[Q]Swedish scientists have found that breast milk contains a compound that destroys skin warts, it could also protect against cervical cancer and an array of fatal diseases. The human papilloma virus causes skin warts. It is a very common virus.
The scientists tried applying human breast-milk to the skin and found that the human papilloma virus was killed as a result (the virus in the warts). The virus, in these cases, had been resistant to traditional medical treatment.
Scientists are calling the compound Hamlet. You can read about this discovery in the New England Journal of Medicine.

[Q]Despite its promise, experts say that, for several reasons, the salve is more than a few steps away from practical application.
"The fact that this therapy specifically killed infected cells and left others alone was really impressive, and the fact that patients experienced no side effects was also impressive, and the remission was long-lasting," said Dr. Sumayah Jamal, an assistant professor of dermatology and microbiology at New York University School of Medicine. "Having said all of that, I have no idea how this therapy would ever get cleared by the U.S. [Food and Drug Administration] because they used human breast milk."
Warts caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV) are one of the most common reasons for visits to a dermatologist. Certain strains of this virus can cause cervical cancer, but this study, appearing in the June 24 issue of the New England Journal of Medicine, was concerned only with strains that cause cutaneous warts, mostly on the hands and feet. There are about 130 different strains of the virus in all. In general, the warts aren't that dangerous, but they can be disfiguring and they can spread, Jamal said.[/Q]

[Q]"This may have relevance for the treatment of cervical cancer," because virally infected and cancer cells are similar, said lead researcher Dr. Catharina Svanborg, professor of clinical immunology at Lund University in Lund, Sweden.
The researchers hope to start small-scale testing of the compound soon on women with cervical cancer.[/Q]

So to make this practical, how are they going to get the milk for this?
