Marc,

We tried herbs and acupuncture as alternative therapies but didn't really see any significant improvement. That being said, I still believe both of these treatments were beneficial in making our son feel better and keeping his organs healthier.

I think that it might be helpful for you to start asking about the freshness of the blood products you are receiving. RBCs have a fairly long shelf life- we were usually able to get units with nearly a month left before expiring. If you are getting RBCs that are expiring within a week, the bump you get may not last as long as it could.
