Saved me from Iron overloading by M. D. Cummings (Kanosh,, Utah United States)  5 Stars
December 11, 2008
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.

Easy diet, well-written, much praise to Cheryl Garrison by David Garrison (Greenville,SC USA) 5 Stars
January 16, 2004
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! by Cheryl Mellan (Marietta, Ohio) 5 Stars
January 25, 2002
The Iron Disorders Institute has served up a heapinghelping of EXCELLENCE with "Cooking With Less Iron"!Despite popular opinion that "diet does not count" incontrolling iron, I've long been mindful of my Hemochromatosishusband's diet. How could it not count? If you want to loseweight, you monitor fats and calories. If you're a diabetic, youmonitor sugars and carbohydrates. If you're a heart patient,you monitor fats and cholesterol. If you happen to haveIron Overload......YOU MONITOR IRON!Once again, the Iron Disorders Institute has reigned with acool head and educational approach. "Iron is an essentialnutrient, human beings could not survive without it. We canenjoy the BEST of health when all nutrients are in balance andadequate amounts are available for normal body function withoutcreating 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 aterrific, 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 havebeen 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 phlebotomiesto 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!)

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...
