I asked because of possible contact with someone who might have a disease. Hemophiliacs apparently need the plasma to stop bleeding. Unless there's an alternative to this I'd say it's very possible a good cause.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4717368833114451838.post-90918581995663266892011-03-06T20:26:32.274-07:002011-03-06T20:26:32.274-07:00What IS a scam is the cold hard facts.

How about paying me seeing that you resell it, and its not like its non profit. At least the plasma offers something, instead of scamming you by appealing to your compassionate side. Why don't they give it away, or make NO profit off of it? When their excuse is that this is still a business that has to make money, I say well so do I. I say to everyone, DON"T DONATE, make them pay us, instead of milking us like cattle.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4717368833114451838.post-26136539558630017592009-08-06T08:09:36.286-07:002009-08-06T08:09:36.286-07:00FDA also finds the whole blood centers out of comp...FDA also finds the whole blood centers out of compliance on a regular ba$i$.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4717368833114451838.post-18970336091626175402008-09-17T22:29:00.000-07:002008-09-17T22:29:00.000-07:00Good grief...I haven't even ever thought of that -...Good grief...I haven't even ever thought of that -- it makes sense though.

It was a whole blood donation too. <BR/><BR/>I've thought of the plasma donations in the past, but never did it because I heard that it hurt more since they have to put the blood back in after they take out the plasma. Ew. I'd rather they just take it and keep it! <BR/><BR/>I always feel so good about myself after donating. The people there are so nice (and give you free cookies and juice, what's not to like!) and I know my donation helps people. <BR/><BR/>I first donated after seeing a horrible car accident. I wanted to help in some way, and so went to donate blood. <BR/><BR/>So glad to see you posting about it. Maybe one of your readers will be inspired! :)Angelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10740564940180181887noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4717368833114451838.post-42086308409850418832008-09-17T20:03:00.000-07:002008-09-17T20:03:00.000-07:00Anon- thank you for the link!Anon- thank you for the link!Lisa, F is for Fischerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03099795263288256108noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4717368833114451838.post-59581204754886403322008-09-17T14:34:00.000-07:002008-09-17T14:34:00.000-07:00Visit the Plasma Protein Therapeutics Association ...Visit the Plasma Protein Therapeutics Association at www.pptaglobal.org to find out more info on blood plasma and what it is used for.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
