Re: Medical and non-medical uses of placenta From: Beverly Miller (bmiller@cleaf.com) Wed Oct 9 16:36:40 1996 Messages sorted by: [ date ][ thread ][ subject ][ author ] Next message: Richard Chudacoff, MD: "Re: Medical and non-medical uses of placenta" Previous message: Richard Chudacoff, MD: "was: fetal kidney & PIH" Maybe in reply to: stephanie: "Medical and non-medical uses of placenta" Next in thread: Richard Chudacoff, MD: "Re: Medical and non-medical uses of placenta" About 20 years ago there was a brief fad of preparing the placenta for the parents like liver. Yes, they ate it! Haven't heard of it for some time. Don't remember what the ritual was supposed to provide or do, I found it rather repulsive. But, then I really don't care for liver either. Chee, M.A., Dip.T.M., R.N., R.M. Repulsive, yes, but not a fad. It goes back thousands of years (why do you think animals eat theirs?) and is remarkable to help avert/alleviate most hemorrhaging and postpartum depression, BTW. I'm not into it (am a nurse and midwife of many years with eleven children of my own), but I understand the therapeutics of it, nonetheless. In a remote area, in an emergency, I might well resort to an emergency 'cocktail' if I were without my normal herbs/allopathic meds. I know it works.

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
