1:27:49 PM | Thanks to Kate and Nykki for their heartfelt responses on breastfeeding. I must admit that before I read your responses, in my response I was thinking more about the issue of whether it is safe to breastfeed your baby while undergoing conventional treatments or taking the various components of the protocol.
Lyme Disease is not thought to be passed through breast milk and there is certainly no evidence to indicate that Morgellons is, but many Lyme practitioners do suggest avoiding breastfeeding while taking some of the powerful antibiotics being used with patients. Some of our more aggressive formulas such as Parabolish have label cautions for pregnant or nursing mothers. As a company, Logos will always err on the side of caution.
So with that said, I want to clearly state that like my father, I am a strong advocate of breastfeeding. Moms with AIDS have very little to offer to a child in the way of conferring immunity and their breastmilk may not have a great nutritional profile anyway. While Morgellons patients do typically have immune suppression, their immune systems are much more intact than an AIDS patient. Furthermore, when a nursing Mom takes probiotics, folic acid, omega fats and colostrum, she can pass along some of their benefit to her child.
Finally, not only are many formulas problematic, especially those made with GMO soy, but it is quite obvious that our Creator equipped Moms with the means to provide optimal nutrition to their babies. Granted, circumstances do sometimes prevent that from working out, and that is fine, but if possible, I would rather seek a surrogate Mom to provide nourishment than to forego the many benefits of breastfeeding. |
