I don't know but since I was young it always seemed intuitive that blood-letting ought to have some good effects. If xyz bad things buildup (say, heavy metals) exist in the blood stream, and you remove a few % of your blood stream to make new blood, haven't you removed some xyz bad buildup?
- musingsole 6y agoYeah, but you've weakened your body's ability to manage whatever xyz bad buildup and are now asking it to produce more blood as well. IANAD, but I'm pretty sure the medical consensus is that it's a net negative stress on the body.
- firethief 6y agoThat sounds more like an argument in favor of having kidneys than anything else...
- simonsarris 6y agoYeah definitely. It's good to have an oil filter. But what if you also change the oil?
- firethief 6y agoTouché!
