Re: I'm SICK of the RH Negative thread SLANDER.
Just wondering if a lot of you guys have freckles? My sister in law is a negative and she has freckles (reddish dark blond hair and bright blue eyes) my brother is A+ and all three of their kids are + and no freckles....?
 Quoting: woowoochic


Rh positive here, both parents positive. I have very red hair, a blue eye and a green eye, sun sensitivity and pale skin, and freckles.

In fact, here's what applies to me from this list.

• Most have stronger Immune systems.
• Most have Autoimmune Conditions and the HLA-B27 genetic marker.
• Most have fair skin and light eyed, in response to having Melanin imbalances and Vit. D Deficiencies
• Most process CO2 more efficiently
• Most tend to have Iron/Copper imbalances
• Missing the RhD protein that acts as a barrier on the red blood cells.
• Pregnancy issues and complications with the clashing of blood type within the fetus.

• A feeling of not belonging
• Truth seekers
• Sense of a "Mission" in life
• Empathy & Compassion for Mankind
• An extra rib or vertebra. No, but my o+ grandmother has an extra vertebra
• Higher than average IQ
• ESP Ability
• Love of Space & Science
• More sensitive vision & other senses.
• Increased of psychic/intuitive abilities
• Cannot be cloned
• Lower body temperature
• Higher blood pressure (some say lower either way one extreme to another never quite right)
• Predominantly blue, green, or Hazel eyes
• Red or reddish tint to hair color
• Increased sensitivity to heat & sunlight
• Unexplained Scares
• Piercing Eyes
• Tend to be Healers
• Empathetic Illnesses
• Ability to disrupt electrical devices
• Prone to Alien Abductions
• Experience unexplained phenomenon
• Physic Dreams and/or Ability

You're a so called half breed? You may be both + and - , and your parent may both be + - . In this case chances are you get + and theres like a 25 percent chance for you to have - offspring. No expert so correct me if i'm wrong.

Isn't that a neat little way to dismiss anyone who's + that doesn't fit into the the-o-ry, especially since the Rh factor was only discovered 60 years ago so most of us can't trace it back more than a generation or two. What about countries where the Rh- is so rare it's almost non-existent? Does no one there share these "traits"?

I can tell you that both my parents are positive and that neither set of grandparents or great-grandparents had any pregnancy problems resembling Rh incompatibility.

No, it isn't. I have brown eyes but I carry the gene for blue eyes because my grandmother had blue eyes. This doesn't mean that I have some of the characteristics that people with blue eyes have because the gene is not expressed! Sure, lots of people carry the Rh neg gene but if it isn't expressed, it isn't there, period.

So, I am agreeing with the Canadian person who is arguing this with me. - on this point -

Re: I'm SICK of the RH Negative thread SLANDER.
Hi Joshua, good to see you on the forums again.

I think that the idea of following up the theories with a bit of investigation into evidence based research would be an interesting exercise.

One point that jumps at me from these threads in a positive way (he he) is that people are beginning to question what we have always been told, or not told, by the appointed 'experts' and 'professionals'.

I see this debate as a great opportunity for all of us to get thinking about what we accept as 'true' or 'not true' with regards to our own bodies, health, origins etc ... and that goes for all, regardless of blood type or racial heritage.

 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 12100946

I know that's you. I don't fully buy into that whole list. Some person plastered that list all over the internet. As you noted before, sometimes it says "high" blood pressure, sometimes "low". It says most will have "light features", while I have dark features etc.

I don't think there can be a direct link between, say, eye color and blood type. I'm betting those two are extremely far removed from each other.

There are some pretty compelling ones though, like "cannot be cloned", OK that's heavy - though I've never sat next to a geneticist and watched him prove that to me.

Let's look at what can be proven:

OK, If I get a blood transfusion from a normal human, I will DIE. This means that the blood of normal humans is different enough from my own to cause death. That's a pretty damned big difference and it is not the only one. It isn't just that Rh negs will die, it's that our females (god I love them) will kill Rh positive babies in their wombs because it's like giving birth to another species. We can argue this until the bovines return to their registered addresses, but these are facts.

However, the less noticeable ones, like faster reaction times: [link to en.wikipedia.org]

(scroll down to "Origin of RHD polymorphism")

that stuff is ever so BARELY mentioned anywhere but it's completely TRUE. If I take a test of reaction speed with an Rh positive, I will completely destroy him or her, PERIOD.

BUT, an Rh positive will be better defended from the parasites listed (on the same page) and also have better over all stamina for running, swimming etc. (endurance type stuff) Let me be clear: An Rh positive will completely destroy me in a test of stamina and endurance because my blood cells lack the ion pump (the Rh protein) so I get tired quickly. However, this lack of a protein also has other advantages. For example, adrenalin which uptakes into the blood cell to provide bursts of speed and strength HAS NO BARRIER with Rh negatives, and I'M TELLING YOU I'm stronger than you with or without the "fight or flight" response by virtue of the simple fact that my blood has no barrier whatsoever to the uptake of adrenalin, or anything else for that matter.

BUT, in everyday tests of strength, YOU will be WAY stronger than me, AND last longer than me because your cells regulate everything far more efficiently than mine.

So you're awesome, and I'm awesome - but it's different!

That's very interesting about reaction time. I think that bacteria, parasites and viruses play a much larger part in our evolution than we realize. I think that they may even be responsible for the development of the antigens that we call blood types, through new foods and methods of preparation. We see "clusters" because of geography separating breeding groups. I think it will be very interesting to see how blood types change as we become more "global".

One last thing - I really, really doubt I would be stronger than you in everyday tests of strength. I have rheumatoid arthritis, systemic scleroderma, primary biliary cirrhosis, sjogren's syndrome and fibromyalgia. wink

Re: I'm SICK of the RH Negative thread SLANDER.
I was looking for the post to quote saying that Rh- mothers reject the Rh+ fetus as if it was another species. That isn't true. Look at the mule or hiney - it is a distinct species that is born to either a donkey or a horse and it is not rejected by the mother. It just can't reproduce.

Also, I can't blood from anyone but O types. My body will react to the antigens and reject it and I might well die. I am, for all intents and purposes, allergic to all other blood types because I lack the antibodies against the antigens they carry, much like Rh incompatibility. The only difference is that there's no rejection in pregnancy.

Re: I'm SICK of the RH Negative thread SLANDER.
One last thing, I know two Rh- mothers who gave birth to multiple Rh+ children without RhoGAM (no blood products for religious reasons) and without a Rh incompatibility reaction. Anecdotal evidence that could lead me to believe that the whole thing is hogwash, but I still believe it is real because of the overwhelming, verifiable evidence that it does.

Unfortunately, you are conducting a huge fallacy by assuming that such equines have similarities to humans, which is false (I'd love to see you try to outrun a galloping horse on foot). That is why we have human drug trials as animal testing is a faux pas and cannot accurately mimic the metabolism of the human body.

Additionally, you're making a fallacy in comparison. Horses and mules are two different species. Rh negatives and rh positives are of the same species, but with different bloodtypes. There's a big difference between a difference in species and a difference in bloodtype.


Proof of the miscarriages is in the RHogam's shots existence. The term is 'Rh disease', although this is a misnomer as it makes one think it's some sort of infection, when it's an immunity issue. The biological process (Rh negative blood's infamiliarity with the antigen-D (Antibody-generating - where antigen comes from) results in the whites cells of the Rh negative blood attacking the Rh positive blood).

The same process applies to blood transfusions. An A bloodtype will reject a B blood-type as it carries the B antigen marker, which the A blood-type is not familiar with, and thus sees as hostile.

 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 12100946


If you can't receive blood from anyone but O types, then you're an O-type blood carrier. Although you haven't mentioned whether you're Rh positive, given the lack of distinction (you can receive any(?) O type?) I'd assume you're Rh positive.


You're taking your anti-Rh negative zeal thing a bit too far that you're throwing out established facts (the miscarriages are established, well documented and proven - look it up online).


As for the 'not always a miscarriage', that's because it requires that part of the baby's blood be Rh positive (Rh negatives won't miscarry on Rh negative child), and that it passes the blood barrier of the placenta - and the immune system has to actually identify the red cells are Antigen-D and make (generate) antibodies for it - once the antibody markers are created, then miscarriage is likely. If the rh positive blood does not pass the blood barrier of the placenta, the child should be fine, but it is a risk.

When you say, "I can't blood from anyone but O types" you are still at a better advantage, because I cannot even get blood from people with the same blood type as me unless they too are Rh negative.

You are saying that Rh- mothers do not reject Rh+ babies? Surely you know they do...right? (don't call you Shirley?)
[link to www.nlm.nih.gov]

You have the correct information conceived in the wrong way. We are not saying that an Rh negative woman is likened to a female horse giving birth to a mule, or like a female donkey giving birth to a hinny. We are saying that an Rh negative mother IS the mule or the hinny trying to give birth where the other genes come from a horse or donkey. (An Rh pos. person as the partner in reproduction)

You said "cannot reproduce", well that's the entire point here. Rh negative mothers CAN reproduce an Rh+ child ONCE, and the only reason is that the Rh negative mother's immune system isn't fast enough to become Rh sensitized in the time it takes to have one child. The second time around, with no Rhogam, the mother cannot reproduce - is what we are saying.

So you're right, but in the wrong way.

When your ignorant ass uses terms like MONKEY and posts insulting pics, you might as well be saying those things to your own Rh+ (or half-breed or whatever distinction you need to make in your mind) child.

there are FACTS that most Neg's share at a higher percentage then the rest of the world.
Then there are fun facts that most Negs share at a higher percentage then the rest of the world.

You can argue with your medical bullshit all day, but the medical professionals have not been of any service or have any understanding of majority of these things. but that dosn't make it any less true to the high percentage of Negs going through it.

so you're points are invalid.

Sorry, you can't kick me out of a public forum. Maybe you should have brought it on your paid site? That's what open-minded discussion is all about - questioning blind acceptance and agreement.

I believe Joshua covered the whole "fact" vs "not fact" very nicely. Are they really FACTS? Have there been actual studies that are publicly available?

I will argue medical bullshit all day, if we're talking about medical things. another do

The medical profession does in fact understand and they have done stuff for you. Maybe they're not perfect (oh hey they're humans after all) and maybe you got stuck with a doctor who didn't give your situation his all. Or maybe she did and she did the best she could. But don't pretend that they don't care about Rh issues. Don't forget, they came up with the shot that allows you to give birth to Rh+ children.

There is a lot of miscommunication here. We're both saying the same thing. I wish I could find that post to quote. Poster said "can't give birth to a + baby, rejects it like it was a different species." We're both saying the same thing, that's not how giving birth to another species works.

I'm saying I'm O+ and I will reject A, B, and AB blood just as sure as you will. However, I will not have the complications seen in Rh incompatible pregnancies. I am well aware of this problem and I fully believe in its existence. I didn't say "cannot reproduce". Nor is it like a hiney/mule and a horse/donkey. The hiney/mule is born sterile. And I am saying the mother CAN reproduce with a 2nd Rh+ child without the shot. It is dangerous, but it CAN be done and was done in the past before the advent of the shot. It is done regularly in religious communities. Only about 5% of 2nd Rh+ babies will suffer from Rh disease without the shot. 5% is too high when we're talking about life and death, so the shot was developed. So, no, it is not the same as horses and donkeys at all.

[link to en.wikipedia.org]

The same process occurs between blood types regardless of Rh factor, but the effects are mild, so we don't consider it a problem.

Actually, it is the mixing of the blood at birth that triggers it. If no blood mixes, then no immunity is built up and the mother can have another Rh+ child without a problem.

I'm sorry, semantics. They make a big difference. "...the second child may be aborted."

I don't mean to downplay the risk of Rh disease, but I don't want to paint it to be something it's not. There is a big difference between "likely" and "may" and that difference can lead to such things as believing it is impossible and that an Rh- female cannot reproduce with an Rh+ male. I know this sounds arrogant and nitpicky, but it is a very important distinction to make.

The important distinction for ME....was when my doctor told me that my body would reject the unborn child that had rh-positive blood, as a foreign substance.

THIS has been the very root of my research into this matter.

Because for a human female to reject her own unborn child is a freak of nature....it is not at ALL how nature works.

So, what the HELL is UP with that?!? Why is it that this happens? What are the implications?

A male and female of the same species - in EVERY species - can reproduce predictably and reliably.....

Except in the case of this blood factor.

In the definition of life - predictable and reliable reproduction is a qualifier....at LEAST that is what I was taught in school about this type of thing.

I want to know WHY. Why is such a thing possible when to reproduce is such a natural function?

If I stick with everything I've ever learned about science in school....the ONLY alternative is for me to go with the disparity of species.

Can you not see how this is a total mind f*&%? If there is enough speciel disparity, than the mother's immune system will attack the unborn baby.

Either school was correct - and Rh factor is a speciel difference....OR there is an alternative science which can explain this.

For myself...this is what has always driven my search for answers.
