I posted on this possible 'connection' and the moderators decided that it
*should not* be posted because they believed there was *no* connection.
Lets see if it happens again.
There is a problem just recently becoming more and more recognized by the
medical profession. Though.. still.. their knowledge is 'sorrowfully'
lacking.
This is iron overload. Iron overload causes diabetes. It affects the
endoctrine system. It affects the pancreas ,liver and brain.
It creates anemia which is commonly recognized by doctors/nutritionists as
a 'true anemia' and treated as such.
All of the above have been connected to Celiac.
Epilepsy in Medline has been found to be common to Celiac. {brain]
Anemia  has been connected to Celiac. {pernicious anemia] EVERY anemia
has a high 'serum-ferritin' level. 100 mcg/l of blood is the level at
which 'mother nature' has set as a 'safe and sufficient' marker for stores
of iron. This is the level at which certain iron scavenging cells are at
their 'least' in number. This is the same level which doctors use as a
marker when treating mass populations for 'iron deficiency'. If they have
at the very least this marker.. they will *not* be treated.
Liver has been directly connected to iron overload.. and the liver is the
primary producer of *enzymes* for digestion.
Diabetes has been connected to iron overload.. and the pancreas is
affected by the iron 'problem'. Pancreas creates insulin. Hypoglycemia is
the first step in .. diabetes.
Iron causes oxidation in our bodies. Oxidation uses up.. antioxidants.
THIS.. is why doctors/nutritionists say we "cannot eat enough food to get
the nutrients we need." The antioxidants are destroyed by the iron.
Vitamin E is the primary nutrient used by the body to ensure the integrity
of cell walls.. allowing or disallowing permeability.. to wastes. Vitamin
E is desroyed by iron. In labboratories.. they inject iron into lab
animals in order to *induce* vitamin E deficiency.. to study the effects.
 
Also they say "Iron deficiency is the #1 deficiency of the
developed world!"
 
We have all the food and yet.. we are 'deficient'?
 
THIS.. deficiency.. anemia.. is the 'anemia' which is created by our own
bodies immune system in its fight against the iron itself. The immune
system uses iron as the basis of its arsenal. When the immune system
recognizes an 'enemy' be it virus/cancer/bacteria.. which are ALL 'iron
dependent'.. it removes what iron it has in the blood .. out. It literally
starves the invader weakening it and allowing the T-cells to kill it. When
it is the iron itself it is fighting.. the bodies immune system is
constantly 'en garde' and leaving us constantly.. anemic.  We are
'prescribed' iron supplements.. which are literally 'killing' us or adding
nails to the coffin.  IMHO.. and a few others.. NSHO.
 
Who loves ya.
