Hello. For some reason, Wiki refuses to let me email you privately... wanted to let you know that "Sanguinarian" is still forwarding to "vampire lifestyle" despite your request. SphynxCatVP 12:00, 1 May 2006 (UTC)
An excellent job has been done on the sources thus far. However, I keep getting into a circle of sources. I don't believe that one of these sites has actual information that has been originally researched. It’s always information obtained from other website and so on. -- Charles 07:37, 22 November 2005 (UTC)
I keep seeing ‘some believe this, however the minority believe this.’ If there was a central dogma we could all confer to it would be easier to find truth, but the majority of the information is just personal account after personal account. Where is the concrete evidence? Can any proved or tested? Can studies be found?

Perhaps a new lay out would be best. Perhaps a new lay out that contrasts medical/science vs. community belief. I keep thinking about religion; however I think we can do a really great job here.-- Charles 07:38, 22 November 2005 (UTC)
Sanguinarianism is a unique case. Personal opinion? Renfield's Syndrome seems a lot, to me at least, like Sanguinarianism.
If someone has a perceived need to consume blood they are suffering from Renfield's Syndrome. This illness was diagnosed by a clinical psychologist named Richard Noll. Since Rendield’s Syndrome is a rather obscure disorder here is an explanation of its origins.
Renfield is a fictional character in the novel Dracula by Bram Stoker. He is an inmate at the lunatic asylum overseen by Dr. Seward, and suffers from a delusional belief system that leads him to eat living creatures in the hope of obtaining their life-force for himself; being confined to the asylum, and aware of the foolishness of taking on a full-sized hospital orderly, this mostly means flies, spiders, and the occasional bird. During the course of the novel, he falls under the influence of Count Dracula - who, as a vampire, does the gaining-life-by-eating-life thing for real - and aids the Count in a number of small ways, most significantly by helping Count Dracula gain entrance into the asylum after Seward and his fellow vampire-hunters make it their base of operations. People tend to assume that Renfield was a more active and long-standing servant of the vampire Count and often depict his zoophagous (the eating of creatures, or more specifically drinking their blood) mania as a result of falling under Dracula's influence, rather than as a pre-existing condition that made him vulnerable to it.
Sufferers of Renfield’s Syndrome need blood to live, However, sanguinarians only need the blood to keep a steady energy flow about them so that they are not weak.

I think the word is sanguis, but the sources conflict. -- Charles 07:36, 22 November 2005 (UTC)
