Transfer Factor and the Importance of a Healthy Immune System
Biologist Aaron White, PhD, became fascinated with supplemental transfer factor(s)- a signaling mechanism used by the immune system to alert white blood cells to potential threats in the body - when he began doing research to "understand what was happening to a friend with Chronic Fatigue Immune Dysfunction Syndrome (CFIDS)." Now he has created a website and written a highly-rated book to help people - and their doctors - learn about the immune system benefits of transfer factors and the science behind them. |

Abstract: Influence of melatonin on fatigue severity in patients with chronic fatigue syndrome and late melatonin secretion
The effect of melatonin, a chronobiotic drug, was explored in 29 patients with chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) and Dim Light Melatonin onset (DLMO) later than 21.30 hours, reflective of delayed circadian rhythmicity. |

Make it a Great New Year with Tea: Help for Managing Weight, Boosting the Immune System, and Promoting Heart Health
Tea, which studies suggest may be associated with decreased
risk of heart disease and cancer, may also help in the battle against the bulge. A study published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition suggests that substances in tea may promote weight loss by increasing the amount of energy spent by the body. |

Abstract: Increase of free Mg2+ in the skeletal muscle of chronic fatigue syndrome patients
In a previous study, we evaluated muscle blood flow and muscle metabolism in patients diagnosed with chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS). To better understand muscle metabolism in CFS, we re-evaluated our data to calculate free Magnesium levels in skeletal muscle. Magnesium is an essential cofactor in a number of cell processes. |
