Do you have Hepatitis B? Want do help others and earn some extra income? Donate plasma!

Do you currently have “acute” or
“Chronic” hepatitis B?
 

 If so, we have a specialty research program
designed to help you as well as the research and diagnostic communities. 
Your plasma is a crucial component for invitro-diagnostic companies in the
manufacturing and creation of the test kits used to diagnose patients with this
virus as well as further research into the virus.

Participants who qualify and
participate can earn up to $500 per visit and you can safely donate 2x in a 7-day
period based on the FDA guidelines for donor safety.  Plasma is the
yellow, watery substance in the red blood cells which house various proteins as
well as the antibodies for your diagnosis.  The plasma is separated via a
procedure called plasmapheresis and your red blood cells are returned to you
which is why you can donate 2x in a 7-day period.  Donating plasma is a
very safe and simple procedure and it is performed in licensed, FDA regulated
plasma facilities under the direction of the center’s medical director.

How is HBV transmitted?

HBV is transmitted through
activities that involve percutaneous (i.e., puncture through the skin) or
mucosal contact with infectious blood or body fluids (e.g., semen and saliva),
including

  • sex with an infected partner;
  • injection-drug use that involves sharing needles,
    syringes, or drug-preparation equipment;
  • birth to an infected mother;
  • contact with blood from or open sores on an infected
    person;
  • exposures to needle sticks or sharp instruments; and
  • sharing certain items with an infected person that can
    break the skin or mucous membranes (e.g., razors, toothbrushes, and
    glucose monitoring equipment), potentially resulting in exposure to blood.

What is Plasma?

Plasma is the largest part of your blood. It makes up more than half (about
55%) of its overall content. When separated from the rest of the blood, plasma
is a light-yellow liquid. Plasma carries water, salts and enzymes.

The main role of plasma is to take nutrients, hormones, and proteins to the
parts of the body that need it. Cells also put their waste products into the
plasma. The plasma then helps remove this waste from the body. Blood plasma
also carries all parts of the blood through your circulatory system.

Plasma is a critical part of the treatment for many serious health problems.
This is why there are blood drives asking people to donate blood plasma.

Along with water, salt, and enzymes, plasma also contains important
components. These include antibodies, clotting factors, and the proteins
albumin and fibrinogen. When you donate blood, healthcare providers can
separate these vital parts from your plasma. These parts can then be
concentrated into various products. These products are then used as treatments
that can help save the lives of people suffering from burns, shock, trauma, and
other medical emergencies.

The proteins and antibodies in plasma are also used in therapies for rare
chronic conditions. These include autoimmune disorders and hemophilia. People
with these conditions can live long and productive lives because of the
treatments. In fact, some health organizations call plasma “the gift of
life.”

Donating Plasma

If you want to donate plasma to help others in need, you will go through a
screening process. This is to make sure your blood is healthy and safe. If you
qualify as a plasma donor, you’ll spend about an hour and a half at a clinic on
every follow-up visit.

During the actual blood donation process, your blood is drawn through a
needle placed in a vein in one arm. A special machine separates the plasma and
often the platelets from your blood sample. This process is called
plasmapheresis. The remaining red blood cells and other blood components are
then returned to your body, along with a little saline (salt) solution.

Are you currently suffering/recovering from Mono? Want to help others while earning some extra income?

Do you currently have Mono?

If you, do we need you to donate plasma to help others… Plasma is a crucial component in the manufacturing of the very test kit(s) that were used to diagnose you. Without donors like you these kits may not be available when physicians, hospitals and laboratories need them to diagnose someone else.

Plasma is very similar to donating whole blood but you can do it more frequently (2x in a 7-day period) because you are getting your red blood cells back thru the process.  Participants who qualify will earn $200 per donation and any/all travel related expenses to get you to/from a donation center are pre-paid by us and you still earn your compensation.  Most donors have temporary relief of symptoms since we are taking the plasma part of the red blood cells which house the antibodies lessening the number of antibodies for mono from your system.

Do you have RA? Want to help others while earning some extra income?

Do you have, or do you know someone who has RA/Rheumatoid Arthritis? 

 We are currently looking for participants who have RA to participate in a plasma donation program to help others.  Your plasma is need for the research and diagnostic communities to further research the disease as well as to manufacture the positive controls for the very test kit(s) that we used in your diagnosis.


Without antibody rich plasma these very kits run a risk of going on back order and not be available when healthcare professionals need them to make a timely diagnosis of other patients.  Plasma is a crucial component in the test kits to make the diagnosis possible of other patients.  Plasmapheresis is the process of separating the plasma (the yellowish colored liquid) from the red blood cells which house the antibodies for your diagnosis. 

 During the process your red cells are returned to you allowing you to not only donate more frequently but also not running the risk of causing temporary anemia.  Whole blood donors are only allowed to donate every 56 days (8 weeks) as it takes this long for your body to replace the blood cells that were donated, however with plasma you get these cells back allowing you to donate plasma twice within a 7 day period.


Participants who qualify can earn up to $500 per donation, or up to $1000 per week simply by donating plasma and helping others.  If we don’t have a center near you, we pay all travel related expenses to get you to/from the nearest center and you still earn your compensation for the donation.
What we look at to qualify you is your Rheumatoid Factor levels which is called your “titer” and we need that value/number to be at or above 1000/Iu/ml on your test results.

Plasma Research Program for patients with Acute/new Lyme diagnosis

 

Have you
recently been diagnosed with “active” (acute) Lyme disease? 

 Do you want to help others?  We have a
unique plasma donation program just for you.  Your plasma is needed for
further research by researchers and diagnostic companies to research the
disease as well as to manufacture your plasma into the controls for test kits
to diagnose others.

Participants will donate
plasma which is very similar to donating blood like at a red cross but you can
do this twice in a 7-day period because you get your red blood cells back thru
this process/procedure.  If you qualify you will be compensated $500 each
time you donate and all/any travel related expenses are pre-paid by us so you
can participate at no cost to you.

To learn more visit us at
http://www.accessclinical.com or call us at 800-510-4003 to speak to an agent today
about the program.

Must have, or have access to
your Lyme disease blood work (test results)

Must be 18-65 years in age
and weigh at least 110 pounds or more

Must be HIV/HCV & HBV
Negative

Diagnosis
and Testing

This report describes the proper
interpretation of serologic testing for B. burgdorferi and
identifies best practices for reporting results to clinicians, public health
agencies, and patients.

When
assessing a patient for Lyme disease, health care providers should consider:

·       
The signs
& symptoms of
Lyme disease

·       
The
likelihood that the patient has been exposed to infected blacklegged ticks

·       
The
possibility that other illnesses may cause similar symptoms

·       
Results
of laboratory tests, when indicated

 

Laboratory testing

 

CDC currently
recommends a two-step testing process for Lyme disease. Both steps are required
and can be done using the same blood sample. If this first step is negative, no
further testing is recommended. If the first step is positive or indeterminate
(sometimes called “equivocal”), the second step should be performed. The
overall result is positive only when the first test is positive (or equivocal)
and the second test is positive (or for some tests equivocal).

Early Signs
and Symptoms (3 to 30 Days After Tick Bite)

  • Fever,
    chills, headache, fatigue, muscle and joint aches, and swollen lymph nodes
    may occur in the absence of rash
  • Erythema migraines
    (EM) rash
    • Occurs in
      approximately 70 to 80 percent of infected persons
    • Begins at
      the site of a tick bite after a delay of 3 to 30 days (average is about 7
      days)
    • Expands
      gradually over several days reaching up to 12 inches or more (30 cm)
      across
    • May feel
      warm to the touch but is rarely itchy or painful
    • Sometimes
      clears as it enlarges, resulting in a target or “bull’s-eye” appearance
    • May appear
      on any area of the body
    • Does not always
      appear as a “classic” erythema migraines rash

If you want to donate plasma to help others in need, you will go through a
screening process. This is to make sure your blood is healthy and safe. If you
qualify as a plasma donor, you’ll spend about an hour and a half at a clinic on
every follow-up visit.

During the actual blood donation process, your blood is drawn through a
needle placed in a vein in one arm. A special machine separates the plasma and
often the platelets from your blood sample. This process is called
plasmapheresis. The remaining red blood cells and other blood components are
then returned to your body, along with a little saline (salt) solution.
