Answers:
Well, I am sure you could in some way!. There are lots of things people need blood for!. They can use albumin from your blood, or packed red blood cells!. Although with the high iron they may not be able to use all of your blood!. Getting it drawn would help control it though!. Call them and find out!Www@Answer-Health@Com
