Author	Topic: Blood, skin, healing times

To my surpise I only dripped a few drops of blood. In the past, I would have bled about 10 to 20 times the amount of blood. (my estimation). The blood was also very brightly colored, clear and actually kind of pretty to look at. Usually I am very stressed at viewing my own blood. Does the raw diet change the blood, your skin or healing time? Is there any data on average hemoglobin or other factors in relationship to blood quality and a raw diet centered around fruit? Why would I bleed less than 'usual'. The only thought I can think of is Vitamin K from avocados, egg yolks and what is produced in the gut, but is there any other known factor(s)? The wound is almost completely healed just one week after the cut was made.
