Most of our work focuses on persons 65 pounds and under as the ideal demographic to see systemic gains from a oral administration of the placenta because of the volume of stem cells in a term placenta. So to be clear– parents feed their children raw placenta. Placental stem cells are “orally active,” and like most other natural medicines can work medicinally when eaten. In this method, the body does all the bio technical engineering itself by stripping the extracellular matrix and uptaking what it needs. The whole field of regenerative medicine started at the turn of the century with tests done on oral ingestion of stem-cell rich bone marrow and only progressed to an injection method years later. So this method is merely harkening back to a previously accepted practice. Modern tests done on oral vs intravenous delivery of stem cells found that orally consumed stem cells are 95% as effective as injected ones. 

Because we can tag and track stem cells, we know they travel to areas of inflammation, disease, and damage. Even when hospital transplant teams do ‘bone marrow transplants,’ they don’t drill open bones fill them with cells. They simply attach the patient to an IV and put the donor stem cells into the patients arm—the cells are mobile (just like all white blood cells!) and know where to go. Our programs include a 90 day supplement and dietary regimen to help heal inflamed, leaky guts so the stem cells are free to target more important issues. 

With any delivery method, cells do get stuck in the filtration systems of the body. Injected stem cells collect in the liver, the kidneys and lungs. Orally-consumed placental stem cells will establish in the gut—which is actually great for most kids!

According to the International Society for Stem Cell Research, “Most stem cells have specific and limited capabilities. Without manipulation in the lab, tissue-specific stem cells can only generate the other cell types found in the tissues where they live… Thus, it is unlikely that a single cell type can be used to treat a multitude of unrelated diseases involving different tissues or organs.” Happily, the placenta has a wealth of different types of stem cells–after all it helped grow an entire human with every type of tissue

The Risk Of Third Party Placental Consumption Are The Same As Maternal Consumption

All statistically relevant risks are the same in this method as maternal consumption of the placenta–there are no additional risks. Though most of us are fully comfortable giving the placenta to the mother, we hesitate at the thought of giving it to a third party. Here’s the truth: if a tissue is being given for it’s living cellular properties, it is either passes rigid safety standards, or it doesn’t. It is either safe for anyone or else it is safe for no one; this is the common-sense standard in medical communities where the vast majority of transplanted tissues have unrelated donors and recipients. We didn’t reinvent the wheel but simply adopted safety standards used by all tissue banks for live cell donation. The training courses have detailed guidelines that ensure a placenta is safe for consumption to protect from infection. Besides, the placenta contains properties from both the mother and child– even when the mother consumes it it contains genetics and other properties foreign to her. The placenta that passes industry standard safety criteria for blood borne pathogens and infection is best suited for any third party in need of it’s gifts.

1. There are multiple pre-existing maternal conditions that would make the placenta unsuitable for consumption.
2. Multiple conditions can occur during labor and delivery that would automatically make the placenta unsuitable for consumption.
3. Once birthed, the placenta must be carefully handled with temperature and sanitary guidelines to ensure safety.
4. Lastly, it must be inspected according to strict professional standards and carefully prepared.
5. The placenta must always be parenterally administered to the child (certified placental stem cell consultants do not diagnose conditions, make medical claims about stem cell outcomes or administer the placenta themselves). The parents must be fully educated on the risks of placental consumption and be making an informed choice.
