Guest guest Posted October 22, 2000 Report Share Posted October 22, 2000 I eat a lot of organic brown rice and rice pasta, these are also good iron sources along with your greens ect. If you eat correctly you shopuldnt need iron suppliments. I have read and been told by a naturalpath that iron suppliments are actually toxic to your body. Gary > ------------ Mark, I often have problems with iron deficiency too. I have found many breakfast cereals are very high in iron. Also dark green vegetables--fresh spinach being my favorite. All else fails I take supplements. Tracey - Mark K Saturday, October 21, 2000 4:24 PM Iron Hello folks, I arrived at your shore yesterday and hope to stay. My mother liked the name Mark, so she gave it to me. Thanks Mom. Why am I here? Well, I was a vegetarian; sadly I lapsed. It is a long story and boring, I will spare you the details. Anyway, I would love to return, but my wife suffers from a severe iron deficiency after her periods. So, we pop into a restaurant once in a while and indulge in that carnivore thing. (We never cook meat at home.) Louise always feels stronger after one of these meals. The vegetarian meals that I cook do not give her the same vigour. Can anyone suggest what I could do to lead Louise to the land of vegetarianism? And, oh yes, I reside in Melbourne, on the southern edge of Australia.
