Is This True

---

ok I saw on the show Nip/Tuck that seman was supposed to do wonders for your skin and totally make it look way better and I'm aware its a tv show but I was wondering if that was true

I doubt it, but it probably hasn't been properly tested. You could cover one side of someone's face and not the other half and then have a group of people each judge which side had the treatment.

I once heard human placenta could work wonders on hair. I wanna know what the person who came up with that was thinking when they said hey lets put this on my head. :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

placenta is good on the skin and used in various cosmetic products.

Placenta is in shampoo, soap, conditioner, and various other products.

What is the evidence that that it does anything useful?

Well there are certain people that eat human placenta, usually it's part of a "ritual" (For lack of better words atm) after a mother gives birth. They make a patae (sp) out of it. And no I am not making it up, seen a whole hour program that was dedicated to it.

ewwww...eeked out. well now that i think about it people once washed their hair with eggs so i guess i can see where the idea came from.

I saw that show too! only I saw a few minutes and changed the channel! I was talking about it at work the next day and they thought I made it up. Google placenta recipes, youll find drinks, casseroles, all sorts of shit.I remeber that its pretty common to have family over to eat it for dinner in some cultures, according to that show.

Mmmmmm...afterbirth casserole.

The one radio show I listen to in the morning has a guy that does dares every Friday (Dare Deiter). Last year he ate the placenta from his boss' baby. Yuck!

I hope he got a raise for that.Some mammals eat the placenta of their young; otherwise, there's too much nutrition there to waste. Personally, I'd rather have a crème brûlée.

What exactly is placenta? From your posts it sounds like a bi-product or birth, if so how do shampoo manufacturers "harvest" it? lol

The placenta is an organ that forms to extract nutrients from the mother's blood through the wall of the uterus, to supply to the developing foetus. It's attached to the baby by the umbilical cord, and genetically it's made from the baby's cells, not the mothers. It comes out soon after the birth and so it is also called the afterbirth. It looks like a big bit of raw liver.

Ok, thanks. So do new mothers sell theese to shampoo companys or are animals involved?

ummm, there isn't actually placental shampoo - it's a myth, and the person was saying that the myth is that if you put it on you're hair, it's good for it. Ew much?
