I don't think it so odd, Jaye. "What if" the "weird" cravings or health
issues people have are actually deficiencies in their bodies from not having
nutritional needs met as a baby? What if pica (eating non-food items, clay,
soap) is a body's response to fill a need which wasn't met?

We have heard of human milk being used in all sorts of capacities. As a mom,
I have suggested (and used) human milk for infections, eye goo, ear
infections, and it works. 

"What if" human milk has bits and pieces, like a jigsaw puzzle, which when
given to even older humans, fits a void and makes things work the way it's
supposed to? Perhaps it's not really a healing issue, perhaps it's a "this
was never there, and now the puzzle piece fits and it's fixed" issue?

Best wishes,
Sam Doak


<<Scenario:  10 yr old with possible learning issues/disabilities but may
actually be a result of poor eating (not for lack of parent's attempts) not
that he eats junk food - he just doesn't each much food - refuses veggies,
all fruits other than apples, red meats, pork, will only eat chicken, no
fish;  vitamin supplements (chewable's are loaded with aspartame which is a
major issue in itself - child will not swallow pills) do not have enough of
what child needs to make up for poor/picky eating.  Parents are focusing on
as close to whole foods diet as possible but child is extremely picky.
Parents would like to try the zinc option but are unsure what product to use
and how much.  No known food allergies.

 

Any thoughts here?
