Product Description
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 infections, cirrhosis, diabetes, neurological problems, loss of hearing, tinnitus, depression, impotence, and infertility. Scientists have now discovered a connection to iron impropriety and Alzheimer's, early onset Parkinson's, Huntington's, attention deficit disorder, and epilepsy. Exposing the Hidden Dangers of Iron is an excellent introduction for medical professionals to the intricacies of iron in the various body systems. Containing a practical guide to diagnosis, it also includes such subjects as the treatment and management of iron-loading conditions, excellent reference charts, a large glossary of terms, additional resources, contact and treatment centers, and a complete bibliography. Cutting edge scientific findings are summarized, complete with endnotes and references, about the devastation of excess iron on the liver, pancreas, gallbladder, spleen, adrenals, kidneys, bone marrow, arteries, heart, pituitary, joints, lungs, hearing, skin, vision, and the brain. Patients with iron-related disease, especially excess body iron, are often dismissed as hypochondriacs. Therefore, the book includes helpful information for the psychological and social implications of iron-related disease. |

excellent resource by cemtailz (Kutztown, PA USA)  5 Stars
November 29, 2008
I suspect this is my problem and have found this book to be an informative resource, but hemochromatosis is not just 'chemical' iron overload, but a 'magnetic' ironload, too. I urge every one who has this disease of iron overload to to read the Bioinitiative Report at [...]
and then to search for cell phone towers and antennas on [...]because this is likely why you have the disease and the gene. We have too many manmade electromagnetic/microwave/radiowave fields in the environment today, especially with the Telecommunications Act of 1996. It seems there is a cell phone tower on every corner, and many people use cordless phones, too, which is the equivalent of having a cell phone mast inside your home. Please research this for yourself. The cause of Hemochromatosis is electromagnetic and microwave radiation from power lines, cell phone towers, radar, etc... This book will really open your eyes though.

Extremely informative examination of iron overload by Millicent Wodner (Los Altos, CA USA) 5 Stars
March 30, 2008
This timely exposure of a truly hidden health hazzard is well written and can be clearly understood by people who are not medical professionals. It is a common sense guide on how to handle this problem of iron overload and most important how to prevent the problem from developing. Other books tend to be too technical or in some cases not detailed enough in their investigative coverage. This book is just right in terms of giving enough clear coverage.

What Every Medical Professional (and patient) show know by Cheryl Mellan (Marietta, Ohio) 5 Stars
August 04, 2004
I am so very pleased to recommend this book. The Iron Disorders Institute - and Dr. Weinberg, have "done it again". While the book is geared towards medical professionals, I find it quite understandable as a layperson whose family is affected by hemochromatosis/iron overload. "Exposing The Hidden Dangers of Iron" takes up where "Guide to Hemochromatosis" lets off.
Especially of interest to me is the in-depth education on how iron specifically effects each system of the body. The extensive information given on diagnosis and treatment is invaluable. The graphics are incredible.
Dr. Weinberg is a leading expert in infectious disease and cancer. He is well known for his work which focuses on prevention of chronic disease by reducing iron levels by reducing intake of iron in diet and discontinuing contributive factors such as tobacco use and alcohol. His more than fifty years work in the field of iron's relationship to cancer has earned him prestige and recognition worldwide. He is a pioneer in the field of iron studies, and has provided us with more than 350 articles and books devoted to iron. I have had the honor of hearing Dr. Weinberg speak in person numerous times, and have never failed to walk away richer for the experience. My expectations have not been disappointed with this excellent publication.

The Iron Factor of Aging synthesizes a vast array of disparate studies and observations into a cohesive plan for a dietary strategy to minimize cardiovascular diseases, cancer, diabetes and other age-related disorders.
