The medical school in this community is all excited about stem cell
research using umbilical cord blood.  I casually mentioned breastmilk
several times, and when I got a response they asked if stem cells in
breastmilk was my hypothesis or proven.  Oh proven of course....then,
they did searches and found no such information.  Believe me these
people would research stem cells in breastmilk, just as eagerly as they
do with the cord blood, (and probably save the world.)  But, they cannot
find anything that backs my statement.  Nor can I now, using the
Hospital Medical Librarian using all her magic tricks.  My information
is gleaned from LactNet which makes several comments to human milk stem
cells totiary? value-meaning very pure/basic/totally available??? I'm
not sure. .  Nothing I can use.  Does anyone have evidence that stem
cells are present in breastmilk? ASAP?
Thanks!

People become really quite remarkable when they start thinking that they
can do things.  When they believe in themselves, they have the first
secret to success.
