Iron defficiency anemia

I think you should read yourself what science says about the constitution of the human body: cells, tissues etc.

I'm saying this not because I'm crediting science, on the contrary, I don't believe that the human being is made of chemical equations.


When I was child I was a little anemical too.

Now I'm perfectly healthy and having an almost permanent well feeling and energy.


Is everything about what you believe, how you live and what you eat.

Meat, eggs, milk, sugar, oil, conserves, chemicals are bad for organism, you cann't feel good eating such things and if you became vegetarian or vegan it takes 1-2 years for cleaning your body of the toxines but the effects appears in few months, you feel well and happy.

Don't try to become vegan, just constientize that the meat, egg etc aren't tasty, they just seem, because we have been used since children to eat them and the organism is used with them.

And I repeat: is about what you believe. If you believe what the doctor says, you cann't feel better. Your body is what you feel about it, not what the doctor or the books are saying to you.

But is very good to read books of medicine, anatomy, biology etc. because you'll have a deeper conscience about your body and in this way you'll understand better how to control and manage it.


Knowledge makes you free.

When you are anemic, not taking milk, meat and eggs is not very good advice. I am sure your doctor can tell you how to keep your diet healthy, take his advice rather than a stranger on the internet with a personal agenda.

this might help...you need to eat Iron rich food...hence meat

Are you originally Palestinian? consanguinity plays an important role in increasing Iron defficiency anemia.
My mother has that kind of anemia and the advice is to consume more red meat, not the opposite. In fact, liver is a great prescription. Ask your doctor for details. While Spinach can give you 1.7 mg of iron, beef steak can offer 2.7 mg of iron. Liver can give you up to 10 mg of iron! definitely a winner.

Originally posted by andrew Close, I'm Egyptian. This disease is common in Middle Eastern people. It is because the people of the Middle East did not consume meats and dairy to a great extent that it is heriditary that we do not have enough iron and this becomes a problem when you come to colder Western climates.

Well, it depends. That theory might not apply on middle eastern who are of bedouin origin where their diet is mainly milk and meat.
Just out of curioucity, is your mother and father blood related? even from the same town?
