Hi All

     I saw an article in yesterday's USA Today that said one of the
     microbial lipids in human milk "completely inhibited" chlamydial
     infection...  The researchers (Mary Lampe and colleagues @ u of
     washington, seattle) are hopeful that there will be a topical lipid
     preparation to fight off not only chlamydia but other STDs..

     Isn't our milk wonderful!!!???

     Darillyn - I can relate to you about how bothersome it can be to see
     women who refuse to nurse.  Although I have been bleesed with two
     healthy children, one of my kids died shortly after birth.  Wehn I
     would go out and see all these women with bottles my stomach just
     turned.  I wanted so badly to nurse my baby, and here all these women
     were, with this precious gift of a healthy child, and functioning
     breasts and they didn't even care...  AARRRGGHHH!!! Take care! :)
