The Iron Curse

What do joint pain, liver damage, fatigue, hormonal problems, diabetes, depression, cancer, bipolar, skin changes, and even heart disease have in common? They could all be a result of undiagnosed and untreated high iron. High iron can lead to a disease called hemochromatosis, which is the most common, and easiest-to-treat, disease you have never heard of. An epidemic of undiagnosed and untreated high iron is quietly destroying the health of millions of people. The Iron Curse will explain what high iron does to the body and why. It will also explain how to diagnose hemochromatosis, and other iron disorders such as anemias, using simple labs and genetic testing. This book provides simple protocols to heal and prevent damage. You will also learn why so many people have high iron, and what additional genes you should know about if you have high iron and want to protect your health.
There are many myths about high iron that have led to it not being properly diagnosed and treated. Thirty percent of the population carries one or more of the genes that can cause hereditary hemochromatosis. Most people with high iron do not get diagnosed. Hemochromatosis is easy and inexpensive to screen for with simple genetic testing, diagnose with simple labs, and treat; yet doctors are failing. Treatment can be as easy as donating blood and supporting your health through learning about The Iron Curse Protocols outlined in this book.

Each chapter has an easy-to-understand summary at the end, which is like a cliff notes version of the book. This book is a valuable tool for everyone from a lay person to a doctor. There is nothing else that covers this topic with such depth and with such a comprehensive and cutting-edge approach.

Dr. Christy Sutton has written and taught extensively on genetic testing, and how to use genes and the environment to reduce health risks. After diagnosing her husband with hemochromatosis, Dr. Sutton wrote briefly about hemochromatosis in her first book Genetic Testing: Defining Your Path to a Personalized Health Plan. Since then, she has continued to diagnose her patients routinely with hemochromatosis using labs and genetic testing. She has seen how hemochromatosis has destroyed the health of her patients, and how the medical myths surrounding hemochromatosis are contributing to its not being properly diagnosed and treated.
