That's a good level of Vit C. for a juice.

John's iron is from numerous blood transfusion over a two year period. He was on Desferral first, then did phlebotomies for while but it was too taxing on his bone marrow and now he's on Exjade. Exjade is the first, effective oral iron chelator. Very expensive. It really upsets his tummy though and he needs to take a break every once in a while. If he can get his hemaglobin up to 12 then he'll probably add in phlebotomies every 8 weeks along with the Exjade. His Ferritin is around 1480 and he really wants to get it down because we think it's effecting his endocrine system now.

But the good news is that his PN is the best it's been in five years...it continues to heal at snails pace.
