I have to admit it makes me chuckle to think of giving polluted blood to injured people to use, but it’s in us right now and we didn’t see a problem with it

Blood donations are a good thing to do and if you have time, apheresis (spinning out blood components) can be even more helpful.

I have done both.

The “Take Charge Of Your Health” Ping List

This potentially high volume ping list is for health articles and studies which describe something you or your doctor, when informed, may be able to immediately implement for your benefit.

Now keeping a new list (“Common/Top Issues”) for conditions expected to only concern at least 1% of the population. Ask to be on either the “Common/Top Issues” or “Everything” list.

Please email or private message me if you want on or off of a list and of which list you desire.

Donating blood also helps to clear excess iron, which can do far more damage than PCBs. Postmenopausal women and adult men of all ages run the risk of accumulating iron, especially damaging to the organs.

Will it work for the Covid vaccinations?

The effect should be multiplicative (3 times effect is .7 x .7 x .7 = 34.3% versus 10.0%.)

I wonder if anyone will develop something for cleansing blood of of Covid impact.

Red Cross says we can’t donate.

Mad Moo regs.

Maybe there is some benefit to bloodletting after all.

After all the Vax bullshit, why am I not surprised that Bleeding is now in vogue.

I use to give all the time. Now I’m on blood thinner and can’t.

Can I give plasma, perhaps

Bring back the leeches.

“...apheresis (spinning out blood components) can be even more helpful.”

Helpful to giver or receiver?

I give blood @ 4 times a year, but have never done apheresis

There was a Platelet shortage when I had AML 6 years ago. My platelets at times were between 1 to 4 (low normal is 150) and I was bed bound waiting for transfusions. (Bed bound because if I fell while out of bed, I would have bled internally). So, I was getting platelets and blood transfusions often. Probably roughly 50-70 both combined over 6 months

Apparently the shortage is worse now. I wish they could do something to clean up the blood. God bless you for donating. Please know that you are truly saving lives. Perhaps even mine.

Plus you get paid to donate plasma. Healthy and remunerative!

I hope that they filter at least most of this crap out of the plasma and blood before giving it to people who are sick/injured enough to need it.
