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.

Hemochromatosis is one of modern medicine's greatest oversights. An inherited metabolic iron disorder, it is most common in people of northern European descent and most prominent among Scotch-Irish. For people with metabolic iron disorders, controlling one's intake of iron contributes to wellness and the prevention of such chronic diseases as heart disease, diabetes, arthritis, liver disease, impotence, and depression.

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

Bye Bye Iron
I first bought this book for my wife since she has Hemachromatosis, after she got it and read it she wanted one for both of our sons that have the markers for the same affliction. This book could save or improve their lives.

Saved me from Iron overloading
I was one year out of terminal melanoma 5 cancer when I found out I had Hemmochromatosis talk about a double whammy. I did read a book titled "Survival of the Sickest" which might be a reason why I have been cancer free for three years now. But you want to know about this book: Because of my cancer ordeal I opted out of the "blood-letting" because it would lower my immune system. My grandfather died of hemmochromatosis so I figure mine is genetic. The Doctors were not encouraging about getting my ferritin levels down without the treatments. But the first thing I read in this book is that two people rarely get Hemmochromatosis, women and vegetarians, women because of their menstrual cycle and Vegetarians because the iron in most vegetables is poorly absorbed. So, I became a vegan and started an exercising program and my diet has been stringent with the information from this book. I take green tea because tannins are a good iron blocker, calcium, folates etc and I learned all this from this book. I went back after a few months and had my ferritin levels checked and they were normal except one and the doctors weren't worried enough to have me see a specialist. I highly recommend this book to any and all people that have this disorder whether it is iron overloading or anemia. It saved me and taught me how to live and eat with my disease.

low iron cookbook
found it helpful and used it to lower my iron.Fortunately it is not genetic in my case and the diet was enough to help

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

great book!
This is a great book for learning about iron overload and what it can do to your body. Also how reducing the amount of iron stored in your body can create health benefits beyond what one might think

Excellent Resource
An informative resource, but I urge every one who has hemochromatosis to read the Bioinitiative Report at [...]
and then to search for cell phone towers and antennas on [...]because this is why you have the disease and the gene. Too many manmade electromagnetic/microwave/radiowave fields in the environment, especially with the Telecommunications Act of 1996. There is a cell phone tower on every corner nowadays, and this is likely why the honeybees and bats are dying, too.

You can buy this book for 14.95 from the publisher
