I have searched the archives on this topic, but am in need of some
research data and/or medical literature regarding the use of super
blue-green algae while breastfeeding.
One of our pediatricians has a mother who swears by it, but whose baby
is "failing to thrive". (I have not seen this dyad, but was called for
info) I did suggest that the mother stop ingesting the herb based on
what I found in our archives, but have no references.
As an aside, I also received a call from a research toxicologist
currently studying the effects of this substance, but hadn't considered
the breastmilk mode of ingestion. The pedi must have given him my name.
I assured him that I am no expert, but that I have connections!
Thanks for any help you can give,
