If you\u2019d 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.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=”@ET-DC@eyJkeW5hbWljIjp0cnVlLCJjb250ZW50IjoicG9zdF9tZXRhX2tleSIsInNldHRpbmdzIjp7ImJlZm9yZSI6IldoeSBpcyB0aGUgRnVsbHNjcmlwdCBhdC1ob21lIGJsb29kIHR5cGUgdGVzdCBraXQgbGlua2VkIHRvIHRoZSBCQkhCIFByZXNpZGVudD8iLCJhZnRlciI6IiIsIm1ldGFfa2V5IjoiIiwiZW5hYmxlX2h0bWwiOiJvZmYifX0=@” toggle_icon=”P||divi||400″ _builder_version=”4.18.0″ _dynamic_attributes=”title” _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” open=”off”]<\/p>\n Our President supports Fullscript\u2019s<\/a> 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.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=”Are at-home blood type tests accurate?” toggle_icon=”P||divi||400″ _builder_version=”4.18.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” open=”off”]Yes.

This is a specific type of autologous blood transfusion whereby a patient\u2019s 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.<\/p>\n 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.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_accordion_item][\/et_pb_accordion][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.18.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.18.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.18.0″ _module_preset=”default” header_3_font=”Inter|700||on|||||” header_3_text_align=”left” header_3_text_color=”#BC0D25″ header_3_line_height=”1.2em” header_3_text_align_tablet=”left” header_3_text_align_phone=”center” header_3_text_align_last_edited=”on|phone” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_accordion open_toggle_text_color=”#242124″ open_toggle_background_color=”#FFFFFF” closed_toggle_background_color=”#FFFFFF” toggle_icon=”P||divi||400″ icon_color=”#BC0D25″ module_class=”faq” _builder_version=”4.18.0″ _module_preset=”default” toggle_text_color=”#242124″ toggle_font=”Inter|700|||||||” toggle_font_size=”20px” toggle_line_height=”1.4em” body_font=”Inter|300|||||||” body_text_color=”#4A4554″ body_font_size=”17px” body_line_height=”1.6em” body_link_font=”||||||||solid” body_link_text_color=”#BC0D25″ global_colors_info=”{}” body_link_text_color__hover_enabled=”on|hover” body_link_text_color__hover=”#4A4554″][et_pb_accordion_item title=”Are you working with FLCCC, the Wellness Co, or Remote Health Solutions?” open=”on” toggle_icon=”P||divi||400″ _builder_version=”4.18.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]We are working diligently to make contact and connections with like-minded doctors, nurse practitioners, hospitals, and clinics.
