>If anything, I've heard that it's healthy to have blood drawn regularly. Look, unless you have Thrombophlebitis or other such diseases, I would advise you to find new places to hear things. Having regular blood draws as a normal healthy person is obviously crazy. > But I don't see any obvious reason why it should be so large that, even doing it every day, that adds up to notable risk. > ... I've never heard any public health professional even suggest that the risk rises to the level of "you need a good reason to justify doing it at all". Literally, this whole comment chain is about how the FDA is specifically saying that the risks outweigh the benefits. If Peter has a 'thing' for blood and wants to play vampire to naively stave off death for a few more weeks and someone else wants to try to take advantage of his insanely large ego, that's fine with me. Y'all do your own kinda crazy. All I'm saying is that blood draws and infusions have obvious health risks and I agree with the FDA in that the risks outweigh the benefits.
