life insurance policy?

A friend just went for life insurance and was tested and found he had low red blood cell count. I was under the impression AAS would raise your red blood cell count, but regardless he is being denied his policy. What can he do to raise his red blood cell count he's been clean for 17 months now.

A low RBC count could be a result of other underlying health issues...if he's been off the sauce for about a year and a half, there would be no reason to suspect that his RBC count should be still elevated as a result of AAS use.

I think further diagnostics should be preformed to root out the cause of his low RBC count.

Good luck,

I had to give a blood sample for life insurance a couple of months ago. I was running a little Exemestane and it found elevated total liver enzymes (by 1 point) with all over liver levels ok and LOW cholesterol (by 1 point) with all other cholester levels ok.

I quit the Exemestane, added some milk thistle and switched to another company.
