don't know if there is a connection, but....
About five years before my first symptoms in 1992, I went to my GP complaining of being run down and was diagnosed with anemia of an unusual sort whose name I don't remember. It was not "pernicious" and it was serious enough to worry the doc. I had been eliminating red meat from my diet the past few months and felt the obvious thing to do was to bring it back. I did so and, much to the doc's relief, returned to normal.
I now eat red meat regularly and even crave it.
