Re: Anemia
Anemia, Iron Deficiency
DEFINITION
Anemia is commonly known as a decrease in the number of red blood cells (RBCs), in the amount of hemoglobin in those cells. All of these are measured on a complete blood count, which many health care professionals shorten to “CBC.”
SYMPTOMS
As opposed to all other common causes for anemia, iron deficiency anemia also causes RBCs to be unusually low. RBCs are needed to carry oxygen to tissues, thus, anemia impairs the oxygen supply to the body. A few of the many common symptoms of anemia include the following: fatigue, lethargy, weakness, poor concentration, and impaired immune function. In iron deficiency anemia, oftentimes fatigue and lethargy also occur largely due to the fact that iron is used to make optimum amounts of ATP (Adenosine Tri-Phosphate)—the energy source the body runs on. The condition is marked by varying degrees of pallor and palpitation.
CAUSES
When we have a good bloodstream we have a good, healthy life. It would be wise to take time to learn the principles of building good blood in the body.Dr. Edward E. Shook at the Los Angeles Herbal Institute gives a fine explanation of the cause of anemia as follows:
Carbon dioxide and other waste gases are re-absorbed into the life-giving oxygen. Everyone knows that two atoms of oxygen unite with one atom of carbon to form dioxide. But when there is insufficient oxygen, only one atom unites with carbon, to produce carbon-monoxide, and that is where most of our trouble begins--anemia, low blood pressure, or where there is an abundance of calcium, high blood pressure; because calcium thickens the blood. It requires a great deal more pressure to pump thick blood than it does to pump thin blood; and please make special note, that all this is brought about because there is not sufficient iron in the blood, to carry enough oxygen to the cells, to enable them to breathe, and throw off their waste products. New cells are not produced fast enough to replace the decaying and dead ones. Pus is formed only when cells decay. Therefore, it requires no great stretch of the imagination to see how vitally necessary it is to have enough iron in the blood stream to convey sufficient oxygen to all parts.
Nearly every food we eat, or a large percentage of it, contains iron and oxygen. Wheat and most of the grains and cereals (in their whole state) contain iron in the form of iron phosphate, as do many vegetables, such as beets, turnips, tomatoes, spinach, lettuce, cabbage, celery, carrots, squash, parsley, mustard greens, dandelion leaves, watercress, etc., but our principal source of organic iron and oxygen is the fruit. The apple is loaded with these two elements, particularly the wine sap. All berries, plums, prunes, grapes, raisins, dates, figs, cherries, etc., contain organic iron in abundance, and the citrus fruits, such as oranges, lemons, limes, etc., are principally composed of citric acid, which is one third oxygen.

AS YOU CAN SEE, THERE CAN BE QUITE A BIT NOT WORKING CORRECTLY BEFORE A PERSON SHOWS UP WITH SYMPTOMS......LUNGS, HEART, BLOOD, DIET, ETC...........WHILE WE KNOW FROM WHAT I CALL BOOK I, JUST 14 DAYS ON ORANGE JUICE "FASTING" GIVES A NORMAL PERSON 5X MORE RED BLOOD CELLS............
WHILE YOU HAVE NO IDEA WHAT ALL THIS GIRL IS LACKING, HOW MUCH MEDICAL DAMAGE SHE HAS FROM THE WOMB, AFTER SHE WAS BORN AND HER DIET SINCE BIRTH WAS DEFICIENT IN WHAT AREAS, ETC......AND SINCE THEY BELIEVE IN DOCTORS IN THE FIRST PLACE, IT IS THIS GIRL'S PARENTS THAT NEED TO BE ASKING, BECAUSE THEY TRUST THEIR DOCTOR.....
HERBS CAN DO WONDERS IN SUCH CASES, ESPECIALLY IF THE PERSON IS WILLING TO GO DOPE FREE AND RETURN TO NATURE.......KNOWING SHE LACKED NATURAL IODINE FROM CONCEPTION ONWARD, NATURAL TREE EXTRACTED IODINE IS BASICALLY NEEDED BY EVERY HUMAN/MAMMAL ON THE PLANET AND THERE ARE HERBS THAT ENABLE A PERSON TO MAKE USE OF IRON, WHILE EVERYTHING THEY DO "MODERN" WILL NEVER HELP THEM HELP THEM SELVES. IRON BALANCE, TREE IODINE, DE-WORMING, LOWER BOWEL BALANCE, ETC., ETC.....JUST CALL IT WEED & FEED, ONE CURE CURES ALL..
