Although this is a very rare phenomenon, bloody sweat (hematidrosis or hemihidrosis) may occur in highly emotional states or in persons with bleeding disorders. (18,20) As a result of hemorrhage into the sweat glands, the skin becomes fragile and tender. (2,11) Luke's description supports the diagnosis of hematidrosis rather than eccrine chromidrosis (brown or yellow-green sweat) or stigmatization (blood oozing from the palms or elsewhere). (18-21) Although some authors have suggested that hematidrosis produced hypovolemia, we agree with Bucklin5 that Jesus actual blood loss probably was minimal.

Sorry my thinking does not jive with yours--Actually, this is not necessarily Mormon doctrine, just my own thinking out loud.  But the blood of Gethsemane was a reality.  And it WAS there that the sins of mankind were atoned for.  The cross was where he died, in order that he might be resurrected and over come death, brought into the world by the fall of Adam--

 

As in Adam all men die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive.
