Bloodless Medicine Research
"Bloodless medicine" is a modern field of research which studies the available strategies
for providing medical care without allogeneic transfusions. In most cases this is undertaken
because of religious convictions, but not always. Any technological improvement, as well as any
therapeutic strategy, that permit the avoidance of the allogeneic blood, have to be carefully
followed in the universities. Our site propose to coordinate research in this field.

Medical Care and Blood
With good reason, many now ask, 'How safe are blood transfusions?' But this is more than a medical
issue. It has made news involving Jehovah's Witnesses. Have you wondered why these ethical people,
who believe in good medicine, refuse to accept blood?
