Guest guest Posted November 13, 2005 Report Share Posted November 13, 2005 Does anyone have a good info on iron? My iron suddenly went up to 180 and has been staying there for the last 2 months. It has always been around 60 - 100, at least in the past year I have measured it. Is the fact that it is elevated associated with the degree of damage to the liver. All other iron-related measures are normal. Does anyone know how to measure if iron leaves the body and how to get rid of excess iron naturally? Thank you. __________________________________ Yahoo!

Guest guest Posted November 13, 2005 Report Share Posted November 13, 2005 Thank you. I think all those things were checked and are normal.

Guest guest Posted November 16, 2005 Report Share Posted November 16, 2005 I heard that coffee or tea can leach iron out of your system, and that B vitamins can help make iron usable to the body. Someone here said that there is no natural way to remove iron from the body. Another place, I read that only 10% of iron is excreted from the body. I was wondering if anyone else heard that tea can leach iron. Or that B vitamins make iron more usable. Pete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
