    When 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).

    this 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.

    Having 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....
