"Good broth will resurrect the dead". 
Bone broth is a staple in herbal medicine across cultures. While I personally would not consume these broths for ethical reasons, 
they are very nourishing and as Judy said--we are more significantly de-mineralized than we are lacking in vitamins. I believe 
mal-nourishment and inflammation are significant factors in milk supply problems--a nourishing broth can go a long way toward 
restoration of health. Western herbalists use bone broth to cleanse the kidneys--I wonder what positive effect this might have 
on women who are saturated with IV fluids?

The placebo effect is a very very powerful thing.

The fish recipe is a galactagogue of sorts and not a placebo effect:

This tilapia is the same recipe when done with carp for correcting anemia in
Chinese medicine.  It is a fish bone broth. People have been told to do this
recipe with some wine or vinegar to get the calcium and minerals out of the
fish.  It was prescribed for the anemia of giving birth and also after
chemotherapy.

In many cultures this type of broth is served women who have just given
birth for health and healing.

Interesting that in Hungarian the name of the dish is very similar to the
Chinese name and my father used to make it when someone gave him a fresh
carp when I was a kid.  http://www.chew.hu/kocsonya.html
Kocsonya from fish:   the fish was cut into steaks and laid in a pan of
water to cover, with a little vinegar and some vegetables-onions, carrots,
celery.  It was baked in the oven in the pan, cooled, refrigerated to jell
and the whole thing eaten.  The delicacy was the jelled fish broth.  It was
most important to eat the whole thing, the gelatin especially consumed, as
the minerals are in the broth.  It is said we are far more mineral deficient
than vitamin deficient in our diets-in spite of all the dairy consumption.
