I am one of the Swedes Rachel refers to that has sent SPC-flakes to  
Kristiansand, Norway.
The body component that the SPC-flakes increases the production of,  
AF, means anti-secretoric factor or something like that (I'll have to  
get a Swedish English dictionary for medical words). SPC-flakes have  
even more advantages. The father of my sister-in-law has Menière's  
disease and my sister-in-law says he has improved lots since he  
started with SPC-flakes. They help him getting rid of dizziness and  
being able to  live a normal life! Lars Hanson has conducted a study  
in Pakistan, where children with diarrhoea were given egg yolk from  
hens that had eaten SPC-flakes and contained of AF. The children,  
both with acute diarrhoea and prolonged diarrhoea, recovered. So SPC- 
flakes seems to be a real gold mine!

The only disadvantage is that the SPC-flakes are expensive. A 450 gr  
package of SPC-flakes is a little over SEK 100, approximately US$ 14.  
Add about the same price for stamps outside of Europe, the package I  
sent to Rachel cost SEK 70, US $ 10, for stamps. But if you are in  
desperate need and someone is willing to pay, of course I could send  
SPC flakes around the world. Swedish midwife Kristin Svensson, who  
was also involved in the study of SPC flakes effect on mastitis in  
man, says you'll have to eat one whole package to get effect. Kristin  
Svensson has also noted that SPC flakes have increased the milk  
supply, though there is no study on that. You have it like muesli on  
yoghurt or cook it to poorige. 1 gr per kilogramme body weight, =  
approx. 100 ml twice a day. I have tasted them and , well for the  
taste, I prefer regular oats. They taste a little stale.
