There where a number of studies on the benafits of breast milk on adults. Yes kills cancer in some cases, brings people back from the dead if you belive some people, It has high oxygen absorption properties, omiga three, and a few other things. Was in the news a lot a few years back. Has been known to put cancer into remishon and cure entirly in some cases, has antibiotic like proprties, and has activly attacked cancer with benafical side effects to patients. However like everything is not a golden one fix for everything and everyone. :yeah:

I have a friend who used to drink her own breastmilk per her doctors orders. She was still getting other treatments obviously, but it was helping.

I went to a conference today about breastfeeding and the speaker told an interesting story about when her husband had cancer, had an NG tube, wasn't keeping food down and was wasting away.
A friend offered him her breast milk and they fed it to him through his NG tube and he kept it down and gained weight!
Now he's cancer free.
Apparently there are studies out there about how breastmilk actually kills cancer cells!
I googled it and found a few articles on it.
They should definitely do more studies on this and try and make the treatment available to the public.
Amazing!

Well, from reading the links you provided, it sounds like the speaker's husband wasn't cured of his cancer by the breast milk; it seems more likely that the breast milk was so easy to tolerate, that it prevented him from wasting away. Which is no small feat, and might have enabled him to gain strength and let the cancer treatment do its thing.

From one of your links:

Wait! You might say. You mean only infants can benefit from this?
Well, no. But adults can't just drink breast milk to get the effect. An adult's stomach is pH of around 1, which means an adult's stomach is too harsh and would digest or tear up a-lac instead of changing it to the right shape to have cancer killing properties. Researchers have come up with a method to make cancer killing MAL that in theory can be used in adults--but we'll save that for another article.

This sounds very promising.
