TF5 Immune Trainers

The Four Rs

RECOGNIZE
As immune cells encounter other organisms, they must determine, “is this
organism a friend or foe?” Our immune cells must also learn to ignore pollens
and pet dander; otherwise we end up with seasonal allergies. Finally, they
need to recognize our own healthy cells and not attack them (autoimmunity).

REACT
If the organism is a foe, the immune system must eliminate the threat quickly and effectively.

REMEMBER
If the same threat returns, a healthy immune system should quickly recognize
and eliminate it, using its learning from the last time that threat was encountered.

REST
Once the danger passes, immune cells need to return to a relaxed state. If
they don’t, inflammation, soreness, and autoimmune reactions may occur as
the immune system remains in a false state of “high alert”.

Unnecessary immune tension wastes a tremendous amount of energy that could otherwise be used for living your best life. When our system is doing these 4 things well, we feel great. If any of these is weak, we may suffer. It is important to note that transfer factor alone does not provide the balanced help your immune system requires for full health, wellness, and vitality. Only when transfer factor is optimally formulated with additional nutrients can a supplement support all 4 Rs. In particular, to properly Recognize (helping your immune system to be more alert) and Rest (helping your immune system to know when to relax) functions best with a full-spectrum transfer factor formulation.
