carol,  I have posted the web site for the patents previously but I will do
so again but here is another web site from John Hopkins that you may view a
shortened version of the anti-diarrheic product and method of treating
rotavirus-associated infection.
http://www.med.jhu.edu/otl/9530.html

To see more information about the patent itself you may go to the US Patent &
Trademark Office http://www.uspto.gov/patft/index.html   There are blue
buttons, click on the one that says number and type either 5,505, 955 or
5,667,797

These are long documents but they are worth reading all the way through
because you may come to the realization that some scientists know alot about
breast milk.  At the patent office you can also view the patents for the "new
oils" DHA and AA and read about how they are extracted from crude oil..every
mother ought to read this one.

I can't remember if one or both of the patents previously mentioned were made
with partial funding from the NIH and the US government may have rights to
this invention.
Rather interesting that we "discourage" women from breastfeeding if diagnosed
hiv-positive but are marketing a product that is genetically engineered
breast milk.  Oh yeah how could I forget that the real breastmilk transmits
hiv, doesn't it?  The government scientists told us so.   Valerie W. McClain,
