    I'm going to refrain from telling my placenta bowl story again. Once a month is my limit. Curious 'bels can inquire within.

    New rule: if your place of business is in the habit of giving injecting people with anything you are not a spa. Spas should only have happy things going on. No waxings, pluckings, tweezings, burnings, evil facials that involve extractions, etc. You can do that somewhere else. At a spa, I want my comfy robe and the strong hands of a woman named Hilde.

    It's not just a folk remedy in Asia. I know several women who ate part of their placenta after birth. It's said to help with post partum depression and clamping down of the uterus after the birth. You can either just cut off a piece and swallow it, or put it in a smoothie, or even dry the whole thing and put it in capsules for later use. Many women swear by it.

    When my mother was pregnant with me I was breech and scratching at the placenta. I now have nail beds of steel. Living proof, folks.

    I'm still reeling over the 3 words I never, ever thought I'd see together in the same sentence: IV DRIP SPA.


    My brain totally shut down at that point and repeated efforts to jump-start it so I can read the rest of this post have failed. I get the mental equivalent of the dreaded "blue screen" as soon as I reach those words.

    Is there a chance that the placenta may carry over diseases (like HIV) that the mother may have? I'm guessing they screen placenta donors?

    @dirtybee needs flan :-(: I've been tested twice for HIV during pregnancy and baby gets tested at birth, so I'm guessing if the mother was positive the hospital takes care to dispose of the placenta. Unless these spas are stealing medical waste Fight Club style.

    K with the little bit that I know about gene transmutaton this really really disturbs me. Genes from a foreign source, (i.e. anything not from you)can splice into your own genes by various genetic methods. UGH I'm completely skeeved out and bout to go to lunch.

    I used to confuse placenta and placebo. we were talking about double blind studies or something in AP psych in high school and i said something about the group that was given the placenta pill. it was almost as embarrassing as the time my jeans ripped in the back when i was wearing "Tuesday" underwear on Friday.

    Try confusing "orgasm" and "organism" for an entire page outloud on Marine Biology.


    Only one guy caught it and snickered at me afterwards, and my biology teacher had to excuse himself to the teacher's lounge.
