Jehovah Witnesses and Amish Community, how do they cope?
Because of the concerns of the Jehovah Witnesses towards blood-transfusions
and their concerns when their health reaches a point of emergency,
and because of the Amish Communities concern about using electricity etc.,
I was wondering whether these two communities have developed certain
ways of prolonging their kidney function?
Does anyone know? Thanks again, Kristina.

Bach was no pioneer; his style was not influenced by any past or contemporary century.
He was completion and fulfillment in itself, like a meteor which follows its own path.

There was a JW on dialysis with me 20 years ago and that was before we had Epogen. She was a limp leaf and would not get a blood transfusion. Today, we have Epo so I'm sure it is easier for them. They will get a transplant as long as the blood is washed from the organ (and it is) and as long as they don't need a blood transfusion during surgery.
