"The use of naturally derived iron-based chelators like phytic acid (discussed below) is more rapidly implemented, inexpensive and non-toxic." I did not find any discussion of the use of phytic acid. Does someone know where I can find this info?

Would cooking with a plain old cast Iron skillet be adding excessive iron to my diet? I only use it maybe 4 - 5 times a week. It looks rusty occasionally, and I scrub that off with a Brillo pad. But it is always sealed with oil.

Wouldn't drinking tea(which contains tannins) be better since it doesnt't affect absorption of zinc, copper, and manganese?

I have had consistently low ferritin levels aroung 20. Probably ever since beginning to take Thyroid medication. I recently read on the Forest web site something about a low ferritin level hindering the correct absorption of Armour Thyroid (60 mg per day). Also they recommend taking it sublingually. I have always been tired after beginning Thyroid. I am currently trying to build up my ferritin level and energy by eating calve's liver. I am also slow moving and have joint pain. Do you have any suggestions? Thanks

Thank you for this article. All of your articles are interesting and informative, but so few doctors even know about hemochromatosis - or care to bother with it - that that makes this article even the more valuable. It's interesting that the French and the Canadians have the best hemochromatosis sites on the Internet. It still doesn't quite exist in this country.
