Information on obtaining Breast Milk for sick relative?
Hi -
My father hasn't been given long to live due to asbestos induced cancer. I have researched (and he has already started) alternative medicine treatments in addition to his chemotherapy. I read several resources that mention some of the essential nutrients a body becomes deficient in overtime are found naturally in breastmilk. I am wondering if anyone knows if there is milk banks that support illnesses (rather than just premature babies) or how one can go about obtaining bmilk from a private source.
Thank you in advance
D.
Answers:
There isn't a lot of research yet with breast milk & cancer but I did read some Swedish research where breast milk killed cancer cells. It is easily digested, I can see why it would help during chemo. If you go to breastfeed.com and resources it lists some milk banks. You may need a prescription from a doc for it though, which might be tough with the skeptical docs, but check it out. You might want to check out Essiac tea, you can research it online, I have heard of awesome results with it!
