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. |
