Milk.

Controversial topic here we come.

Jackie, Lauren and I talked about all of the things breast milk was good for yesterday. Aside from being the perfect natural nutritional supplier (moms who use formula, feed on sister, that's why I wrote, NATURAL) for our little ones.

Snakob had rug burn on his face from his physical therapy appointment- Lauren rubbed some milk on it and it was better by morning.

Maks is doing much better with his clogged tear duct but when it gets extra gooey- the milk helps with the flare ups. 

We've talked about it taking care of conjunctivitis but...I did a little 5AM Googling when I was up feeding BB and saw a few articles about...wait for it...breast milk...and curing cancer.

No extensive test have been done except for tumors being shrunk in test tubes and the milk "destroying the warts" from HPV cancer. Read about it all here. Or here. 

There are a few articles out there talking about the pros and cons of it all- HIV and other diseases can be passed through breast milk and it's pretty creepy and gross to ask for someone else's milk, right?

But, I have to admit, it the answer is LITERALLY right below our noses...why aren't we looking into it as a more serious option? Hasn't everyone been affected by the devastation of cancer in some way or another? Are we spending billions of dollars on research? Donating money and time to run race, plan events, etc.? 

Ok. I'm done. Just sayin'.
