Hi Greg,
I always wondered if sleeping in a high-altitude chamber could help with increasing RBCs in bone marrow failure patients. I think it works by stimulating your EPO though. Maybe there are other blood doping techniques used by athletes that could be effective for increasing RBC production in MDS patients.
