MAG-pie Alert!… #35 TOXICITY OF IRON
MAG-pie & MAG-net Alert!…
I would like to give some added traction to what I regarded as a VERY important Post by Elizabeth yesterday…

The “ancient” article (1973…) that she posted is here…

The more “contemporary” article (2014) was provided by Arne Kaminsky

The point of this Post is to underscore the IMPORTANCE of Ceruloplasmin. And while you think we’ve driven that point home enough, well, NOT QUITE!
So here goes…
PLEASE, STOP THINKING THAT YOU’RE ANEMIC!!! You’re NOT!
The ONLY thing that is “anemic” is the caliber & completeness of your favorite M.ineral D.enialist’s medical training, esp. around Iron Metabolism… Their training on this issue is “D”eplorable, imho.
Let me share a recent client’s personal experience re this VERY IRON-IC ISSUE. What follows are set of blood panel markers, Pre- and Post-Cp Protocol:
o Mag RBC (Old) 5.1 (New) 5.4
o Ceruloplasmin (Old) 22.5 (New) 30.8
o Serum Iron (Old) 55 (New) 150
o Serum TIBC (Old) 285 (New) 334
o % Saturation (Old) 19% (New) 45%
o Serum Ferritin (Old) 53 (New) 52
ANYONE taking “Iron supplements” to feed their so-called “Anemia” should have CHILLS running UP & DOWN their spine looking at the RISE of Iron in the blood AND the STATIC level of Ferritin!…
So what’s so important about Elizabeth’s Post and Arne’s addition?
Ceruloplasmin GUARANTEES Iron Mobilization… It ensures that Iron is in active circulation around the body, just as MTHR NATURE intended it… This was VERY clearly understood up until the early 1980’s… A lot has happened since then.
What’s important to note is that, ATD (Allopathic Thinking Disorder) — I absolutely <3 that term, Rachel… — leads to an OBSESSION over Iron in Storage, which is what Ferritin tells us. It doesn’t say diddly about what’s going on with “active” Iron metabolism, but only with what’s going on with “stored” Iron.
THAT ^^^^ fellow MAG-pies is the EXACT Opposite of what we should be concerned about… WHY?
Because by the time Ferritin shows up in the blood, AFTER it’s filled in the Liver, the Spleen and the Bone Marrow, it’s too late. Each Ferritin molecule can hold up to 4,500 Iron atoms, which is a MAJOR source for Oxidative Stress! And THAT’S what Sir Douglas B. Kell, PhD’s research is ALL about

(Yes, I’ve posted that hummer of an article before, but it’s a BEDROCK of Iron TRUTH that bears repeating… 😉 )
Simply put: Ferritin is NOT your Friend!…
So, in conclusion, let me share a series of KEY recommendations and please know that I am DEADLY serious in this set of closing remarks:
o PLEASE get a FULL Monty Iron Panel to assess your TRUE Iron status:
https://requestatest.com/mag-zinc-copper-panel-with-iron-panel-testing
o PLEASE get that Panel interpreted by someone who does NOT suffer from ATD (Allopathic Thinking Disorder)… and knows what Ceruloplasmin is and knows how important Maggie is to this process of Iron metabolism…
o PLEASE pursue the MTHR NATURE Cp Protocol for 3-6 months before re-testing, and certainly BEFORE taking any more Iron supplements to see if YOUR Iron shoots UP, too!…
o PLEASE STOP thinking that your doctor will ever, ever, ever, understand this Iron-ic dynamic, esp. if ALL they ever assess is your Ferritin — that is simply an (allo)pathetic protocol. Period. You would NEVER allow a TSH-ONLY test for your Thyroid, and NOW it’s time to demand a MORE complete & comprehensive set of factors to BETTER understand what’s REALLY doing on with your Iron, esp. since this ONE metal is at the base of Oxidative Stress, which feeds ALL Chronic Disease…
o PLEASE understand MY Obsession over Iron… Iron EATS Maggie for lunch… I’m trying to ensure her rightful role to run our metabolism — and the 3,751 enzymes that depend on Mg — as MTHR NATURE intended from the get go…
I trust that this Post will help drive home the importance of this VERY contrarian set of recommendations. In a subsequent Post, I will explain WHY sooooo many have what appears to be “Anemia” which is, in my humble opinion, a clinical sign of Inflammation and/or chronic disease — EVEN when it’s LOW… it is WELL established in the Iron-based literature that apparently is “OFF LIMITS” to practitioners of ALL faiths & persuasions…
More on that later…
A votre sante!
