Can Breast Milk Be A Cure For Cancer?

Monday February 25, 2008

On the heels of my most recent article, The Content and Composition of Breast Milk, I was alerted by Tanya at The Motherwear Breastfeeding Blog to this story from Texas, which sums up all of the miraculous properties of breast milk...

"[Dr.] Don Bauer had a cancerous tumor in his right vocal chord, severe enough to cut off his airway. Surgeons removed it, leaving him with a hole in his neck to talk and breathe. But he didn't get better. Bauer lost 35 pounds in one week, and his diabetes made recovery almost impossible. Then he discovered a new remedy: a mother's breast milk." This clip is a must watch! I'd love to hear what you think of it in my forum.
