The recent findings of iron supplementation in children with malaria leads to increased .. death .. This was proposed ten years ago as in theory being .. possible .. and most likely correct. Ten years later the hypothesis is proven correct. http://allafrica.com/stories/200601160149.html The WHO is being asked to investigate their policy of iron supplementation in those with malaria.

Researchers from multiple institutions, including the University of Zimbabwe School of Medicine in Harare, Zimbabwe, and the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) in Bethesda, Maryland, United States, investigated the possibility that increased dietary iron is a risk factor for tuberculosis. "Exposure to high levels of dietary iron in the form of traditional beer is associated with increased iron stores in rural Africans," according to the investigators. Ninety-eight pulmonary tuberculosis patients and 98 controls from rural Zimbabwe were included in the study. Their dietary iron history and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) status were evaluated. Results showed that HIV seropositivity was associated with a 17.3-fold increase in the estimated odds of developing active tuberculosis. Also, HIV seropositivity in patients treated for tuberculosis was associated with a 3.8-fold increase in the estimated hazard ratio of death. Increased dietary iron was associated with a 3.5-fold increase in the odds of developing active tuberculosis and a 1.3-fold increase in the estimated hazard ratio of death. The study was financially supported by the Office of Minority Health to the Cell Biology and Metabolism Branch of the NICHD, the Cell Biology and Metabolism Branch of the NICHD and the J.F. Kapnek Charitable Trust in Harare, Zimbabwe. J Infect Dis 2001; 184: 936-939. "Association of Pulmonary Tuberculosis with Increased Dietary Iron" Who loves ya.

Children with JRA often develop excess iron in their joints, so doctors need a way of monitoring the iron level, particularly when prescribing iron supplements for the common problem of anemia. However, the only method currently available is to take a biopsy. We adapted a machine called a gamma counter to measure the iron in eight patients' joints after giving them an iron isotope by vein. Then we compared the results with the total amount of iron in their bodies, measured by a whole-body counter. We found that we had developed an accurate new way of measuring iron in these patients' joints. We also found that six of the eight subjects had excess uptake of the iron isotope in their joints. That provided a signal that a preponderance of JRA patients are prone to have this problem, and clinicians should take special care to monitor them for it. Moreover, this is the first time a noninvasive way of performing this measurement has been available.

OK - this has been going on for ages. I have to ask. Tom - why iron ? There's endless other medical/dietry bandwagons you could have jumped on. Why specifically iron ? What's the special significance - ten years - this has to be personal ? >> The recent findings of iron supplementation in children with malaria >> leads to increased .. death .. [quoted text clipped - 10 lines] > Why specifically iron ? > What's the special significance - ten years - this has to be personal ? Yes, why iron? I've often wondered also. Or, for that matter, why any monomania? Why do some single out coconut as the solution to every nutritional problem? And so on. George Well maybe .. George .. you should actually LEARN something .. BEFORE .. you attempt to u-n-d-e-r-s-t-a-n-d .. You should actually STAY OFF threads WHEN you don't understand .. U-n-d-e-r-s-t-a-n-d .. ?

Tom Jesus Was A Vegetarian! http://jesuswasavegetarian.7h.com Man Is A Herbivore! http://pages.ivillage.com/ironjustice/manisaherbivore DEAD PEOPLE WALKING http://pages.ivillage.com/ironjustice/deadpeoplewalking If you don't post because you want people to understand, then why post at all? Unless there after all are at least some purpose for all your contributions, your answer is meaningless. I don't doubt that iron can be the answer to some disturbances, but reading your letters it seems that iron is the cause or cure to whatever healthcare problem one can imagine - and that is deeply irratonal.Asking if you have yourself had any personal experience involving treatment or lack of same with reference to iron is an obvious way to get beyond irritation and start communication. For some reason you choose to candidate to be plonked instead. Why is that? >>it seems that iron is the cause or cure to whatever healthcare problem one can imagine - and that is deeply irratonal.<< I won't BOTHER to look up what the Thesaurus has to say about THAT .. statement .. but I believe it would be .. negative ..

But... > I won't BOTHER to look up what the Thesaurus has to say about THAT .. > statement .. but I believe it would be .. negative .. Thesaurus - that is spelling and grammar, isn't it?...I am not a native English speaker, so don't bother looking up my statements to improve that. If instead you are referring to the internal logic in the sentence, I think I miss the deeper understanding of you statement. > I don't believe he REALLY expected an .. answer .. > > You .. do .. ? Well, his and my letters were the first for a while to actually trying not to offend you. So - again - if dialogue is what you want, then confrontation is probably not the way to choose from a start. >> If you think I am about to waste my breath with the likes of .. cherry > .. > > Then .. you must waste alot of .. time .. because as evidenced .. YOU > don't / can't .. actually recognize .. dckhds when you see them .. Probably not since I have absolutely no idea what dckhds means!! Yours, Leo Leo - Don't feed this troll. The word in question is an English obscenity (a few letters were left out). Judy Dilworth, M.T.
