The Wonders of...

...breastmilk. (and a rant) Ok, now you know I'm weird. Whatever. Yesterday both boys had goopy eyes- like, I'm wiping green eye boogers out of their eyes every hour. Yuck. So, I put some breastmilk in their eyes. No eye boogers today! Good thing I'm lactating. (I knew this stuff was useful for something other than nourishment. :}) Breastmilk is full of vitamins and anti-bacteria so makes sense that it would heal the ickys. I love me some natural remedies! It seems to me that big pharma has always just tried to copy the beauty of natural. Drugs work, too, of course, to stave off illnesses that are well underway. Too bad you can't get anti-biotics until you're sicker than a dog. All natural healers, many of which can be found in the kitchen, come cheap, and have no side effects, can be used at the first sign of symptoms to PREVENT most common illnesses. And you know you're little kids are not much better than a petrie dish. Besides, who wants to take the time to make an appointment, load up your sick kids, then wait in the doctor's office for 10 min of his time to hear "oh, it's nothing. It'll clear up on its own." or "yep, it's ___. Here's a prescription..." then on to the pharmacy to buy said drug, then to wait 3 more days for the meds to start working. Not me! Ok, I know there are plenty of people who do all this and look the other way from easy, tried-and-true, inexpensive home remedies. I don't get those people. If you're one of these, I don't get you. I guess, to each their own. I prefer efficient and safe. So, feel free to roll your eyes at me- I'm doing the same to you! :) And I'll just be home eating garlic and squirtin' breastmilk. heh heh.
