chlorophyll absolutely cannot be used for a blood transfusion! heme and chlorophyl, though structurally similar and in functional parallel, are NOT interchangeable.
I havent heard of anyone using it, or tested it, but ive read it could be used as a transfusion, but transfusing it is a bit pointless & wasnt the point of my post, its effective for replacing lost blood from injury or accidents, or maintaining a persons blood supply in anaemic conditions, easily if ingested
I'd be happy to track down something more definitive, but its a bit pointless, as raw liver & organs are far superior
"The Chlorophyll in plants and the Hemoglobin of our blood are nearly identical. The center of the chlorophyll molecule is Magnesium, whereas the center of the Hemoglobin is Iron. Chlorophyll-rich foods build your blood! [Green juice with Young Coconut Water (which is identical to blood plasma) is equivalent to a blood transfusion.]"
"Fresh raw green leafy vegetables contain high doses of chlorophyll, easily digestible proteins, enzymes and a wide range of vitamins and minerals. These particular vegetables act as mini-transfusions for the blood, a health tonic for the brain and immune system and a cleanser of the kidneys. Try any of the following: rocket, spinach, dandelion greens, kale, watercress, parsley, lettuce, endive, chicory, broccoli sprouts and mustard sprouts."
"a Rhesus (Rh) antigen, a protein found on the membranes of human red blood cells. Yet, despite the Rh protein's importance in blood transfusion and the problems it can cause between Rh negative mothers and their Rh positive fetuses, its biological role has remained largely unresolved since its discovery 65 years ago
"This finding has implications for understanding how humans breathe, how we control the acidity of various fluids in our bodies, and how our kidneys function, all of which rely upon movement of CO2 across cell membranes," says Kustu. The researchers came to their conclusions by studying a humble green alga, Chlamydomonas reinhardtii, one of the few microorganisms known to have Rh. What do Rh proteins in green algae have to do with Rh proteins in humans? "It turns out that if you know the biochemical function of a protein, you know it," said Kustu.
"A protein's biochemical function does not change from organism to organism."Dr Richard Schulze, the great herbalist and natural healer, for example, has included the following superfoods in his Superfood Plus blend. He describes them as
“nature’s blood transfusion”.# Beetroot – excellent blood builder # Spinach Leaf – excellent blood builder
# Blue-Green Algae # Chlorella (Broken-Cell) Algae – said to have almost 40 times the amount of protein found in soybeans, and contains a wide variety of vitamins, minerals, trace elements, amino acids, essential fatty acids, carotenoids and other nutrients
# Spirulina – high in protein, and one of the best sources of beta-carotene known
# Alfafa Grass – very rich in vitamins and minerals
# Barley Grass – very rich in vitamins and minerals, and said to contain all the nutrients needed by Man
# Wheat Grass – very rich in vitamins, minerals and chlorophyll
