Have you tried diet & other information at Hemochromotosis.org. I did a bing search & got a lot of relevant hits. My cousin had it. Keep on researching. You can feel better.

You've probably seen my prior post, but it didn't work for me at all. My MD is completely against any prescribed hormones, thus, I suffer every single night. Little bit during the day. Hugs.

Yeah, that happened to me when I ordered it and used a spoon. That's one of the reasons I returned it. That much magnetized iron just can't be good for you. I also had stomach and intestinal upsets which disappeared after I discontinued using it. Yucky stuff!

I'm over 65 and a doctor advised me not to supplement iron, and so I don't want it in my vitamins. But if you want more info, I have been buying from the makers of the product for about 20 years and trust them a lot. You can go to www.thesynergycompany.com for info and contact info. Mitchell May, who started the company, seems to be an outstanding person and I trust them. I have been taking many of their products over time.

I am just a customer, Lana, but I have been drinking this tea for 7 months now. I have fibromyalgia and the tea seems to lessen my pain. It was gradual but I noticed the difference in a short amount of time. Also, befor taking the tea I had blood work done and my blood pressure, cholesterol, sugar and everything was so out of whack! After 3 months of taking this tea, I had to have more blood work done and all of my blood work came back perfect! My doctor asked me what I was doing and I told her that I was just drinking my essiac tea. So...in answer to your question, don't know if it is the from canada but it works for me. I just ordered another bulk bag. I wish I could be of more help. I am just a customer, Lana, but I have been drinking this tea for 7 months now.

I believe the chia seeds naturally have calcium. I have been taking them several years. If I skip a few days, i feel like "I"M dragging, full of aches and pains"

there is NO iron in the NEW formula for kids. which is sad b/c this is the ONLY brand of viatmin that suits my kid and me , and i love it thats it organic and food based. but garden of life did email me saying that i could ask the pediatrician if i can give my daughter the adults iron or the family viatmin that has some iron ( 11% only for 4 tablets, my daughter will never take 4 tablets). since she gets dark circles under her eyes due to less iron, and i was anemic during pregnancy. i take the daily the garden of life RAW FOOD to get the iron and minerals. but removing iron form a kids vitamin was sad b/c we are vegetarians and the quality of food in the US due to GMOS and pesticides isn't great.

For women, I have the same concern since it has the full dose of iron, which is not necessary for postmenopausal women, and may contribute to heart disease...

It seems as if you are looking for a cure, but note that it can be hereditary or your wife might have other problems like diabetes, high blood pressure, iron deficiency, etc. If she does have such problems resolve those first. And for your magnesium question it might help. Also she can incorporate this to alleviate the discomfort: Vitamin d3, magnesium glycinate, l-glutamine, exercise (walking and maybe light weight training for the leg/s), and more natural based nutrition (quit preservatives, additives, and sugars of all kind).I am not a specialist this are just my opinions.

Check the NIH website if you have liver issues. I take 3 a day with fantastic results!

I am so glad to read this works. I have such horrible problems with clots that I can't hold a job because I run to the bathroom WAY TOO OFTEN. I have to, no choice! I am meeting with a surgeon today for a hysterectomy but I can't have one of those either because I can't afford to take four weeks off work! So I am very thankful you weren't afraid to ask this question.

Am not sure about x-peak, but if you are referring to what brought about the ems crisis, according to what I read it wasn't just tryptophan contaminants as much as tryptophan itself which even when pure produces harmful metabolites, and also raises systematic histamin levels to a very bad level , so much that it can initiate ems syndrome. .. 5htp is a step up from tryptophan, and add far as i know, I don't think it has that effect. .. That being said however, take caution with 5htp since it has thepotential to cause heart valve fibrosis when at high levels. . Other than that I can only day that 5htp was a key supplement when taken for a month at repeated low daily doses in completely taking out my depression. .. But if you wish to use it for that pls do your own research on what to take it with and what not to take it with, for how long, and at what times. . And according to how it unfolds to you.. Just some notes to help: Sometimes you may need to incorporate tyrosin with 5htp therapy. . Depression can be caused from more than one thing ( physical or mental stress, diet, too much junk food, cellular stress, b deficiency, zinc, selenium, magnesium, lack of omega 3s, drug use.. And so on.. The point is that if you are trying to treat a low mood problem, which I don't know if you are, the key is first good diet with protiens and good complex carbs, excercise and move on to the rest, you know what your doing right or wrong best. Off topic but I found mr. Happy stacks (uridine, omega 3, and choline to be a good stabilizers).. Again what works for one might not work for the other, but I just thought it would be helpful to throw around my thoughts. . But I recommend you look into uridine if you have a low motivation problem, since it upregulates dopamine receptors. . Sorry if this is long and boring, and not what you were looking for. Good luck and stay healthy!

I'm not sure what elemental iron is. But here is what the label reads: Gentle Iron(Iron Bisglycinate) 25 MG, which equates to 139% DV (Daily Value)I tried this because it is supposed to be non-constipating, it is working very well in that regard, although I find there is a little flatulance which I attribute to this, since I have never had that particular problem before. As to how well it works, I will know after I have some blood tests next week, whether my iron level has increased. I do feel more energetic, but that may be in my mind, because I expected it.
