Recent discoveries have produced evidence that breast milk also contains antibodies that help build the immune system in infants. But can it fight cancer cells? And does it work for adults? Georgia Browne’s father was diagnosed with colon cancer in July 2007, and as with every family member or friend, Georgia was devastated. After giving birth to her son July 2008, she came across a documentary boasting that breast milk has the ability to fight cancer cells. Now her father Tim, drinks her breast milk daily in hopes that it will fend off the cancer in his body. There has been some improvement in Tim’s health, and Georgia is proud to provide the breast milk to her father if it means that they will have more time together. Not many people can claim that they feed their father their own breast milk, but if it does help, then maybe more people will try. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.8/10 - Popularity: 27% | Activity: 79% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Life-Stages](https://www.trendhunter.com/life-stages) > [Babies](https://www.trendhunter.com/babies) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Medicinal Breast Milk:** Further research can be conducted to explore breast milk’s effectiveness in fighting cancer cells. - **Alternative Medicines:** The discovery of breast milk's cancer-fighting properties opens up possibilities for new alternative medicines. - **Personalized Treatment:** Breast milk’s ability to interact with different individuals' immune systems and potentially prevent/treat diseases showcases an opportunity for personalized treatment options. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Healthcare:** Breast milk's cancer-fighting properties could disrupt and transform current healthcare practices and treatments. - **Alternative Medicine:** Breast milk's unique properties could lead to advancements in the alternative medicine industry. - **Research and Development:** Breast milk's potential as a cancer treatment highlights the need for further research and scientific development in this field. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Breast Milk Ice Creams](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/frida-breast-milk-ice-cream.md) - [Breast Milk Ice Creams](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/frida.md) - [Cell-Based Breast Milks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cell-based-breast-milk.md) - [Mastitis Prevention Probiotic Supplements](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/almimama.md) - [Humanized Baby Formulas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/humanized-baby-formula.md) - [Cancer-Combatting Engineered Bacteria](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/staphylococcus-epidermidis.md) - [Chai-Flavored Colostrum Supplements](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/armra-colostrum.md) - [Breast Milk Freeze-Drying Technologies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/freezedrying-technology.md) - [Powdered Breast Milk Kits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/leche.md)
