Those damn forum demons have been up to their tricks again...
I had a lot of information that didn't post...picking up from after corresponding with Mr. Starr...
I re-read Mr. Starr's book and, after putting together everything I had learned up to that point about blood and bloodless methods, I realized that Starr had given the information as to who and where the notions of blood management would have found fertile ground right around the time that the WTS banned blood transfusions. Keep in mind that 'blood management' uses micro sampling and methods to improve the clotting ability of blood.
WW2 saw many advancements in how blood transfusions were administered and used. A Canadian doctor had developed the method of blood banking that would be used for Allied troops and, combined with Dr. Cohn's discovery on how to fractionate blood, it put the Allies at the head of the race to use blood to save lives.
The rest of the world was trying to find a reliable donor source - the Russians experimented with cadaver blood and the Japanese were using horse blood in their medical experiments.
In the meantime, the German medical doctors were experimenting with ways to stop bleeding. Avoiding the possibility of contaminating their 'pure Aryan blood lines', the German concentrated on developing formulas that would clot blood - they injected Russian soldiers with clotting formulas, shot them and then timed how long it took them to die. Germany lagged way behind in blood transfusion technology - when they did resort to using blood, they often didn't give enough.
The roots of bloodless surgery found fertile ground in the philosophies and methods of the German doctors who supported the Nazi war machine.
In fact, Dr. Felix Kersten, Heinrich Himmler's doctor, practiced the deep massage that was known as bloodless surgery to the chiropractors that he had learned his craft from. Dr. Felix Kersten has been advertised by the WTS as the 'hero of the JWs' during WW2.
Where did the blood transfusion ban originate?
From the Germans. It arose out of the German WW2 medical teams that were trying to find a way to keep the Aryan blood lines pure.
And, yup...that sure sounds like the conspiracy theory to beat all conspiracy theories, doesn't it?
Lol! Just throw the Nazi connection into anything and you will be sure to get labelled "crazy.
*sorry, Millie...my editing put your comment out of place. Yes...it is pretty crazy...about as crazy as 8 million people listening to the WTS.
