Simply stated, transfer factors are tiny molecules that are able to convey immunity information from one entity to another to educate naïve cells about a present or potential danger along with a plan for action. Although the mostly notable function of these smart molecules is to speed up the recognition phase of an infection making the duration of an illness much shorter, transfer factors also have the ability to suppress an over active immune system. All said, transfer factors have the ability to balance out the function of your immune system, whether it needs to increase in function or be reduced in the case of auto-immune disorders.

Example of immunodeficiency (underactive)include a group of diverse conditions caused by one or more immune system defects and characterized clinically by increased susceptibility to infections with consequent severe, acute, recurrent, or chronic disease: pneumonia, thrush, diarrhea, AIDS/HIV, infections, cancer, SARS, chronic granulomatous disease, etc.

Examples of autoimmune disorders (overactive) include: Hashimoto's thyroiditis, pernicious anemia, Addison's disease, diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis, systemic lupus erythematosus, dermatomyositis, Sjogren's syndrome, dermatomyositis, lupus erythematosus, multiple sclerosis, myasthenia gravis, Reiter's syndrome, Graves disease, Psoriasis, Eczema, Cushing's, fibromyalgia, Scleroderma, etc.
