hypatia42Some people just don't realize that anemia isn't synonymous with iron deficiency. We learned this in school. There are three different types of anemia! There is blood loss, decreased or faulty blood cell production, and blood cell destruction. The on pertinent to today's experiment is anemia caused by blood loss. Yay!
The treatments we are employing to effect the host of our experiment are as follows:
-lots of water
-liquid iron and herb supplement(Thanks to Floradix for providing this for our experiment. Without your help this portion of Tx would have been difficult to achieve)
-increased vit C and A(sorbet that has 50% RDA of each? Why thank you Jolly Llama.)
-nettle tea
-increased red meat intake
-black cohosh tincture
Caffeine to combat the accompanying exhaustion has been employed though not as a Tx for the anemia. Host appears to be responding, if slowly, to Tx protocol. Continue monitoring in case of sudden downturn in productivity, nausea, light headedness, or fainting.
Good news! Temp is back up above 98.
