The potential dangers of blood transfusions


I just read a very interesting "Fox News" article from Tuesday, October 9, 2007, entitled, "Study finds stored blood lacks nitric oxide, may trigger heart attack, strokes in recipients" http://www.foxnews.com/  This is vital information that savvy health care consumers would want to read regarding little known issues involved with accepting a blood transfusion.

Millions of people who have accepted blood transfusions assume that the blood supply is free from contamination by HIV, hepatitis, lyme disease and other blood borne diseases. But there are other issues with blood that have not received as much attention. 

 Let's take a look at this very important substance.

Nitric oxide - how important

According to the report, most of the stored blood given to millions of people lack a component vital for it to deliver oxygen to the tissues.  Nitric oxide, a substance that helps keep blood vessels open, breaks down as soon as the blood goes into storage.  Information published by two research teams in separate studies in Proceeding of the National Academy of Sciences bears this out.

Blood vessels relax and constrict to regulate blood flow.  Nitric oxide opens up the blood vessels and allows the red blood cells to deliver oxygen, according to Dr. Jonathan Stamler of Duke University, a research leader.

The second research team led by Dr. Timothy McMahon studied the changes in stored blood over time.  At present,  blood is kept in blood banks up to 42 days.  After this, it must be discarded.  According to Dr. McMahon, nitric oxygen depletion begins within 3 hours.  Researchers have long known about this fact, yet blood has been transfused without this vital substance.  Many heart attacks and strokes have been the results.

To read the entire article, go to the October 9, 2007 http://www.foxnews.com/ article, "Study Finds stored blood lacks nitric oxide, may trigger heart attack, strokes in recipients."

  2. After being in relationship with Wilson for seven years,he broke up with me, I did everything possible to bring him back but all was in vain, I wanted him back so much because of the love I have for him, I begged him with everything, I made promises but he refused. I explained my problem to someone online and she suggested that I should contact a spell caster that could help me cast a spell to bring him back but I am the type that don't believed in spell, I had no choice than to try it, I meant a spell caster called Dr Zuma zuk and I email him, and he told me there was no problem that everything will be okay before three days, that my ex will return to me before three days, he cast the spell and surprisingly in the second day, it was around 4pm. My ex called me, I was so surprised, I answered the call and all he said was that he was so sorry for everything that happened, that he wanted me to return to him, that he loves me so much. I was so happy and went to him, that was how we started living together happily again. Since then, I have made promise that anybody I know that have a relationship problem, I would be of help to such person by referring him or her to the only real and powerful spell caster who helped me with my own problem and who is different from all the fake ones out there. Anybody could need the help of the spell caster, his email: spiritualherbalisthealing@gmail.com or call him +2348164728160 you can email him if you need his assistance in your relationship or anything.

  4. I give thanks to Dr onokun for helping me get a permanent cure to Uterine fibroid. I have used different western medication without any improvement, And I could not have a child of my own. I had heavy bleeding, frequent urination, a bulky stomach, and cramping. My bleeding is sometimes so heavy that I can’t go out. I go through 9-10 pads in a day. It is so uncomfortable. I have tried everything you can imagine because I’ve had my fibroid for 18 years but none of them have really worked. They just make you feel like you’re doing something but at the end of the day its not really much of a relief. People advertise all sorts of “Fibroid Cures”. I’ve tried all that you can imagine and they worked for a little while, but it’s not working out you have to keep on going. You cant really stop taking them. I got the contact of Doctor onokun from the testimony of people on the internet, and I contacted him through the Email and explained every thing to him. then he sent me his product which I used for 2 weeks. Now am completely cured so I really want to tell this to the world that there is a permanent cure to Fibroid. contact him on dronokunherbalcure@gmail.com or whatsapp: +2349064844957 he can help on any health issues

  6. I was diagnosed as HEPATITIS B carrier in 2013 with fibrosis of the
    liver already present. I started on antiviral medications which
    reduced the viral load initially. After a couple of years the virus
    became resistant. I started on HEPATITIS B Herbal treatment from
    ULTIMATE LIFE CLINIC (www.ultimatelifeclinic.com) in March, 2020. Their
    treatment totally reversed the virus. I did another blood test after
    the 6 months long treatment and tested negative to the virus. Amazing
    treatment! This treatment is a breakthrough for all HBV carriers.
