Just got back from the Red Cross

[555_____]

Great, so they test your blood and it comes back showing traces of steroids and anything else you may have been taking.
Do you think they will just chuck it in the bin?
You may just get a knock on the door from the cops.

Sleep soundly mate.

Also, I do know for sure that they run full tests on the blood and cost is irrelevant, it will be paid for by the insurance company and the patient....regardless of if I say yes or no

Do you live in the US? Have you not heard of HIPPA laws? Any evidence found in my blood as your suggesting cannot be used against me in a court of law for any reason. I have reasonable expectation of privacy, law enforcement did not get a warrant or my consent to my medical records, and the Red Cross is prohibited from sharing my medical records with ANYONE unless I specifically say so.

I will continue to sleep as soundly as I have all week. Thank you.

You also must have missed the part where I said I was not on ANYTHING at the moment and haven't been for a while.

Went to a blood donation appointment at the Red Cross today. Everything went smoothly except I went after working out so I had to wait until my heart rate was under 100bpm. Even with the added wait time it took less than 45min start to finish. Just a friendly reminder to you guys, especially the TRT and blast & cruise guys, don't forget to donate regularly. You can go every 56days and that will be plenty for most people. Keep an eye on your RBC and HCT levels and take preventative measures...donate blood! You can schedule an appointment at

American Red Cross - Give blood

Most of us are sticking ourselves multiple times a week with needles so even with the Red Cross 'harpoons' there's almost no reason not to donate. Stay safe and you could save a life.

But you are encouraging others to do it and see no problem with that?

 

[Black Beard]

That's an ethical question to be honest. Some guys feel it could cause problems for a donor, but according to the Red Cross:


I'm under the impression that any additional hormones present are destroyed by the liver of the patient and they are in such small quantities, that it shouldn't be harmful. Again, this is my opinion based in fact, but as there isn't a way to prove it (I've yet to see a study) - I can't claim it as such.

I have donated on cycle in the past.

I REALLY wouldn't want birth control or tranny blood, yikes!

^^^ bro is trolling ^^^

Why would there be a problem with it? If you're RBC/HCT levels are elevated, blood letting is the only way to bring them down. Donating can help save a life. No matter what I answer on the questionnaire they will run a full panel on my blood and everyone else's before using it for a transfusion. PERIOD. Even if I took nothing but Vitamin C, no steroids or anything else, they will still run the same exact tests. Why should I be any different and not donate? If you're not Ware of the process I can understand being hesitant but then the problem is for you to educate yourself, not on me.

 

[DreDay187]

If they find something in your blood they don't like such as an STD or something of the sort, they will notify you and prevent you from donating in the future. I'm not blacklisted so guess what...they find absolutely nothing wrong with my blood so why should you?

are you serious. a knock on the door. sounds like maybe you dont know what your talking about youngster. allerigies to blood lol. so if i take aspirin as a regiment what if some was allergic to that. or any number of drugs people take every day that give bloods.

 

[cruiser1019]

LOL, how much test do you think is in 1 pint of donated blood? It's not gonna do shit.

In the UK you cannot donate for 12 months if you admit to self injecting.
Whats the rules in the USA about self injecting?

 

[Black Beard]

You're done 555

Sage words Hardpr. Some people have reactions with creatine should I not donate bc I take creatine? What about the ibuprofen I take for back pain once in a while? He'll what if someone has an allergy to the peanuts I eat??? That could potentially kill them no?

Same in the US. The issue with self-injection is one of infection. You don't think they'll test for a bacterial infection before using the blood?

As long as you follow the instructions of the nurse and tell the truth then you will have no problems conscious wise.
I dont see why you have to lie if theres no problem.

So your argument has gone from endangering little children's lives to getting your door knocked down by the Feds to now having a guilty conscience? Did I get that right?

Any self-injection of off-script use of anything will eliminate you. No sir I sleep with a fine conscience.

 

[555_____]

Im trying to establish why if theres no danger you have to lie.

All my arguments still stand, they ask about medication for a reason or do you think they just like asking questions for the good of their health?

Bc if I don't they will refuse me a donation. Meaning I have to go get a prescription for a therapeutic draw from a doctor and pay out of pocket for something as simple as this. They ask the questions to pre-screen you. Regardless of your answers your blood will undergo every test necessary to deem it safe or otherwise.
