Dear Dr. Hale, Thanks for the info. Those were my sentiments exactly. Apparently someone in her family, a healthy man, has been receiving this rx just to "get healthier." I am pretty uninformed about the benefits to an otherwise healthy, nonpregnant person. I thought it was just used for lead poisoning, etc. and certainly not for a bf mom! I guess it is the newest "preventive modality on the market." I spoke to the mother advising to rethink her decision and she said she won't do it "for a while." I wil follow-up with her for sure. Thanks again. Linda Pincus, RN, IBCLC
