Thinking that a vast amount of humans eat the flesh and organs of other animals, while
most animals eat their own placenta and amnion to regenerate themselves after birth,
which could be disgusting to others, is fine. What the heck is all the fuss all about?
I ate mine - all 3 of them after each delivery of my children. It was recommended by my
Korean accupuncturist for a faster recovery from a grueling hard days work of delivering a
child. I agree that it is the hardest thing any woman can do in her lifetime. Why not
rejuvenate yourself with yourself? It was new information to me then but very common
now.
Here's the procedure which I recommend doing with all love and appreciation:
After delivery of infant and placenta, placenta must be kept on ice and refrigerated
immediately until you can cut it into one inch squares and freeze in large flat plastic bag
one layer thick so it's easy to break apart once frozen. It's a bit like raw liver in texture.
Recommendation for optimal value is to do it in the first 24 hours. You must tell hospital
staff or who ever will be attending you during delivery that you intend to keep your
placenta after delivery and/or umbilical cord blood that must be harvested immediately.
The umbilical cord blood has the most benefit and some people have it sent to vitamin
factories where it is made into capsules that they alone take. It is more common than you
might guess.
Marinate 1 square inch of frozen placenta in a glass of red (ah-hem) wine each day for an
hour, squeeze out and discard tissue, (it's spongy when raw) and drink nutrient rich wine.
Hey, by the end you don't care what you're drinking, well almost. It takes about a month to
consume it all. My daughter did the same thing last year after her first child and did not
flinch, retch, gag, or admonish me for the suggestion. I ran a marathon just a week after
the delivery. Well, running to fetch a crying babe on the other end of the house felt like a
marathon that first week. But I did feel great from day one and no baby blues, ever.
I recommend it to all pregnant women who are open-minded and enjoy rewards of
nutrition.
I would agree that Tom was being selfish in wanting the placenta for himself when Kate is
the one that should be consuming it. Someone educate the man!
By the way, hospitals sell placentas to vitamin companies for about $175.00 each and
umbilical cord blood for even more (as high as $400.00, depending on which part of the
country you live in. The umbilical cord blood is used in stem cell research for regenerating
tissue. You'll find it in the vitamin C that you take off your medicine cabinet shelf each
morning and eat. Kidding! Seriously, it is one of the best things a new mother can do for
her own recovery.
