Harold, Although thymic protein A sounds good as a supplement on the face of it, near as I can tell it probably won't meet users' and marketers' expectations of being at all useful in oral form.
Thymic protein A is an enormous 500 amino acid chain. Compare it with crucially important HGH, at only 191 proteins, and glutathione, a crucially important enzyme only 3 proteins in size; neither absorb orally, sublingually, OR into the bloodstream via the intestine. Proteins are meant to be digested, not directly absorbed, and I think that's what happens. Research does not indicate that thymic protein A absorbs. Marketers mention Beardsley's research test tube work with cell lines, which does not apply. In the animal studies referenced the thymic protein was administered not orally but by injection. If researchers were injecting an *uncooked* foreign homone, of course that's OK in the animal studies but it will be a difficult sell to humans because it's easily contaminated by pleomorphic nanobacteria. I'd wait for the injectable GMO e. coli version, similar to insulin and HGH. Meanwhile we still have transfer factors, which are suitably purified, which are also natural, but unlike thymic protein A they are designed at the outset to be absorbed orally. I think Transfer Factor is the most powerful natural stimulant of the immune response because it works all three facets of immune response: 1) In one formula it increases natural killer NK T-cells by 437%; this unlearned response precipitates an immune cascade of learned responses. 2) it confers immunity to hundreds of pathogens the donor had gained immunity to (so far the donors are chickens and cows but not limited to those); 3) it contains an immunomdulator that will restore or maintain balance to an overactive immune system. And the work has been proven; in fact subsequent to extensive Russian studies the Health Department there made it an official medicine; the first natural product to receive that honour in the country. The often-overlooked glutathione, the body's main immune support and support for every cell, reduces infection of all types as levels rise. Yes, even the dreaded HIV. High glutathione levels are key to a correct reponse. John Britten brought up the point that the thymus shrinks with age and this brings about immune system decline. Thymus size and function are reduced as growth hormone HGH levels drop with age; conversely, thymus size and function are increased with a program that brings HGH back up to youthful levels for awhile. The research has been on my site for years. SomaLife gHP is a specific amino acid blend that is proven to max out HGH release to youthful values with each dose; one could also use HGH injections.
