Those new products you see about cow colostrum are genetically engineered
human lactoferrin.  That is why they are supposedly seeing wonderful results.
 These companies all have links to the dairy industries that are pharming
(not farming) meaning they are using genetic engineering techniques.  And yes
the formula companies are all in on it, too.  Again, there are at least 50
patents for the genetic engineering of human milk. Not all of these patents
are for infant formula, some are for drugs, blood products and various cancer
detection tests!  There is the largest herd of transgenic cattle in the world
in Wisconsin (DeForest). This company has a strategic alliance with Pharming
in the Netherlands (which has connections to Numico)..its a small world
