Has anyone used the Lyme-specific transfer factor from Chisholm Biological Labs? Any thoughts?

I have used the Chisholm products back early on. It cost a small fortune though I did it only for about a month and it did just about nothing for me.\
As you probably remember, the matter was brought up at the recent Lyme seminar and you could probably tell how unexcited Dr. K. was about the offered idea by an attending doctor. If the transfer factor contains only a distant relative of the bug that hit you, it is just not effective. I would not spend another dime on these types of things. One would probably be just as well off drinking cows milk. Most of them are infected. No - not a good idea either. You might get more than you asked for.
Take care.

I bought it and tried it for a month too when I was really sick. It did nothing and is very expensive.

Took a month as well. No improvement from that.

Though overall it sounds like most of the feedback on Transfer Factor (here and otherwise) has been disappointing, I would argue that taking anything for a month such as this would not be long enough to really see if the product would work or not.

Scott, many Klinghardt patients didn't just take it for a month. There are some that can afford it a lot longer, there are some like me that do not see a hint of progress that quit. I think the overall experience Dr. K. expressed at the recent seminar says it clearly --- we are dealing with mutating bugs with a DNA a mile long!!!!! He has been looking at the bugs for a very long time.
Anybody that can afford it, do it.
I myself was never very keen on the subject because I do not want to have a "factor" "transferred" into me whose real makeup I really do not know. One tickbite from a horsefly and a few mosquitos was enough for me - to almost literally have killed me and my husband. I do not trust these petri-dish breeders at all ---
Take care.
