Guest guest Posted July 30, 2010 Report Share Posted July 30, 2010 I've been tested for Celiac's and came out neg., I too have the thick blood, it's Lyme related, I have such trouble giving blood now, they can barely find a vein and when they do, it drips so slowly, I tell the nurses to go start another patient, they're gonna be there awhile!

Doesn't this have to do with > detoxing and too many toxins in body? yes, I think 'thick blood' is a general lyme problem. Could be related to bugs, or maybe to celiac disease or similar problems that often go together with Lyme. Some naturopaths indeed say that the 'clotting' (Rouleaux etc.) is caused by too many toxins or wrong food stuff in the blood. Don't know if that is really the cause ...

Guest guest Posted July 31, 2010 Report Share Posted July 31, 2010 Maybe I'm misunderstanding here, but if you have Lyme disease, I wouldn't be donating blood.

Guest guest Posted August 3, 2010 Report Share Posted August 3, 2010 Some places might say that, but when my daughter found out she had Lyme disease a month after giving blood, she called the donating place and asked them to please destroy her blood. They told her that they do not test for Lyme disease and didn't want to waste their time checking out her donation. My daughter was really upset at the thought that she may have given someone Lyme disease.

Guest guest Posted August 3, 2010 Report Share Posted August 3, 2010 I gave blood for almost 30 years (and stopped when I realized I could share what I had thru my blood), but no, the blood bank doesn't even ask or really recognize that there is such a physical risk contracting Lyme. The only plus is at least most receipients are on antibiotics, maybe the bugs get nuked before they arrive. _____ From: [mailto: ] On Behalf Of maribob7 Sent: Tuesday, August 03, 2010 10:10 AM Subject: [ ] Re: Air Hunger/blood clotting Some places might say that, but when my daughter found out she had Lyme disease a month after giving blood, she called the donating place and asked them to please destroy her blood.

Many years ago already someone found that 20% of the blood supply in my country is contaminated with Borrelia; must be even higher nowadays. I'm not sure if it is a serious risk though, probably the bugs are far more dangerous if they enter the body through a tick byte (fresh Borrelia organisms, probably adapted to the specific host).
