hi
does eating papaya during pregnancy results in abortion..
is this scientifically proved?
Answer
The seeds of papaya are believed to contain chemicals that interfere with prostagladin production and cause contraction of the uterus. The papain in papaya latex is known to effect progesterone.
Scientific studies have suggested that papaya contains substances that have effects on the reproductive system. The fruits and seeds have been shown to be embryotoxic. Anti-estrogen effects have been noted as well. Green papaya (unripe) can cause abortion due to the presence of a plant compound, benzyl isothiocyanate (BITC), found primarily in the latex of green papaya tissue. The enzyme papain (made from latex of unripe fruit) interacts with progesterone. Crude papaya latex has been shown in laboratory studies to cause spasmodic contraction of the uterine muscles, similar to oxytocin and prostagladin.
Preparation: Eating one unripe fruit a day in a week prior to menstruation is used an an emmenagogue in Asia. The application of the uterotonic papaya latex tot eh cervical os is considered to be one of the most effective herbal abortificient preparations.
To harvest papaya latex: Wash one unripe fruit. Working a small section at a time, make long shallow scratches on the thin papaya fruit skin with a clean sharp knife. The milky latex will immediately start to ooze and run out of the cuts. Collect latex in a clean cup. With a clean paint brush smear cervical os with 1 tsp of papaya latex. Repeat twice a day for three days.

I haven't used the papaya method but it is one of the most effective methods amongst the herbs. I do have experiences with rosemary (anti-implantation), penny royal (tea not essential oil) and Vitamin C. If you have questions about these methods, email me.

Ps - Of course ripe fruit wouldn't do anything, it is the unripened fruit that has these properties.

Any recommended pregnancy books?

My husband and I are expecting our first baby, and I am a little bit nervous. Are there any good books or information worth reading on how to eat healthy for two, or just anything on expecting first baby?
Answer
I read every pregnancy book in my entire public library. I'm not kidding (I'm a college professor on vacation, so not only have I got the time, but reading and book reviewing is something I do anyway!) My top 3 are:
1. What to Expect When You're Expecting (newest edition)
2. The Working Woman's Guide to Pregnancy (Yale University Press)
3. The Girlfriend's Guide to Pregnancy (Vickie Iovine)
They're all very different, but between the three of them, you'll get most of what you need. To do additional reading on midwifery and natural childbirth, choose any book by Ina May Gaskin.
