We’re heartbroken by the loss of our friend, HIV activist Hydeia Broadbent. Hydeia was a beacon of strength and love. Her life was, and still is, a testament to the idea that we will triumph over HIV/AIDS.
Rest in power, Hydeia.
Look at this picture, here a mother noticed her milk visibly changed overnight to meet the demands of her baby who was unwell at the time
Those signals are communicated to the mother by saliva from her baby, the mother may even be unaware of her baby’s health status yet levels of white blood cells in milk are boosted.
Research shows compositions of lactoferrin which is an immune molecule, which carries out protective functions like piercing the walls of harmful bacteria, are also found to be increased in the weeks prior to and following an infant's illness.
This milk is awesome in its complexity and the way it constantly changes and is tailored 1/🧵

A Black baby was decapitated during birth: The family requested a c-section while the baby was still viable, but the c-section was still delayed. The doctor insisted on attempting a vaginal delivery, although there was shoulder dystocia. The baby was handled roughly during delivery, and his head bones broke in the vaginal canal.
The hospital staff took great measures to hide the fact that the baby had been decapitated. They blatantly deceived the family by wrapping him up tight in a blanket and showing him through the window to make it appear that his head was still intact.They even tried to convince the parents to get the baby cremated to further hide evidence of their negligence.
The family didn't receive the news until much later.
The family has filed a lawsuit against the hospital, the doctor, and the staff.
