Iron Overload: Treatment For Common Genetic Disorder

Absorbing and storing too much iron can cause an array of health
problems -- for starters, joint pain, fatigue, weakness and loss of
interest in sex. This condition, called hemochromatosis, is the most
common genetic disorder in the United States, most frequently
occurring in people of Northern European descent.

The October issue of Mayo Clinic Health Letter provides an overview of
hemochromatosis, including its genetic cause, subtle early symptoms,
potential health risks and treatment.

When people have hemochromatosis, their bodies absorb and store too
much iron from their normal diet. Over decades, the iron levels can
build up in various organs, most often the liver and heart. Without
treatment, iron levels accumulate to 20 times that of a person without
the disorder. The result can be irreversible scarring of the liver
(cirrhosis), liver cancer, diabetes, heart failure, heart rhythm
problems, arthritis, impotence or darkening of the skin.

Because of routine blood tests and follow-up genetic testing, nearly
three-fourths of those with hemochromatosis are diagnosed before
symptoms even begin. Usually, iron levels can be returned to normal
without lasting health problems.

The most common treatment is as straightforward as the process of
donating blood. About 1 pint of blood is removed from the patient
every one to two weeks until iron markers in the blood reach normal
levels. Once normal levels are reached, which can take from several
weeks to a year or more, blood is drawn two to four times a year.

When iron levels return to normal, patients see marked improvements in
weakness, fatigue, darkening of the skin and possibly even early-stage
liver and heart disease. However, if cirrhosis occurs, damage to the
liver may be permanent. The increased risk of liver cancer associated
with cirrhosis will remain, too.

Iron overload disease ..

You look at them and you see what types of diseases they manifest and
you can see what the results of iron overload .. are ..

The Scientific Method ..

Now you look at ALL the different diseases of the world and SEE ..
if .. iron overload in any way is related to them .. and then you
reverse engineer and see if the targeting of the iron in any .. way ..
relieves the people who are NOT 'diagnosed' WITH iron overload ..

You continue in this in EVERY disease UNTIL you cure all the diseases
of the world .. give or take a few caused by incorrect use of your ..

Your work is done ..

You see how that works .. do ya .. ?Iron Overload: Treatment For

Nope, we don't see more then you have for years asserted; and failed to
sustain. If one takes away the presumption that eating meat and its
iron is the cause of all disease, then it is not supported. The human
body in its normal state,ie. absent genetic causes etc. controls iron
levels. A great majority of the abstracts are about a failure of the
normal process to control iron. So for you to pick genetic examples
does not speak for the vast majority of humans.

Use "Human iron metabolism" in wikipedia for a discussion of this.

Looking world round, india refutes in part and in whole the eating meat
and its iron causes all disease. In this low iron area diabetes and
other metabolic disorders are the highest in the world.

In fact in india in the north where more meat users reside the diabetes
is lower then in the south where more non-meat users reside.

That is the scientific method, move away from speculation into the
natural lab where the idea can be tested. In india it is tested and
fails.
