Product Description
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 in North America among the Scotch-Irish. For people with metabolic iron disorders, controlling the intake of iron contributes to wellness and the prevention of such chronic diseases as heart disease, diabetes, arthritis, liver disease, impotence, and depression. The Hemochromatosis Cookbook is written specifically for those who suffer from such iron disorders. It has chapters on all of the traditional categories found in most cookbooks: appetizers, salads, fruits and vegetables, main courses and casseroles, breads and muffins, and desserts. In addition, The Hemochromatosis Cookbook is characterized by the following: Easy-to-prepare, reasonably priced recipes that impede the body's absorption of iron Food values and tips suggesting substitutions for reduced fat, sodium, and sugar Helpful menu planning for busy schedules, cooking for company, or cooking for two Diet plans for a typical week, including meals that can be prepared ahead of time and frozen A shopping checklist with reminders about iron content A chart showing the iron contents of common foods and vitamin supplements A general explanation of iron imbalances, such as hereditary hemochromatosis, acquired iron overload, and anemia |

Highly Recommend by A. M. Murphy (USA) 5 Stars
June 07, 2009
I bought this book for my daughter's boyfriend that was diagnosed with hemochromotosis quite a few years back. He along with my daughter are thrilled with the book (he's the cook). In the first part of the book there is a deep enough explanation of the disorder that is written in layman's terms.
When it first arrived, I flipped through and was quite surprised at how many recipes are in it and was amazed at how many recipes called for tea.
It seems to have opened up a new world for him. He eats well, sticks to the diet and has been exercising. The last time I saw him he looked like he was in tip-top shape. Of course he still goes for his blood-letting sessions, but he has also taken charge of his diet and overall health.
I highly recommend this book to anyone that has this disorder or has a loved one that does. Great gift item!

found it helped lower my iron readings. Found out diet is all I needed at the high iron was not genetic.

facts about iron, and recipes by Rusty (Kansas, USA) 4 Stars
August 10, 2008
I would have liked to see the tuna salad recipe on page 109. Page 109 has a duplicate of the potato salad recipe on page 108. I wrote the publisher and got another copy of potato salad.
Overall, the information is helpful and the recipes a good mixture of easy and more complicated. The nutrition breakdown for each one is very useful.

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.

| Exposing the Hidden Dangers of Iron: What Every Medical Professional Should Know About the Impact of Iron on the Disease Process
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...
