Its akin to the goose that lays golden eggs. You must let the goose live and feed it, to obtain the golden eggs. When you become greedy, and in desperation, you kill the goose, and never recieve anymore golden eggs. On another note, I have a blood disorder called, "polycythemia vera", which is an overproduction of red blood cells. Its like the opposite of anemia, and is genetic and mainly found in europe, spain and scotland. I remember my grandfather would cut his wrist with a sharp knife, and bleed himself into a special bowl, about every month. I have to go to have the blood removed once a month, like giving blood, but it is not used. My thought is that it is a genetic survival trait, from the past, when warring was more prevalent, and those who lost blood during battle, could survive easier. The writer, Earnest Hemmingway had the same disease, and died from it. His consumption of alcohol and the pain he suffered from it probably affected his writing abilities. It is also known as "The Celtic Curse". When they remove the blood with a needle as they do when giving blood, I feel a release, as if I had passed a large amount of urine, and pressure is removed from my organs. If the Shiki wanted, I would feed them, once a month, and pour fresh warm blood over rice for them. If they demanded more, I would poison the rice, and watch as they die from greed for life. If earnest hemmingway had only had a monthly blood removal, he would have lived longer, and without the pain and organ pressure on his heart and other organs. It is an appoinment I never miss, because the release of pressure feels so good. I was being treated at an oncology clinic for it, but it became to expensive, and found a phlebotomist who specialises in removing excess blood, to save money. I also think the oncology clinic was selling my iron rich blood to their anemic cancer patients, and profiting off of me. here is a link that explains it. https://news.sky.com/story/celtic-curse-common-medical-condition-linked-to-high-risk-of-serious-disease-research-reveals-11609067 And; https://www.celticcurse.org/2016/01/hemingway-death-and-hemochromatosis.html
I read about Polycythemia vera on Wikipedia and two other medical sites. I also read the two articles you linked. Thank you for sharing these details with me. I feel honored. I like your theory about the condition. But it doesn't fully explain the geographical limitations. I know for a fact that some bloody wars happened in in Japan, China, India, Middle East and much of the region. Maybe things like dietary habits played a part too.

That is likely. I wish there were systems in place where Polycythemia vera patients could simply contact and donate their blood freely for the anemic patients.
