Low Hemoglobin Count

[Guest guest]

Morning Marianne,

>Does anyone know what causes an Iron Deficiency in a baby??

 

I have not studied nutrition in young humans very much.

 

My baby is 35 years old. <grin>

 

I would suspect the same conditions that cause this is older humans

would have a similar effect in young humans.

 

 

Many doctors diagnose this condition dead wrong. I have an older

friend who nearly died in recent years because his blood count kept going

lower and lower.

 

It turned out that a prescription drug was blocking folic acid and B12

function.

 

Vitamin E deficiency has some of the same symptoms as Iron deficiency.

 

If you study every nutrient involved and how they are processed, you should

come across the answer. The problem will be recognizing the answer when

you see it.

 

I think the friendly bacteria could have a bearing on this. I would do

some study and consider giving small amounts of a probiotic.

 

I take one every day that has about 10 different types of bacteria.

 

This is a long shot, but if you do it right, it certainly will not hurt

anything.

 

I take a table spoon of this green material. Something like 1/4 teaspoon

might be considered for a 11 month old to see if any adverse symptoms show

up. More than likely substances much more toxic have been administered

already in the short 11 months of life.

 

 

I went back and checked the g/d abbreviation. I suppose that is grand

daughter.

 

I wish I could offer more. Also think Essential Fatty acids. The more I

study them, the more I think they are responsible for everything working right.

 

Did you ever look at my EFA analysis?

---Marianne, I came across this article on hemoglobin today. There

very well could be a link here in regards to the

symptoms your granddaughter is experiencing.

 

 

ANEMIA DUE TO DAIRY

 

Yesterday, I received an EMAIL request from Jack, one of my

readers.

 

" An outstanding local 17 year old male athlete, and partial

vegetarian is anemic. I could use some backup on the exact

detrimental effect that milk consumption has on causing iron

deficiency anemia. "

 

Here's information for Jack and millions of Americans who

suffer from anemia:

 

The most common cause of anemia is iron deficiency. Red

blood cells have a life of about four months, and lack of

iron leads to an inability to manufacture new cells.

Hundreds of ailments can result from too-little iron, and

milk consumption has been shown to cause intestinal

bleeding, which ultimately results in lowering one's

hemoglobin count. The result: weakness, depression,

irritability.

The cure: NOTMILK.

 

The May, 1995 issue of the Townsend Medical Letter reported

that cow's milk causes hemoglobin loss.

 

In 1990, the Journal of Pediatrics (Vol. 116) reported:

 

" Cow's milk can cause blood loss from the intestinal tract,

which over time, reduces the body's iron stores. Blood loss

may be a reaction to cow's milk proteins. "

 

Eight years earlier, Pediatrics (1982; 89 ) reported:

 

" Babies who are fed whole cow's milk during the second six

months of life may experience a 30% increase in intestinal

blood loss and a significant loss of iron in their stools. "

 

THE CURES

 

Here's the good news, as reported in the October, 1999 issue

of the Journal of Pediatric Surgery:

 

" Cow's milk-induced intestinal bleeding is a well-recognized

cause of rectal bleeding in infancy. In all cases, bleeding

resolved completely after instituting a cow's milk-free

diet. "

 

Here's a better cure:

 

Soymilk contains eleven times the amount of iron as does

cow's milk. A 100-gram portion (3.5 ounces) of cow's milk

contains 0.05 mg. of iron. The equivalent portion of soymilk

contains 0.58 mg. of iron.

Do you know of a friend or family member with one or more of these

milk-related problems? Do them a huge favor and forward the URL or

this entire file to them.

 

Do you know of someone who should read these newsletters? If so,

have them send an empty Email to notmilk-

and they will receive it
