Edited my first post to you with chelation in mind, but you were already composing your response. I'm still getting phlebotomy as the standard treatment in my searches, but I am seeing a lean towards oral chelation therapy in patients with normal ferritin levels.
Getting bled for what? Don't have to answer, that's up to you. Want to keep it private, PM me.

Hehe. That's how rumors get started! I meant in my searches as in in my internet searches on treatments for hemochromatosis. I don't have it.
I have recurring iron deficiency anemia from chronic GI bleeding.
Again don't have to answer. Source/etiology of the GI bleed?

Thanks for that. I'll been increasing my Vitamin C as well, for better absorption.
It's been a bit of a struggle to maintain my blood levels at even low-norm levels and mineral tablets actually cause me to experience pretty severe stomach pain.

Another question:
When it comes to drugs, what really causes addiction? I've heard people talk about physical V. psychological addiction - How does this work? Would you say that it is possible to consume ANY drug for recreational purposes without getting addicted? Why do some people become addicted easily, while others manage to try everything from heroin to acids, LSD and other drugs and don't get hooked? What about behaviors other than drugs that get people addicted - Like playing videogames, gambling, having sex or masturbation/porn?
Whoever fights monsters should see to it that in the process he does not become a monster. And if you gaze long enough into an abyss, the abyss will gaze back into you

Hello, Aractus!!!
I am a Registered Dietitian! It is SO nice to meet not only a fellow Atheist, but fellow nutrition professional as well.
Are you working toward your RD? Thank you for clarifying the Gluten issue for others. It is one of my biggest pet peeves!
