Tue, April 29, 2008 - 8:59 AMWhen I first saw the title, I thought maybe it was some female bonding ritual or something.....
Dang, too bad I got an endometrial ablation and don't have periods. Well, ok, not really, but it IS interesting, and yay for our bodies healing themselves (with a little help). -

Tue, April 29, 2008 - 9:13 AMWow, I wonder if you could bank the blood like when they collect umbilical cords....so you can use your own if you need it, or if my blood could help an older relative?

Tue, April 29, 2008 - 9:24 AMwow, that's amazing, but kinda freaky that we could take it to help our bodies! I mean, i guess I always saw it as our body "needs" to get rid of it, otherwise we wouldn't bleed, i dunno. -

Tue, April 29, 2008 - 9:40 AMYeah, I wasn't really sure how periods fit into the idea that we have everything we need here on earth. This is a good puzzle piece! :D

Tue, April 29, 2008 - 2:50 PMI'd always understood that the monthly flow was to clean out and 'purify' the womb.
Remove any bacteria that somehow got in there, that shouldn't belong.
Well, who knew it could do *that* too!

Re: Menstrual blood can repair hearts.
Tue, April 29, 2008 - 10:15 AMthis is what really surprised me:
"The success rate is 100 times higher than the 0.2-0.3 percent for stem cells taken from human bone marrow,"
wow. and considering how painful bone marrow transplant is supposed to be I'd say the menstrual blood option looks a lot better.
it makes sense to me when I think about it. I mean that blood is intended to help support an entire other life, so it must be very rich. which would be helpful in healing organs.

Mon, May 5, 2008 - 10:29 AMI wonder, if collecting/banking one's own blood does not come into common practice before I go menopausal (due in the next few years), that my daughter's stem cells would be compatible for me should I need them in the more distant future. -

Re: Menstrual blood can repair hearts.
Tue, May 13, 2008 - 12:26 AMHaving taken classes in animal development I understand what they are talking about, however until this study is duplicated I would not put to much faith in it. I am curious to know why they are only extracting the precursors to heart cells though, they should have been able to get other kinds of cells, but maybe they only concentrated on one....
