Hi Joe,
The focus on the research in the 80's that lead to Biochoice was on antibodies. When ConAgra and Dupont decided to drop the program and sell it to a marketing group the focus shifted somewhat to co-factors. All of the research was on Antibodies.
4Life's focus is on transfer factors. Since 1949, when a scientist theorized that there were transfer factors in the blood, technology has progressively moved forward until now in this decade we can commercially make transfer factors available to the public.
An antibody can only recognize one antigen on a pathogen. It is a like a wanted poster looking for a specific characteristic on a germ. When an antibody recognizes a germ it attaches itself to it and signals an immune cell to come and destroy the pathogen. BioChoice contains antibodies for 26 difference pathogens.
Transfer factors have a broader effect on the overall immune system and body. You could compare an antibody to a thought and transfer factor to a brain. Transfer factors effect and regulate a great number of other immune system cells and chemicals. Recently, scientists in Russia found that transfer factors even regular all of the antioxidants in the human body.
BioChoice is from a whole egg. It may contain a few transfer factors. Legacy isn't a research company. It is only a marketing company. 4Life is a research company and a marketing company. 4Life utilizes transfer factors both from mammals (the human being is a mammal) and from chickens. Legacy only utilizes co-factors from chickens.
4life has the science and patents on transfer factors from eggs. We have the capability to identify, isolate and extract transfer factors from eggs. Since Legacy doesn't have the scientific ability or the patented rights to this technology, there cannot identify, isolate or extract these precious transfer factors.
In order to capture the full potential of transfer factors for a human being you must reach a certain threshold in volume. Research over the past three decades proves this to be true. Over 4life has this patented technology to do so.
In order to reach this threshold you must consume more than what is found in whole eggs. Think about the size of a baby chicken and how many co-factors would be found in an egg that was prepared for a small chick. Think about the size of a human being and how much more would be required to effect a human being.
Transfer factors are transferred from a cow to the calf through colostrum. Tf is passed transferred from a chicken to a chick through the egg. A mother transfers tf to her child through breast milk and placenta. Colostrum, breast milk and the egg are only carriers of transfer factors. There is no synergistic effect from the other components of the carriers. There is not benefit in leaving the transfer factors in a whole egg environment. The greatest effect is achieved through concentration of the valuable part of the egg, transfer factors.
