Book Description
Hemochromatosis — not too many people know the definition of the word or realize just how deadly a disease it can be. Marie Warder found out first hand when her husband became sick. For six years, she watched as his eyesight deteriorated, his personality changed and he grew sicker. Finally, a doctor diagnosed the problem: an overload of iron in his body. Luckily, it was caught in time and he was bled a gallon of blood per month to save his life. In The Bronze Killer, Warder provides much needed information about this common enemy, from recognizing its symptoms to stressing the importance of early detection and treatment. Recommended by physicians in many hospitals and also includes a layman's reference on the disease, Iron…The Other Side of the Story! ... Read more

The Bronze Killer review
This was a very interesting book.The author did a good job of explaining the frustrating process of seeking a diagnosis and treatment of a rare condition.She includes a lot of useful information for those
who may have inherited this condition.

What an awesome testimony of faith!
This is a great resource for the newly-diagnosed, and a well-written, gripping bio - but it is far more than that. ... What an moving reliance on the power of prayer! What an awesome testimony of faith! I loved the anecdote about the 'pennies from Heaven'!

If only the Powers-that-be would read this!
ABIG 'thank you' to this author!I am confident that there are few people who will not profit by the information contained in this book. Especially in view of the so-called 'Pandemic which is looming over all of us, I feel that it is imperative for everyone to know how dangerous it is to be 'overloaded' with iron - which, to bacteria, fungi and viruses, is like 'fertilizer' to plants! This riveting, well-written, 'first-person' account alerts readers to the perils of iron accumulation in the body.

QUOTED (with permission)
More than just about a disease!.
On another website, I saw this book described as the 'definitive book about Hemochromatosis', and I agree. However,a prominent researcher has written that it is the story of a remarkable man and an extraordinary relationship. He was right. - It's more than a layman's reference to genetic disorder. It's a consummate love story. Love at first sight...the enduring adoration of a teenager for a young man; which would lead her, in time, along an thorny path and against all odds, to a fight against ignorance of a disease. That fight has culminated in the saving of lives around the world.

From the author: Increasing use of maintenance parenteral iron in the erythropoietin (EPO) era has been accompanied by growing concern about iron overload. This article attempts to put the issue of iron overload in hemodialysis patients into perspective. The condition is less common in all dialysis patients today than it was in the pre-EPO era, since fewer patients are being transfused and EPO therapy shifts iron into erythroid cells. Patients with end stage renal disease (ESRD) are less likely than patients with hemochromatosis to develop iron-induced organ dysfunction. Diagnosis of iron overload is best accomplished through liver biopsy. Clinically significant iron overload, which rarely occurs if ESRD patients are properly managed, can be treated in most EPO-treated renal failure patients by simply withholding parenteral iron therapy.

Cooking With Less Iron is designed specifically for those who suffer from such iron disorders. It has chapters on appetizers, salads, fruits and vegetables, main courses (including casseroles), breads and muffins, and desserts. ... Read more

Easy diet, well-written, much praise to Cheryl Garrison
I have Hemochromatosis and I was unable to enjoy many foods because of the disorder, now because of this book, I can cook quality food, that tastes good and is healthy for my body. Iron overload is no fun, and from my personal opinion it seems to be Cheryl Garrison and Iron Disorders Institute that have given the best advice. Thanks for the advice.

A Second Serving of Excellence!
The Iron Disorders Institute has served up a heaping
helping of EXCELLENCE with "Cooking With Less Iron"!

Despite popular opinion that "diet does not count" in
controlling iron, I've long been mindful of my Hemochromatosis
husband's diet.How could it not count?If you want to lose
weight, you monitor fats and calories.If you're a diabetic, you
monitor sugars and carbohydrates.If you're a heart patient,
you monitor fats and cholesterol.If you happen to have
Iron Overload......YOU MONITOR IRON!

Once again, the Iron Disorders Institute has reigned with a
cool head and educational approach."Iron is an essential
nutrient, human beings could not survive without it. We can
enjoy the BEST of health when all nutrients are in balance and
adequate amounts are available for normal body function without
creating harmful excesses".

What an education the book offers with regard to metabolism,
iron absorption and diet!There are so many things, even a
"true believer" like myself did not know (nor had I thought of)!
Marinating flank steak in a mixture that includes coffee??
Boil pasta in water that contains brewed tea??Far beyond the
"basics" I've learned so many "tricks" that allows my husband a
terrific, tasty menu, containing the iron he needs to remain healthy, and excluding excess iron to add to his stores.

I've tried many recipes before offering an opinion, and all have
been absolutely wonderful.Anything BUT bland and boring,
and I especially appreciate the graphics for each and every recipe that tell me exactly which ingredients are substances that inhibit the absorption of non-heme iron.I find myself thinking of just that educational tool while preparing other traditional family recipes! I am learning!!

Hemochromatosis is forever, as are those maintenance phlebotomies
to regulate stored iron.This is exactly the kind of tool that can help us extend the period between needed extractions!Thank you so much IDI, you did it again!!(More please!) ... Read more
