[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]But if your body delivers it whole, why would it be "natural" to ingest it? The body is getting rid of it. It's not like we eat our menstrual blood to gain strength or whatever... I can't believe a physician would be amenable to thus- maybe they're just humoring you?

If you're anemia, why don't you take iron pills or eat more red meat or spinach?[/quote]

I want to believe you're asking an honest question so I'll respond with the best of my knowledge...

The placenta is an organ that develops during the pregnancy. It takes so much from your own body - look at how our hair, nails, skin, etc react because of all the nutrients being shifted around between mom and baby... It produces all sorts of hormones - it's like a huge gland producing hormones and filtering nutrients/waste to keep the baby alive while it can't do it on its own.

I've been anemic for several years and the battle to find the reason why is not over yet. I have done all the diets you can think of, I've ingested all sorts of iron pills you can see in the market and nothing has helped. Doctors can't see what's wrong with me. I honestly don't see the harm in this "natural" option.

I'd love to read more about people who have tried it and what they did to help making easy to ingest. There's no way I'll eat it raw or cook it with a meal, though  :mrgreen: [/quote]
OK, this is a comment related to the anemia thing, not the placenta thing. If you have unexplained anemia, you may benefit from my story.  I had low blood iron for years since my teenage years, but no amount of iron pills ever helped. It wasn't until I did a detailed blood work-up that I was diagnosed with thalassemia minor, which explained both anemia and the reason why iron pills don't help. Give it a try and see if you have that too.  All I have to do now is take folic acid. [/quote]

I can't believe I actually found something useful in this thread.  Thank you PP.  I had the same issue and although I'm done having kids, I will try the Folic acid.  [/quote]
