CONTACT YOUR STATE LEGISLATOR:

Do you have information available that can be shared with our State Representatives?
We are actively working on drafting legislation to be able to share with our members, who in turn can pass it on to their State Representatives in all fifty states. We welcome any help you are able to provide with this process. Please email info@blessedbyhisblood.com if that is something you are able to help us move forward on.

General:
How does the BBHB matching process work?
Potential members apply for a membership. Once approved, they can refer other potential members. When you are an official BBHB member, you can “request a match” [open case] if you require a blood donor.
What state is BBHB located in?
BBHB does not have a physical location. Our officers and board members are nationwide.
I cannot/do not want to receive text messages. May I still participate?
Yes. Please add info@blessedbyhisblood.com and membership@blessedbyhisblood.com to your contacts to ensure delivery of emails to your inbox. BBHB will utilize both email and texting to communicate with members.
How will BBHB prevent infiltration by those with opposing agendas?
BBHB cannot guarantee that we will not be infiltrated. However, we have and we will continue to take steps to protect our co-op. Some of the steps we have taken are:
- Implementing a referral process.
- Creating a mandatory covenant to be signed by each applicant.
- Verification that a member has not received any treatment(s) that make(s) them ineligible to donate blood. This can be provided by a professional medical care provider, naturopath, chiropractor, licensed health professional, or your immunization record.
Are members invited to any board meetings?
All BBHB members will be notified of meeting dates via email two weeks in advance.
How do co-op members submit a question for the meetings?
Members must submit questions to info@blessedbyhisblood.com 72 hours before the meeting.
Who can vote on proposed issues during meetings?
Each adult member receives one share of the co-op thereby entitling them to one vote.
How do I know that BBHB will protect my privacy?
BBHB will never sell or distribute any member’s personal information for any reason.
How do I terminate my membership?
If you would like to terminate your membership before the renewal date, please email info@blessedbyhisblood.com and our team will help you.
Will the website have a login to find members nearby?
No. Members will not have access to locate other members. BBHB will never distribute member’s personal information for any reason. BBHB will be the only contact between members unless absolutely necessary to facilitate a match.
How many BBHB members live in my region?
BBHB is developing an interactive map for our website. The map will only indicate the quantity of blood types in each region, no personal information will be visible.

Know your blood type:
What if I don’t know my blood type?
BBHB offers a link for an at-home blood type test kit through Fullscript. If you’d rather have your blood typed professionally, find out from a lab (Quest or LabCorp) near you what is required to be tested. It is not mandatory that you buy an at-home kit, but it is mandatory that you provide documentation of your blood type. That information can be provided from your medical records, a doctor’s statement, Red Cross card, birth certificate, military tags, or another at-home test that you may have taken in the past.
Why is the Fullscript at-home blood type test kit linked to the BBHB President?
Our President supports Fullscript’s products and has generously agreed to donate any proceeds received from kits purchased through the BBHB link to support the infrastructure of the co-op.
Are at-home blood type tests accurate?
I am ineligible to donate according to the Red Cross standards or my medical history. Can I still become a member?
BBHB Blood Type Matching:
How can I donate blood to other BBHB Members?
We will reach out to you via email or text if you are a match. At this time, BBHB is not able to *store blood (similar to how the Red Cross works), so that requires members to be readily available to donate.
Will BBHB pay for me to travel to donate or receive blood?
If I am matched, who is responsible for any costs related to the directed donation?
How can I find a donor near me?
Why didn’t I get matched for a blood donation?
What if there is no one in my area to donate?
What if I need a blood transfusion in an emergency?
Testing Blood For Signs of mRNA Modification:
Why can’t blood be screened to see if someone has taken a COVID injection?
How does one prove they have “clean blood” if they are not referred by an active BBHB member?
BBHB will consider a statement from your professional medical care provider. It does not have to be from an MD, but it does have to be from a trustworthy provider. You can ask your provider to look for the code that indicates vaccination status. They can use that information to make an informed decision to write you a statement. If you need help finding a provider, a good place to start is GraithCare.

What is IOS?
Intraoperative blood salvage (IOS), also referred to as a “cell-saver”. This is a specific type of autologous blood transfusion whereby a patient’s own blood that is lost during surgery is recycled back to the patient. This method has been used for many years and the machine used is known as a cell-saver.
As your blood cycles through the machine, unneeded fat and tissue are washed away, red blood cells are separated out, and the blood is then returned to the patient. Using the cell-saver is safer because there is a greatly reduced risk of infection as well as the fact that the red blood cells are less damaged than those coming from donated blood. Additionally, using the cell- saver is much cheaper than the current cost per unit of banked blood. An autologous donation or use of the cell-saver should be your first request if your physician or surgeon tells you that you may need a transfusion during a surgical procedure.
BBHB Partners, Collaborators, and Like-minded Associates:
Are you working with FLCCC, the Wellness Co, or Remote Health Solutions?
Phase I + Beyond For BBHB:
Are there any other Phases in the BBHB Rollout Plans (beyond Phase I)?
Yes. The development of BBHB is entirely dependent upon BBHB Membership growth and financial donors. Our board members have already had conversations about storing blood for emergency use. We have also had discussions about the storage of eggs, sperm, breast milk, and possibly even organ donations. We have had many requests about “matchmaking” for singles, and we will do our best to address this issue, (as we understand the importance it plays in many people’s lives). We will focus more on partnering with clinics and independent hospitals (not corporately run) throughout the U.S.A. who are eager to be a part of this endeavor, and we will be calling on BBHB members who are available and willing to advocate throughout the U.S.A.
