Valerie,
Just want you to know that there are many of us out here who really value
your posts and get a lot out of them.  I am truely glad that you are being
our patent "watch dog", as it isn't something I have time to do.  I
appreciate your keeping us up-to-date and I do think that patents on the
components of breastfeeding are directly related to what we do.  If you ever
see a way that we can speak out as a group to stop some of this let us know.
We can all write letters, but to whom do we write?  I really think they
would fall on deaf ears and that the profit margin is always the most
important thing for the pharmaceutical companies.  Keep up your good work!
