Transfer Factor
I’m a sucker for a good sales pitch. So when the bloke who sells me Herbalife vitamins turned up with another guy who was peddling Transfer Factor I of course went for it. Yes, he left a computer disk with a video presentation on it and I dutifully watched it. But I was already sold. Transfer Factor seems to be anything you want it to be: if your immune system needs a boost, this is for you. If your immune system needs dampening down, this is for you. There are lots of websites one is http://www.all-natural.com/autoimmune.html. And I think it does some good. But that could be the ginseng I now take, or the B12. Or the vitamin D. Or it could be just my imagination.
But I just stopped. Why? Why not. I couldn't perceive any benefit (sure, I should have stuck with it, you'll say). Especially compared with the Mannatech stuff I'd started taking. So, it's just something else to take up cupboard space now.
