Re: Anemia / liver questions

[Guest guest]

Therese,

If you are willing and able to eat clams, they are very high in iron.

And I think raisins are allowed on the GAP diet, they would be good

too. Remember you don't have to get all of your iron from one source,

you can get a little from many different foods. And cook in a cast

iron pan too!

Therese,

Have you been drinking a lot of Nettles Tea?? That is packed full of iron as

well. Also you can eat the liver cooked as well. It does not really loose the

iron quality but raw does get it into your system better.

What type of Anemia do you have?? This can make a huge difference is treatments.

I know I did all the natural things and took so many supplements but my body

would not absorb. So I end up with IV iron.

One supplement you can make at home that might help a lot is, equal parts of

black strap molasses and raw apple cider vinegar. Take a table spoon morning and

night.

Here are a few good sites on natural iron problems and what to consider doing

for it. The first site is great.

Liver does not need to be raw to help with anemia. You will get the same, if not

more, iron

and minerals from cooked liver. When served raw, you will get other nutrients

lost in cooking

but fully loaded with liver in the raw state. You don't need to add so much

liver to smoothies

to make you gag. Go light (1 oz or so).

Don't forget all the good bone broths too. Red blood cells need copper,

manganese, boron,

chromium and many other minerals, substances only found in good mineral-dense

food.

STRESS is one of the biggest drains on minerals.

My anemia problem went away after I started to take copper.

Kimi,

I just have anemia from iron deficiency. I

will try eating some raw liver and some cooked.

Thank you to everyone for the tips.

I happen to dislike liver strongly (as many out there do) and I hide it in meat

loaf or hamburgers.  I am still working on other ways to hide it, but so far

that is what I have come up with.  I cut it up very small and mix it in and my

husband still thinks he can taste it, but now he knows that I do it.   He still

eats it and likes my meatloaf.
