Too bad, though--when my anemia rears its head I usually become very ill very quickly, so I would love to have a quick way of checking for it each morning, then I could take precautions and adjust my diet!"

There are billions of remidies some will be and are cure all's Apple Cider Vinegar just might be your answer. For instance I have been constipated for decades. I used all but liquid plumber(smile)and found that nothing worked or it was a temp. solution to a perm. problem so I kept on my journey and ventured into this wonderful site it was in here that I found I could use baking soda, water and lemon or lime juice and what wonderous results, the years of back up was too much to explain. Keep looking you shall find it. Seek & ye shall find. Good luck"

[YEA]  02/05/2011: Linda from Fairview, Oklahoma, Usa replies: "Yeah! Molasses, molasses, molasses. I have a digestive problem with BSM; have celiac disease and the malt seems to be a real problem. I am also anemic. I have found spinach, peaches, beetroot, cinnamon and chickory all to be helpful. Of course, energy begats energy and exercise (moderate when tired) is great for an energy boost."

06/21/2011: Catherine from Wellington, New Zealand replies: "Beetroot is one of the vegetables high in oxalates which impairs non-heme iron absorption. Other foods also high in oxalates include spinach, kale, nuts, chocolate, tea, rhubarb, strawberries and herbs such as oregano, basil and parsey. This will suprise many as it goes against the popular perception of these items."

09/27/2011: Frank from Humphrey, Nebraska replies: "Iron Inhibitors in Your Iron Rich Vegetables

One problem with a list of food based solely on the content of a metal is that some foods themselves contain substances that inhibit iron absorption. Spinach is high in oxalic acid which can be cooked off in boiled spinach (discard the water) or in steamed spinach. A wilted spinach salad may be in order if the steam water is allowed to run off. The immature soy beans contain phytic acid which inhibit your iron absorption as well."

[YEA]  12/02/2011: Desiree from Branson, Missouri replies: "My mother has had normocytic anemia for years and years. This is when each red blood cell is in good shape, but the amount of red blood cells is fewer than there should be. She has taken iron pills (ferrous sulfate) for a while now and it has slightly helped, but she has still had the anemia. In the past year she has had severe kidney ailments and was hospitalized and given several blood transfusions. Recently I have been taking care of her and she has been eating a lot healthier, taking herbs for her liver and kidneys, drinking ACV, and drinking a smoothie with fruits and vegetables every day. Her health has drastically improved, but she still had the anemia.

However, about 2 weeks ago I started putting a cup of beet kvass in her smoothies and on her most recent visit to the doctor, her anemia improved quite a bit. She still has it, but it's gotten way better. She also takes the iron supplement still, but that alone wasn't doing it. I'm certain it's the beet kvass that has improved her red blood cell count."

12/02/2011: Dud from From The Woods Of, Wv, Usa replies: "Desiree;

I heard a researcher speak 5 days ago on the chemical cause of Multiple Sclerosis. He & others had found a link between certain industrial solvents and MS. I think one chemical he named was di-chlor-ethylene [from memory] or similar. He said it was used in the clothing dry-cleaning business, and to clean mechanical parts with. The risk of a worker working with these chemicals was a ~700 % increase in risk of getting MS, or other nerve degenerative disease. The chemicals were entering the skin and de-greasing the physical nerve fibers of their natural grease.

Is it possible that most of your 20 relatives work in the dry-cleaning business? ... Or automotive repair business?... Or works in a factory that makes or uses these chemical compunds?

This researcher had published his data in some scientific journal recently. The name of which I cannot remember.

Oscar may have something with the bht therapy for MS, in that bht supposedly stabilizes oils & greases, so may help stabilize your nerve fiber grease."

12/04/2011: Desiree from Branson, Missouri replies: "Dud, I don't believe my mom has multiple sclerosis. She has never been diagnosed with it or shown signs of having it. She suffers from liver cirrhosis, kidney disease, and overall digestive system problems which I believe is making her red blood cells struggle. She is definitely on a track to recovery though.

I also recently read a post from Peter out of Seattle WA talking about his liver cirrhosis. He says Selenium, Alpha Lipoic Acid, and Milk Thistle made his condition greatly improve. He was walking only a few yards with a cane before treatment and then a few weeks later was able to walk miles. He was treated by Dr. Berkson who I need to look up more information about. My mom is taking the milk thistle and starting today she is on selenium and alpha lipoic acid as well. I will update with any news."

12/09/2011: Dud from Somewhere In, Wv, Usa replies: "Desiree;

I made a mistake somehow. My message about the MS [multiple sclerosis] somehow got misplaced into your thread, by mistake. I intended to respond to some lady who had 20 relatives who had came down with MS (! ).

I hope you find some answers for your situation also. Glad your mom is doing better."
