Abstract
Breast milk, long recognized as the optimum beginning of nutrition and invulnerable guardianship for babies, has recently attracted interest in its potential healing applications for adult diseases. This arising district of research, though still in its babyhood, desires that bioactive elements in bosom milk—such as lactoferrin, lysozyme, immunoglobulin A (IgA), and the malignancy-point in a direction complex HAMLET (Human Alpha-lactalbumin Made Lethal to Tumor containers)—can play a meaningful role in fighting contaminations, modulating invulnerable reactions, and even restraining tumor development in women. Studies from nations in the way as Sweden, the United States, Egypt, and South Africa have surveyed both dispassionate and informal uses of cow milk in considering environments like skin wounds, oral infections, conjunctivitis, gastrointestinal swelling, and certain cancers. While a few applications, to a degree, restricted situations for skin and eye contaminations, have proved promising results in the short-term use, the intrinsic demand of feelings milk compounds—especially HAMLET—has created the most experimental consideration for allure potential in oncology. However, challenges await, including ethical concerns, enlightening agreement, uniformity of situation events, and donor milk sourcing. Despite unique benefits and established practices in miscellaneous regions, skilled is a lack of big, dispassionate tests to prove efficacy and security. This paper critically checks worldwide evidence and evaluates whether breast milk is a hopeful alternative or simply a misinterpreted parable in adult medicine. An equalized understanding of allure potential and restraints is essential before seeing conscience milk as a viable healing alternative for adult ailment administration.
