Mountain Midwives of Vietnam & Placenta

• Yes, if she can have an easy birth, I'd prefer her to have the baby at home...
• The Hmong people believe that if the mother buries the placenta under the bed at home...
• It's good for the infants health.
• If the baby is born at the health centre, we do not know what the doctor will do with the placenta.
• When the baby is born at home, we dig a hole under the bed and bury the placenta
• To keep the baby healthy we pour its bathwater into the hole for one month.
• That's the Hmong culture.
• This is beautiful and Intelligent! It is correct I say!
• Very important to allow this practice to continue, I am stating strongly.
• If it is true, that the tools used to cut the cord are a main health hazard in the birthing process and newborn infant health, then, help guide the young people and those women who will attend birthing processes to alter there practices in sanitation only. 
• Allow them to nurture the whole of the child. Just because after birth there is no physical, mechanical connection between, mother, infant and placenta, does not mean there is NO connection still happening between the 3!
• VERY important.
• I am not discerning that ascension of any level, is enhanced by the western severing that occurs in present modern times. 
• To many moderns, becoming 'finer people' means becoming sterile, domesticated, severed from one-another, and from family, institutionalized from birth through growth and death.
• I Am not, so far, perceiving  that sterile, chemicalized formula-fed, vaccinated herds, inhaling chlorinated shower-water vapors have become healthier or finer people yet.
• They may be easier to control on earth and in any near future man-made space environments... but, will these domesticated ones be "healthy" people?
• Or will this severing that has occurred among and in people continue to manifest the modern illnesses that require more and more chemicalizations?
• Can a place that is to be developed (by whose choice?) such as mountains of Viet Nam, be firm in holding to it's own health traditions, and allow only certain growth as desired by locals?
• No allowing of massive chemical dumping into their own bodies, only thoughtful doctors of kind wisdom allowed, who will respect and honor tradition that has developed and served well and is serving well.
• I have not travelled yet to this place. Perhaps someone has been to visit this place can tell me more.
