Tom, please let his doctor do his job, the site is done by a "reporter"
and none of the below is new territory. Low iron is most often diagnosed
by testing, the symptoms below relate to the oppisite of his condition and
therefore irrelevant. You have no idea of his presenting symptoms,
medical history, what testing was done, or anything else. He asked for an
alternative source of iron, not a list of symptoms of iron overload which
was never at issue; including "fatigue".

"He should listen to your opinion because____________"

My response to him was not medical opinion but basic nutrition info easily
available to anyone. He wanted to know about alternate sources of iron
because of reactions to iron pills. You presented the medical opinion that
he might be misdiagnosed because both low and high iron can cause fatigue.
You presented your opinion, via a web article, when his doc had already
done a diagnosis based on having at hand one supposes medical history and
tests results. You attempted an alternate diagnosis based on ... ? You
said the article was balanced, to what regard, apparently because it
contained info you like but which was not a response to his question.
Tom, will you now answer his question, what are alternate sources of iron
to raise his blood levels; he having been diagnosed as low iron?

"Ah! NOW I get it!"

Thank you for conceding Tom, it is better to get these things out in the
open. Now, to answer his question, what info have you about alternative
sources of iron to raise a diagnosed too low iron level?

What he actually asked:

"Does anybody have any suggestions."

Sardi provided references. You provided an opinion.

You have also provided 're mooshification' of a formerly constructive and
scientifically based newsgroup.
No thanks for that.
Please don't bother to respond. I'm bored again.

Sorry doe.
That was intended for our 'expertus expertorum' who needs neither neither
references, nor further identification.
