The Disease Fighting Power of Breast Milk

Breast feeding baby dolls have become common and controversial, and it’s interesting that a natural method to provide optimal nutrition to our young is controversial, or that teaching our children about it is too.

It’s rather unusual that as a society, it’s far less controversial to have breasts displayed on magazine covers and inside magazines to sell products, but that their purpose for feeding our young has somehow become obscene.

Breast milk is a powerful substance with many benefits, and store bought formula just can’t compete. Actually, without these key nutrients, our young are much more likely to develop health problems.

In fact, the World Health Organization recently stated that millions of young lives could be saved each year if the infants were breast instead of bottle feed. It’s a powerful statement that speaks to the power and importance of breastfeeding.

In addition to providing an optimal protein and nutrient balance, breast milk is one of the few sources in nature containing disease fighting medium-chain fatty acids. Medium-chain fatty acids are important substances known to kill viruses, fungus and even resistant bacteria. Nature put medium-chain fatty acids in breast milk to protect our young from many problem while their immune systems are still developing. Medium chain fatty acids can also be found in coconut oil and can be supplemented, even in adults, by ample coconut oil regularly.

Breast milk also contains healthy bacteria for our colons. These healthy bacteria are one of our body’s primary disease fighting mechanisms, because with ample amounts of these healthy bacteria, many germs and bacteria simply can’t gain a foothold in our bodies. And if those germs and bacteria can’t gain a foothold, they won’t be the cause of any disease.

When you understand this, you understand that breast milk is really the perfect food for infants, because in addition to providing nutrition, breast milk actually protects our young from many disease.

Nature has infinite wisdom that created this powerful substance specifically for babies, yet for some odd reason, many cultures have decided it’s in some way perverse. This cultural mindset is an unfortunate consequence of moving away from nature in many ways, and one can only hope that our children don’t suffer the consequences from this lack of understanding and knowledge.
