Donating Blood Kilted

[The F-H.C.A.G.]

Giving blood is also a great way to combat a condition whose name I cannot remember, (Hypo or Hyper something,)...

Okay, it just came to me in the shower,(funny how that seems to happen,) it's hemochromatosis, (or some variation of that spelling,) sorry I don't have time to post a link, I'm late for church. Search the web for it, I'm sure you'll find it.
Again, Respectfully,

Also, polycythemia vera (a very rare condition where there is overproduction of red blood cells) is improved by regular blood letting. It cracks me up though, that two such rare conditions are the basis for a reliance on bleeding as a therapy for nearly everything for a very long period of time.

This thread has reminded me that I have not given blood in about 10 years and I really need to get back into the habit. I used to give every 2 months like clockwork. Think I'll go look up the nearest center I can donate at regularly.

Be well,
