I'll bet the human milk banking association, is it HBMA?, I forget and am  
not near a source, has some info on other uses of human milk.  I wish I  could 
remember where (and when) the conference was that this was discussed among  the 
attendees.  
Some of you have heard me speak about my 81/2 month pregnant sister being  
badly burned, giving birth a week later and me becoming familiar with pumps  
(1973), pumping her milk and using it on her burns.  Sorry about the run-on  
sentence.  The doctors were going to use the data at a Burn convention but  backed 
out.  My sister healed much faster than they thought and didn't  require as 
much grafting as previously thought.  (Her milk couldn't leave  the burn unit). 
 I nursed her newborn and my year old.  My sister  drank her milk and put it 
on her burns.  She also reached across and put it  where she could reach, onto 
the chest of the woman in the next bed.  She  was a waitress serving Cherries 
Flambe, burned on her neck and upper  chest.  Where the milk went healed 
faster and better.  It's anecdotal  but real and over the years, I have read that 
the Chinese have used human milk  on burns for a long time.
My memory is also that there is more than lore than the Native Americans  
used human milk on wounds, conjunctivitis and congestion. 
I would love to hear more stories and sources.  Off to a client right  now.
