@tilscience: Menstrual blood was found to heal wounds in 24 HOURS. Researchers at the Hudson Institute in Australia discovered something incredible when they tested menstrual fluid on lab-grown skin cells. In 24 hours, wounds treated with menstrual plasma showed 100% healing compared to just 40% with regular blood plasma! This makes total sense when you look at the biology because the endometrium (uterine lining) is already a healing superstar - it completely rebuilds itself every month in just 3-5 days. That’s lightning fast compared to how other tissues in the body heal! Here’s the actual science behind it: Menstrual fluid contains unique proteins and growth factors that appear to super boost cellular repair. You may have noticed this study was published in 2019 with no follow up studies. That’s because this lab could not get any funding to continue their research, despite the significant results and powerful potential of their findings. Why? Because it’s about period blood. *screams, cries, throws up* But there is a lab in the US that is determined to study menstrual fluid against all odds (especially now) & is building the world’s first non-invasive diagnostic test for endometriosis - the ROSE Study, which stands for Research OutSmarts Endometriosis. I got to tour their lab and chat with the study’s co-director, Dr. Christine Metz. Go to our YT to watch the full episode and bring some tissues, this one might get ya 🥲 What other “period facts” have blown your mind?
