Iron is one of the most frequently purchased over-the-counter supplements, second only to vitamin C and calcium. The danger is that, once absorbed, iron can only be excreted in minute amounts of less than one milligram a day (or by heavy blood loss), and excess iron collects in a person's vital organs, thus, setting the disease process under way. As organs literally rust away, patients can experience early death by heart attack, arthritis, liver, pancreatic and colon cancer, increased infections, cirrhosis, diabetes, neurological problems, loss of hearing, tinnitus, depression, impotence, and infertility. Scientists have now discovered a connection to iron impropriety and Alzheimer's, early onset Parkinson's, Huntington's, attention deficit disorder, and epilepsy. EXPOSING THE HIDDEN DANGERS OF IRON is an excellent introduction for medical professionals to the intricacies of iron in the various body systems. Containing a practical guide to diagnosis, it also includes such subjects as the treatment and management of iron-loading conditions, excellent reference charts, a large glossary of terms, additional resources, contact and treatment centers, and a complete bibliography. Cutting edge scientific findings are summarized, complete with endnotes and references, about the devastation of excess iron on the liver, pancreas, gallbladder, spleen, adrenals, kidneys, bone marrow, arteries, heart, pituitary, joints, lungs, hearing, skin, vision, and the brain.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent for those with iron overload diseases
Reviewed in the United States on March 25, 2019

An excellent choice for anyone with hemochromatois or other iron overload diseases. Although written for the medical profession (and I did need to Google some of the words as it get pretty technical) you can easily obtain a better understanding of this dreadful disease. I believe it is a must have book.

5.0 out of 5 stars A seemingly esoteric subject explained well.

This book is written for medical professionals, but it is understandable if you take your time and have a good medical dictionary with you. The subject is way to important for people concerned with their health, not to have a handle on. This is a huge risk factor for coronary events, and quite likely, more decisive as a predictive factor than cholesterol. There are ways discussed that would help you monitor your risk and improve your profile. Highly recommended for those motivated enough to want to know.

Everyone should have this informative book on the dangers of iron in your diet. The world in general is getting too much iron and needs to know more about it whether they have Hemocromatosis or not. I have purchased copies of this book, which can be purchased so cheaply at Amazon,for my whole family since my son died of Hemochromatosis, a disease of iron overload.

4.0 out of 5 stars Pretty good overall but some missed dietary/prevention opportunities
Reviewed in the United States on July 17, 2023
Verified Purchase
Overall a pretty good overview of iron dangers and science. Some sections for example regarding hepcidin need updating, for example a more recent study by T. Ganz has a more specific graph of how much hepcidin is made in various HH mutations. It also kinda misses the point that hepcidin is kind of the gatekeeper of non heme iron absorption, but has no or little effect on heme absorption. This strongly suggests a vegetarian/vegan diet is ideal. As a homozygous c282y male, that is my experience too as I have not needed phlebotomy in over 1.5 years of eating a zero heme iron diet and my ferritin has actually dropped double digits sometimes between tests. It is nearly impossible to consume too much iron if a diet is whole food plant based.

Moreover, I would suggest another dietary strategy of recommending that people with iron loading problems simply track how much iron they are eating for a week or two to get a baseline consumption level This can be done fairly easily with various apps (and just learning iron contents of various foods), and with a sufficient amount of accuracy. I did this when I first found out about my HH genes and was having many symptoms...it turned out I was often eating 3-4x the RDA of iron, sometimes in a single meal of popular breakfast cereals like Cheerios or Grape Nuts. Unsurprisingly my symptoms went away when I stuck to eating near the RDA. So I think the book is really missing an opportunity to talk about this diet stuff, and the dietary flyer at the back of the book should be updated. It's also worth noting the RDA can be confusing because menstruating women need about 2x the iron of everyone else, and the % on food labels is set for the women's RDA. So for example a box of Grape Nuts needs to have the RDA % doubled for people that are not menstruating females.

BJ Burrows Very informative. I did not realize how many symptoms are associated with hemachromatosis. Now I understand why it is so hard to diagnos. I only went to 4 doctors whereas the average is 11 doctors.
