I went briefly looked over their literature on blood on the web page that you listed. All the dates are back in the 80's. They really need to update their literature. Also, I found this statement interesting:
When doctors transplant a heart, a liver, or another organ, the recipient's immune system may sense the foreign tissue and reject it. Yet, a transfusion is a tissue transplant. Even blood that has been "properly" cross matched can suppress the immune system. At a conference of pathologists, the point was made that hundreds of medical papers "have linked blood transfusions to immunologic responses."—"Case Builds Against Transfusions," Medical World News, December 11, 1989.
There you go. They said it themselves it just like an organ transplant. It's not eating blood it's transplanting blood. Blood when transfused stays within the circulatory system. Even after people who have received blood transfusions, if they are malnourished, they will still need intravenous feeding such as total parenteral nutrition (TPN). TPN is full of nutrients that can be used to feed a person intravenously. Intravenously, blood cannot feed a person. It helps with oxygenation of the tissues and also helps to remove waste. There is a big difference when eating blood by mouth and/or infusing it.
Note how they say it has to be cross-matched just like an organ. Also, note that if it's not properly cross-matched you will have an immune reaction just like with any organ transplant. Now, if you were to eat the blood, you wouldn't have a reaction. If you're not a blood eater, you'll, probably, vomit but you shouldn't have an immune reaction. You might get Hepatitis or something, but you can get that from hand to mouth. Blood that is taken in by mouth is passed through the body and into the sewer. Blood that is taken into the veins is not.
I guess that I'm kind of rambling, but I'm going to look up some more information on the actual ingestion of blood.
I'm not a doctor, so I'm not advising that you do anything.

No Apologies, when I went to look at the link sf gave the Creator book was not listed. I don't know why it was pulled and then put back.
