Iron Toxicity Post #60: ‘Am I really anemic?’ or said another way: ‘Not known because not looked for’
“Am I really anemic” Playbook; or said another way: “Not known because not looked for” – Questions you can ask your physician.
Iron Toxicity Post #59: A Tale of two irons and the hepcidin peptide that regulates them
This post is based on a tale of two irons, hepcidin peptide that regulates them and causes chaos, confusion, clinical conditions and clinical currency.
Iron Toxicity Post #58: Toto is my HERO!
Excess iron causes calcification all over the body, including the soft tissues and organs. We’re talking arterial plaque, cataracts, liver and gallbladder stones, etc.
Iron Toxicity Post #57: The very source of this Iron-c crisis that is pandemic on this planet
Textbook by world-renowned hematologists gives us one sentence about the cause of iron overload and its impact on a litany of diseases. Absence of ceruloplasmin in the neurons and retina results in lipid peroxidation that in turn causes cell damage and death, followed by organ dysfunction.
Iron Toxicity Post #56: How Anemia of Inflammation is misdiagnosed!
You are not anemic, at least not anemic from “iron deficiency!” I am gradually assembling the research that is making it patently obvious that this ubiquitous declaration that many members are terrorized with their iron status is an absolute case of mistaken identity....
Iron Toxicity Post #55: Ferritin is NOTHING, Hemosiderin is EVERYTHING!
Ferritin in the serum is a sign of tissue pathophysiology. Without the ceruloplasmin ferroxidase enzyme, iron doesn’t load properly into ferritin. So it gets damaged and takes on the properties of hemosiderin where iron is stored and doesn’t come out.
Iron Toxicity Post #54: A Tale of Two Cities
‘A Tale of Two Cities.’ You’re not “anemic”. It is bioavailable copper (aka ceruloplasmin) that is key to making iron functional! Bioavailable copper’s ferroxidase role in preventing neurodegeneration.
Iron Toxicity Post #53: You were not born with a ‘Red Light’ deficiency!
You were not born with ‘Red Light’ deficiency. What makes thyroid healthy is bioavailable copper!
Iron Toxicity Post #52
Your iron isn’t low, it’s non-functional: Make it functional by raising ceruloplasmin.
Iron Toxicity Post #51: The Deceit of ‘Anemia’
You are not anemic! You have ‘anemia’ of chronic inflammation, which means you are iron toxic, and it’s being stored in your tissues.
