i read a few article online and they stated vampires are real. are vampire actually real? and can i become one?

Here is truth - read and understand.

1. Vampires, defined as a humanoid being that MUST consume blood or energy to survive do not exist. Cut and paste time, as it is too much work to type this out over and over and I "recycle" my own answers instead of retyping them so here goes. A brief discussion of the human digestive system and then the probable vampire population given an exponential growth rate should explain why vampires are not possible.

2. The human body is not designed to process large amounts of blood for nutrition. There is not enough protein, carbohydrates, and fats present in blood to maintain a complex creature such as Homo Sapiens or any theorized offshoot mutations. When a human ingests food it is first broken up into a bolus by chewing, then churned up in the stomach with digestive juices to form a mass called chyme. It then passes through the pylorus into the duodenum, part of the small intestine where it mixes with bile salts and secretions from the pancreas and liver which continue breaking it down on a molecular basis, mostly affecting fats at this point. The broken down nutrients pass through the wall of the intestines and into the bloodstream where they are carried to each cell or stored for later use. Indigestible bulk continues through the intestines, turning a dark brown from the bile. Water is absorbed from this mass in the large intestine depending on the needs of the body - a well-hydrated person will usually have a softer stool than a dehydrated person will. Water also enters the bloodstream, and this is what helps to maintain blood pressure. The pressure tends to balance itself in a healthy person because the bloodstream goes through a formation in the kidney called the Loop of Henle, where the narrowing blood vessel forces excess water and cellular waste such as urea out through the cellular wall into the kidneys, where it is excreted through the ureters into the bladder, and then out of the body via the urethral passageway.

3. IMPORTANT - A person physically unable to process his own food for nutrition therefore also could not process blood - it's the same process. Ingested blood does not transmit directly to the veins anyway - it would be chemically broken down by the digestive system.

4. Theoretical ingestion of blood to supply these nutrients would therefore have to occur at least once a day, and would require the ingestion of the entire blood supply which could not happen as the stomach is far too small to hold that much liquid volume. Hold up your clenched fist - under normal conditions your stomach is about that size. Furthermore, such a mass would be difficult to pass thru the intestines as it has no fibrous bulk, would create an intestinal impaction, causing massive vomiting from the large concentration of iron present, and any "real" vampire would have to eventually expel the waste, which would come out as a black, tarry, smelly goo, just as stool does when blood is present from a upper GI bleed.

5. These humans that affect the whole "vampiric lifestyle" are NOT vampires. They are simply humans playing their own little game, in their own little fantasy world, usually pandering to their own little sexual fetish, which may or may not actually be sexual. I too, play my own little game, in the SCA, but mine is a game where the deeds that I do are determined by the strength of my arm and sword - I am a warrior, with just as much skill and ability as any warrior of ancient times. The difference is that I am claiming to be something physically possible: a warrior, and I prove it everytime I strap on my armor and walk onto a SCA battlefield. The so-called "vampires" are claiming to be something physically impossible: a walking corpse, and all they prove is that black Victorian clothing, a pair of false fangs, and a little makeup make for a good Halloween costume - it does not make you a vampire.

6. Even if a vampire feeds once a week, and his victim also becomes a vampire, that is exponential growth, with four iterations a month. First iteration: One makes one, total two. Second iteration: Two make two, total four. Third iteration: Four make four, total eight. Fourth iteration: Eight make eight, total sixteen. 16 vampires at the end of one month, 256 at the end of the second month, 4096 by the end of the third month, 65,536 by the end of the fourth month, 1,048,476 at the end of the fifth, and 33,572,832 vampires at the end of half a year! By way of comparison, there are currently approximately 33 million people who have HIV/AIDS and the disease is a world-wide epidemic. I see people every day in the hospital with AIDS, but never has there been one documented case of a vampire attack. Do the math - vampires are a mathematical impossibility.

As for the idea that vampires existed "a long time ago" consider the estimated global population 5,000 years ago - using the above mathematical rationale, a single vampire could have converted every human on the globe in less than six months. This falls therefore, under the logic of Occam's Razor - which states that when you have removed every impossible answer, whatever remains, no matter how improbable, must be the truth. Since there is no "vampiric plague" swarming the earth, the logical deduction is that they don't exist.

7. Point of clarification about "vampire" bats: vampire is simply the name we have given them because they do drink blood, same as a flea, mosquito, leech, or spider. Are these creatures vampires? No. They are living creatures, not legendary monsters. They can subsist on blood because of their smaller size and proportionately larger stomach volume. Drinking blood does not make you a vampire anymore than eating raw meat makes you a werewolf, although it might make you a mosquito.

8.The humans who profess to be vampires are victims of an all-encompassing self induced delusion. They are as human as you or I, regardless of their claims, and if they ingest HIV tainted blood they can most certainly contract the disease, esp. if they have any cuts, sores, or lesions in and or around their mouth. It is a very dangerous delusion to be laboring under. Note that there is absolutely no scientific or medical proof that these people derive any benefit at all from the ingestion of blood, and even worse are the so-called "psychic" vampires, because their delusion is one that they cannot substantiate with any concrete evidence at all.

9. There is no "vampire" gene. People are not "born" as vampires. When a woman goes to the hospital for prenatal care there are many tests done on mother and child, even while still in the womb, to check for many things, including genetic anomalies that result in deformities and birth defects. If such a gene existed, in today's world with today's technology it would have been found - we have already completely sequenced the human genome. It would also have to follow Mendel's law of dominant/recessive gene theory. Again, the odds on that many "vampires" all escaping the notice of the medical/scientific community are so low as to be almost nonexistent. The idea that there is a global "vampire community" engaging in controlled breeding to keep the "bloodline pure" is delusional in the extreme.

10. There is no "vampire virus" - as I have already pointed out, HIV is a virus, and look at how fast it has spread - virtually everyone knows someone with the affliction. According to the "vampire websites" there are "thousands" of vampires running around. If that was so then at least one of them has ended up in a hospital for bloodwork when they became pregnant, had a bloodborne infection, was injured in a car wreck, etc, etc, ad nauseum. The anomaly would have been detected and medical science would have isolated it, studied it, applied for research grants on it, published papers on it, and turned it into the talk of the medical and scientific community, as well as making its "discoverers" celebrities and rich beyond their dreams. A virus cannot alter your DNA in such a radical fashion without killing you.

And this proof I mentioned is called Twilight. If the true vampires of old were indeed real, SMeyer would have never had a chance to make the sequels to the original book. I mean.....after all.....she made every bimbo who worships the book think vampires sparkle. I'm being civilized as not to embarrass my Rayne. And if they did than God cannot because God did not allow people to have powers. He is the only thing that can. Also another reason, we would have discovered them already. And everyone would be a vampire because the disease would run threw life. VAMPIRES ARE FAKE.

You post a question stating that articles claim that vampires are real. Well, where is your bibliography? Fool. Also, don't ever believe everything that you see on the internet. 90% of the time, the web pages you surf are based on mere opinion. No, vampires are not real. A human being that consumes the blood of another human being is known as a 'cannibal', not a vampire.

There are people who call themselves vampires but they are nothing like in the movies. They have weird rituals and stuff but they wouldnt bite you and even if they did you wouldnt turn into a vampire from them and they arent reallt scared of garlic and stuff that kind of vampire is a made up mythological creature.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!! wow you must be pretty stupid to think you can become a vampire! THERE NOT REAL! Gosh how old r u? 7? You know people ask this question 1,000 times a day! And you see the same answers on EVERYONE of them! God ever since that Twilight movie came out people think there real vampires and want to be vampires. It's just stupid! It's people like you who make's Twilight and every other vampire movie completely stupid. Get a brain and get to reality.

Can you post a link to the article?

Vampires as we think of them, humanoids that are drinking blood for living are NOT real... though there are other kinds of vampires, vampire bats for example.

Yes, vampires are real, no, you can't become one. There are people called "lifestylers", who drink blood and only come out at night, but who aren't real vampires. Real vampires look like humans (actually, biologically speaking, they are humans), but they have unnatural strength, unnatural speed and are usually a little quicker-thinking, although there are exceptions. Real vampires are nocturnal by nature, which doesn't mean that they burn in sunlight, but simply that they find it almost impossible to sleep at night. They cannot turn into bats or fly, they could easily kill you but most wouldn't, most have donors who give them blood because the connection this creates is amazingly intimate and it is therefore rewarding for both involved, vampires have some degree of self control but if they haven't had a drink in over a month they can totally lose control if someone bleeds in front of them, they are far more empathetic than people, and there are three categories: Sanguinarius, who must drink blood, Psychic, who can drain a person's energy, and hybrid, who can do both. You can't become a vampire, you are born that way, and live a normal life until you Awaken from anywhere between the ages of thirteen and twenty, also a traumatic experience can trigger an early Awakening, which can seriously **** you up if you don't know what's happening. A vampire can tell other vampires at sight by the colour and feel of their energies, and vampires fall into the category of Otherkin, which includes Fey, Therianthropes, Lycans, Catkin, etc.

I know all this, becauses I'm a vampire, but I don't mind if you think I'm crazy for saying this because I couldn't prove it unless you were here with me. Anyway, I don't blame anyone who's sceptical about it, it's the way of the world to question what we're told and it's a good thing that there's people who don't believe me just because I say it, but everything I've said here is true. Id anyone wants to come on and abuse me for what I say, there's no point, because I probably won't be checking again.

Blessed be

Don't believe what you read online, there is no evidence vampires are real, and even if they were why would you want to be a walking corpse that exists by killing?

Yes vampires do exist. Their are two types of Vampire: Psychic and Sang. Some need to feed off other peoples energy (Psychic) and other's who need blood to survive(sang).

Vampires are catergorized under otherkin. I myself am not a vampire but I'm an Elf. You should do some research on otherkin and psychic or sang vampires.

I'm sorry to tell you that no, you cannot become a vampire. All vampires that are psy or sang are born that way.

You're going to read a bunch of things online that aren't real.

well no they are not real .. if you read this of the internet is more likely not true. information in the world wide web is full of information but some of the things you read online are not true..
