Guest guest Posted July 24, 2007 Report Share Posted July 24, 2007 Hi Janet, This is right on point. I'd add just one small observation: in the beginning that egg, a single cell, is not the size of the head of a pin. You can see that!! In fact, it is microscopic in size ... requiring magnification for the human eye to see it at all -- and requires a support infrastructure of comparable magnitude. Yes, most of what is not needed is reabsorbed ... people often forget that recapture and recycling are integral throughout Nature, part of the design. What the body MUST eliminate is quite minimal, indeed. Anything above and beyond that occurs as an act of cleansing the system as a whole, not as an act of elimination of the unfertilized egg. I have removed " Monthly Hemorrhage " from the subject line, as I find this description rather grotesque (though accurate, in a sense). Bravo!

What isn't used, in a healthy, clean, body, will be reabsorbed by the body with minimal elimination, if any. The fertilized egg is called a zygote, and that grows to a mass of cells that form a hollow ball called a blastocyst, then cells begin to differentiate and form into an embryo. (However, it is also correct to call an embryo anything from a fertilized egg up until the eighth week.) As this transformation takes place, the tissues surrounding the new life remain and prepare to protect and nourish. So, the tissues there at the time of the " period " are only preparing for a very small embryo, not a fetus, and not a baby. There are raw food eating mothers that have claimed not to have a bloody period and to have conceived children brought to full term. I recently heard of one, and she has three children. If I run across it again, I'll be sure to post a link to the source. Personally, I think it would be great if there was no need for an industry that finally figured out the benefit of wings. ;-) I guess the Menses Industry finally hired a woman to design their products...or something!
