No - but thanks Dude - interesting discussion.

I think I read it in an article or blog post or something - posted here during a conversation. But not entirely sur

Well, nuts. For once, I'd like to provide something helpful for you! You've done a lot for me. Let me get back to Google. Any rough idea how long ago it might have been and/or who might have been on the thread?

I'm thinking it was in the past 3 wks which isn't helpful!

Maybe in a video??

I don't know but I know someone with B. Duncani, Chlamydia (negative Trach oddly enuf but high antibodies), Myco Pneu,& Bb who is suffering and a doctor put him on high iron and Doxy. I don't know what the plan was b/c he doesn't see that doc anymore.

The Babs is consuming iron at such a clip that he takes a large amount over 60 mg per day and it interferes with the doxy.

If he comes off of the iron he gets nausea. I feel bad for the guy. He is definitely anemic.

I think the doc was trying to keep the Babs busy with the iron, but he may have placed the person in a catch 22 because Iron binds the Doxy, and possibly made things worse.

He is done with these docs and I cant say I blame him.

Wow. I can't blame him either. Interesting theory.

I'm investigating the anemia for my mother. I don't think she has any TBD. My grandmother almost died from it - the MDs simply couldn't find her blood leak. And I remember reading/seeing in video something about a hidden source of anemia. ugggghhhhh I hate memory loss.

P - Maybe it's not a blood leak but a malabsorption issue with your mom?

That was the reason my son had low Ferritin and hemoglobin for years.
Small intestine is where absorption happens.

Maybe - I hadn't thought of malabsorption. I don't know what the MDs did w/ my grandmother - she was so close to dying and that might have limited her options. But my mom is not so I'll look into that.

So - do you know the mechanisms of how and what is absorbed and where and why? LOL Sorry, I know you are busy so if it's complicated, I'll go look it up.

Okay, no one said that there would be a quiz! Do you happen to remember any key words at all? A google search may be a better way to go than through the forum site if you do.

Do you remember who posted about it?
Posted 6/1/2017 4:57 PM (GMT 0)
Yes T - the key word was "anemia" LOL

My brain has been great on a day-to-day basis lately, but only one day at a time. Yesterday is a blurrrrrrrr. what good is that?

I doubt this is it, as it's an older thread than you were looking for, but it seems to have some good information in it about anemia: www.healingwell.com/community/default.aspx?f=30&m=3569835

I did some searching last night-no real luck but I did find a lot of articles around the Lyme community that connect anemia and Hashimoto's. Ring any bell's?
Posted 6/2/2017 1:24 AM (GMT 0)
Thanks T! nope, that's not it.

Thanks jrpsf... you gave me an idea... someone posted about a rather known naturopath who was interviewing or was interviewed by another naturopath and they did a blog about gut health, endocrine and one of them had lost a bunch of weight but I can't remember why... maybe that was it - they did talk about Hashi's... I wonder if I can find it.
