STOP Taking This Now

you never want to take iron supplements iron is the most toxic mineral that you can consume and so if you are unknowingly taking and being exposed to too much iron over time your organs are going to start to accumulate iron your tissues are going to get iron overload even certain people have a genetic problem where they accumulate too much iron and they cannot get rid of it which is very dangerous you might not even be aware of how much iron is in your daily life I mean this is really important because you might not even

be aware of how you're getting exposed to iron from all sorts of you know strange places let me just kind of cover all the the risk factors if you have iron overload number one cancer especially color rectal number two liver disease I'm talking about Scar Tissue inflammation of the liver which leads to curosis heart disease because if you think about iron think about rust it rusts the inside of your body if you have too much low testosterone low libido diabetes chronic fatigue syndrome infertility neurod degeneration and a wide range of inflammatory diseases you know I

did a video on iron deficiency being the most common mineral deficiency at the same time it's the most dangerous if you're getting too much a toxic amount of iron is the most underdiagnosed overlooked condition in relationship to all the vitamins and minerals and so let's just cover the common ways that you get iron that you might not even be aware of one way that people are being overloaded is is with their supplements especially the one aays I do not recommend getting a one a day supplement with iron and you don't absorb much which means a

lot of it accumulates and sits around in your digestive tract which means that it is time to cause constipation nausea diarrhea bloating irritation in the colon you really only absorb like 10% of it and the rest just kind of irritates the digestive tract the type of iron that most people are are taking through supplements is the type that will feed pathogens in your digestive tract pathogens love to eat iron and you can very easily get an overgrowth of pathogens by giving them too much of the iron food the heem iron in red meat and even

in fish get absorbed a lot more at least 35% absorption and it goes right into the blood which means there's very little free Iron that's left in the digestive tract Plus in red me you have a lot of other nutrients like vitamin B2 B3 B1 B12 zinc selenium and high quality protein which can then act to help balance out iron as compared to just like taking a supplement with higher amounts of iron let me just first touch on this genetic problem with iron this is um not as rare as you might think and what's interesting

in that condition is the person usually has way too much iron in their body but at the same time they're deficient and that's really the theme of this video when people have too much iron or they have not enough iron they really have a iron dysfunction it's not as simple as just taking more iron in solving the problem Beyond The One A Day supplement you also have iron supplements which I'm I highly recommend you never take those again get your iron from actual food if you're menstrating for example and you're losing blood eat more red

meat or take Gra fed liver pills when you consume bread or pasta in the US it is so heavy with iron it's going to sit in your gut you're going to feel so bloated because the iron is messing with your microbes and it's irritating your gut because it's not absorbed that well but the grains itself don't help just look on the back of the label with every junk food that you would eat they have iron added but you might not even read it as iron I'm just going to give you three different types of hidden

iron that you might not even recognize as iron Ferris fumerate Ferris sulfate Ferris gluconate is another type of iron supplements fortification cast iron pots when you cook with cast iron you're leeching out a lot of the wrong type of iron if you drink a lot of alcohol your liver is going to get damaged and if you have any liver damage at all that alone can cause you to accumulate iron the biggest way that most people have dysfunctional iron is a lack of copper copper is more higher level and helps control iron there are many many

different enzymes that are dependent on copper that relate directly to the control of iron the first enzyme with copper converts iron to a form that is less accumulative in your body it changes this toxic iron into something that's safer copper also allows you to transport iron through the body if you don't have copper you can't transport iron effectively so you accumulate iron copper is involved in a very powerful antioxidant to reduce oxidation that comes from Iron when you combine iron with something in the body called hydrogen peroxide which your body makes certain cells make you

form one of the most deadly free radicals in existence it creates the most damage in the body and it comes from hydrogen peroxide and iron copper helps reduce this oxidative stress this rusting out in the body copper is necessary to make heem this is the protein that allows iron to carry oxygen you're saying well wait a second I don't think I'm deficient in Copper I want to give you some data on that too because you might be deficient in Copper I'm not telling you to go take a copper supplement because just as we have copper

deficiencies there's also a copper toxicity problem as well let me just quickly go down the list of things that really create a copper deficiency one is glyphosate the chemical Roundup Ready binds more to the Copper than any other mineral in the ground if you're eating any food with that glyphosate boy you are not getting any Copper at all a lot of the farming methods now just completely destroy the soil so you're not getting these trace minerals especially copper certain antibiotics work by depleting copper so that's another way to become copper deficient high fructose corn syrup

blocks copper absorption big time when you consume any of the Cals or the breads with the wheat products that can bind up the copper as well the point I'm trying to bring to your awareness is that iron deficiency anemia is really iron dysfunctional anemia which many times is related to a mere copper deficiency and so the best foods for copper are oysters shellfish organ Meats like I said in the beginning never take iron supplements get your iron from actual food animal food don't forget the copper as well because many people have a problem with iron

simply because they're deficient in Copper and if you want a little more information about copper you should check out this video right here
