There are components in human milk that kill or inactivate parasites.  This 
patent application will use human milk gangliosides to kill or inactivate 
parasites.  This patent application is invented by Michale Thomas Clandinin.
One has to question any health care professional who suggests weaning from 
breastfeeding due to parasite infection.

"Formulation to treat or prevent parasitic infection"
Inventor:  Clandinin, Michael Thomas et al.
"0009] Decreased prevalence of giardiasis among infants fed breast milk 
containing high titers of anti-Giardia secretory IgA (sIgA) has been reported 
(Walterspiel et al., 1994). Studies showed that non-immune components of human milk 
such as conjugated bile salts (Gillin, 1987), unsaturated fatty acids (Rohrer 
et al., 1986) and free fatty acids (Reiner et al., 1986) may be involved in 
the elimination of the parasites. Although breast milk also contains a 
significant amount of gangliosides (Rueda et al., 1996), it has never been examined 
whether gangliosides may play a protective role in giardiasis."
