I'm so glad that Angel is doing well Lena. Thank you so much for posting.
She is such a lucky girl to have you, and you her. I hope that she recovers quickly.
I have no personal experience with Transfer Factor. I've only read about it.
I just wonder if it derived from dogs, which would make sense to me. Wheras the bovine type colostrum would worry me, as it's another species immune cells. I did learn something extremely interesting recently, that canine colostrum can be made (for the sake of newborn pups who can't get thier mom's colostrum ( for one reason or another). I learned this at a Dr. Ronald Schultz seminar. He said it could be made with canine milk or formula and adult canine blood (1:1 ratio) [:-]. Yuck, sorry to get off subject but I found it facinating but so simple it made perfect sense. Not that I'm suggesting it.
Perhaps for Angel just a diet rich in fresh foods, little stress and lots of love will be all that she needs to heal well. Do you know which species this product is derived from?
Edited to add: I went to the Tranfer factor site and it is derived from cow's colostrum.
I'm not sure if I have a valid concern with the whole species thing and an immune cell (in this case T-cell) coming from it, but I just have to wonder if it's appropriate to mix immune system cells among species. I don't know much about it though.
