Product Description
Hemochromatosis is one of modern medicine's greatest oversights. A disorder that few Americans are able to pronounce at first glance, it is an inherited disorder of iron metabolism, not a blood disease, that can be fatal if not detected in time. Commonly misdiagnosed as arthritis, diabetes, heart disease, impotence, depression, and liver disease, hereditary hemochromatosis is common in people of northern European descent and is most prominent among the Scotch-Irish. The Iron Disorders Institute Guide to Hemochromatosis is a reference book for home use. It contains helpful charts, diet and nutritional information, treatment guidelines, a glossary of terms, and compelling personal stories of people living with the disorder. Written by the top researchers and experts in university and research hospitals from all over the United States, it is destined to become the definitive source for information about the disorder for millions of families worldwide. Undetected hemochromatosis frequently is fatal, and that is why it is emerging as one of the most important health issues of the new millenium. It's real, it's common, and it can kill you. |

Nothing more you need to know. by zan gregory (Kingsport, TN United States) 5 Stars
November 04, 2007
This book was recommended by a friend when my 26 year old son was diagnosed with hemachromatosis, before I even knew my husband and I are both carriers. I ended up getting two of my sons (2 of my 3 have hemachromatosis)a copy. It relieved a lot of fears and answered a lot of questions, questions that my family doctor didn't know the answer to. It also gave us direction as to what to do and what to expect. Very easy to read, very easy to understand.

Excellent by J. Whitaker (Tennessee) 5 Stars
October 17, 2005
This book should be much easier to find.The information is badly needed.If it were more accessable more people would see the symtoms and perhaps get better diagnosis. All doctors need this in their offices. My gastrointerologist said he'd have to do some research on this!!! He's suppose to be the "specialist"!This has helped me understand that with proper diagnosis and treatment this disease need not be a serious problem. Well written. A must read. Many thanks to Dr. Phatak for writing this.

by E.D., Ph.D. Weinberg (Author), Cheryl D. Garrison (Author)
Iron is one of the most frequently purchased over-the-counter supplements, second only to vitamin C and calcium. The danger is that, once absorbed, iron can only be excreted in minute amounts of less than one milligram a day (or by heavy blood loss), and excess iron collects in a person's vital organs, thus, setting the disease process under way. As organs literally rust away, patients can experience early death by heart attack, arthritis, liver, pancreatic and colon cancer, increased...
