K.I.S.S. Keep it simple searchers. Learn what happens is when iron, when not properly bound by transport or regulatory proteins, is pro-oxidant, and thus, very toxic to our health. Get the proper tests, not ferritin, to know your real status.

Iron Toxicity Post #41: Anemia of Inflammation and how it relates to anemia
In my ever-continuing efforts to get folks from the entire world over to restore and protect their magnesium (Mg) status, I’ve taken a most unexpected and extended journey into and through the wacky, Byzantine of the most revealing world of iron research. Fortunately,...
Iron Toxicity Post #39: excess unbound iron is very bad! Get properly tested.
Low hemoglobin, ferritin, serum iron and saturation are all indications of iron dysregulation caused by low bioavailable copper which is expressed as low ceruloplasmin.
Iron Toxicity Post #35: Mother Nature intends iron to be moving not stored
The object of Mother Nature is to mobilize iron, and thus, the importance of ceruloplasmin is to keep iron moving.
Iron Toxicity Post #29: Irregular iron blood markers especially low ferritin is code for more magnesium, ceruloplasmin and B2
When iron blood markers show irregularities, especially low ferritin, we know that’s code for the need for more magnesium, ceruloplasmin (bioavailable copper) and riboflavin (B2).
Iron Toxicity Post #28: Stop allowing ferritin only blood test!
Stop allowing ferritin-only blood tests. Ferritin is coming from damaged cells and has leaked its pro-oxidant iron load.
Iron Toxicity Post #27: On the Iron-ic ignorance of blood testing
Study on how ferritin is not an indicator of hepatic stores in anemia.
Iron Toxicity Post #25: Iron movement, not iron storage!
Iron movement not iron storage as iron is supposed to RE-cycle. Find out why ferritin only is not the marker for anemia and the connection to ceruloplasmin.
Iron Toxicity Post #22: There is a difference between ‘Iron Deficiency and ‘Iron Dysregulation’!
Iron metabolism is ruled and regulated by copper status, not iron status and certainly not ferritin status.
Iron Toxicity Post #7: All manner of pathogens – fungal, viral, mycotoxin etc., MUST have iron to flourish and grow!
