About 15 years ago, a person I know was a stem cell donor. This person went daily to get a shot that stimulated blood production, especially white cell production - this went on for a week and at the end of the week, the person was hooked up to machinery where blood was taken out of the body, the plasma and white cells were diverted, the blood went through a machine which warmed it and added more fluids (water) and was immediately pumped back into the donor.
The recipient had all his (her) bone marrow sizzled, and that fluid was used to re-establish the bones ability to produce blood. Happily the recipient is doing very well and survived the procedure.
I give you the above as part of a possible etiology and the blood doner is now anemic and/or testing low on blood components. Some of this possible anemia is bleeding from a fibroid that has been addressed homeopathically through millfolium 3C, but I am concerned with the possible etiology of having been stimulated to produce excess blood components and the body re-adjusting to lower the levels.
Happy to hear your thoughts on this.
Warm regards, Maria

Re: Stem cell donor
Hi Maria,
Apheresis
Current peripheral blood stem cell donation risks and side effects below. Don't know if they're the same as 15 years ago.
https://www.mayoclinic.org/tests-proced ... c-20393078
"Peripheral blood stem cell donation
If blood stem cells are going to be collected directly from your blood, you'll be given injections of a medication to stimulate the production of blood stem cells so that more of them are circulating in your bloodstream. The medication is usually started several days before you're going to donate.
During the donation, blood is usually taken out through a catheter in a vein in your arm. The blood is sent through a machine that takes out the stem cells. The rest of the blood is then returned to you through a vein in your other arm. This process is called apheresis. It takes two to six hours and is done as an outpatient procedure. You'll typically undergo two to four apheresis sessions, depending on how many blood stem cells are needed.
After the procedure
Recovery times vary depending on the individual and type of donation. But most blood stem cell donors are able to return to their usual activities within a few days to a week after donation."

Let me correct you here and I speak from 1st hand experience. A person's fat or bone marrow is
withdrawn and run thru a centrifuge type of machine. The procedure takes about 15" for the extraction
and about 1 hour to process the cells before being injected back into the body. I had this done last
April, 2018 and the whole procedure took less than 3 hours with a large period of waiting in the middle.
There was no pre- period of drugs or anything else.
As I understand it, use of body fat is most popular for practitioners as it is less painful and easily accessible.
They used belly fat in my case.
Further, there was no down time. When the procedure was finished I got up and left under my own steam with
no recovery unless you consider some soreness from the liposuction needle. Arnica helped a great deal with that.
I can note I had this done on 3 joints which was part of the length of time. What was in vogue 15 yrs ago has changed
markedly.

Hi Maria,
If she has been having side effects all this time, what are the side effects and why does she think they are side effects (NBWS)?

Re: Stem cell donor
It was not her. It was me wondering about this. This person is grossly over vaccinated also. No diagnosis yet, but I’m betting they will come up with something.
Warmly, Maria
