I will have another Blood Transfusion this Thursday.
I just had my cross matching earlier at the center.
It's been 3 months in a row now that I have a blood transfusion.
Looks like I needed it more often now.
So, I started my juicing earlier. And I tried calamansi (lemon)
They said it will help me boost up my hemoglobin because of its vitamin C.
A lot of patient in the center tried this and so far their hemoglobin is okay.
All I need to add a prayer that this will work because as much as possible I don't want to have another blood transfusion anymore.
How about you?
Did you try juicing too?
The photo is mine.

I love pear juice, but I'm not much into other juices.
Don't forget to add fat in your diet, because vitamin C only gets digested if you also have fat.
Nuts have good fat and also contain iron, that's also essential for good hemoglobin levels.
Lemon contains iron too. In fact lemonade tastes a little like iron, or blood.

@JustBhem Foods that contain fat, but I think you already have fat in your diet anyway.
We all do, fat is delicious! 
Vitamin C is fat-soluble, meaning it needs fat to melt itself and be digested.
Oil and nuts are sources of good fat, so is fish such as salmon and tuna.

I started juicing too three months ago to lose some weight. I hope this juice will help your condition, also eat lots of vegetables.

if you take a tablet to increase your hemoglobin level, it is just right for you to have vitamin C to boost the blood in to producing red blood corpuscles.
isn't it that every hemodialysis, a blood transfusion is necessary?

@JustBhem indeed .that is why there should be blood transfused for every hemodialysis (hemo- or hema- are prefixes of blood).

@ridingbet
Yes, because every session blood was taken from us and not blood gets back to our body.

Is it just pure squeezed lemon? I really hope it helps you!

I think because your kidneys do not produce enough erythropoetin your hemoglobin levels are down.

I like the drinks but not having to wash up all the parts of the juicer afterwards.

I couldn't drink straight lemon juice since it's so sour, but I could drink lemon water or lemonade. Is it straight lemon juice, or is there a sweet juice with it too?
