In my opiniion, this probably relates to somethng different.

Has this patient also had iron binding capacity levels (TIBC- total iron

binding capacity) and ferritin levels done as well?

Iron is recycled by the body through the reticuloendothelial system after

destruction of old red blood cells and is part of the homeostasis (balanced)

mechanisms of the body.

when it is recycled there is a train connector it hooks up to (a binder) that

brings it back to the bone marrow for reuse. This carrier needs to be working

properly. This will determine if there is a problem with the uptake

mechanisms causing increased circulating iron.

Could be also many other different things related to disease manifestations.

What is the health, age, sex and other clinical history of the patient?

What is the reason for the high levels of circulating iron?

Is this patient male or female?

Could be over supplementation with vitamins. Many doctors tell women who are

iron deficient due to menses and improper diet, to take iron regularly, when

it is only needed during their menses, which could create levels being too

high. Many people take supplements that contain too much iron. Men do not

need this because they do not bleed out iron every month, but it may be in

their supplements and not needed, which would overload them.

High iron levels will also produce free radical production in the body and

can initiate cancer formation.

What other clinical complications does this person have?

Hi Everyone!

A friend has just received a diagnosis of chronically high level of

blood iron levels - he has been diagnosed with sick building

associated multiple chemical sensitivity and probable mycotoxicosis -

can anyone advise if high blood iron levels are associated with these

diseases?

Many thanks

this has nothing to do with high iron levels. i want to know if anyone has

unexplained hepatitis or pancreatitis after exposure to mold.

thanks

ine,

When someone has high levels of one mineral, they ususally have

a deficiency in one or more other minerals. This may be one of

several causes of MCS. It is easy to test for with a RBC mineral

level blood test. Most people on the Standard American Diet (SAD)

are deficient in Magnesium, Chromium, Copper, and Zinc, and that

can add to MCS. NOTE: You need to do a Magnesium challance test to

determine Magnesium levels.

If there are mineral deficiencies, there are probably also vitamin

deficiencies. There are blood tests for these, too. All of this is

explained in detail in Dr. Sherry ' books, which are available

through Prestige Publishing ( http://www.prestigepublishing.com ).
