hello,

i am vegan, and have had have an iron-deficidency/anemia. i cannot take supplements because they mess up my digestive system. usually i have things more or less under control but recently i have felt the symptoms like fatigue and dizzyness.

i was planning on going on a fast of fruit and vegetable juices for a few dayz but am worried that this will make things worse if i am in fact suffering from a lack of iron.

any sugesstions?

a.

    well you need to have vitamin c to be able to better absorb iron.

    you should look for an iron free supp or ab complex sup.

    cook in an iron skillet. if you dont already maybe pick up a cookbook or guide to foods with high iron amt.

    have you tried liquid vits?

    if you are prone to this condition you have to be taking something or really watch how you eat.

    personally i found the the master cleanse got rid of that issue for me. my pale lips and gums are now a nice healthy deep pink.

    good luck!

    i sometimes think that toxins in the body create an illusion of anemia. not that it doesnt exist. but that that is why it exists and a doctor will blame your genes.
    hee hee.
