Low Hemoglobin Levels
 

I showed low hemoglobin levels today. My result was 10.2 and the
reference range is 12-15. I'm chelating using TDDMPS & MB12 shots.
I'm taking several supplements also. The multi vitamin includes iron.
Should I be concerned about my levels?

I can't respond to iron in relation to the other issues. But I would want a ferritin level to see where my stores are and take iron only with that in mind.

I would wonder...
 

if your chelation protocol is removing too much copper. The first sign of
low copper is anemia.

Do you have heavy periods? This is also a very common cause in women.

Mrs. D.

I don't know about the copper. We haven't checked copper levels for a while.

I called my chelation doctor, and he said that my hemoglobin levels dropped by 3.6 grams since Feb. 6th. He said to go see my local physician and have it checked out. He said it's likely blood loss related and not chelation related. So I'm guessing it's related to heavy periods because they have been lasting 7-8 days. However, I'm not going to go see my local physician because I would guess their solution will be birth control which I don't want. I think my acupuncturist and I will discuss moxa at my next appt. I dislike moxa very much, but I'd much rather do moxa than birth control.
