cancer?<<

Check the archives. This has been discussed many times over the last several
years.
I encouraged the pregnant mother of a 2.5yo with a brain tumor to offer br
milk a year or so ago after encouragement from fellow lactnetters suggesting
"at least it couldn't hurt". Briefly, Besides Dr. Anderson's
findings(presented at that ILCA session) regarding the phenomenon of
apoptosis of cancer cells in the presence of br milk, I also provided Mom
with info regarding the idea of brmilk helping to restore the brush border of
the intestinal tract after it's breakdown by chemothx.
Good Luck!
