Is “placenta encapsulation ” what I think it is?!?
Bleugh, scratch that. I don’t ever need to know, thanks.
Ignorance is bliss

Yup. Supposed to prevent post-natal depression and other things.

  Eating poop might cure indigestion but I’d sooner take a few Rennies

    Eating poop is the most effective treatment for C diff. Other people’s poop*….
    
    *Not really, they shove it up your colon

  Cows eat their own placenta immediately after giving birth

    And most herbivores. Prevents predators knowing there is a baby nomnom around

      Really- that’s the reason? Not the organic health kick?
    2. Don Pidgeoni March 20, 2015 at 2:00 pm
      
      Maybe but theres no evidence to suggest it has any benefit

shouldn’t the kid be eating it fresh? I doubt if it’s as good after it’s gone off

Hang on a minute….

Does Harmony Yoga Ireland have license and permission to enter a maternity delivery ward, scoop up a woman’s delivered and discarded organ, bring it back to ‘their place’ and make capsules out of it? What about DNA security, food hygiene controls etc? Offering this as a competition makes it all the more suspect!

Parky Mark March 20, 2015 at 1:41 pm

Can you please let us know what you mean by DNA security?

  My concern was that only authorised medical personnel should be involved in the handling, transportation and storage of human body parts – be they from the living or dead. Think of the consequences in the wrong hands.
  1. Someone March 20, 2015 at 2:12 pm
    
    That’s actually a valid concern Hoop, but I’m sure they have waivers and all sorts of documents for this.
    A woman in labour can have part of her umbilical cord and blood captured for stem cell storage in case the baba might need it for later on in life. The company providing the service sends the utilities to the hospital ward where the doctor or mid-wife does the specimen collection, then some collection guy (might be a DHL courier) pops round to collect it for storage. If they can do that, I’m sure Harmony Yoga Ireland can do the same.
    
    The main difference being, is that stem cell collection is backed up with science and can save the life of the child if they get sick later in life with something horrible like leukemia, there are some sceptics out there, but there is a lot of scientific literature backing it up, whereas placenta capsules are pseudo-scientific bullsh*t that is used by charlatans to scam money off of idiots. Rich idiots though, so it’s ok.
