Donate blood.\nMany centers offer incentives.  There is much they need to know about your blood and so they perform numerous tests.  At your request, they may well offer that info to you.

Your bone marrow makes red blood cells and white blood cells all day long.  Your blood is never the same every day.  The cells die off all the time all day and night.  Donating blood is to give other people blood products like red blood cells, plasma and other things so that if they lose blood during surgery it can be replaced or if people are anemic and need it because their bone marrow is not producing enough for their bodies needs.  Hope this helps\n\n\nOMG bone marrow transplants are NOT for white blood cells. There are injectable medicines that they give people who do not have enough white blood cells that forces their own marrow to make more of the white blood cells.

I've never seen any place that donates for giving blood (unless you count a cookie and juice as payment). However, many places will pay you to donate plasma, which is not any more painful than giving blood despite what others here may tell you. It's more time consuming than giving blood, since you need to be examined first (which took a few hours) and it takes over an hour to donate plasma. But you can do it frequently (2x per week, I think) since your blood is returned to you immediately after the plasma is separated via the same needle.\n\nThe place where I used to do it in Iowa paid about $10-20 per week, with incentives like "if you donate 4 or more times per month, you get an extra $50."\n\nSo if that's something that interests you, call around in your area and you might have a plasma donation center close by. It's really not that big a deal and you'll save lives while earning money. \nGood luck.

Yes, but I haven't donated in years.  Last time I went in I was anemic, and then I was pregnant, and now with a 5 month old I haven't had time.  I love to donate blood, there is nothing better than knowing that with a little needle prick you could save someones life.

I believe it is a personal choice, I give blood as i am B positive, I am also on the bone marrow transplant reg, i have left my innards to ever who wants them,  Over the years I have donated over 50 pints of blood.\nYour question is very deep, peoples beliefs are precious to them, think of all the people that want to donate, blood and organs can not because of health issues and religion.\n Two questions for you do you give Blood/plasma are you on the donor register,\nAs my friend can not give blood anymore every other pint i donate i do it for her.

When you give blood the normal way without machinery you lose about a pound but don't count on keeping it off.  This is only temporary till you drink again and your body will take the opportunity to replace the fluids you lost.\n\nWhen you donate on machinery like with ALL plasma donations you can actually come out weighing more because you are being given a saline IV at the same time.\n\nThe machine I use takes out 360ml of blood from the body and returns 500ml of saline.\n\nBottom line, you will not lose weight from donating.

Donating blood isn't always as easy it seems. There is a screening process that everyone must go through before being able to do so. \n\nThere could be several reasons why you can't give blood. If you take medications, certain medicine prevents you from donating blood or if you do donate, your blood has to be given to someone who takes the same kind of medicine. For instance if you are on a keto-steroid such as cortisone which is taken for many reasons such as Asthma or glandular problems, you can not donate blood or plasma unless you are donating to someone who takes cortisone. \n\nYou also may not be able to donate because of the fact you had a brain hemorage which is a bleed from an artery in the brain. Even though the injury happened years agao, you still could have problems or health issues from that injury. Doctor's could be concerned taking blood from you could be dangerous to your health or possibly someone else's. \n\nAnother reason is you might not be healthy enough to donate. Blood and plasma donations require you to be as healthy as possible, such as no major disease like Hepatitis or AIDS. If you have a weak immune system and are prone to catching viruses or your general health just isn't top notch, the blood center can turn you away.\n\nTalk to your doctor or a blood donation center. If you really want to donate maybe there is something you can change in your daily life style that will allow you to do so, such as changing medications, exercising more, or eating healthy foods. \n\nIn the end however, you may just have to realize that your blood is tainted for some reason or another and you are not able to donate.

No.  The actual blood is not something that has a cash value in our society (plus it is illegal to sell blood).  However, you can possibly deduct the mileage or transportation fees necessary to get you to and from the donation.

No, not in any simple way - and not to only increase your platelet count.\n\nBut the levels do rise and fall throughout your life.\n\nUnless you have a clotting disease (and I think if you did your question would have mentioned it) just be happy that you can donate aphaeresis at all.  A single is still a wonderful gift of life.

Rules for autologous (for yourself) blood donation are much less strict than for regular donations.  You will have enough time for your body to bring back your white cell count (these fight infection) before your surgery.  Trust the staff at your local hospital.  They've been trained in this sort of thing!
