"We recently had an experience with a
30-year-old horse who had a leg swollen from infection. I applied Transfer
Factor™ directly to the leg and within 6 days the swelling was totally
gone. I checked his lymphocyte level and he had a 27% increase since the use
of Transfer Factor™. THAT’S JUST PHENOMENAL!" — Joe
Raemakers, DVM
The following testimonies are from Molly Metz, DVM,
Lexington, Kentucky:
- A 3-yr-old
warmblood with history of chronic cough and nasal discharge was
unresponsive to antibiotics. Within two weeks of being on Transfer
Factor, both the nasal discharge and cough
went away. This colt is being maintained on a maintenance dose of TF
Performance and Show.
- A 19-yr-old late
gestation mare had stringhalt, ataxia, and moderate ear droop. I began
the mare on TF Performance and Show to improve its immune function prior
to foaling. After 30 days of being on the TF Performance and Show, this
mare had no evidence of stringhalt or ataxia, and only a mild ear droop.
This is the first time in her life she was able to pull her ear forward
in a normal position. She also is cushionoid and suffered miserably in
last summer's heat, being unable to sweat. This spring, when
temperatures reached 80 degrees, she was sweating in the field.
- I had a 2-year-old
thoroughbred filly with a history of multiple bone pain and suspected
neurological condition. This filly was diagnosed with physitis in
multiple bones (via bone scan) and as a wobbler on radiographs. I placed
her on the 4Life animal products to see if she could be improved enough
to go into training. The farm has begun breaking her and her movement
has improved by approximately 80%. I am waiting to hear if the farm
feels she's good enough to go to the track.
- There was a 14-year-old
quarter horse with a long history of depression and high eosinophil
count. I used TF
Performance and Show on this horse on the presumption that he
suffered from some kind of allergy or possible cancer. This horse
responded tremendously with his attitude. (i.e., much more energy and
enthusiasm) but his blood work has remained unchanged.
The following are
testimonies from Lisa Hampton, Trainer, in Montana:
- A 9-yr- old
Friesian gelding developed severe dermatitis in January 2001. The
gelding went from being a beautiful black horse with full mane and tail
to having huge bald spots all over his body. He lost his entire mane and
most of his tail. Our vet, Mike Marrinan, visited twice weekly to do
Betadine scrubs and he put Prince on antibiotics. Dr. Marrinan took
biopsies and sent them to two universities. He spoke with numerous
specialists, but none could tell us what was wrong. Our last resort was
to put him on steroids. His lesions gradually cleared and his hair
started to grow back. By the summer of 2001 we were again riding Prince;
however, it became evident that the steroids were negatively affecting
him. He was not holding his weight and became spooky and unpredictable.
- In the fall of
2001 Dr. Marrinan decided to gradually take him off steroids. Two weeks
after he concluded steroid use, a fresh lesion appeared on his face. His
immune system was severely compromised, White blood count was 3000
(normal is 15,000). He developed a chronic eye infection and then really
got sick. His fever spiked, he became depressed, and stopped eating and
drinking. Dr. Marrinan tried Sulfa drugs and IV's for three days. He put
him on Naxel; nothing worked. Prince had given up; we were sure he was
dying. I came across an article in The Horse regarding the immune
system. It spoke of a product called Transfer Factor. Upon finding an ad
for the product I called Dr. Marrinan and asked him about it. He said,
"try it, nothing else is working." I got a two week allotment
of TF Animal Stress Pack.
We didn't want to commit to more; we had already spent thousands of
dollars on Prince. There comes a time when you have to be realistic and
say enough is enough. After ten days on the TF Animal Stress Pack,
brightness came back into Prince's eyes which we hadn't seen in months.
His appetite increased and he was drinking water again. I called my
friend and ordered a bucket of TF
Performance and Show. I was also sent a free TF Animal Stress Pack
because it was felt that Prince needed to continue on it. We put Prince
on half the recommended dose of TF Performance and Show and half a dose
of TF Animal Stress Pack. After two weeks his coat started getting
glossy again and his appetite returned. Two and a half months later he
is fully recovered! He is playing in the field again; his mane and tail
are growing back; his dermatitis is gone; and his eyes are bright and
clear! It is so awesome to see Prince running across the field kicking
up his heels with his pasture pals! I want to personally thank 4Life
Research. I truly believe that Transfer Factor has saved Prince's life.
- I had a 9-yr-old
quarter horse mare named Annie. She started colicking on a Sunday and
was suffering from a severe compaction. It became obvious by the second
day that we were not dealing with a normal colic. She was showing some
neurological signs and her temperature would bounce from 96 to 102. Our
vet, Mike Marrinan, came out every day to tube her with mineral oil and
give her IVs. Her blood test showed her liver and kidney functions were
off, as was her blood count. On day three her gums were bright fuschia,
her pulse was 78 and her capillary refill time was 4 seconds; we thought
we were going to lose her. Day four she started passing stools. Day five
she got severe diarrhea. The diarrhea and depression lasted for five
days. She lost about 200 pounds and her coat turned coarse and dull. She
had patches of skin that were sloughing and her extremities were
swelling, including her face. All of these were signs that she was
fighting something toxic. I started her on TF
Performance and Show and ordered TF
Animal Stress Pack. After four days of being on that she started
eating aggressively, jigged to the pasture, and her eyes were bright and
clear. She has put most of her weight back on. Annie was 30 days
pregnant when she colicked, you can't imagine our joy when we did a
65-day ultrasound and saw her fetus doing back flips. We continue to
feed Annie TF Performance and Show throughout her pregnancy. I am
convinced that Transfer Factor is helping her body fight and the
probiotics are aiding in the digestion and healing her gut.
- I had a six-week
old quarter horse foal. Monday morning I entered the stall and the foal
was lying down looking depressed. The mare has a swollen udder;
obviously the foal was not eating. The foal's temperature was 102.5.
Whenever a foal gets sick it makes you feel so helpless, as they can
dehydrate quickly and really go downhill fast. I immediately made a
paste with 1/4 scoop of TF Performance and Show, sulfa tabs, and
electrolytes. I gave the paste to the foal both morning and night, and
milked out the mare to keep her comfortable. On day two, the foal
had severe diarrhea and was still not eating, and was still depressed. I
continued giving the TF
Performance and Show and antibiotics. Day four I had to chase the
little guy down to paste him. His temperature was 99 and he was nursing
again; he had no diarrhea. On day five you would have never known the
foal had been sick. He was running and playing and, remarkably, had lost
no weight. I continued to paste him for seven days. I have never had a
foal recover this quickly from fever and diarrhea...and no vet bills.
Steven Slagle, DVM: "Transfer
factors and enhanced transfer factors have turned out to be the most
effective and versatile products I have ever used in my 32-year veterinary
practice. Here are a few examples:
- A foal with joint ill had been lame
for 3 days with an extremely swollen hock and a 104.5 temperature. I
recommended that this foal be hospitalized due to the severity of
infection, but the client could not afford such care. I then
recommended penicillin injections daily and transfer factors, 3 caps 3
times daily. The foal received only 2 injections of penicillin, but a
full course of transfer factors. 48 hours later, my client reported a
remarkably quick recovery with normal temperature and appetite with no
apparent lameness.
- Victor, a 10-year-old gelding, with EPM
was treated with conventional drug therapy for 5 weeks and yet continued
to deteriorate. At week 6, I started him on enhanced transfer factors (6
caps/day). Within one week, he showed noticeable improvement, and within
30 days, he was able to show. Since his full recovery 4 months ago,
Victor has continued to show at his original performance level.
I have used these products as stand-alone and
in conjunction with allopathic therapies in the following cases with
excellent results: (Note all cancer cases were given enhanced transfer
factors only) CANCER: Canine lipomas, Canine/feline hepatic tumors, Equine
squamous cell carcinoma, Equine melanomas; Feline leukemia, oral tumors.
VIRAL/BACTERIAL: Upper and lower respiratory infections, Canine/feline
dermatoses, Equine/bovine scours, Equine septic arthritis, Feline abscesses.
PARASITIC/FUNGAL/AUTOIMMUNE: E.P.M., Feline and equine fungal dermatitis,
and Feline autoimmune gingivitis." Steven Slagle, DVM
