Google AdvertisementHi guys
I have discovered another thing that has been really helping me the last few months. I have been eating red meat 5 times a week for April and May, I was feeling good and strong, no dizziness and plenty of energy.
For the last 5 days I didn't have any, not by choice it just worked out that way. I was so dizzy every time i stood up, i had so little energy i spent most of the time on the sofa or in bed. I only realised what the problem was when i had beef for dinner last night and picked up immediately.
I have a really low iron level, it ranges between 0.6 - 0.9, what I have realised is a lot of the symptoms that I thought were due to weak adrenals are actually due to low iron.
Has anyone had a major improvement in their iron level on arl?Google Advertisement

Amy- I haven't had much of an improvement yet with my low iron levels but I also eat lots of red meat and really feel better when I do. I have also been having liver twice per week and that just gives me incredible energy.
This may not pertain to you but a chronic infection can cause low iron levels. The body withholds the iron so it does not fuel the infection. My ferritin and RBC are always low normal on blood tests but I am hoping the increase of copper in my program will correct this.- Re: Iron amy79

MoreThis is a reply to # 2,073,759My ferritin and RBC are on the high end of normal but I have read that ferritin measures iron deficiency anemia which is different to just iron deficiency.
I have just realised I have had this iron deficiency a long time, since I was around 10 years old I remember getting very dizzy when I first got out of bed in the morning and needing to hold onto the wall for a minute to stop collapsing. Maybe it could be an inherited deficiency if it goes back that far.

I too have low iron - 0.6 and just last week, I commented to my family that I seem to feel much better when I eat red meat. I enjoy chicken and turkey, but don't feel as good after eating them.
Onwards, the info regarding chronic infection is interesting in light of my Lyme (and who knows what other infections I might have).
