“I donate blood every two years to prevent excess iron”!

Do you also believe that peanut butter stays in a persons colon forever?

Curious people just wonder about folks like you who go in for VOODOO TELEVISION MEDICINE!

Like any body with ANY COMMON SENSE would listen to something as SCREWY AS THAT!

Drawing blood regularly to reduce iron is a known treatment for those suffering from Hemochromatosis. Patients either pay to have it drawn or they simply go donate.

Studies have shown that for regular blood donors, without iron supplements, most blood donors don't return to same iron level within 24 weeks.

Umm. Phlebotomy is a fragment for hemochromatosis. Wow. That was a bizarre response.
