“I finally turned my naturapath around and she is no longer concerned with my ferritin levels. Mine are at like a 5 or maybe even a 3. I don’t know, but I feel good. If you aren’t doing the full monty of iron tests, then you don’t have the whole picture. I am able to donate blood every 3-4 months and my hemoglobin numbers are always fine. She even said that my red blood cell size (which she can tell from one of the tests) is nice and big. She said she wouldn’t have expected that from someone with such low ferritin. I have reduced my iron saturation from 56% (bad) to 16% (good) by following the RCP and donating blood regularly. It’s nice now that I don’t have to fight her about ferritin.“
