Pretty darn interesting Maracuja! Who would have thought "mother's milk" would do the trick!

Thanks for the article Marcuja! Makes sense to breast feed children, they always state that children that are breast fed do better in school, are healthier and are more adjusted in life. Which explains why I am not!!!

 

Hugs to you today,

Hello Bonnie & A Cody!

I have heard of it successfulyy treating ear infections too, but none of us have ever had experience with them.

This folllowing very interesting article should be sent to Dr Paul prOffit of nasty rotavirus vaccine fame! This knowledge could seriously undermine his vaccine shares prOffit, I hope!

How Breastfeeding Transfers Immunity To Babies ScienceDaily (Oct. 27, 2008) — A BYU-Harvard- Stanford research team hasidentified a molecule that is key to mothers’ ability to pass along immunityto intestinal infections to their babies through breast milk. The study highlights an amazing change that takes place in a mother’s bodywhen she begins producing breast milk. For years before her pregnancy, cellsthat produce antibodies against intestinal infections travel around hercirculatory system as if it were a highway and regularly take an “off-ramp”to her intestine. There they stand ready to defend against infections suchas cholera or rotavirus. But once she begins lactating, some of these sameantibody-producing cells suddenly begin taking a different “off-ramp,” so tospeak, that leads to the mammary glands. That way, when her baby nurses, theantibodies go straight to his intestine and

offer protection while he buildsup his own immunity. This is why previous studies have shown that formula-fed infants have twicethe incidence of diarrheal illness as breast-fed infants. Until now, scientists did not know how the mother’s body signaled theantibody-producing cells to take the different off-ramp. The new studyidentifies the molecule that gives them the green light. “Everybody hears that breastfeeding is good for the baby,” said Eric Wilson,the Brigham Young University microbiologist who is the lead author on thestudy. “But why is it good? One of the reasons is that mothers’ milk carriesprotective antibodies which shield the newborn from infection, and thisstudy demonstrates the molecular mechanisms used by the mother’s body to getthese antibody-producing cells where they need to be.” Understanding the role of the molecule, called CCR10, also has implicationsfor potential

future efforts to help mothers better protect their infants. “This tells us that this molecule is extremely important, so if we want todesign a vaccine for the mother so she could effectively pass protectiveantibodies to the child, it would be absolutely essential to induce highlevels of CCR10,” said Wilson. Speaking broadly about the long-term applications of this research, BYUundergraduate Elizabeth Nielsen Low, a co-author on the paper, said, “If weknow how these cells migrate, we’ll be able to hit the right targets to getthem to go where we want them.” Daniel Campbell is a researcher at the Benroya Research Institute in Seattlea nonprofit organization that specializes in the immune system, and was notaffiliated with this study. “The molecular basis for this redistribution [of the mother’s cells] has notbeen well characterized, but Dr. Wilson’s work has begun to crack that

codeand define the molecules responsible for this cellular redistribution andpassive immunity,” Campbell said. “It is important work that fundamentallyenhances our understanding of how immunity is provided to the [baby] via themilk. Dr. Wilson’s study will certainly form the basis for many otherstudies aimed at uncovering how the immune system is organized, particularlyat mucosal surfaces.” To conduct their research, the team used so-called “knock-out mice” that hadbeen genetically engineered to lack the CCR10 molecule. Whereas normallactating mice had hundreds of thousands of antibody-producing cells intheir mammary glands, the BYU team found that the knock-out mice had morethan 70 times fewer such cells. Tests verified that the absence of CCR10 wasresponsible for the deficiency. Surprisingly, the research also showed that CCR10 does not play the samecrucial role in signaling

antibody-producing cells to migrate to theintestine. Another molecule is their “traffic light.” The findings will be published in the Nov.. 1 issue of the Journal ofImmunology. The study was supported by Wilson’s grant from the National Institutes ofHealth, funding which continues for another 18 months and supports his andhis students’ further investigation into the cells behind transfer ofimmunity in breast milk. Wilson’s other students who are also co-authors on the paper are Yuetching Law, Kathryn Distelhorst and Erica D. Hill. The Harvard Medical School co-authors are Olivier Morteau, Craig Gerard, Bao Lu, Sorina Ghiran and Miriam Rits. The Stanford University School of Medicine co-authors are Raymond Kwan, Nicole H. Lazarus and Eugene C. Butcher.--- On Wed, 10/29/08, evian793 <evian793 wrote:

I used breast milk in my eyes, my sons and husbands. We all got the pink eye when my son started preschool. It was our miracle cure.--- On Wed, 10/29/08, Maracuja <howdurdago wrote:

Snap! Must be my excuse too!

 

Jokes aside, I find it heartbreaking that those poor parents in China whose children died because of the melamine contaminated formula didn't have access to the wisdom of the ages regarding what constitutes good nutrition for babies.

 

And how appalling that their govt ensured that no bad publicity interfered with their precious Olympic spectacle.

Love,

Maracuja
