A Tug of War Over Blood Supply
By
Kristen Philipkoski
Volume 1, 2004
The
perceived threat of mad cow disease is about to further diminish America's already dwindling blood supply --
but a new blood collecting technology could come to the rescue.
The
restrictions, to be implemented by the FDA on May 31, are designed to protect
blood collections from being tainted with a fatal disease that eats away at the
brain. The disease is believed to be caused by eating meat infected with mad
cow disease.
The
technology draws twice as many red blood cell units from one donor than
traditional methods.
According
to officials, the number of British cases of the disease, a variant of
Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (vCJD), is doubling every
three years -- over 100 cases have been reported in Great Britain since 1993 -- even though
incidences of mad cow have dwindled since then. British scientists believe this
is due to the long incubation period of vCJD.
In
the United States, the first reported case of the
disease involved a Florida woman originally from Great Britain who moved to the United States in the early 90s. Officials believe
she contracted it while living in Great Britain.
No
cases of transmitting the disease through blood donations have been reported
anywhere. Nevertheless, the FDA will eliminate an estimated 5 percent of donors
with its new restrictions.
"We
will be losing a lot of donors, possibly 2 million, over the next year,"
said Brooke Thaler, a spokeswoman for America's Blood Centers, which collects
about half the country's blood supply. The Red Cross collects the other half.
"Since
vCJD is a fairly new disease that may incubate for
many years, we cannot be certain that transmission by blood is
impossible," the agency says in a guidance document.
And
no test exists to determine whether blood has been contaminated, so the FDA
sees restrictions as the only way to protect the blood supply.
Starting
May 31, anyone who lived in Great Britain for three or more months from 1980
until 1996 will be turned away if they try to give blood. The same goes for
anyone who lived in France for five or more years; anyone who
received a blood transfusion in Great Britain from 1980 until now; and certain
military personnel who spent time in Europe.
It's
a difficult tightrope for the FDA to walk. Blood donations were already
decreasing by about 1 percent a year, while the need increased by the same
amount, according to America's Blood Centers. Still, the agency
is responsible for the safety of the country's blood supply.
It's
called double red blood cell collection, or apheresis,
and it allows donors to give two red blood cell units instead of just one.
Traditionally,
a nurse sticks a needle connected to a tube in a donor's arm and fills a bag
with whole blood. The blood is shipped to a lab, and separated into red blood
cells, platelets and plasma, using a centrifuge.
So the donor can give twice the number of red blood cells
but the donor must be somewhat hardy, especially women. Men have to be at least
5-foot-1-inch and 130 pounds; women have to be a minimum of 5-foot-5-inch and
150 pounds. And it takes a little longer -- 20 to 30 minutes.
Women
have to be larger to donate two units of red blood cells. Since they lose blood
each month during menstruation, they can't lose too much blood at any one time.
New York City might suffer more than others due
to the restrictions. The city is already seeing fewer donations after Sept. 11,
when people showed up in droves to give blood. Attitudes toward donation soured
when blood collectors had to discard much of that blood because they didn't
have enough space to store it. Others believe there must be plenty leftover.
"People
think, 'They don't need my blood again' or they still think it's lurking around
and we're still using it," Thaler said.
The
New York City Blood Center also imports a quarter of its blood
from Europe, which will also be banned after
May 31.
New York and other metropolitan areas could
also suffer because their populations tend to travel often.
In
2001, blood collectors in Las Vegas used one brand of the technology made by Haemonetics for about 30 percent of the donations and
collected 7,700 more units than they would have using traditional methods.
In
the Sarasota, Florida, area, blood collectors increased
their blood supply by 10 percent over the past six months using the Haemonetics technology, said Jane Marshall, executive
director of Suncoast Communities Blood Bank, which
serves Sarasota and outlying areas. Marshall hopes to eventually eliminate the
old way of collecting blood altogether.
"In
an area that has a high percentage of retired populations, (we have) good
donors; they are also frequent travelers so we think we may be hit particularly
hard," Marshall said. "And a number of them
will elect to have their surgeries here so they can recuperate in the sunshine
on the beach."
More
surgeries equal a greater need for blood. But more travelers mean more people who
don't qualify to donate.

NOTTINGHAM WOODS of Robin Hood lore is rife with many
SANDSTONE CAVES in its many sandstone cliffs and
has a history of Cistercian monks living in the caves.
Christmas
has been a pagan holiday since 2000 BC or
longer, celebrated by some on Dec. 6 and by others on Dec. 25th [Winter
Solstice, sun gods, and St. Nicholas]. Only recently did it become
obligatory or even thoughtful to shop, consume and exchange pricey gifts and
to robotically amplify via CDs such numerous
commercial Christmas carols announcing the "Lord of Israel" [and
not Judah or Benjamin or Maccabbee?].
Here is
another pagan legend that is quite other than what we all deem true.
http://www.bbc.co.uk/bradford/sense_of_place/robin_hood.shtml
BBC
The prioress of the abbey and monastary
takes Robin into the gatehouse and sends Little John away. She then proceeds to bleed Robin to death --
accompanied by her lover, the convent priest Red Roger of Doncaster.
Kirklees Priory
was founded in the 12th century by Reinor de Fleming,
manor lord of Clifton, near Brighouse. The Rule was Cistercian and at first
very strict but, as time passed, the White Ladies (so called because of their woollen habits) became less dedicated to the religious
ideal. Many of them were the unwanted daughters of the gentry with no real
vocation to the cloistered life. The sisters were often admonished by visiting
bishops for indulging in worldly ways, keeping dogs..., going
out dancing and for inviting men onto holy premises!
Venesection, or "bleeding" [bloodletting, the equivalent to
chemotherapy and radiation treatment today] was common medical practice in the
Middle Ages.
Many people must have died as a result, but
it was an ignominous end for the swashbuckling Robin,
whether by accident or design. The ballads state that the prioress and her
lover, 'Red Roger of Doncaster,'
murdered Robin in revenge for his opposition to the corruption in the Church.
Robin's death could very well have been linked with
pagan sacrifice, vampirism, or even
Christ's death on the cross.
"Researchers are working on several artificial blood substitutes to help with the need. There are two main approaches, one involving variations on the hemoglobin molecules that carry oxygen in human blood, and one involving perfluorochemicals - synthetic liquids in the same chemical family as Teflon" ...

Doctors Are Cautioned Not to Give a New Type of Plasma
By DENISE GRADY
Vitex, or V.I. Technologies, the
Massachusetts company that had been manufacturing the
plasma at a plant in Melville, N.Y., had a disagreement
about intellectual property issues with the New York Blood
Center, which had developed the process for cleaning the
plasma.
Doctors have been warned to avoid giving a type of blood
plasma called PlasSD or SD plasma to people who have severe
liver disease or who are receiving liver transplants, the
Food and Drug Administration has said.
The agency has also cautioned doctors that any patient
given large amounts of SD plasma, regardless of the reason,
must be carefully monitored for blood clots or excessive
bleeding.
Ten people with serious liver problems died from blood
clots or bleeding after receiving the plasma, including six
transplant patients who died at Cedars-Sinai Hospital in
Los Angeles in 1999. The other four died later, at
different hospitals from August 2000 to March 2001.
Since it was marketed in 1998, about a million units of SD
plasma have been used, according to the American Red Cross,
which was its sole distributor. Chris Lamb, chief operating
officer for the Red Cross, said the product accounted for
less than 20 percent of the plasma the Red Cross supplied.
Many hospitals did not switch to SD plasma because they
did not think it had advantages over fresh frozen plasma,
said Dr. Andrew D. Leavitt, an associate professor of
medicine at the University of California at San Francisco
and assistant director of the blood bank at Moffitt-Long
Hospital, which did not use SD plasma. Dr. Leavitt said
some doctors feared that because the plasma was pooled from
so many donors, it might pose a higher risk than ordinary
plasma from a single donor.
Mr. Lamb said Vitex, or V.I. Technologies, the
Massachusetts company that had been manufacturing the
plasma at a plant in Melville, N.Y., had a disagreement
about intellectual property issues with the New York Blood
Center, which had developed the process for cleaning the
plasma.

"RED CROSS COLLECTED 50,000 %%
Excess Blood in Wake of WTC detonations;
WHY??
Red Cross President Quits
Over the Scandal;
Most Blood Ever Collected in History
Must be Destroyed, like Sour Milk"
[summarized from an article in the New York Times written by Katherine Q. Seelye with Diana B. Henriques]
"Dr. Bernadine Healy abruptly quit her job as president of the American Red Cross today, telling reporters through tears she had been forced out.
[...] Critics took issue with her handling of blood donations [blood was needed for only about 300 people who were rescued the first day or two from WTC former towers ... but the Red Cross pleaded for six weeks to the entire United States nation and to all of Canada for blood by the hour, each day, day in and day out], saying she had been so aggressive in appealing for blood that was not needed[.]
[...] She also drew fire for her aggressive handling of the LIBERTY FUND, which has collected nearly $500 million ... helping the Red Cross prepare for BIO-TERRORIST attacks ... donors and chapter presidents said they thought the contributions were strictly for the victims.
[...] A foremer director of the NIH [National Institutes of Health], Dr. Healy was appointed to the $450,000/year job to succeed Elizabeth Dole, who resigned to run for President.
[...] After an elaborate pageant ... she said her resignation was precipitated by the long dispute over ISRAEL'S request to joint the International Red Cross without having to accept a cross or a crescent as its emblem ... Dr. Healy had taken an aggressive stand in support of Israel's membership, WITHHOLDING all the American Red Cross dues from the International body [in Geneva, Switzerland] as a protest."
[...] One senior official ... with the Red Cross said the breaking point ... came shortly after September 11th, when Dr. Healy FIRED Anne D. Miller, the manager of the Red Cross Disaster Operations Center in Falls Church, VA, and Elizabeth McNulty, the center's manager of Technical Support.
This official called those dismissals "traumatic".

from a recent late July 2001, New York Times article
[excerpted]
"SANQUIN, a Dutch foundation affiliated with the Dutch Red Cross, denies its Blood is tainted with Mad Cow and Creutzfeldt-Jakob viruses"
"[...] The dispute [over whether NYC should ban blood imports from Europe] casts light on the deep interdependency of health care systems gobally. But it also highlights the nervousness about blood safety on both sides of the Atlantic. The dispute will be discussed ... when representatives of the Swiss, Dutch and German blood banks that export to New York are to meet in Paris with a representative of the U.S. FOOD & DRUG ADMINISTRATION [FDA].
[...] The blood supplies tht New York receives consist of red cells, the oxygen-bearing cells that are removed from whole blood[.]
[...] Roughly 70,000 units are from Switzerland, another 40,000 to 50,000 from the Netherlands and the rest from Germany. The New York Blood Center is the main supplier of blood for 200 hospitals in New York City ... and Long Island[.]
[...] Since patients rarely require all the components of whole blood, blood is typically broken down into its main components, including red cells and plasma, the protein rich liquid portion of blood.
The Swiss pharmaceutical industry uses large quantities of plasma to make drugs[.]
[...] Germany has banned the import of plasma from Britain, where mad cow is most prevalent, for use in pharmaceutical products[.]"

" ... the dispute between FDA and the RED CROSS made national news, as a ... letter to the agency from the consumer advocacy group PUBLIC CITIZEN declared, "It is time for the FDA to stop playing dangerous, cooperative, polite games" with Healy's group. If the agency fails to act decisively, Public Citizen claimed, "It will only be a matter of time before ... patients receiving blood or other blood products will become needlessly infected because of the sloppy procedures documented in many FDA inspections [of Red Cross facilities]."

BLOOD SUBSTITUTES
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
HEMOPURE & THEIR COMPETITION: Oxygent and Somatogen and a cast of others --->>>
click here now
Efforts to develop oxygen-carrying solutions have focused on two technologies, either hemoglobin, which may be derived from various biologic sources, including
recombinant technology, or synthetic perfluorochemicals, such as Oxygent(TM).
Perfluorochemicals (PFCs) are clear fluids that dissolve large amounts of
respiratory gases such as oxygen and carbon dioxide and can be formulated into a stable emulsion for intravenous use. This emulsion is designed to increase the
oxygen-carrying capacity of blood. PFCs differ from hemoglobin-based oxygen-carrying solutions
The study has validated the concept of a PBOC
actually reversing a transfusion trigger and ostensibly follows the line of reasoning that perflubron transfusion is an alternative to a traditional blood product. Another perfluorocarbon-based oxygen carrier (PBOC) may be poised to enter the marketplace. Its Oxycyte™ from an Ohio company called Synthetic Blood
International, Inc. (SBI). Many leaders at the Institute have worked for duPont.
Polymer latexes, also known as EMULSION POLYMERS,
are colloidal dispersions of submicroscopic polymer particles in a
continuous medium. The best known example is the natural latex produced by the rubber tree (Hevea brasiliensis) which is still
an important source. Today there is OXYGENT, a synthetic blood made from fluorochemicals and nano-bubbles, available to you via ALLIANCE PHARMACEUTICALS
The research activities of the Institute include: study of the polymerization mechanisms and kinetics of conventional, seeded,
semi-continuous, living free radical, miniemulsion, and dispersion polymerizations, with special emphasis on the use of reaction
calorimetry to determine the kinetics of these processes; investigations into the development of particle morphology in
composite latex systems through both theoretical and experimental means; the preparation of large-particle-size monodisperse
latexes by successive seeding and dispersion polymerization; the role of conventional, mixed, polymeric, and reactive
surfactants in emulsion polymerization; the characterization of latex particles through methods such as capillary hydrodynamic
fractionation (CHDF), microscopy (scanning and transmission electron microscopy, atomic force microscopy, and optical
microscopy), NMR, and conductometric titration analysis; the study of the mechanism of latex film formation (also for latex
blends) and crosslinking from latexes having specific reactive groups which are capable of undergoing crosslinking reactions;
the effect of agitation on reactor scale-up; among other research topics.
So don't forget, that Perflubron Emulsion, the new "blood" called Oxygent, by Alliance, is really a kind of fluoro-chemical latex on a nano-microscopic scale of size and dimension [very spherical]. Is this what you want running through your cells and lapping the walls of your DNA and/or kidneys??

"[...] many blood centers ... sell the blood they collect and process, to HOSPITALS. FDA [U.S. Food & Drug Administration]
mandates have pushed up processing costs to $120 a unit. Two new tests, expected to be put in place this summer, could RAISE THE COST a further $40 per unit [i.e. to $160/per unit of blood].
[...] most hospitals ... are fighting price increases by DELAYING PAYMENT. One New York institution [unnamed] ran up a $6 million bill before it finally sent ... a check."
Which of the two juggernauts of blood banking business and blood warehousing is larger?
AMERICAN RED CROSS
or
AMERICA'S BLOOD CENTERS (ABC)??
Answer: They are equals, both with 48% of all U.S. national blood supplies, and ties to German Red Cross and/or The National Blood Service of the U.K., and the Australian Blood Bank Empire.

QUESTION: How many pints [units] of blood does a patient require undergoing 12 hours of open heart surgery?
ANSWER: Usually only about 6 units.
Commentary: Where is all our blood going in our blood banks??!!! If the most bloody of operations requires only 6 units, and nobody seems to mention that all military personnel in the U.S. give blood via a military hospital [a "second tier" bank, unaffiliated with Red Cross or ABC] ... who is guzzling down all this BLOOD??

from a NEW YORK TIMES headline:
"... a [UK highway] tanker carrying 22 tons of BLOOD from cattle that were destroyed in an effort to eradicate mad-cow disease spilled ... the blood onto a highway."
"... many CATTLE more than 36 months old had been destroyed as a preventative measure and did not actually carry the disease."
This publication asks, "Why was BLOOD not destroyed along with the carcasses of the CATTLE ... For what purpose, and under the jurisdiction of WHICH British authority, was this excercised. Twenty two TONS of blood is quite a lot, and we don't think it takes quite so much blood, especially tainted or "maybe" tainted, to make Spanish bloodsausage for the new EU market.
NOTE:
COLLAGEN -- connective tissue protein, insoluble UNTIL boiled at high heat, then it yields GELATIN. In the group called SCLEROPROTEINS, which are thought to be insoluble but CAN be dissolved by citric acid, and similar to sclerenchyma, the hard woody pithy cells of plants and nutshells.
HISTAMINE -- binds SMOOTH MUSCLE tissue. It also causes the smooth muscle tissue to CONTRACT. When in the lungs, histamine stimulates the formation of WHITE BLOOD CELLS (to invasion levels if too concentrated) and create MUCOPOLYSACCHARIDES in the bronchioles. During blood transfusions, allergies can be passed from blood donor to blood recipient through the granules of histamine in the donor's blood. This is known as a "passive transfer" and involves IgE antibodies. In addition, histamine is a DILATORY agent and makes capillaries SUPER-PERMEABLE.
GLYCOGEN -- a white amorphous tasteless POLYSACCHARIDE (C6-H10-05) that is the chief storage carbohydrate of animals.
GLUCAGON -- a protein hormone that is obtained from the islets of Langerhans and that increases content of sugar in the blood by increasing the breakdown of GLYCOGEN in the blood.
GLUCOSE -- from the Greek "Gluekos" meaning "sweet sweet wine".

MOLYBDENUM
is a by-product of
porphyry mineral deposit mining, which is most dense
in Arizona, New Mexico, Chile, the Solomon Islands, and many other locations
around the globe.
more on ---
--- Oxide ceramics processed
by the electronics industry are nearly
universally sintered in hydrogen on MOLYBDENUM carriers.
Molybdenum is also being employed in munitions applications.
History
(Greek = "molybdos, lead")
Before Scheele recognized molybdenite as
a distinct ore of a new element in 1778, it was
confused with graphite
and lead and tin lead
[note: gypsies, aka Romanies,
spend most of their days seeking tin cans for salvaging the lead and tin on hunts
throughout the Balkans and parts of India]. The metal was 1st prepared
as an impure form in 1782 by Hjelm.
Molybdenum does NOT occur naturally,
but is obtained principally from molybdenite.
Sources
Molybdenum is also recovered as a by-product of copper and tungsten
mining operations. The metal is prepared from the powder made by the
HYDROGEN reduction of purified molybdic trioxide or AMMONIUM
molybdate.
Properties
The metal is silvery white, very hard, but is softer and more ductile
than tungsten. It
also improves the strength of steel at high temperatures.
Uses
It is used in certain nickel-based alloys, such as the "Hastelloys(R)"
which are heat-resistant and corrosion-resistant to chemical solutions.
Molybdenum oxidizes at
elevated temperatures. The metal has found recent application as electrodes
for electrically heated glass furnaces and foreheaths. The metal
is also used in nuclear energy applications and for missile and
aircraft parts. Molybdenum is valuable as a catalyst in the refining
of petroleum. It has found applications as a filament material
in electronic and electrical applications. Molybdenum sulfide is
useful as a lubricant, especially at high temperatures where oils
would decompose.
Molybdenum support structures have replaced GRAPHITE in the processing of high-purity alcohols.
Molybdenum-rhenium alloys have been employed as vessel lining and piping components for the manufacture of COMMERCIAL FREON [not occuring naturally in nature nor our galaxy].
Aerospace forgers employ tooling made of molybdenum alloys to forge engine materials at high temperature. Molybdenum alloys are ideal for certain applications in the BRASS industry.
Molybdenum-tungsten alloys are used in the handling of molten ZINC, due to their chemical compatibility with that material. The processing of many electronic components, whether it be by sintering the CERAMIC material used in high-performance circuit boards or the metallization of silicon wafers, requires molybdenum metal components.
GLASS MANUFACTURING
Because of its compatibility with many molten glass compositions,
molybdenum has found application in furnace construction. The most common use for molybdenum
is as electrodes for the melting of glass. Because glass is
electrically conductive when molten, molybdenum electrodes can
be used.
Before moving on to the role of porphyrins, and how they relate to porphyria, "fermented blood", and the microscopic POLYMER EMULSIONS -- BLOOD SUBSTITUTES [above] which are currently used in lieu of blood transfusions, let us quickly review the properties of a few elements important in these issues!
RHENIUM -- the term "rheology" comes from this, defined as the "science of the flow and DEFORMATION of matter and the interrelation of time and FORCE in bringing about this deformation". The rare metal rhenium is radioactive and a molybdenite ore by product. It can be formed into a black metal powder formed by the HYDROGEN reduction of Ammonium Perrhenate. It has the highest melting point of all metals. Rheology studies are very big at Dow Chemical and at DuPont.
Radioactive bromine ponds are often termed "brine". One of the most "plentiful" is at the Dow Chemical Supply Center in Michigan (Midland). Brine is needed for the bromine extraction process of nuclear fuel generation.
BILIRUBIN -- is a pigment of the bile secreted by the liver that colors our excrement. It is produced, in theory, by our bone marrow. It is the END PRODUCT of hemaglobin breakdown. The more hemaglobin broken down in the bloodstream, the more bilirubin is secreted by the liver. A build up of bilirubin in the body leads to auditory impairment and deafness. Bilirubin has no other known function and is toxic to the fetal brain.
BERYLLIUM -- until 1957, beryllium was known as Glucinium [as in glucose and glucosides], due to its sweet tast [it is highly radioactive, so it is hard to pinpoint who tasted it first].
Beryllium transmits X-RAYS 17x (SEVENTEEN) times better than aluminum. It is used to fabricate gyroscopes and computer parts that are semi successfully "anti-magnetic" in missle, aircraft and space vehicle guidance systems. Beryillium is a natural antagonist to magnesium, it's nemesis.
A nuclear reactor could in all probability never be constructed without the use of beryllium.
ARSENIC -- is allegedly a member of the nitrogen family. It was not known until 360 BC, and not identified until 1649, during a time of meteorite showers. It is often combined with antimony.
Its abundant METALLIC sulfide is called Arsenopyrite, like the pyrites of meteorites.
Arsenic is the only "element" that passes directly into a vapor without melting. It also reverts to a crystaline solid without liquefying upon cooling the arsenic gas vapors.
Arsenic is an outstanding oxidant, what we don't want in our food chain or bodies [i.e. a "free radical" in nutrition terms]. Arsenic's main damage to humans is its vicious destruction of RED BLOOD CELLS. It is used in herbicides that work on the same principal as dioxin and agent orange.
CARBOXYLIC ACID -- destroys "collagen", the "glue of life" for humans, fish, and mammals. It is a univalent "RADICAL" COOH (a chemical "radical"). Doesn't form CO2 [carbon dioxide] and a free hydrogen, it prefers the abnormal COOH state. It loves to join with salts.
Carboxylic acid is a great inhibitor of collagen syntheis, which translates to death in humans.
CARBONYL Groups -- a bi-valent "RADICAL" (CO) [carbon monoxide]. It always contains a metal. Formaldehyde has many carbonyl groups.
And the big clencher mental association here, is that
carboxylmethylcellulose,
a water soluble polymer made of carboxylic acids, used as coating on paper, is not so different from the emulsion polymers that are being used as BLOOD SUBSTITUTES today.
Porphyrins, a derivative of porphyry,
are the essential ingredients
of hemoproteins. Hemoproteins include the chlorophylls of plants,
the enzymes in cells involved in oxidative processes, and the unique and
rather isolated enzyme called "CATALASE," which accelerates the breakdown
of
HYDROGEN PEROXIDE.
Hemoproteins are porphyrins, combined with metals --- and protein.
Porphyrins are also the reddish constituents of HEME [the heme
of hemaeglobin in the blood], the oxygen carrying protein of red blood
cells. They are water soluble, nitrogenous pigments that can also
be called "biochromes".
A marked overproduction of porphyrins in the blood causes a painful
disease called PORPHYRIA.
The precursors of porphyrins in the blood are called ALAs, or, 5-Aminolevulinic
Acids.
These ALAs induce iron release from ferritin and the lipid PEROXIDATION
of cardio-Lipid-rich vesicles, and also traumatizing breaks in the plasmid
DNA. They contribute to a vast increase of "free iron"
in the blood, and yield free radicals and oxyradicals, initiated
by electron transfer to dioxygen in the blood. If the person
afflicted by porphyria has a low salt intake diet, and a high concentration
of powdered sea kelp instead, supplemented by MAGNESIUM and calcium, the
effects are not nearly as deleterious.
High salt intake vastly increases the electrolytic damage done within
the bloodstream of the porpyhria afflicted patient!
Any sufferers who have a high salt intake must go to their physician
and have their
"SERUM DIGOXIN" levels checked as soon as possible. Digoxin is from the poisonous
foxglove plant,
The former Viking races seem unusually susceptible to porphyria, and
the whites of South Africa have the highest incidence among all
races recorded to date.
