with a sinus infection. I started on the enhanced transfer factors yesterday. This is my first use of it. It is amazing! I think I have found something of great value. I think anybody with allergies should have this in their medicine cabinet."

4. "I have suffered from a severe asthma and allergy condition. I used an inhaler twice a day. I was literally miserable. After taking transfer factors for a month, I have amazingly improved.

5. "Transfer factor and Fibro AMJ have really made a difference in my life. After a bout with polio when I was 28, I have suffered from spasms and pain in my neck, back, and shoulders. I've suffered bipolar problems, panic attacks, and migraines since I was a teenager. My migraines have been chronic for the last 16 years and almost constant. I have multiple sclerosis. I have days of partial paralysis and extreme flu-like pains. Since I started both of these products a little over four weeks ago, I find that I have had more good days. I still have bad days, but they have not been as often or lasted as long. During my good days, I feel that I have more strength than I had before." Sue H.

6. "I suffered with severe allergy symptoms for 8 years. Anytime there was a high pollen count I would experience swelling, itchy, red eyes, and terrible sneezing fits. I originally began taking transfer factors to boost my immune system because I had an infection. Transfer factors also balance the immune system. I took 15 per day for the first three days, then 7 per day after that. Within 10 days, I felt great. I have not experienced symptoms from my allergies for 15 months. I maintain a dose of only three per day." Chris M. Disclaimer: Neither Mike Akins nor Professional Networkers can confirm this testimony as being truthful or accurate.

7. "I see tremendous, results in my personal life. Quite particularly, I have a little boy who is eight years old. He is an asthmatic, and just recently had an asthmatic attack, it was lasting for awhile, and when you have that much mucus there is a tendency of overgrowth of bacteria and doctors right away, of course, call in the antibiotic. I chose to use transfer factors. There were tremendous and rather astoundingly quick results in the matter of a few days where I could see that he was very well clearing up. When bacteria is present with an asthmatic there is some nasty color to the mucous. That was just beginning to clear up and I was overjoyed. This is something that is cutting edge, extremely exciting, and something that I would even love to thank God for. So that was one of my personal experiences with my son and something very close to my heart." June F.

9. "I have suffered from severe allergies for years. My allergist placed me on allergy shots and I took Claritin. After two years the shots were not accomplishing what my allergist had intended. I began to consume transfer factors. My allergist noticed a major drop in my blood markers for allergies. He ask me what I was doing. I told him about transfer factors. He decided to do a short clinical study on me. He told me to go off everything for three months. At the end of three months he placed me on nine capsules of transfer factors for six months. At the end of six months he was astounded and made the comment, 'it is like you don’t even have allergies'."

10. "I began taking three transfer factors a day after receiving a post card with the NK cell study on it. I was constantly fighting sniffles or coughs and I have not had these since using transfer factors."

C.C.

11. "After taking enhanced trasfer factors for about three months, my nasal yellow discharge has been reduced by 80%. I hope by another three months' time, there will be no more yellow discharge. I have had a sinus problem for many years."

12. "I was suffering with severe allergies. I was amazed that I could feel so much better after using Super Detox Formula, Immune Formula and ReZoom for just one day!"

13. "I was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis 5 and a half years ago. I struggled with the symptoms for four years. I have two children, six and seven years old. It is hard to explain the heartache and anger that I felt when I was too tired to play with them or not able to walk well enough to care for them. I began taking transfer factors a year and a half ago. No one can possibly understand the difference it has made in my life. There were times my husband had to carry me from the car to the house because my legs would go numb. My hands would shake so much I was embarrassed to go shopping for fear people would stare. Anyone out there with ms............all I have to say is...please at least try transfer factors. My life is 90% without symptoms now. I have my life back!"

Debra Keeling

14. "I have a 4 year old son who is autistic. We began giving him transfer factors in November along with many other vitamins and supplements that he is already taking. He is also being treated for mercury toxicity and doing behavioral therapy. At his birthday party yesterday, several parents were amazed at the difference in him from a year ago. He has certainly gone from being the most often sick person in our house to the least often sick. And when you aren't sick you certainly can learn better. His progress with transfer factors led me to become a distributor and everyone in our house now takes tf."

Mark

15. "My family and I have had a history of allergies. I tried allergy shots for 5 years to see no improvement in my condition. After trying every known antihistamine and antibiotic, I turned to alternative remedies. Recently I had been experiencing hives daily for three months. I had tried a number of remedies with no effect until I heard about transfer factors. After taking the transfer factors for only two days the hives went away and haven't returned. My sinuses and scratchy voice have cleared and I have received several other side benefits as well including a renewed energy level. Yes, I want the world to know about this incredible medical breakthrough!"

Bill Ormesher

16. "My 5 year old was always sick and we had tried everything. We started transfer factors and immediately noticed results! It has been a year and he is doing wonderful! He has only been sick 2 times where he needed a prescription, this is a miracle for us! Though he does still have developmental problems, he has made tremendous progress in learning and understanding. I know that if he was not taking transfer factors he would not be doing so well. This has really changed our lives! I have had terrible allergies all my life, I am allergic to many foods, plants and smells. But I have not had ANY reactions since I started on transfer factors. If I do feel like I am going to react to something, I just add a few more to my daily intake. So you can really see that without these products my life would be so much worse!"

Kristy Griewahn

17. "For years I was very allergic to orange juice. If I drank just a little my throat would itch and swell. If I tried to clean the closet I would sneeze like crazy. After being on transfer factors for several months, I can drink orange juice and I cleaned the closet the other day without sneezing.It is like a miracle."

Hanif Kahn

18. "I have had a serious allergy problem for several years. I got so sick I stayed in bed for days. I just didn't feel like doing anything. I felt drained, depressed, and irritable. I experienced one infection after another. It would start in my sinuses and spread to my ears and chest.I tried every nutrient that I would hear about. Among the many products I tried Goldenseal, Echinacea, Ambrotose, Biomune OSF, Ag-Immune, Life Enhancer, Immuncical, TriVita Complete, and a score of other popular nutrients. None of them made a difference. Finally, I tried transfer factors. Within two weeks I felt better and after a couple months I felt like a new person. I feel energized."

Mary Martin

19. "I am a registered nurse, 64 years old and respect what medications can do. However, prescriptions were not helping my severe allergies or my psoriasis. Allergic episodes usually resulted in a mega-infection of bronchitis or a sinus infection. My psoriasis did not respond to either of many medications. Both of these health problems are in the auto-immune category. I included 4 capsules of Choice 50 and 3 transfer factors in my daily supplements. I feel great now! Choice 50 and transfer factors are a dynamic combination that have truly improved the quality of life."

Doreen Lassiter

20. "I was diagnosed, after about a year's illness last April 1998, with a condition called polymyalgia rheumatica, which is an autoimmune disease. When they discovered there was a high sed (sedimentation) rate, they put me on high doses of Prednisone. When I went in for my blood test they had me return the next day for further blood tests and I knew something had to be wrong because all the nurses were scrambling when I came in, put me ahead of everybody and were talking about the different blood tests they were going to do. Then I found out about this polymyalgia rheumatica. Ed L. with whom I've been an associate for years, listened to the "Ask the Doctors" call, and came to tell me that maybe the transfer factors were the answer to my problem. We talked to Dr. Robertson and I received my first bottle of transfer factors. I took it faithfully every day as I was instructed throughout that summer and fall and winter, and I really didn't think it was doing much. I did get through my illness, in a few days I was able to go back to normal, but I ran out of transfer factors. Every month I have a sed rate test, so the first of February '99 when I had mine my sed rate was normal for the first time in over a year. It was probably the middle of February, toward the 20th, before I got more transfer factors, and I began to take it sparingly so that I wouldn't run out. The first of March when I had my sed rate test my doctor called me just a few hours later and said, "Something is terribly wrong, your sed rate is way high. Increase your Prednisone four times over and then see me tomorrow immediately." When I sat down to think about what was wrong, what had changed, and the only difference in anything I was doing was the transfer factors. When I went to his office the next day I explained the situation to him about how I had taken it all at once, didn't have any for awhile, and the effect on the sed rate, and he looked over the reports, looked at what I had written down and said, "You're right, it's the transfer factors evidently that's keeping your sed rate in check." He said, "With that in mind, do you have any now?' And I said, "Yes, I just got it in again." And he said, "Well then, as long as you can take it we'll reduce your Prednisone." Now all this time I really didn't think transfer factors were helping me. As I would listen to the conference calls and hear the wonderful testimonials I would hang up and cry because I was not experiencing any of these miracles. I did not know that I really was and didn't know it. Without the transfer factors I would have to take 4-5 times the amount of Prednisone that I am taking today just to keep my sed rate in check. So I think that I am experiencing one of the miracles of transfer factors, I just didn't understand how it was working in my body."

21. "My nine year old daughter had allergies and problems sleeping because of them. She basically spent most of the day sneezing, blowing her nose and complaining of the heavy head feeling, and flu-like symptoms also. She loves animals, and we have this bunny that we were going to have to get rid of because she just couldn't even be in the same room with him. It was that bad. My chiropractor recommended my daughter take transfer factors also. So we've been on it for several months and actually, very quickly she started saying, "You know, I don't feel the heavy feeling, I don't feel tired anymore." She's sleeping wonderfully. She doesn't sneeze. She hasn't any reaction to the bunny. It's absolutely fine to be in the same room with him (the bunny). As for me, I don't cough and sneeze and clear my throat constantly any more where I used to, nor do I have chronic post nasal drip, congestion and flu-like symptoms related to my allergies and problems sleeping. I was really impressed with this. However a couple of days ago, after being on it for quite some time, I ran out of it. My daughter stated she was not feeling well. I'm starting to get all those feelings back again. I called the chiropractor, I called my upline, I called several people and nobody had a spare bottle transfer factors. I was without it, I would say for a couple of days. And I just got progressively worse. I was very sluggish like I had the flu, my allergies, everything in full bloom again. So I ended up getting a hold of the bottle from a friend. I came home and I took three capsules and I gave one to my daughter. Within a half-hour, all my symptoms lifted. My nose cleared out. My head cleared. I didn't have the headaches anymore. Everything just disappeared within a half-hour."

22. "Casey is 30 years old. He's been asthmatic since birth. He's been using inhalers and this spring it was just really aggravating him and he had a lot of problems. He had a new job that he was working outside on a tractor, working on a vineyard in California. He went on the transfer factors and the Choice 50 also. He's doing very well for the first time in his life. We're just excited about what we've seen happen. I just thank you for the opportunity to share this and thank you for all your work with our company."

Judy C.

23. "I have a 9 year-old son who suffers with asthma and allergies and he's been on treatment for up to right at five years. About two months ago, he started having horrible asthma attacks, seemingly for no reason at all. He had a lot of problems with his allergies again, even though he was five years into the treatment and they are supposed to be working their way away. The pediatrician and the allergist really couldn't figure out how to stop this flare up in particular. They decided that maybe he had an infection so they put him on an antibiotic. They changed all his allergy treatment as well as his asthma medication. My child was on six drugs as well as shots, but he wasn't really getting any better. They didn't know what to do, so they changed his antibiotic a second time and did a series of x-rays. He looked like he felt horrible and I know he did. We were on day five of the second drug and he still felt rotten. A friend had been using transfer factors, and she told me about it. I started him out on three a day. After two days, I heard a difference in the coughing. It wasn't as deep and didn't sound as bark-like. It wasn't echoing as deep in his chest. He was still coughing some, but it definitely helped. This got me excited since nothing else had helped so far. I doubled it up, and I started giving him six a day. I did that for a full week. I've tried to bump it up a little more, working it up to nine a day. Also, for his allergies he gets the shots once a month. Normally at the beginning of the month he has this pinky circle under his eyes. By the time he's due for a shot, they're almost black. They have a real deep purplish color. Well unfortunately, we missed this month's shot so he's actually past due. On the transfer factors he's not having the allergy problems that he was. His eyes have remained exactly as they were in the beginning of the month, just barely blushed and pinky. So we're really excited. I love the product and it has made a huge difference. My child sounds human again. It's not embarrassing to him to be out around the public. All the pollutants and the smoke and the perfume aren't choking him up and making him feel horrible."

Joanie L.

24. "I just wanted to let folks know that when I first heard about the product I was quite intrigued. We're real believers in supplementation and taking responsibility for our own health, and we got the family on it, and what I first noticed in about nine days on the product my son, who has asthma, was doing much better. We didn't want to mess around so we got him back to the allergist. His lung function had gone up to the low normal range. I had him in for his 15 year-old checkup and in fact he is back in the high normal range. My daughter who was eight at the time with severe allergies, in three days all symptoms cleared up. And my wife, who has a history of sinus infections, during her last sinus infection back before Labor Day got on transfer factors and in 24 hours her symptoms has cleared up. When I saw that I realized that we were really sitting on top of a gold mine and really had a reason and a real desire to get out there and tell the story."

Kevin O'Conner

25. "I was diagnosed with asthma awhile back and experience a lot of shortness of breath, especially when bending over. I couldn't garden which is something I love to do because pulling weeds was just excruciating and I just could't get my breath. I have arthritis in my knees so I can't kneel down, so I have to bend over from the middle. After just a few days on the transfer factors I noticed I could breathe better, and had more energy. I can bend over without gasping for air, I haven't really needed to use my inhaler, and I can do my gardening again. I am also using the Fibro AMJ Daytime for my arthritis in my knees and that's helping."

Judy R.

26. "My daughter has asthma and my daughter's asthma is not like what you see on TV where they wheeze. Her asthma is where she coughs constantly at night gagging for breath, and once her asthma kicks in it takes me around 2-3 weeks to get rid of it. She had an asthma attack come on; she'd never used transfer factors, but she was breast fed so I wasn't afraid that she would have any problem with this product. Her asthma is much better. I also had one experience where I started to get a bladder infection, and prior to that I always, always, always had to go to the doctor for antibiotics. I immediately tried the transfer factors. My symptoms weren't noticeable. I just think the product is wonderful and anybody who has multiple sclerosis or asthma I strongly recommend they try the product, just try it, it's not going to hurt you, just try it. I'll tell you, I would spend twice as much for this product for the way that it makes me feel. My quality of life has improved a lot."

Wendy B.

27. "I have suffered for several years from rheumatoid arthritis, allergies, fatigue, chronic bronchitis, weakness in my muscles, and headaches. After being on transfer factors and enhanced transfer factors six months I have experienced a tremendous difference. My symptoms from allergies are barely noticeable, I haven't had a case of bronchitis for several months, I feel strength returning to my muscles, my rheumatoid arthritis pain is better and looks a bit better, and I am full of energy. I have taken noni, Ambrotose, Microhydrin, MGN-3, Ag-immune, Biomune, and the list goes on. None of these products made much of a difference. When I was approach by a company distributor I was very negative about it. They offered my first bottle free until I checked it out to see if it would work. WOW! I am now a believer there is nothing like transfer factors. Thanks."

George Cole

28. "My symptoms associated with Lupus, being sick constantly and feeling exhausted, have gone away. I feel energetic since using transfer factors."

Linda M.

29. "With terrible asthma since age 7, I began transfer factors 2-1/2 weeks ago and I’ve gone from 20 medications & inhalers to one pill and one inhaler."

Darlene J.

30. "I am taking transfer factors. I feel physically and mentally healthy for the first time since I was diagnosed with M.S. three years ago."

Wendy B.

31. "For years I have been bothered with a sinus problem. After about the first month of being on transfer factors, my sinuses are much better regardless of what kind of draft I've been in. I could never ride with the car window open even in the summertime because just the wind blowing on my head would give me a problem with my sinus. My wife has had trouble every year with her throat because of allergies. After we got into the company, I said, "Honey, I would like for you to try these transfer factors. "So I triple dosed her for about two days and within 48 hours her throat was much better "

Ed L.

32. "I have a small health food store and transfer factors have been the greatest product that I have come across in ten years. I've never had anything that's given me the constant feedback that transfer factors have for allergies, asthma, chronic sinus infections, colds and flues--just on and on. I'm just so grateful to have come upon this and I thank my upline."

Diana H.

33. "My 6-year-old son has had terrible eczema all his life, yet transfer factors, in just 2 months, have made significant improvements."

Anthony V.

34. "Transfer factor helped my allergies and my snoring."

Les W.

35. "My kids baby-sit and are exposed to runny noses, viruses, etc., yet don't get sick. This gets me excited about transfer factors and the opportunity. I have also seen results on ADD and allergy problems."
