Eating Placenta
This could gross some of you out, so be mindful of that warning. I don't know what in the world these people are trying to acomplish by eating a placenta. For those of you who know little about birth, the placenta is the source of nutrients for an unborn baby. Once you birth your baby, you must then give birth to the placenta (something I couldn't seem to get done either time) and it is about the size of a baby.
I've heard of many rituals involving eating a placenta or parts of a placenta, but, it is usually the mother who does it. I don't understand this. What do you think? Are these people nuts?

Absolutely idiotic.
I didn't watch the video (or I will toss my morning coffee) but they are beyond nuts for eating that...that is just f'ing gross!!!!!
Not sure i want to watch it. But the idea of it is disgusting and serves no purpose what so ever.
Gross
Not watching it... the story alone made my stomach do a double turn....
I've heard of an ancient ritual of burying it in front of your house and the myth says that thats how your child will always find his way home ... I had 2 csections so I didnt even see my placentas, much less eat them or bury them LOL
Those guys must have cannibalistic tendencies.
My vote is NUTS

LMAO - too bad we cant spell that little snakey hiss he does right there too :o)
Well I personally have never done it, and I dont want to watch the video. However, I have known many woment that choose to.
It is NOT idiotic in the slightest, its a highly concentrated natural form of oxytocin which clamps down the uterus postpartum. Not much is needed even, about the size of a small eraser put on the inside of the cheek will release its beneficial properties (you dont have to ingest it). However it works faster/more efficiently ingested.
It is perfect for hemorrhage! I hate comparing humans to other mammals, however most mammals eat the placenta post partum.
Some people choose to actually use it as a beef/chicken substitute in whatever dish they desire, while others prefer it raw blended into a strawberry smoothie etc.
Id like to note that the oxytocin is much stronger in the raw version.
I could go on and on about the benefits, the only con is that its quite taboo...oh and when the placenta is deseased or infected, do NOT eat it :)
I have really curly untameable hair and I got a packet of something to calm it down at Sally Beauty Supply (the woman who works there suggested I try it), anyways, I was reading the back of it when I got home and placenta was one of the ingredients in it, I dont know if its human or animal placenta but it actually did make my crazy hair a little more tame !
I could go on and on about the benefits

You're jealous! You probably live on welfare, have a trailer full of vermon, and a face only a brother could love....
NOW get to washing your dishes, they're starting to grow mold!

Nope & I dont particularly give a flyin fuck ;)

Of what? Your insane bullshit lies? How clueless you are or one or two of your muliple personalities? LOL. Please psycho, go get yourself help w/ those dilusions of yours.
Yawn...

Yawn...
Funny, thats what comes to mind with every post of yours I read, one minute your talking like an adult, the next minute your rambling on like a little pyschotic teenybopper :x
Mother CATS eat the placenta. Damn. That is nasty.
I was @ a party and overhead a woman telling another woman about a relative making cheese out of their breast milk - after I seeing Borat I thought they were joking, they were not. EWW. Personally I don't eat bit of anyone I'm not already dating!!
Consumption of uncooked human placenta carries risks associated with other human blood products, primarily risk of hepatitis B,C and HIV infection.
Obstetrician Maggie Blott refutes the post-natal depression theory. Blott, a spokeswoman for the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists, says that there is no medical reason to eat the placenta; "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"

Another thing, you don't have to necessarily agree with what everyone post on here BUT, you should be respectful. I do not agree w/ the way Trailer Trash handled her opinion difference....let's try being a little more mature. Thanks!
I meant trailer park ho*
Melissa, I completely agree with you regarding blood born illnesses. Sharing the placenta with other people would be like sharing breastmilk, or giving of your blood...(live cells) it is quite disturbing to actually think about it.
So mammals eat the placenta for: nourishment since a good meal may be difficult to find, mother doesnt want to leave newborn, mother may not be strong enough to hunt for food, eating the placenta will keep predators away (because of the scent).
Nature has a beautiful way of making things work perfectly, hence the placenta contains high levels of oxytocin.
There have been studies done on both sides of the fence, not all have been peer reviewed or followed the scientific method before being published.
I dont have links within my reach for I am too lazy to search, many of my things are still in boxes since we just moved. ttfn
I can't even watch the entire video.. that's stomach churning gross....

Not that I care and it's not my argument, but to TPH's defense, what did she say that was so wrong? If you would read other posts on other topics, you will see that with love does indeed contradict herself a good bit, I normally dont post too often, but I just couldnt understand why you attacked her and not with love.
Id like to know how I contradict myself? There was somebody else posting under my name before that is why I began my own account.
Please tell me???!
Or is it when I defend myself? Why do I have to be in the position to defend myself in the first place? Seriously, think what you want but I wont sit by quietly if somene calls me a bitch.
Thanks.
Fight nice kiddies !
Daphne

The Kennedy's plant trees with their placentas. They must have an entire National forest by now!!
Fight-Fight-Fight!!! I didn't watch the video either. The pic alone almost made me hurl. It looks like that Armour meat spread in a can, I remember that from the 70's. PUKE!! I can't even be near canned cat or dog food. This is disgusting.
