Hello Oh Wise Ones,

I have 2 problems that I need some help with. Have searched the Archives but
would really appreciate your input.

1st: Have a mom who is a rape victim. She was acquainted with the rapist and
never pressed charges. The child is now a couple of months old and exclusively
BF. The Rapist/Father/BAD WORD is suing for custody of the child. Mom needs
any help possible keeping this "Person" from getting his hands on her
beautiful baby.

2nd: Have a mom with severe Inflamatory Arthritis. 2 mos ago it became so bad
that she was bedridden and contemplating suicide. Drs all told her to quit BF
her 9 mos old son. This relationship is the only reason she didn't overdose on
pain meds. Dad was positioning baby at mom's breast in bed and rolling her
over to feed other side as she couldn't even roll over. She found a source for
a ginger dietary supplement which helped immensely. She can now walk and care
for her children with help,however her symptoms come and go. Has anyone
encountered anything like this before. Any research or anecdotal information
would be welcome and appreciated. E-mail to list or privately if more
appropriate

TIA
