Westernaires; Arthur and a Friend" comes at the in book on Events in the Uintah Basin are the focus of a new book released last spring by Aspen Leaf Press of Woodland Park, Colo, and written by Joleen Swain Ottosen, daughter of Orville and Ora May Swain. The book named, "The Blood Conspiracy: How to Avoid Getting AIDS and Hepatitis in a Transfusion," is a professionally researched re-searched and documented account of a family and a national tragedy. According to Ottosen 's book, the blood supply is safer now than it was in 1983 but it still isn't safe. The current HIV test does not rule out all AIDS-infected donations and there is concern that other new AIDS viruses could infiltrate the blood supply. Transmission of hepatitis through blood transfusion remains a major problem, yet health authorities continue con-tinue to proclaim the blood supply to be safe. Before AIDS testing began be-gan in 1985, the public was told the chance of getting AIDS in a transfusion transfu-sion was "one in a million." But during that time, 40,000 transfusion and clotting factor recipients were infected with HIV Blindly accepting accept-ing a transfusion has always been like playing Russian roulette. Ottosen relates her family's battle with AIDS to motivate readers to demand safe transfusion options. There is a medical agreement that the safest available blood is one's own blood. A person can not get AIDS, hepatitis or other infectious diseases from their own blood. As an example, she suggests patients can donate their own blood before surgery andor have the blood lost during and after surgery collected and reused She also shows readers how to reduce their blood donors by over 80 percent with a knowledgeable knowledge-able use of direct donation. Two of Ottosen's family members received AIDS-contaminated transfusions trans-fusions and her elderly mother was also infected. The family claims their mother was infected because of a "self-serving coverup by one of Utah's blood banks." She writes that her family's high risk behavior for contracting AIDS was believing the information they were given prior pri-or to her father's open heart surgery in 1985. She points out that millions of hepatitis infections and tens of Roosv4L Utah We have some small Ibut nice fruiting type MULBERRY TREES for 6M ea You can still get the same deal on all items left from our previous ads where you could buy one and get another one FREE! while supply lasts i i Basin featured AIDS thousands ot AIDS infections have been given to Americans by a blood supply they were assured was safe. Ottosen serves on the advisory board of the American Foundation of Safe Blood and Health Care and is on the national Blood Council of the Medical Awareness Association. She became an advocate for transfusion trans-fusion reform after her father asked her to tell their story to warn others of transfusion danger. The "Blood Conspiracy" has been called "an expose' with a solution" by its publisher and doubles as a well researched and documented medical book. Its publisher continued, contin-ued, "It the book analyzes blood safety under the harsh light of reality. reali-ty. Stripping away the conspiracy of silence and half-truths that perpetuate perpetu-ate the safe-blood myth, it exposes the efforts of non-profit blood banks to preserve their safe blood image and revenues. Ottosen's parents died of AIDS in 1987 and 1988. Her father received contaminated blood through the blood bank at LDS Hospital in Salt Lake City in 1985 and unknowingly sexually transmitted the disease to his wife within a year. They didn't find out he had the disease until just months before his wife passed away. They were 75 and 79 years old at the time of their deaths. The family has witnessed two deaths caused by receiving AIDS Thanks to the Dinosaur Roundup Rodeo Queen Committee, all the sponsors, and everyone else who helped in any way with the Rodeo Queen Contest. It was a lot of fun and we're excited to participate in the Dinosaur Roundup activities. Great job Heidi!
