Phlebotomy therapy for blood optimization
Phlebotomy blood optimization consists of a blood donation routine (with a maximum of 5 times a year) to improve the health and vitality of the organs. The effects are achieved thanks to the renewal of blood cells.
Donating blood has multiple benefits. It reduces the oncological risk, limits the possibility of developing cardiac pathologies and prevents hemochromatosis.
The risk of having a heart attack is reduced by up to a third with regular phlebotomy, since there is more regeneration of blood cells and the oxidation of cholesterol is slowed down.
Reduction of heart disease
Donating blood can lower your risk of heart disease by 33% and heart attack risk by 88%.
Body weight management
Donating blood regularly can help with body weight management. Each transfusion uses stored energy and is estimated to burn up to 650 calories.
Prevention of liver damage
Phlebotomy removes excess circulating iron from the blood and prevents its deposit in the liver or pancreas. This is the mechanism of hemochromatosis, a chronic pathology that is treated precisely with phlebotomies. An iron-saturated liver leads to cirrhosis and liver failure.
Cholesterol reduction
The renewal of blood cells prevents part of the cholesterol from being oxidized. Oxidized cholesterol is the one that is deposited in the form of plaques in the arteries, causing clots. This also explains why phlebotomies reduce the risk of heart attacks.
Decreased risk of cancer
Removing excess of iron with regular blood donations reduces the risk of cancer. This includes cancer of the liver, lungs, intestines and throat. Iron in excess favors the accumulation of free radicals in the body. These reactive substances accelerate aging and promote the appearance of mutations.
