Umbilical cord blood from babies

[Mystic Wanderer]

I read an article awhile back that said all the blood from the umbilical cord should be pushed up into the baby before cutting it. This will improve the baby's immune system, cognitive functioning, and just make a healthier, smarter baby.  They also said the mother should hold the baby next to her heart for the first couple of days. This creates a bond where the baby's heart stays in rhythm with the mother's heart.

Of course in today's hospitals, they don't do this. They clamp the cord and clip it as soon as the baby comes out, then rush it off to be "inspected". The mother gets to see her baby when feeding time rolls around.

A woman's womb is a marvel of miracles. Just take a look at this article:  Article Link

Dressings made from discs of human placenta are being used in NHS hospitals on victims of eye injuries – to save their sight.
The patches can be applied directly to the eyes of burns or trauma victims, reducing pain by up to 70 per cent and promoting wound-healing.
Experts say that the medical advance has ‘transformed’ the way such injuries are treated.

The remarkable material, known as Omnigen, is made from amnion, which is part of the placenta and is the innermost layer of the sac that surrounds the baby in the womb.

This is normally a waste product of birth, but experts at the University of Nottingham have developed a method of screening, sterilising and then preserving donor tissue given by women who have an elective caesarean.

After trials in specialist hospitals around the UK, it will be available nationally from April.
Amnion contains growth factors and has natural healing properties. Since it is transparent, it can be applied directly to the cornea to promote healing.

The amnion once had to be frozen, which damaged the tissue and compromised its wound-healing properties. The Nottingham team has devised a way to preserve it so it can be kept in sealed packets at room temperature.

Omnigen is now available at about 40 UK hospitals, where surgeons stitch it to the eye.
The manufacturers, NuVision Biotherapies, have also launched a ‘contact lens’ version of the patch, called OmniLenz, which means Omnigen can be applied directly to the eye without the need for complex surgery.

What about that?
