recombinant human beta.-casein, etc... including recombinant DHA. This
is US
government sponsored and funded research. The US government also has an
"interest" in many of those patents. But in order to make some of these
duplicates the technology requires the use of a vector to get into the
nucleus of the cell. These vectors are various viruses, plasmids, or

genetic elements. In animals the most common vector used are

I am thankful to Valerie for following this thread, as it is technically
(and emotionally) beyond me. Perhaps Valerie is like Rachel Carson, the
author who wrote "Silent Spring", one of the first books alerting us
about environmental toxins and the ecosystem.
At one time, much of what Valerie reports to us would have been very hard
for me to open my mind to.
However, the other night, I caught a PBS show on mesothelioma, the
asbestos linked cancer from which my husband died several years ago.
British researchers have found that that type of tumor, while still
linked to asbestos, is also yielding traces of Simian virus, as are other
tumors, such as childhood brain tumors.
They have traced this to the fact that to protect themselves from the
polio epidemic in the 50's and 60's, so many humans received injections
of the Polio vaccine that was developed using Rhesus monkeys.
The supposition extends to the possibility that parents who received
injections from infected batches may even be passing them on inside the
cells of their genetic material to their offspring, and so on down the
generations.
Reminds one of the myth of Pandora's box. Or is it a myth? Or perhaps an
archetypal truth?
