[QUOTE="just_jon, post: 1957947, member: 112153"] About three years ago, I was diagnosed with hereditary hemochromatosis (high iron). My ferritin level was 15 times higher than normal which doubles the risk of heart attack and liver cancer. I‘m glad my doctor caught it at my annual physical. Treatment required a change to diet (reduce red meat and drinking copious amounts of black tea) and weekly phlebotomies where 750 ml of blood is withdrawn. The increased risk factors caused me to eliminate red meat for two years hoping to expedite a return to normal levels. My last four quarterly tests have been within and the bloodletting ended last November. I’ve reintroduced small amounts of red meat back to my diet about six months ago with no jump in iron level. I’m plannng on working up to find my max load. Worst part was cutting back my deer hunting because my heart was not in it since I could not enjoy the meat. Best part was spending my more time with my two springers chasing doves, ducks and pheasants. Remember, life doesn‘t always fire a warning shot. [/QUOTE]
