How about "you're never too old for breastmilk!"?

At a CERP session at the LLLI conf several years ago there was a
presentation (I believe it was Arnold) on novel uses of breastmilk in
medicine.  One was for healing surgery wounds (yes, it worked) and another
was for AIDS patients.

Can I bet my house that we will never see an infomercial on this?  Why?
It's simple economics...who stands to reap the FINANCIAL rewards of
breastfeeding, especially in a pluralistically funded health care system
where people are constantly forced to change health plans.  Sorry, my
anti-US health care funding system is showing.  I have testified for a
single-payer system several times and suppose I'll have to keep doing it
'till I'm blue in the face.
