Re: Imperative / iron stores / diabetes

Dear Mr. Justice, I accept your concession that you can not answer the
original article scientifically and that it puts your idea in final and
fatal jeopardy. To review, bloodletting doesn't affect risk of diabetes,
nor does total iron, nor eating animal products such as fish and poultry.
These three direct contridictions, only one is needed, to your idea that
iron is the cause of all disease stand and your idea is now put aside as
not science. One is always free to accept such an idea on the basis of
religion of course and the practices you suggest are just fine. There are
many religions which have food restrictions and your's fall within these
and one is free to accept them or not, but not on the basis of science but
as what is thought to be a revelation. The many iron related articles you
post are just fine also and they are science. They outline how iron can
be involved when it is too high with medical problems. But the iron is in
most cases not the cause of the conditionbut a secondary effect. What is
most important is that they do not contridict the three findings above and
they do not lend themselves to the idea that ALL disease is caused by
iron. In many cases they support the oppisite case, that disease can
cause high iron. We haven't touched upon the other side of the coin, the
clear medical problems of having too little iron, this is the world's
number one nutritional problem among women and children.
