Breastmilk for adults

Todd Gastaldo said:

In 2002, 15 adults received donor milk...

That's not many out of over 300 million people.

Breastmilk is quite high in lactose, as I recall, and most
adults are at least slightly lactose-intolerant, so drinking
significant quantities of human milk may produce tummy
upsets. It's not clear from your post exactly what the
benefit of breastmilk would be for adults over cow's milk,
and breastmilk is in very short supply and is not tightly
controlled for quality and consistency.

True. But how many of those 300 million people have heard
that breastmilk contains IMMUNIZATIONS?

True. But lactose-intolerant persons could be informed of
the risks - and they may not *need* "significant quantities"
to produce a therapeutic effect - whatever that therapeutic
effect might be.

I had assumed that the immunizations and other immune
factors in breastmilk would work as well in adults as
in babies.

I wonder if human milk works on adult eye infections?

"[T]opical application of breast milk as a prophylactic
measure in neonatal conjunctivitis is recommended." --Pishva
et al. Irn J Med Sci 1998; 23(1&2):55

Is human milk "lifesaving"?

The abstract I used said human milk may be a lifesaving
therapy for "young children," as in,

"Donor milk has been used to successfully treat a number of
medical conditions in infants. This article highlights 3
such success stories describing the use of human milk in
cases of velocardiofacial syndrome, very-low-birth weight,
and failure to thrive. In 2002, more than 300 infants and
young children ***and 15 adults*** received donor milk from
6 milk banks in the United States and I milk bank in Canada.
Donor milk is often used to ensure optimal outcomes in full
term or preterm infants until their own mother's milk volume
is sufficient to meet their needs. However, human milk may
be a lifesaving therapy for infants and young children with
unusual medical conditions." --Tully et al.^^^ J Hum Lact.
2004 Feb;20(1):75-7. PubMed abstract (***emphasis added***)

^^^Tully MR, Lockhart-Borman L, Updegrove K. Lactation
Services, University of North Carolina Healthcare, Chapel
Hill, USA.

Apparently, the doctor(s) who treated 15 adults with
breastmilk thought it might have a beneficial effect.

I wonder if it did have a beneficial effect on adults...

I will copy Tully, Lockhart-Borman and Updegrove and see if
they know...

Cow's milk is EXCELLENT for baby cows - but adult cows
normally don't drink
it.

Similarly with humans - so maybe adult humans shouldn't
drink human milk?

BTW, I have seen controversy over whether humans - babies or
adults - should be drinking cow's milk.

Enough humans are doing it that it must be OK - even
beneficial - right?

Something tells me though that humans should not be drinking
**so much** cow's milk.

I do like my cafe mochas though! : )

(Maybe I just like the sugar and chocolate - chocolate
always made cow's milk taste better for me - I never really
liked cow's milk by itself.)

Quoted message said:

Excellent point if true...

Again quoting Riskin and Bader [2003] from my post:

"...Milk bank[ing] mandates pasteurization and freezing of
the donors' milk. Most of the nutritional and immunological
advantages of human milk are preserved ..." Riskin and
Bader^^^. Harefuah. 2003 Mar;142(3):217-22, 237, 236.

Riskin and Bader's very next sentence was:

"Cytomegalovirus (CMV) infections in preterm infants, that
were acquired from mother's expressed breast milk, are not
uncommon, and require further attention."

I should have included Riskin and Bader's cytomegalovirus
comment. Sorry.

Interesting quote from Poggensee et al. [2004]:

WEIRD: In 1993, the authors of Williams Obstetrics published
the correct biomechanics at my request but they left in
their text (in the same paragraph!) the "dorsal widens" bald
lie that first called my attention to their text.

The "dorsal widens" bald lie was created when Ohlsen
informed the authors of Williams Obstetrics in 1973 that
they were still claiming that the pelvic diameters *don't
change* at delivery!

ALSO WEIRD: Before Ohlsen stimulated their "dorsal widens"
bald lie, the authors of Williams Obstetrics were ignoring
Borell and Fernstrom's 1957 RADIOGRAPHIC demonstration that
the diameters DO change - and this MANY years after (way
back in 1911) J. Whitridge Williams, MD - the first author
of Williams Obstetrics - clinically demonstrated 4cm of AP
outlet diameter change!

SIMPLE INSTRUCTIONS

PREGNANT WOMEN: It is EASY for you to allow your birth canal
to OPEN the "extra" up to 30%. Just roll onto your side as
you push your baby out - or deliver on hands-and-knees,
kneeling, standing, squatting, etc.

BUT BEWARE: "Midwives...encourage...semisitting." (closing
the birth canal!) --Yale CNMwifery Prof. Helen Varney.
Varney's Midwifery. Sudbury, MA: Jones and Bartlett. 4th
ed. 2004:839]

Some MDs and MBs will let you "try" "alternative" delivery
positions but will move you back to dorsal or semisitting
(close your birth canal!) as you push your baby out!

If your baby's shoulders get stuck OBs and CNMwives will
KEEP your birth canal closed!

Yale CNMwifery Prof. Varney (just cited) writes:

"In the event of...shoulder dystocia...the woman should be
in a lithotomy position..." (p. 839)

Talk to your CNMwife or MD or MB about this TODAY. (For
further details see "Criminal medical CAM," URL above.)

CNMwives/MDs/MBs: If you must push or pull - and sometimes
you must - first get the woman off her sacrum - off her
back/butt.

Thanks for reading everyone.

Todd

Breastmilk does not contain immunizations; it contains

I doubt that there is much of a therapeutic effect. Human

mammalian milks; the basic ingredients are always the same
across all species, with the only differences being in
proportions and some trace ingredients.

They probably would, but adults usually have their own

Maybe. But in that case they probably shouldn't drink cow's

I think the main reason people drink cow's milk is that it

MDs have hijacked the word "immunization" - fraudulently

Vaccination is NOT immunization. Vaccination is ATTEMPTED
immunization.

The medical equation of vaccination and immunization lies at
the heart of medicine's fraudulent vaccination promotion

Breastmilk immunizations are SPECIFIC immunizations - mom
scans the environment for pathogens and manufactures
specific immunizations which she "injects" with her
breasts DAILY.

Breastfeeding is powerful PASSIVE immunization - part of the
immune system of the mother/baby diad.

LADIES: HELP PROTECT YOUR VAGINAS...

OBs and CNMwives are slicing vaginas (euphemism "routine
episiotomy"😉 - surgically/FRAUDULENTLY inferring everything
possible is being done to OPEN birth canals - even as they
CLOSE birth canals - up to 30%!

WEIRD: In 1993, the authors of Williams Obstetrics published
the correct biomechanics at my request but they left in
their text (in the same paragraph!) the "dorsal widens" bald
lie that first called my attention to their text.

The "dorsal widens" bald lie was created when Ohlsen
informed the authors of Williams Obstetrics in 1973 that
they were still claiming that the pelvic diameters *don't
change* at delivery!

ALSO WEIRD: Before Ohlsen stimulated their "dorsal widens"
bald lie, the authors of Williams Obstetrics were ignoring
Borell and Fernstrom's 1957 RADIOGRAPHIC demonstration that
the diameters DO change - and this MANY years after (way
back in 1911) J. Whitridge Williams, MD - the first author
of Williams Obstetrics - clinically demonstrated 4cm of AP
outlet diameter change!

SIMPLE INSTRUCTIONS

PREGNANT WOMEN: It is EASY for you to allow your birth canal
to OPEN the "extra" up to 30%. Just roll onto your side as
you push your baby out - or deliver on hands-and-knees,
kneeling, standing, squatting, etc.

BUT BEWARE: "Midwives...encourage...semisitting." (closing
the birth canal!) --Yale CNMwifery Prof. Helen Varney.
Varney's Midwifery. Sudbury, MA: Jones and Bartlett. 4th
ed. 2004:839]

Some MDs and MBs will let you "try" "alternative" delivery
positions but will move you back to dorsal or semisitting
(close your birth canal!) as you push your baby out!

If your baby's shoulders get stuck OBs and CNMwives will
KEEP your birth canal closed!

Yale CNMwifery Prof. Varney (just cited) writes:

"In the event of...shoulder dystocia...the woman should be
in a lithotomy position..." (p. 839)

Talk to your CNMwife or MD or MB about this TODAY. (For
further details see "Criminal medical CAM," URL above.)

CNMwives/MDs/MBs: If you must push or pull - and sometimes
you must - first get the woman off her sacrum - off her
back/butt.

Thanks for reading everyone.

Sincerely,

Todd
