VANITY Blood Donor

Posted on 08/05/2024 12:17:41 PM PDT by fastrock

The smartest people I know are Freepers. Hopefully, y’all can give me some advice

My 72yo wife has ulcerative colitis (UC), she’s in her 6th month of trying to get it into remission. UC is bleeding ulcers in your colon – therefore rectal bleeding and diarrhea, poor girl has it hugely. Her last UC episode, which went into remission within a couple months, was 17 year ago when she was 55yo. She’s taken all her biologic initial dosages of Remicade. We have Medicare and Medigap insurance, we live in KY in a major metro area.

Her blood test results are Hemoglobin is 7.7, – normal is 15. If hemoglobin drops to 7.0 they give her blood transfusions. Iron count is 10 – normal is 30.

We and our 38yo son have not taken the Wuhan vaccines. If my wife needs a blood transfusion, can they use my or our son’s blood for the transfusion? I’m concerned about spiked proteins in the blood supply from random donors.

Or actually, my question is “how do I go about getting the Gastro Dr to use either my blood or our son’s blood vs general population blood?

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.

Do all three of you have the same blood type?

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.

That is good advice. We may have to look into that ourselves.

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

Is she taking iron supplements or read meat/liver?

I think the concern is Covid vaccination. He sounds like one of those here who call themselves ‘purebloods’.

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.

You either are very trusting or just lying to protect Big Pharma.

The contaminated blood scandal
In the 1970s and 1980s about 6,000 people with haemophilia and other bleeding disorders were treated with contaminated clotting factors containing HIV and hepatitis viruses. Some of those unintentionally infected their partners, often because they were unaware of their own infection. Since then more than 3,000 people have died. Around 1,250 people were infected with HIV, including 380 children. Less than 250 are still alive.

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.

I don’t have a problem with someone wanting a known blood supply.

But if ‘known supply’ doesn’t match type - and you’re desperate - I don’t think you’re going to worry about ‘spike proteins’.

The point that I am attempting to take is that the blood and plasma industry does not and cannot know every disease and pathology in the blood of donors. Limiting your exposure to risk is a human right and medicine had better get its head on straight or they will lose a lot of money.

What are the implications of a young girl getting a blood donation from an old man? Will she age faster over her lifetime due to the old man’s stem cells colonizing her bones? Will she develop an odd interest in motor sports?

Nobody knows.

There have been some strange stories about people who have had organ transplants - I don’t know how true any of them are.

But again, the OP seems to express Covid vaccination as a main concern. I think there are concerns I’d put ahead of that.

Transplant patient finds out his DNA has been replaced by that of his donor
A man who had a bone marrow transplant to treat acute myeloid leukemia later found out that the DNA in his blood and semen had been replaced by that of his donor.
