Kathy, my clients have had very good results with lecethin.  One mom
recently called me to say that her almost weekly plugged ducts had ceased
with lecethin for 4 months.  She ran out and didn't get more, then the plugs
began again.

I don't believe that it is calcium deposits.  I can't see lecethin disolving
calcium deposits.  I am guessing that the lecethin affects the fats in the
ducts in a way that prevents a build-up.

Chefs use lecethin granules to break up fat in a sauce. I use it to help
prevent build-up in my arteries.  I see it as "Roto-rooter."  I don't know
if it helps or not, but I'm doing what I can with a terrible family history
of heart disease.

I tell my clients that I don't know why it works, but I have yet to have a
mother whose plugged ducts aren't diminished or prevented. I wonder how it
was ever tried in the first place.
