Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Cancer / October 2006IRON OVERLOAD - THE MISSED DIAGNOSIS
http://www.consumerhealth.org/articles/display.cfm?ID=19990303140150 <<snip>> at 37% saturation level, the cancer rate started to skyrocket <<snip>> Who loves ya. Tom Jesus Was A Vegetarian! http://jesuswasavegetarian.7h.com Man Is A Herbivore! http://tinyurl.com/a3cc3 DEAD PEOPLE WALKING http://tinyurl.com/zk9fk From the article: "His article, Hemochromatosis or Iron Overload - the Neglected Diagnosis was a scathing attack on the medical profession for ignoring excess iron in the body. Physicians were more interested in anaemias and low iron deficiency and did not really perform the necessary tests of iron metabolism to diagnose the opposite end of the spectrum - iron overload." This sets the context of his remarks, iron overload far in excess of normal levels because of a genetic disorder, not from usual consumption of iron bearing foods in the average diet. The small snips in the original post give a grossly distorted impression. > From the article: > [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > metabolism to diagnose the opposite end of the spectrum - iron > overload." This sets the context of his remarks, iron overload far in excess of normal levels because of a genetic disorder, not from usual consumption of iron bearing foods in the average diet. The small snips in the original post give a grossly distorted impression. No mention of .. genetic .. anywhere .. You bring it up .. 'Opposite' .. end .. means .. high versus .. low .. You 'interpret' .. it to .. MEAN .. "grossly high" .. when it does not say that .. It says iron overload .. and when cancer "skyrockets at 37% saturation .. then it gives .. credence .. TO .. 'minor' iron overload as opposed to "grossly high" overload .. BEING .. dangerous .. killer .. bad for ya .. Who loves ya. Tom Jesus Was A Vegetarian! http://jesuswasavegetarian.7h.com Man Is A Herbivore! http://tinyurl.com/a3cc3 DEAD PEOPLE WALKING http://tinyurl.com/zk9fk "No mention of .. genetic .. anywhere .." from the article: ""His article, Hemochromatosis ..." The latter being a genetic disorder, quite rare, which causes iron overload and which this small fact thus known excludes the usual diet as the cause of overload. Thought unaware people would want to know they were being misled. I see we have an agenda to push here. I see we have an agenda to push here.<< A transferrin index of over .. over .. over .. o-v-e-r .. "greater than / > 55% can be a very useful indication of possible iron overload" .. Now .. you believe that a marker of 31% - 37% is indicative of .. iron overload .. do ya .. calvin .. Now WHY would you be attempting to tell people with .. cancer .. that the normal marker 31% - 37% .. mentioned above .. IS .. iron overload .. when in FACT .. 'they' consider it .. normal .. ? Wouldn't be because YOU have an .. agenda .. ? You will .. lie .. to someone with cancer .. Or .. you are just .. stupid .. Take your .. pick .. you are a lying piece of crap with no regards for your fellow man .. or you are .. stupid .. You HAVE to pick .. one .. Heh .. heh .. http://www.ironpanel.org.au/AIS/AISdocs/adultdocs/Alaboratory.html <<snip>> Transferrin saturation As an index of iron transport rather than storage, this measure (calculated from serum iron and TIBC) is an alternative to serum ferritin. However, as it is affected by the same confounding factors it will not add much additional information in iron deficiency if a serum ferritin has already been ordered. A serum transferrin saturation of >55% can be a very useful indication of possible iron overload. On the other hand, if serum ferritin is elevated but transferrin saturation is low, the patient is unlikely to have iron overload. <<snip>> Either way .. calvin .. you are useless .. buddieee . Stay out of the medical newsgroups .. See reason .. above .. I'll snip it for stupid people .. "you are useless " Who loves ya.

This hereditary factor is probably the most common way people get overloaded with iron... Jerome Sullivan who has published papers on iron as a cause of heart disease since 1981 believes that hereditary hemochromatosis is basically the reason some families have a greatly increased risk of heart disease. first on the list, and in caps - impossible to misinterpret. > 'Opposite' .. end .. means .. high versus .. low .. > [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > to "grossly high" overload .. BEING .. dangerous .. killer .. bad for > ya .. as to 'saturation' level...well, too much of anything is bad for the body - even too much water will kill you. iron per se is necessary for life. the point of the article was not 'normal' levels, rather overload/saturation levels... > Who loves ya. > Tom [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > DEAD PEOPLE WALKING > http://tinyurl.com/zk9fk |
