India Issues First Patents to USA Inventor: Suzanne Jaffe Stillman Awarded Two Patents for FiberWater and Infusion Pods From India Patent Office.

LOS ANGELES -- India has further opened its recognition of the commercial interests of other countries by issuing two patents to an American inventor, Suzanne Jaffe Stillman, the creator of "Stillman's Fiber Water," for intellectual properties in the healthy beverage category.

Her patented FiberWater invention provides a proprietary combination of at least seven different soluble fibers in water without changing the look, or the taste of sparkling or pure fresh water.

The International community of scientists and physicians have long recognized that water is necessary to life, and fiber, the 6th most important nutrient, is necessary for healthy living. Even the U.S. Government, in its effort to encourage Americans to consume more fiber, has established the website, www.nationalfibercouncil.org.

As a greater indication of the global interest in the importance of healthy drinking water, the India-based conglomerate Tata International has demonstrated its "hands across the water" future planning going to the West, by purchasing a 30% share of the US company, Energy Brands for US$ 667 million. According to American inventor Suzanne Jaffe Stillman, "This is further evidence that the common bond between East and West is its concern for providing healthy products to all people."

PepsiCo's new CEO, Indra Nooyi, also supports her company's current strategy that focuses on healthy beverages domestically and in major emerging domestically and in major emerging markets such as India, China and Eurasia (Russia) where Ms. Stillman's patents are also issued.

Ms. Stillman, a long-time resident of Beverly Hills and Los Angeles, in the United States, has now received her 14th issued patent, while her intellectual property portfolio covers forty (40) countries on all five (5) continents.

A University of Southern California graduate, she first began her life of scientific creativeness in 1970, when her son Jason was diagnosed with a rare genetic liver disorder, Glycogen Storage Disease (GSD), a devastating disease that interferes with the body's normal process of metabolizing carbohydrates.

Since her son required a different method of receiving food, despite much dissident opinions, she invented the state-of-the-art tube to be inserted into the stomach, with a one-way valve, for which she was awarded two patents from the U.S. Patent office. In order to provide the best liquid nutrition for his feedings, Suzanne created Nutraceutical liquids for feeding tubes in the kitchen at Boston Children's Hospital in Massachusetts, USA. Her son, now 36, is testament to her persistence and inventiveness.

The Pulitzer Prize winning journalist for the Wall Street Journal, Bombay-born Geeta Anand, has recently authored a book, "The Cure," (Harper Collins) dealing with a similar subject that is being made into a movie in Hollywood, starring Harrison Ford.

Ms. Stillman considers herself a "delivery systems inventor" which, through her systems, will enable everyone to have a healthier life. It is her goal to have a portion of the profits, from the use of her patents and the sale of her products be used to help those children and families, for whom life has dealt an unfair hand.
