Breastmilk for adults
In 2002, 15 adults received donor milk...
"HUMAN MILK MAY BE A LIFESAVING THERAPY..." "Donor milk has been used to successfully treat a number of medical conditions in infants. This article highlights 3 such success stories describing the use of human milk in cases of velocardiofacial syndrome, very-low-birth weight, and failure to thrive. In 2002, more than 300 infants and young children ***and 15 adults*** received donor milk from 6 milk banks in the United States and I milk bank in Canada. Donor milk is often used to ensure optimal outcomes in full term or preterm infants until their own mother's milk volume is sufficient to meet their needs. However, human milk may be a lifesaving therapy for infants and young children with unusual medical conditions." --Tully et al.^^^ J Hum Lact. 2004 Feb;20(1):75-7. PubMed abstract (***emphasis added***) ^^^Tully MR, Lockhart-Borman L, Updegrove K. Lactation Services, University of North Carolina Healthcare, Chapel Hill, USA. "...Milk bank[ing] mandates pasteurization and freezing of the donors' milk. Most of the nutritional and immunological advantages of human milk are preserved ..." Riskin and Bader^^^. Harefuah. 2003 Mar;142(3):217-22, 237, 236. PubMed abstract ^^^Riskin A, Bader D. Department of Neonatology, Bnai Zion Medical Center, Haifa, Israel. Breastfeeding IS immunization. (See LITTLE KNOWN FACT below.) Vaccination is NOT immunization. Vaccination is ATTEMPTED immunization, i.e., some vaccinated children are NOT IMMUNIZED by their vaccinations. LITTLE KNOWN FACT: Breastfeeding women scan their environments for pathogens and manufacture IMMUNIZATIONS which they "inject" with their breasts daily. WHY aren't MDs telling the world that breastfeeding women are IMMUNIZERS - esp. since breastfeeding reportedly makes MD-needle-vaccinations work better?! Why are ostensibly "pro-immunization" MDs missing this GOLDEN opportunity to make the immunization rate *and* the vaccination rate skyrocket!? Ask yourselves... What woman is going to fail to at least ATTEMPT to breastfeed after being explicitly informed that she can immunize her baby daily and that her breastfeedings possibly make MD-needle vaccinations work better? The relatively few women who can't or won't breastfeed should consider breastmilk from breastmilk banks before going to formula; and breastfeeding women who aren't already pumping should consider pumping and donating any amount of this precious fluid that they don't use. If we make the immunization (breastfeeding) rate and the vaccination rate skyrocket, there will be PLENTY of milk banked for the few women who have difficulty breastfeeding... AND there will be more breastmilk to help adults... Thanks for reading, everyone. Sincerely, Todd Dr. Gastaldo PS Pass the word... Key IMMUNIZATION controversy is being SQUELCHED because parents aren't being told that massive numbers of immunizations are being DENIED simply because relevant cultural authorities (MDs) aren't telling the world that women are natural IMMUNIZERS. VACCINATION controversy is also being squelched: State laws must be changed: MDs are endangering *vaccinated* children - by pretending that vaccination equals immunization and by failing to report serious adverse events following vaccination...

Breastmilk for adults
Pregnant women: For simple instructions on how to offer your baby an
"extra" up to 30% of pelvic outlet area at delivery, see the very end of this post. I wrote: In 2002, 15 adults received donor milk... See Breastmilk for adults http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group...t/message/2521 "Mxsmanic" replied: That's not many out of over 300 million people. True. But how many of those 300 million people have heard that breastmilk contains IMMUNIZATIONS? Breastmilk is quite high in lactose, as I recall, and most adults are at least slightly lactose-intolerant, so drinking significant quantities of human milk may produce tummy upsets. True. But lactose-intolerant persons could be informed of the risks - and they may not *need* "significant quantities" to produce a therapeutic effect - whatever that therapeutic effect might be. It's not clear from your post exactly what the benefit of breastmilk would be for adults... I had assumed that the immunizations and other immune factors in breastmilk would work as well in adults as in babies. I wonder if human milk works on adult eye infections? "[T]opical application of breast milk as a prophylactic measure in neonatal conjunctivitis is recommended." --Pishva et al. Irn J Med Sci 1998; 23(1&2):55 Is human milk "lifesaving"? The abstract I used said human milk may be a lifesaving therapy for "young children," as in, "Donor milk has been used to successfully treat a number of medical conditions in infants. This article highlights 3 such success stories describing the use of human milk in cases of velocardiofacial syndrome, very-low-birth weight, and failure to thrive.

PubMed abstract (***emphasis added***) ^^^Tully MR, Lockhart-Borman L, Updegrove K. Lactation Services, University of North Carolina Healthcare, Chapel Hill, USA. Apparently, the doctor(s) who treated 15 adults with breastmilk thought it might have a beneficial effect. I wonder if it did have a beneficial effect on adults... I will copy Tully, Lockhart-Borman and Updegrove and see if they know... Copied to: Mary Rose Tully, MPH, IBCLC at: It's not clear from your post exactly what the benefit of breastmilk would be for adults over cow's milk, and... Cow's milk is EXCELLENT for baby cows - but adult cows normally don't drink it. Similarly with humans - so maybe adult humans shouldn't drink human milk? BTW, I have seen controversy over whether humans - babies or adults - should be drinking cow's milk. Enough humans are doing it that it must be OK - even beneficial - right? Something tells me though that humans should not be drinking **so much** cow's milk. I do like my cafe mochas though! : ) (Maybe I just like the sugar and chocolate - chocolate always made cow's milk taste better for me - I never really liked cow's milk by itself.) breastmilk is in very short supply and is not tightly controlled for quality and consistency. Excellent point if true... Again quoting Riskin and Bader [2003] from my post: "...Milk bank[ing] mandates pasteurization and freezing of the donors' milk. Most of the nutritional and immunological advantages of human milk are preserved ..." Riskin and Bader^^^. Harefuah. 2003 Mar;142(3):217-22, 237, 236. PubMed abstract ^^^Riskin A, Bader D.

Riskin and Bader's very next sentence was: "Cytomegalovirus (CMV) infections in preterm infants, that were acquired from mother's expressed breast milk, are not uncommon, and require further attention." I should have included Riskin and Bader's cytomegalovirus comment. Sorry. Interesting quote from Poggensee et al. [2004]: "Current infant feeding guidelines of UNICEF/UNAIDS/WHO for HIV-infected women recommend the avoidance of breastfeeding or to breastfeed exclusively."

Cow's milk allergy - was Breastmilk for adults
Pregnant women: For simple instructions on how to offer your baby an

In reply to: Breastmilk for adults http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group...t/message/2522 "Mxsmanic" wrote in message ... Todd Gastaldo writes: True. But how many of those 300 million people have heard that breastmilk contains IMMUNIZATIONS? Breastmilk does not contain immunizations; it contains antibodies, IIRC, which are not the same thing. MDs have hijacked the word "immunization" - fraudulently equating it with "vaccination." Vaccination is NOT immunization. Vaccination is ATTEMPTED immunization. The medical equation of vaccination and immunization lies at the heart of medicine's fraudulent vaccination promotion which endangers vaccinated children.

Something tells me though that humans should not be drinking **so much** cow's milk. I do like my cafe mochas though! : ) I've been drinking cow's milk all my life, and I haven't seen any harm from it. I finally stopped drinking glasses of milk with meals. It might be my imagination - but I think I am feeling better - but then again - I do drink a cafe mocha now and then - and I suppose I get cow's milk in other things I eat - so it prob. is my imagination. As for harm from drinking cow's milk, two interesting quotes from PubMed: #1 "Cow's milk allergy is the most common type of food allergy in infants. Most infants develop symptoms one week after initiating the feeding of cow's milk based formulas though sensitisation in utero and via mother's milk are also possible..." --Thaller et al.^^ Klin Padiatr. 2004 Mar-Apr;216(2):87-90.

Alcohol during pregnancy?
FETAL ALCOHOL SYNDROME
TPFKAA has a serious unresolved issue... I don't think a little wine is going to hurt the fetus - but TPFKAA makes a good point - we don't know how much DOES hurt the fetus...

I'm wondering why most physicians - "responsible" or otherwise - are failing to caution OBs that it's not "OK" to close the birth canal up to 30%.... Is TPFKAA a physician? A nurse? I'm wondering why TPFKAA humorously trivializes MD-inflicted mass human suffering instead of joining me in calling for an end to obvious MD frauds that sometimes kill mothers and babies. Why does TPFKAA trivialize my concern that OBs are lying by omission thereby denying massive numbers of babies massive numbers of free daily immunizations?

See Criminal medical CAM at Hawai'i's John A Burns School of Medicine http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group...t/message/2256 WEIRD: In 1993, the authors of Williams Obstetrics published the correct biomechanics at my request but they left in their text (in the same paragraph!) the "dorsal widens" bald lie that first called my attention to their text. The "dorsal widens" bald lie was created when Ohlsen informed the authors of Williams Obstetrics in 1973 that they were still claiming that the pelvic diameters *don't change* at delivery! ALSO WEIRD: Before Ohlsen stimulated their "dorsal widens" bald lie, the authors of Williams Obstetrics were ignoring Borell and Fernstrom's 1957 RADIOGRAPHIC demonstration that the diameters DO change - and this MANY years after (way back in 1911) J. Whitridge Williams, MD - the first author of Williams Obstetrics - clinically demonstrated 4cm of AP outlet diameter change! For details: See my Open Letter to FTC at: http://home1.gte.net/gastaldo/part2ftc.html SIMPLE INSTRUCTIONS PREGNANT WOMEN: It is EASY for you to allow your birth canal to OPEN the "extra" up to 30%. Just roll onto your side as you push your baby out - or deliver on hands-and-knees, kneeling, standing, squatting, etc. BUT BEWA "Midwives...encourage...semisitting." (closing the birth canal!) --Yale CNMwifery Prof. Helen Varney. Varney's Midwifery. Sudbury, MA: Jones and Bartlett. 4th ed. 2004:839] Some MDs and MBs will let you "try" "alternative" delivery positions but will move you back to dorsal or semisitting (close your birth canal!) as you push your baby out! If your baby's shoulders get stuck OBs and CNMwives will KEEP your birth canal closed! Yale CNMwifery Prof. Varney (just cited) writes: "In the event of...shoulder dystocia...the woman should be in a lithotomy position..." (p. 839) Talk to your CNMwife or MD or MB about this TODAY. (For further details see "Criminal medical CAM," URL above.) CNMwives/MDs/MBs: If you must push or pull - and sometimes you must - first get the woman off her sacrum - off her back/butt. Thanks for reading everyone. Sincerely, Todd Dr. Gastaldo |
