I look forward for my second LIT- 12 days from now. No blood donors yet. It is not allowed to use repeat donors. My immunologist does not want Chinese blood donors for me because I
am a Chinese. He complains majority of the Chinese here in the
Philippines are from Fujian. He said prior to migrating to Philippines
our forefathers were living in Fujian for several hundred years. Our
blood lines are related. OMG! My friends are mostly Chinese. I will not produce blocking antibody to chinese blood. Ei... how about 1/2 chinese and 1/4 chinese (pedigree)? My doctor does not allow blood from blood banks. >.<
Why are many people are afraid of syringe? Why my staffs are afraid to donate blood? I don't want to be blamed for their untoward incidents also. If you are anemic in the past, it does not mean you will be anemic forever. Religious beliefs... excused! What else? I respect their beliefs.
Has anyone heard of hematochromatosis? It is a hereditary defect of excessive iron in the blood stream. It is fatal- it may affect liver , etc... A friend told me that his brother was comatose in Canada because of hematochromatosis. My friend also have this condition. He and his teenage sons need to donate blood every 3 months to avoid iron accumulation.
I believe new blood cells will regenerated after we get rid of our old blood. Is blood letting good or bad? All they need is just to donate 70 ml. It is just like an annual routine blood test. As opposed to blood letting in blood bank= 500 ml. Ai!
