Iron issues

[Guest guest]

I have your same iron profile and I also see Dr. R. I've gone from

everything being low, to taking supplements and eating beef daily,

to increasing the ferritin and somewhat increasing the other

indices, to having the other indices go lower while the ferritin is

still pretty high. It's been over 17 months. I, too, think I've had

a lot of damage from low iron for probably, decades, considering my

Hashi's and poor eating habits with no supplements, and it's going

to take a long time to turn it around. I've also read it elsewhere

that it takes a long time to turn it around, and once you do, you

have to still watch it.
