I have been wondering if the red cross is a front human trafficking and taking children's blood. Remember this "story" Snopes says it's false therefore it must be true.
Wanting to be sober for the “Goats Head Soup” tour, Richards and Marshall Chess, head of Rolling Stones Records, went to a Switzerland clinic on Sept. 23, 1973. . There they paid a visiting Florida “doctor” $5,000.
The doctor put them through dialysis, the same process kidney-failure patients undergo to clean toxins from their blood. Over a period of two or three days (depending on which unreliable rock book you read), Richards’ and Chess’ blood was run through a pump and back into their bodies, with any impurities passing through a semipermeable membrane and into the dialysis fluid.
They were supposedly unconscious the entire time, which spooked Richards. According to one source, Chess had recommended the procedure, having already tried it in Mexico.
“From this cure sprang the myth that Keith regularly had the blood emptied out of his body and replaced with a fresh supply,” writes Victor Bockris in “Keith Richards: The Biography,” noting that Richards himself perpetuated the notion as a joke.
The myth was popularized by Tony Sanchez’s notorious 1979 tell-all “Up and Down with the Rolling Stones,” which incorrectly referred to the procedure as “having his blood changed.” By the early 1980s, the rumor was already in wide circulation (so to speak).
Paul Coleman, president of the Columbus, Ohio addiction recovery clinic Maryhaven, says that there’s no way dialysis will cure addiction, which is a complex mix of psychological and biological problems. In fact, he says, it wouldn’t even help you pass “a well-administered chemical test for drugs.”
