The show was awesome! Well, from this end anyway. I had a blast. Celesta Rannisi is very chatty and personable, and made me feel really comfortable. I know the information reached those who needed to hear it, which is what is most important.
If you missed the chance to listen to her Timely Topics in Childbirth […]

The article for MSNBC Health came out today. I am always happy to see placenta ingestion being discussed in the national media, but I will be even more pleased when the subject is treated with a bit more reverence. Titles such as “Placenta Pizza?”, and “Mom’s bizarre ritual is hard to swallow” just do not […]

I had just gotten my 2-year-old down for a nap this afternoon when a writer for MSNBC Health called for an interview. She’s doing a story on the “new trend” of placenta ingestion and had been all over PlacentaBenefits.info. We had a lovely chat, and she seems like a very nice woman, so I am […]

I have to share this. I got a call from the PR person for the Gentle Birth World Congress last night. They want to highlight unique exhibits that will be at the Baby Expo, and PBi certainly qualifies! Read the press release they are sending out 9.21.07. [Update: They decided to wait until Monday, 9.24.07 […]

I have been contacted by a news organization in Phoenix, AZ, looking for local women with positive experiences of placenta ingestion for a possible news story.

Anne Swanson emerged triumphantly from Sunrise Hospital on Wednesday afternoon with her baby’s placenta tucked safely away in a white styrofoam cooler prominently branded with bright orange biohazard stickers.
This case has been at the forefront of my mind for nearly four months, so it’s a little hard to believe that it’s all over. I am […]

The USA Today article was printed on Wednesday, after the verdict for Swanson vs. Sunrise Hospital was announced on Tuesday last week. I am glad that placentophagy and placenta encapsulation is being discussed in the mainstream press, but the article had a definite negative bent to it. I have a couple of specific issues with […]

Thank you for the overwhelming response to my post requesting interviews for the news article. I heard from several sources that Mr. Freiss had spoken to enough women from around the country to finish his story for USA Today.
I hope that he writes a fair and balanced piece about placenta encapsulation specifically, and placentophagy in […]

USA Today wants to do a story on placentophagy and the case of Anne Swanson vs. Sunrise Hospital over possession of her placenta.
The reporter, Steve Freiss, has already interviewed Anne and myself at length. He wants to talk to women from around the country who have consumed their baby’s placenta - in capsule form or […]
