The Immune System Bank™ facilities consist of secure locations for the frozen storage of the white blood cells from whole blood. The white cells form the basis of an individual’s immune system. Sampling immune cells from a patient, enhancing them, and then returning them to the patient is called Adoptive Immunotherapy or Biological Therapy. These terms are also used to describe therapies that naturally assist your immune system to fight disease.

Many diseases result from the loss of active immune cells in the blood. Replacing those cells through the process of Biological Therapy has proven to be effective and has been used to treat a wide variety of cancers including lung, skin, prostate, brain, kidney, liver and pancreas, as well as leukaemias and chronic viral infections such as HIV/AIDS. It is also effective in bolstering an ageing immune system and in rebuilding an immune system after damage caused by radiotherapy, chemotherapy, accidental exposure to radioactivity and any other catastrophic immune system deletion or destruction.

Before the advent of Lifeforce®, the immune system cells in Biological Therapy had been collected from patients only after they had fallen ill, and were therefore of inferior quality, i.e. diseased and only partially, if at all, effective. Lifeforce® preserves a sample of an individual''s white blood cells before they fall ill, at a time when their immune system is pristine, more complete, and uncontaminated by disease. Lifeforce®, when requested, then supplies the cells back to the patient’s physician for reinfusion.
