well as much as the Porphuria Foundation and modern Porphs like todeny it--the heme in blood does NOT break down in the digestive
process. But you know if people thot we really were vampires there
would even less founding than we have now. I have heard raw liver is
very good for this. CSI even did a show about an insane dietician
with Porphyria who personally trained athletes and then killed them
to eat them(Kinda like the witch in Hansel and Gretel) and the
Porphyria Foundation liked to have a cow. Chlorophyll is close to the
function of Heme in plants--no one knows exactly how it works or not
in humans for the same thing. Right now the only way to get Heme is
in transfusion (called infusion actually) and it is dangerous because
it can cause immediate side-effects by making a person's body do what
it has not ever done--even if it is the right thing to do. Alot of
strokes and cardiac risks. Plus, there is always a threat of
contamination of the blood supply--however if this goes thru the
digestive process alot of risks are reduced--so it still comes back
to drinking blood. The whole idea makes me feel sick, I have never
done it. But if I did and it made me feel better- I might be tempted
to keep it up.
You could email me off-forum about Porph if you like and if you have
some suggestions in the enzyme-line of thinking. I don't want to
offend anyone here.
