Ms. Marion, I'm so glad that you mentioned that! I have been hearing that
one and "The Pink Drink" from Starbucks. One of the people I heard the
latter from is an OB who heard about it a group of nursing doctors.
Galactagogues are something that I have been feeling rather confused about
lately. Anyone have a good evidence based resource they offer information
from?
PS Ms. Marion, thanks for the work you've done with LER! I took a few of
your "lectures" as I did the LER CBS program for my 90h. :)
Thanks!
Heather B.
