In 2001 prior to anything being know about blood fractions the HLC was basically useless to us through they were there at the hospital with us when our son was injured in an car accident. He had no suggestions and later I learned that some of the witnesses (2) had been approved to hemopure an experimental blood substitute new developed. The HLC knew nothing of it and our son died. I was angry and frustrated when I began to really look at the new developing teachings about the use of fractions.
I hate the SOB governing body for their ignorance, and this stupid no blood transfusion rule they continue to support. My ex husband told our son that now they can store and use their own blood. So far as I know that is still forbidden unless something has changed in the very recient guildlines.
