There used to be a way to store blood; for instance, when you are planning a procedure and want to have blood available.

You’d have to talk to your doc, get tested for type, etc.

[plain talk]

Do all three of you have the same blood type?

[logi_cal869]

All due respect, but your wife’s gastro ‘dr’ is killing her.

Get an appt with a Naturopath IMMEDIATELY.

UC is curable/reversible, but only by competent medical professionals not beholden to biased medical orthodoxy.

I can’t give you a specific answer but I live in Kentucky and my late mother had blood issues that were quite a cross. I will pray for you all.

Family members and friends can donate blood in a procedure called a “directed donation”.
To arrange the patient’s doctor must contact the blood donor services team at least seven business days before the patient’s transfusion. The doctor will need to submit a Red Cross Special Collections Order form so the Red Cross can collect blood from the selected donors.

Not to sound mean but:

Tens of thousands of people need blood in hospitals every year. There do not appear to be widespread problems. I think you’re being paranoid.

[ConservativeMind]

There are private blood banks, at least one just for this purpose.

Is she taking iron supplements or read meat/liver?

You can only use blood of the same type; with the exception of O- blood which is universal and rare. So unless you share the same blood type the answer is now. I am sure you COULD make it happen but that’s not how it typically works. They take from the blood bank.

The blood is usually filtered in various ways, whether it can be or is filtered to remove spike protein I can’t answer. Maybe.

I am sorry for your wife’s troubles. I had a severe ulcer attack my hemoglobin dropped below 7. I couldn’t stand up. Blood pressure dropped incredibly low. I needed two blood transfusions, a whole heck of a lot of saline including 1 liter open wide just to bring the volume back up, 3 days in the hospital for “observation” even after most symptoms went away and my hemoglobin level rose. The only good thing out of all that was they ran every test imaginable on me. Scanned every organ and tested every one of my precious bodily fluids (well, except for one). So other than the ulcer, which is now healed, everything is good for me. My advice is don’t let them just write it up as “Ulceritis colitis”. If she’s going to be in the hospital check all the vital organs just in case. You’re there you might as well check everything you can. Most of it is via ultrasound. Make sure her kidneys, bladder, heart and lungs are normal. They can do most of that right in the hospital bed.

[MNDude]

Sorry for difficulties.

I remember my 97 year old grandmother needed blood transfusions for the same reason. I always thought she was getting a teen’s blood transfusion, because her energy level always went through the roof immediately after.

[Governor Dinwiddie]

If someone is gravely ill, don't worry about the anti-body vaccine nonsense. The patient needs blood or she is going to die. One or two units of blood and she will be way better and have strength to fight. I know this from my own medical history.

Listen to her doctor. And don't shilly-shally.

[MD Expat in PA]

Since you are up for suggestions, have you considered taking her to a barber?

I don’t think they’ll let you use your blood on her....what I’ve heard is that they don’t want the blood donor to be in an awkward situation because perhaps they have a “past” that is not too clean but don’t want to admit it to the relative......I’m sure you are fine but that’s the thinking in my area....

If you have not tried it, Ferrochel is a type of iron supplement that might improve blood levels better than typical iron pills. It is easier to absorb.

It is a trademarked ingredient made by respected mineral company Albion, so any reputable brand name should be roughly identical. Capsules may be better than tablets. Amazon appears to have dozens of Ferrochel supplements.

Also, Iron is better absorbed when taken with Vitamin C. It is also good to take Vitamin E with iron to protect against oxidation caused by iron.
