Prescription for banked human breast milk

June 20, 2012

Progressive Neonatal Intensive Care Units across our nation often prescribe

banked human breast milk for a myriad of problems. Artificial milk of any kind

is poorly digested in the early months and for that matter, it is far from

considered the perfect food for a baby. Constipation issues are prevalent in

formula fed babies. Gastrointestinal emptying takes much longer than human milk

which is species specific and considered to be of perfect design.

I am only stating the facts and sharing alternatives to a challenging situation.

There are plenty of pediatricians who will write a prescription for human breast

milk.

The 'designer milk' for Hollywood's adoptive parents has become quite popular as

it is considered the safest nutrition available...

My understanding is breastmilk comes from a vat of three donors only and it used

to be about $2.50 an ounce for the processing, probably much more now.

Quantities available and special needs of an infant help prioritization for milk

banks. I think there were around eight milk banks in North America a few years

ago.

Breastfed babies rarely have constipation problems and human milk is touted as

the cure for many gastrointestinal challenges.

The Journal of Human Lactation

printed a short anecdotal article years ago about a woman who was literally

cured of her Chrohn's disease after drinking one 8 ounce glass of her friend's

pumped milk mixed with Hershey's syrup.

A surgeon in Kansas City had his patients deficient in IgA drink banked human

milk once a day for a few days before liver transplants with astounding results.

He also perfused human milk in the peritoneal cavity during the transplant

operation.

Cutting edge research is revealing that because human milk is living it has

miraculous properties that are healing, but researchers observe something

similar to cells actually 'morphing' and addressing needs in the body as the

milk passes through, healing all it comes in contact with.

The information is out there if you care to look.
