Aloha,

I saw the PBS program as well.  I missed the beginning, so I don't know
what was said in regards to mothers passing immunity on to their
children.

My oldest brother contracted polio as a toddler.  He was paralyzed for a
short time.  Thank goodness, he did not suffer as other children did.  He
regained his ability to walk.  The only reminder of his ordeal is a
slight limp when he is tired.

Btw, my  brother was the only one my mother  breastfed---for about two
months---so maybe this is what helped him.

Aloha,
Gloria Thai   Honolulu, Hawai'i on the island of O'ahu about 20 degrees
North of the Equator
