Has she tried Lecethin?  My clients who have used it have found an end to
their repeated plugged ducts.  I recommend 3 gel caps a day.  I checked the
different brands and found that they are all about the same potency.

For those of you who aren't familiar with lecethin, it is used in granule
form by chefs to break down fats in sauces or soups.  I take it to keep the
old pipes clean because I come with a heritage of heart disease.

I got the idea of using it for plugged ducts from Ruth Lawrence's book, and
it made sense to me.  I think that perhaps women whose fat content of their
milk is higher may tend toward more plugs.  Of course, this is just
speculation and I recommend the lecethin because it works not because I
understand why.
