Too much iron build up

[Guest guest]

Hello ,Sadly, if you have Hereditary hemochromatosis, the only treatment is regular phlebotomy. Sorry, I have a friend who has this condition. On the bright side, you are regularly contributing a much needed commodity!

You can easily replace most supplements, and flax seed is far better (and tastier) than fish oil, which mostly comes from farmed fish, so is not really healthy at all. Flax has the same beneficial omegas.

I’ve gotten to the point that I will gag even when I floss my molars. I mean so bad to the point that I have vomited. This could solve that problem. And, better yet with these recipes I may no even need some of the supplements or medications.

Good Morning Lea Ann, Sadly you are correct except on the contributing a commodity as they throw our blood away, and do not use it !! The viscosity is way to thick when you have too much iron. So they take the  a pint off every 2-4 weeks and pitch it, regular donors donate every 6 weeks a pint sometimes I may have 3x that taken

Thanks for your insuput Lea Ann. I wish it were different. Hey Lea Ann, do you know why someone with too much iron would crave iron rich foods? ...............I am guess just because I can't have them?

How do you know if you have this condition of too much iron? Would a serum ferrite test tell you?

I am not certain 20 years ago they diagnosed it and I have liver tests all the time, as the years go by I know that it was for years taken care of by reg. blood donations that they could use in the population, however in the past 8 years it went to a pint draw every 4 week instead of six and this blood could not be donated, and listed as theraputic then every 2 weeks sometime will fall to every 4 weeks.

Appearently it must be since they diagnosed Hemochromatosis and tell me to stay as far away from iron as possible. On Wed, Sep 21, 2011 at 1:11 PM, Robbie <Lordshelpr@...> wrote:

It is often found during a routing CBC blood test, and if PV is suspected, the doc should run other tests to check for and confirm it. A CBC will show the following:An increase in the number of red blood cells and, in some cases, an increase in platelets or white blood cells.Elevated hematocrit measurement, the percentage of red blood cells that make up total blood volume.Elevated levels of hemoglobin, the iron-rich protein in red blood cells that carries oxygen.Very low levels of erythropoietin (EPO), a hormone that stimulates bone marrow to produce new red blood cells.If the levels are high (or low) enough, the doc may order a bone marrow biopsy to confirm it or rule out other conditions. In my case, it was found during a

biopsy of bladder tissue which showed a significant increase in mast cells, which is often another indicator. You can get a home test kit at a health food store to check your iron levels, but it won't be diagnostic of PV-just a good starting point.

Initially "suspected" with unusually high hemoglobin & hematocrit count.This test is included in, most, routine "blood workups". From: Webster <mcw1961@...> Sent: Wednesday, September 21, 2011 10:15 AMSubject: Re: Too much iron build up
