I whole heartedly support retaining the stem cells from placenta... but to eat it??Healthy or Icky?
quote:
Speaking at a press junket before the show's season premiere, the actress told People magazine that she pops a dehydrated placenta capsule when she's feeling tired or blue. "Its not witch-crafty or anything, I suggest it to all moms!" Jones enthused. Since the 34 year-old single mom was able to return to the set about seven weeks after her son Xander was born, her controversial elixir may be working.
There is little scientific evidence to show any benefits to eating placenta, but advocates say that it helps increase milk flow and ease post-partum depression. Speaking with the BBC, obstetrician Maggie Blott explained, "Animals eat their placenta to get nutrition--but when people are already well-nourished, there is no benefit, there is no reason to do it."

Gross..gross again...Animals do it cause they have no other resources for the awesome protien and nutrients the placenta has. Gross. Humans dont need to do this cause we are smart enough to get our essentials other places... We evolved away from the primordial eons ago. How many healthy babies have been raised with out eating placenta? Lots ewwww, gross IP: Logged |

It sounds like the glandular supplements they have out for both people and animals. Thyroid, for example. Gross, but apparently effective. IP: Logged |

Yes I worked with a homeopath who used these. They were amazing.

Sounds gross but it also sounds not so gross since it's a pill. If it would make me have perfect skin and hair, I'd do it, I'm not gonna lie.  IP: Logged |

I stopped eating hearts when I found out that were *real* hearts, when I was a kid. I'm surprised I didn't turn vegetarian on the spot.  Always been more of a potatoes girl, without the meat.I can't swallow pills, so the only alternative would be tipping it into a yoghurt or something. Definitely gross. IP: Logged |

My vote:
 I guess a pill is better than what I first imagined on reading the title, but even then.. I agree that humans in this day & age get nutrients elsewhere. We don't have to do as the animals do! IP: Logged |
