[Note from J: Although I have been donating blood to the Red Cross sI think it is better to use autologous blood for PRP...That means use your own blood. You need only two small vials of your own blood, spun down in a centrifuge (an instrument that costs between 2000 and 7000 dollars that can be used many, many times for lots of patients). PRP should be neither dangerous nor expensive in my well-researched but not medical opinion. Talk with your own doctor but know it does not have to cost much!]
