What's the deal with drinking blood? Anyone experimented?

I've drunk blood quite often, as I get my raw organs/wild hares in vacuum-packed plastic, so there's always lots of blood in them. Trouble is, I only like the taste of blood from wild animals such as the wild hares - blood from grassfed beef etc. just isn't the same.

I find raw blood gives me a real lift energy-wise, perhaps because of the iron in it, among other trace elements?

If blood has all that salt, then why is salt toxic - as Dr. AV claims???

The point is that there are natural salts in blood(and in other raw food) so that one doesn't need extra artificial salt from nonorganic sources, and ingesting too much salt, especially from nonorganic sources, is not a good idea - the amounts of natural salts in blood and other raw foods are small enough so as not to be an issue.

Thats what I don't get; why do we drink water with minerals (organic or nonorganic?) in and why do animals have all that salt in there blood?

Why is salt artificial and nonorganic?

My grandfather (England) died in the night (96 years old) and they said he was dehydrated! Well that is a symptom and I wonder what is behind it.

I just don't know what to "believe"; Lex is using salt and things (tests, colon) seem to be healthy. The next person does not eat salt and claims the same and a nother one is in a mess...

Salt in raw food is from an organic source, salt from rocks or the sea was never eaten in Palaeolithic times(at least not until very near the Neolithic) and is from an inorganic source. Mineral-water is different:- first of all, it can contain dissolved organic substances if taken from untouched rivers, not processed etc., but the inorganic minerals in mineral-water are also fine as drinking water without any organic minerals in it would involve drinking distilled water which is very harmful to one's health, long-term.

Alright here's a question...

On another forum, the drinking of blood came up and I mentioned that I drink the blood from my defrosted meats and organs.
Someone said that this was not blood, but in fact "meat juices"
Is that true, or am I actually drinking the blood?

Meat-juices are blood, by definition, if they're reddish. Blood lies in the meat.

Good, that's what I thought.
Thanks for the confirmation

If you're talking store bought meat (as opposed to a fresh kill) then over 99% of the blood is drained out before it gets to you.  My understanding is that what's left is intersitial fluid and cytosol colored mainly by myoglobin.
