Re: [MOL] Iron Overload.... more/Jeanne



Dear Friend:  I love a good debate from you; just makes me work harder and
harder.  LOL!  Lets go down this one by one.  Please know these are not my
opinions and if I write something in my opinion I will say so; just for
clarification purposes.


> Gee, Lillian, I feel like rushing out and having my daughter tested as
> she is half german/ukranian! [[[ It is such a simple test and the old
additive goes "an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure"]]]I took
some time today to trace the
> reference to cancer feeding on iron. This is the advice for people with
> ironload metabolism disorders not for people with normal metabolism.
> Iron is a powerful mineral, we need it in just the right amounts, not
> too little or too much. [[[ you have this right; however the point is that
there are 32million people in the U.S. alone with iron overload.  I believe
that is 1 in every 200, and another million.five who have acquired iron
overload.  When they get to the Celtic Nations it is more like one in every
4 have this recessive gene 6.}}} I did read a paper that speculated that
women
> are protected against heart disease and other chronic diseases until
> menopause when we no longer have the protection (?) of a monthly iron
> loss. Ironload disease is more often DIAGNOSED in men as they do not
> have any iron loss during their lives. [[[ It was my understanding that if
one does not have the natural capabilities of loosing excess iron, then they
are accumlating iron and easily can go into acquired iron overload??]]]They
suffer the damage from HH
> sooner. I have never heard of any North American native people suffering
> from this disease but who has ever looked into it. [[[ This will be
interesting to research; as the condition excludes no one according to what
I have read. There is a high insidence of it in Africa also.}}} The Cree for
example

also; however I read that the North American native people used to be able
to absorb fat so efficently; but since their diets have changed so did the
absorbtion of fats change for them. I have only seen it in one article so
far, how many did you find it in?]]] Must be years of  the feast
> and famine syndrome.  Junk food is too much feast. I gather you and and
> your family were tested. [[[ No, we are waiting to be tested; but it will
be through the Military and the wheels turn slow.  They have started the
blootletting on our grand daughter and with the first one her skin
lightened; but went very yellow.  Today she darker than she was in the first
place.  They are only doing the bloodletting once a week and I believe in my
opinion it will need to be done twice or three times a week untill they have
this under control. ]]]   [[[ The thing that I find interesting as I travel
along the Research highway is that  many many disorders  have the same
bottom line and that is a defect to the immune system]]]Anyway, you did a
fine job of nagging the
> doctor for better testing on your grandbaby. God bless, Jeanne[[[ Enjoyed
our debate friend and hope that Marty comes up with some interesting
research also.  Do you remember Diane Hellis, she was a great researcher
too.  Jo C. was also.  I hope Jo is all right, we haven't heard from her.
love you, lillian
