  I have a sister (a JW) who had problem pregnancies and she is a big proponant of breast feeding. I am sure there must lots more info here about the amount of white blood cells in breast milk. White cells are prohibited still I think. I did find a link

  http://www.007b.com/wonders_breastmilk.php#wonders

  It says how the breast milk has millions of living white blood cells and was thinking of sending the info to her plus any others you might know of that might help her think straight on the matter. What kind of convoluted information the society has that even lets them breast feed because of that issue? I know this is off topic somewhat but thought I might get a quicker answer here.

  "This is the unique story written by a hemophiliac who spent part of her childhood in a fundamentalist cult......" Thank God she lived to tell the tale. Blessings to her, and to you and Joe as well.

  For Etna:

  You had mentioned that your son "couldn't stop bleeding" after his tonsils were taken out. I spoke with a family member yesterday that knows of a boy who had a similar problem after having had his tonsils out. The boy was still bleeding the day after the surgery so his parents took him back to see the Doctor that same day. He was bleeding "so bad that they had to burn the wounds closed. However he never had to take blood." How long did your son bleed before he saw the Doctor again?

  Well, nosebleed could kill you if you're a hemophiliac, so tonsillectomy is no surprise for me. I used to bleed a lot when nights were hot.
