<< she has been going through spells of
> painful breast lumps in each breast. >>

as in repeatedly plugged ducts that are quickly resolved with her active 
management only to form again?

i know one person who dealt successfully with that with the regular use 
of lecithin, 3 triple strength gel caps, 3x per day.

I use lecithin when I take advil (b/c the phospholipids have been shown 
to increase the effectiveness of it while protecting the gut from 
damage).....I also use lecithin fairly regularly b/c it's virtually my 
only source of phospholipids as my nursling is very allergic to eggs (is 
having the asthma attack right now to prove it) and soy (though lecithin 
seems to be purified enough to not be problematic for her.

anyhoo, b/c of my frequent use of it, i sought out the best price, and 
as usual, the best price was at iherb.  the jarrow brand is $8 v the Now 
brand which is $14 for the same amount of triple strength capsules:

lecithin is good stuff for brain function, emotional stability....great 
for baby's brain - plus the benefits in dealing wtih plugged ducts:

financial interest in them or any of there products.....except that my 
discovery of them has saved me tons in the finance dept.
