Guest guest Posted March 5, 2003 Report Share Posted March 5, 2003 Thanks so much! Never thought I would be learning about blood virus in Rudraksha Group :-) Its too bad that the blood banks, especially the Red Cross doesn't let people know about this as I am sure it would help in getting donations.

Guest guest Posted March 5, 2003 Report Share Posted March 5, 2003 Dear Kantiji, It appears from your mail that you had jaundice in your childhood and your blood is not accepted by blood banks. The 'Hepatatis virus' which is commonly known as a 'Jaundice Virus' is no doubt is a dangerous virus for human life. The virus remains in the blood in a latent phase (i.e. without causing any disease) because of our immune system for many years. However, now a days an advanced simple laboratory method has been developed for testing of any virus in the blood which is commonly known as 'Elisa Test' (Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay). Hepatatis virus does not normally remain in the blood after 8 years. I had faced similar problem earlier since I had jaundice in my childhood, but now after development of this new test my blood is accepted in any blood bank. You can suggest this test to your blood bank. Thanking you and with best wishes. Chandrashekhar Phadke thunderheals wrote:Hi. I had hepatitus as a child and blood donation place kicks me out immeditately as something from that stays in blood. But it is a wonderful idea for those who can and I'm told is relatively effortless and painless.

Guest guest Posted March 6, 2003 Report Share Posted March 6, 2003 Yes, this information DOES need to get out more. I have always worked in a medical field, and didn't know that the Red Cross rules had changed, myself, until our on-site blood drive organizer so advised me. One can also, if one has doubts about one's blood, donate with the stipulation that one's blood can de used for experimental purposes, only. , thunderheals@a... wrote: > Thanks so much! > Never thought I would be learning about blood virus in Rudraksha Group :-) > > Its too bad that the blood banks, especially the Red Cross doesn't let people > know about this as I am sure it would help in getting donations. > > > [Non-text portions of this message have been Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
