<<Disclaimer: Verify this information before applying it to your situation.>> Hi All, I've seen things before that celiacs shouldn't really take Echinacea, but I'm wondering if I've really blown it by taking something called Transfer Factor. It is an Immune System Booster many times stronger than Echinacea, that is made from isolating things out of bovine colustrum, I guess. I have such an awful time with upper respitory infections, and was taking this through the Winter. I've basically not been sick since I started on it, but have started on a course which seems like there is at least a possibility that I'm entering early menopause at 30! I looked that up and the first thing that was listed as a cause for that is an auto-immune disease. My fear is that through strengthening my immune system I could bring on something like this, but I HOPE it's just an idle fear! Do any of you take Transfer Factor or its equivalent? Would this fall into the same catagory as Echinacea? (Or worse?) Many thanks for any ideas! Timia ________________________________________________________________ GET INTERNET ACCESS FROM JUNO!
