title="Breast milk as a medicinal product",
abstract=" Breast milk is a substance that is the basis of nutrition at the initial stage of human development. Its unique composition allows also to use it in wound healing, treatment of bacterial and viral infections, and in supporting therapy of cancer. The discovery of stem cells and HAMLET complex in human milk provided a rationale to use it in the treatment of diseases with severe prognosis. In this study we collected and systematized information on the composition and properties of breast milk which are relevant to its use as a natural medicinal product. This paper also summarizes current information about human milk banks and development of lactotechnology in Poland and in the rest of the world. ",
