So I starting the 30-day raw challenge and I just realized that one of my modes of income may be in jeparody. I donate plasma while on SAD twice a week for 40 dollars. All personal opinions aside, will being raw make it any more unhealthy to donate?


I always donate faster and with less weakness when I eat better foods rather then greasy stuff anyways so I am hoping it will only help.

There's your answer.

I really don't understand the question. How can eating healthier, i.e., getting more nutrients possibly "make it any more unhealthy to donate?" I'm missing something in the question right?

I guess I am just worried about fainting in the room, I am sure it is all the stereotypes in my mind about vegan etc acting out right now. Probably a stupid question I am just worried about my health.

O.k., so now I'm clear on the question. Still not clear on your asking it as you answer it in your own statement: "I always donate faster and with less weakness when I eat better foods rather then greasy stuff anyways....."

And, so, you faint. You'll be laying down, no? (shows how much I know about giving blood). :rolleyes:

Don't let the monkey mind interfere with what you know. You'll be fine.

I also give plasma. You will be fine. Just make sure to drink plenty of water before and after (Don't over do it though). Also make sure to get plenty of dark greens. You need to keep iron levels high or they will not let you donate. The greens will be enough.

You won't believe the nice clear color of the plasma. Trust me this is going to make it easier than before.

BTW...A great way to get your greens is with a Green Smoothie. These things are great. If you need to know how to make one, let me know. It's as easy as falling from a bike.

Good Luck on your journey. :D
