Transfer Factor and the Natural Killer Cells
Transfer Factor and the Natural Killer Cells
Natural Killer cells, or NK cells, are important immune cells
that provide a crucial first defense against infectious agents and diseased
cells. Once
activated, NK cells react in two ways. First, they promptly secrete chemical
messenger proteins that modulate emerging immune cell responses. Second, they
become potent killers of infected cells. Without Natural Kill cells,
threatening conditions can get a strong foothold before additional immune
responses are able to kick in.
What we now
know in the 21st century about our complex immune system is changing
the way we perceive and treat disease. Especially what we are now beginning to
understand about how very important our Natural Killer Cells (NK) are
in keeping us alive and well.
What we’ve
learned has already had a profound effect on the health and wellness of many of
the patients in clinical practices around the globe. We previously know that
Natural Killer Cells normally kill virus or bacteria independently. What we
didn’t realize is that these cells are often inactive and not
functioning
as necessary or in the manner needed to maintain optimum health.
Physicians can
now measure patients Natural Killer Cell Activity Function as well as the
Natural Killer Cell Count.
Most of us have enough Natural Killer Cells (i.e. our counts are typically
normal); however, many of us do not have enough Natural Killers that are active.
These inactive NK cells are present in great numbers in our blood, lymph nodes,
organs and tissue, but they are not killing foreign invaders such as infectious
organism and malignant cells that constantly affect all of us.
Fortunately we can
take a safe, highly effective *natural supplement that has been proven to
consistently and dramatically increase the activity of many of our own Natural
Killer Cells.
Almost all
cancer patients have very low levels of Natural Killer (NK) Cell Activity:
usually 0 to 20. Many patients with chronic diseases including fibromyalgia and
chronic fatigue syndrome, as well as a wide variety of autoimmune disorders
including rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, multiple sclerosis and others, also have
low levels in the 10 to 30 ranges.
Most patients
with chronic and/or recurrent infections (such as staph, sinusitis, bronchitis,
tonsillitis, pneumonia and ear infections, etc.) have low levels in the 10 to 50
ranges. Many patients with symptomatic EBV, CMV, HPV and other chronic viral
infections are in the 0 to 20 ranges.
Some healthy
patients have been in the 150 to 250 ranges, but most others fall in the 50 to
150 range. Some supposedly “healthy” patients have had a very low NK Cell
activity between 0 to 10. It is now known that low NK Cell activity is
significant independent risk factor for the future development of cancer as well
as other chronic diseases and illnesses.
It is also
known that low NK Cell activity is a strong predictor or poor prognosis of
survival of cancer patients. But it is also known that the higher the NK Cell
activity in patients with cancer, the better their prognosis is for survival.
In addition, it
is known that there is a direct age related decrease in NK Cell activity from 20
to 80 years of age, which may partially explain why the risk of cancer increases
with each decade of life.
People of all
ages desire to prevent acute and chronic diseases. It would be good for all of
us and for our families to do everything possible to elevate and reactivate our
Natural Killer Cells.
