Guest guest Posted October 1, 2011 Report Share Posted October 1, 2011 Dear all, My daughter who is 14 has been eating paper and chewing ice which I understand is due to an iron deficiency. She has been on the GAPS diet for several years and has one liver meal per week. Can anyone suggest anything else I can do to improve her iron levels? Thank you. .

Guest guest Posted October 3, 2011 Report Share Posted October 3, 2011 Our nutritionist, who writes for the Autism File, recommended Floradix Floravital for Iron deficiency - not to be taken too long term, however. Our son, age 14 is the same. We took it for a while but it did not improve. We are about to have his blood iron checked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted October 3, 2011 Report Share Posted October 3, 2011 Hi , May I ask why the Floradix should not be taken too long term? We've been using Feraglobin and I'm just wondering whether the same caution should apply.

Guest guest Posted October 5, 2011 Report Share Posted October 5, 2011 Hi Alison I did quite a lot of research into this when I was diagnosed with iron deficient anaemia awhile ago, and attach the links below. Apolactoferrin is a great supplement for lots of things, but should not be taken for iron deficient anaemia. For this, you should only take lactoferrin. I use Laktoferrin by Allergy Research Group. For this link read down to the comments, specific comments from Life Extension http://www.healthyfellow.com/309/lactoferrin-and-anemia/ http://test.alchemistlab.com/wordpress/store/lactoferrin-apolactoferrin/ http://www.nutracompute.net/cgi-bin/Qstore/p000245.htm http://scientificliving.net/2011/04/treat-cancer-and-anemia-naturally-with-lacto\ ferrin/ Hope that helps. Other things I've been eating lots of are dried apricots and home made hummous with lots of tahini. The biggest thing that's helped me feel so much better is drinking raw milk, which naturally contains lactoferrin, and lots of other great stuff. It's easily the best thing I've done for my health. > > > > > > > > Dear all, > > > > > > > > My daughter who is 14 has been eating paper and chewing ice which I > > understand is due to an iron deficiency. > > > > > > > > She has been on the GAPS diet for several years and has one liver meal > > per week. > > > > > > > > Can anyone suggest anything else I can do to improve her iron levels? > > > > > > > > Thank you. > > > > > > > > .

Guest guest Posted October 5, 2011 Report Share Posted October 5, 2011 Hi /Alison,We have been using Jarrow's lactoferrin. It just says lactoferrin on the back not apolactoferrin do you know whether this helps of hinders anemia then? i think you said Jarrow contained apolactoferrin? DO you know any more about this - i had done quite a bit of looking into their product before using it and thought it would be beneficial but not so sure after what you've said.JanetTo: Autism-Biomedical-Europe From: canadacath@...Date: Wed, 5 Oct 2011 10:02:39 +0000Subject: Re: Iron deficiency Hi Alison I did quite a lot of research into this when I was diagnosed with iron deficient anaemia awhile ago, and attach the links below.

Guest guest Posted October 6, 2011 Report Share Posted October 6, 2011 Antioxidants can raise iron levels if mercury toxicity is the reason iron is low, according to Andy Cutler. For more info, go to onibasu.com, tick " Autism-Mercury " and search for " iron " and " andrewhallcutler.

Guest guest Posted October 7, 2011 Report Share Posted October 7, 2011 Hi Janet If you read the comments in the first link I sent below, Jarrow has confirmed that their product is apolactoferrin. I have spoken to Allergy Research Group and they have confirmed that their product is lactoferrin. I buy the one with colostrum which also has naturally occurring lactoferrin. I get it from revital.co.uk. You can get it from i-herb cheaper if you can wait, it should be just under the customs threshold. You can also get lactoferrin in whey protein, red23 sells this and my kids tolerate it very well. http://www.red23.co.uk/Vital-Whey-Natural-600g_p_75.html And of course raw milk. Red23 also sell this from Jersey cows (A2 milk), it is excellent. (I'm lucky to live close enough to the farm that sells it to buy direct!) The research is a bit conflicting, but it's not a cheap supplement and even Life Extension says you shouldn't use apolactoferrin to raise iron levels, so personally I wouldn't risk it. Hope that helps > > > > > > > > > > > > Dear all, > > > > > > > > > > > > My daughter who is 14 has been eating paper and chewing ice which I > > > > understand is due to an iron deficiency. > > > > > > > > > > > > She has been on the GAPS diet for several years and has one liver meal > > > > per week. > > > > > > > > > > > > Can anyone suggest anything else I can do to improve her iron levels? > > > > > > > > > > > > Thank you. > > > > > > > > > > > > .

Guest guest Posted October 7, 2011 Report Share Posted October 7, 2011 Hi ,Thanks for your info. - will stop using Jarrow then, wish they'd state what form lactoferrin they use. We have probs. with casein here so we can't use the raw milk. If we were to go onto the Allergy Research do you know whether we need an iron supplement in addition to this? DS has been taking the Jarrow and has not had any sniffles etc. so think it was helping his immunity, so worth considering the natural form from allergy research.Janet.To: Autism-Biomedical-Europe From: canadacath@...Date: Fri, 7 Oct 2011 09:50:54 +0000Subject: Re: Iron deficiency Hi Janet If you read the comments in the first link I sent below, Jarrow has confirmed that their product is apolactoferrin.

Guest guest Posted October 16, 2011 Report Share Posted October 16, 2011 Thanks so much for this information. We were originally using the yasko version and I was trying to find UK sources to save on importing. I think 'll go back to Yasko variety for Charlie as his iron levels were low. For my daughter I think I;ll stick to life extension as she has had quite a few blood transfusions (has blood disorder) and has excess iron - although this is probably not available iron - I'll have to think about this more. Thanks again for all you info - very helpful.BWAlison Hi Janet If you read the comments in the first link I sent below, Jarrow has confirmed that their product is apolactoferrin.
