Anne Swanson, a Las Vegas mother is battling a hospital over the ownership of her own placenta. She gave birth at Sunrise Hospital last month and wants her placenta back so she could turn it into pills and eat it for
it's nutrients. According to the hospital the organ is contaminated and she would have to go to court to get it back.
Placenta's contains high levels of prostaglandin which stimulates an inward curvature or penetration, or, a shrinking or return to a former size of the uterus, in effect cleaning the uterus out.
I know a lot of people are grossed out by the idea of eating the placenta, even though this is something that mammals do naturally. It's called Placentophagy and aren't we mammals too? Native Americans use to do so with their own placentas but when Europeans came they highly discourage it because they believed that it was and savage act, thus one of the reasons for calling the Native Americans savages.
It's is said that the hormones in the placenta help the mother have a speedy recovery from the birth. Or maybe it's a way of providing nutrition to her because when an animal has given birth it's probably too tired to go out and forage for food.
If you go to the internet you'll find many sites with directions on how to dehydrate your placenta and recipes for placenta's such as roast placenta, placenta cocktail, Placenta Lasagna, and Placenta Spaghetti Bolognaise.
From what I know when nobody claims their placenta hospitals usually sell it to cosmetic companies. Cosmetic companies profit greatly from the use of the placenta. Have you ever notice that pregnant women's skin looks so smooth and clean? It's because of their placentas. Placenta cosmetics can do wonders for the skin especially for anti-aging purposes.
Swanson and a group of other women protested outside the Maryland Parkway hospital, with signs reading "Free the Placenta." Swanson says she'll contact the ACLU and Planned Parenthood to get the placenta back.
