RE: Cara...question on iron!

[Guest guest]

Cara,

I am interested in what brand of HCL you took? I think that might be part of

the solution for me. I already do Vitamin C and can add Vitamin A. Anything

else you think would help iron?

Thanks,

Cheri

Re: My lab work is IN!!

Hi Cherie,

My iron was 5 in May and was 94 in November - 6 months later. I did

not take any iron supplements. I was already eating meat with every

meal so figured it was a problem with absorbtion/ digestion rather

than lacking iron consumption. I took HCL tablets about 5 with each

meal, I've also been taking a whole lot of vitamins for the last 6

months, specific vitamins are meant to help with the absorbtion of

iron, I think Vit A & C but this is from my poor memory you may like

to do a search on this yourself.

Regards,

Cara

Hi Cheri,

The HCL I am taking is: Now Vitamins - BETAINE HCL 10GR 120 CAPS.

I bought it from this site: http://www.vitaglo.com/2938.html

I am taking lots of other vitamins as well, I believe they all work

together for healing in general. I can email you a list of what I'm

taking if you like? I can't really help you much more with what is

good for iron in particular as I have not really researched it. I was

totally stunned by my rise in iron levels without iron

supplementation. I thought it would have only raised a little.

I have also cut out all refined sugar, alchohol, all grains and dairy

except butter so that has probably gone a long way to improving

digestion/ absorbtion as well.

Cheers,

Cara

No problem, I will do that tonight when I get home unless I get a bit

more free time at work today Also, I did a bit of a search on iron

on the weston price site and found some interesting articles:

Heres one that mentions vitamin A and D for iron (and general

absorbtion). It also has some general info about thyroid. From the

article:

" Calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, zinc, potassium, iron and good

quality protein are all recommended for endometriosis and related

conditions. Yet the body cannot absorb these minerals and protein

without adequate amounts of natural, animal sources of vitamin A and

D in the diet. Iron deficiency is a critical problem for women

suffering from heavy bleeding but iron cannot be absorbed without

adequate vitamin A.30 Many women have reported that bleeding worsened

when iron was given without supplementation with vitamin A. "

http://www.westonaprice.org/women/wise_choices.html

Heres another article on improving digestion and it explains why

unprepared grains can interefere with absorbtion of minerals

inclduing iron!

" Not only do grains contain starch molecules, but grains also contain

phytates, which rob the body of minerals such as calcium, iron and

zinc, and gluten, a protein found in wheat, barley, oats and rye,

that is very hard to digest and causes allergic reactions. Once

again, when grains are properly prepared by soaking, sprouting and

sour leavening, these components are largely neutralized. "

Thanks you! Excellent links. Take your time. Whenever you get the chance. I

have been so spacey today that I left my backpack and shopping stuff at the

tire dealer and they just called tonight. Luckily I only live a mile away

and even though they were closed, they waited for me to go pick them up. I

noticed that as a symptom when I really got bad in the mid 90s...that I kept

forgetting things, misplacing, etc. and half the time didn't even know it.

Like one time I left three bags of groceries near the exit of the store,

left for 4 hours and finally remember. To my amazement, no one stole them

and they were still there, lol!

I really hope I get my brain back one day.

Cheri
