    Adding to the ACKSHSCHUALLYies…

    If you have hemochromatosis, and you get sick from it, you probably should be asking about bloodletting. Regular bloodletting is one of the most effective and cost-efficient treatment options available to reduce or prevent the myriad of complications caused by this health condition.

      Sometimes leeches are used for this, even in modern hospitals

        if i’m not mistaken leeches inject an anticoagulant as well, which is a nice cost-saving measure. ;)
