You're starting your defense of the Shroud of Turin by talking about blood stains... when Jewish custom was (and still is) to cleanse bloodied bodies before burial. And bodies don't bleed after death.
It's also worth noting that the type of herringbone weave in the Shroud is unheard of in textiles in First Century Israel , especially in burial shrouds. In addition, it's been tested multiple times and tested as being from the medieval era.
TL;DR: The Shroud of Turin is a lot less meaningful method of "proving" Christianity than it might seem at first glance.
