Your blood tests show you are anemic and your doctor prescribes iron. Is that really going to help? What kind of anemia do you have? Or did they test you to find out what kind?

If you are low in iron you are also low in a lot of other things as well, but blood tests aren't set up to screen for those other things unless the doctors requests it. They don't!

Anemia has many symptoms but the most common is fatigue. Your body needs the mineral iron plus vitamin B-12, folate. Selenium, vitamin C and a host of other minerals and vitamins to produce red blood cells. Without enough healthy red blood cells in circulation, your body cannot get the oxygen it needs to feel energized.

Another symptom of anemia is depression. Proven over and over again is that any anemic condition will respond when given proper nutrition.

Your body needs more than just iron. It also needs a variety of vitamins and nutrients that should be found in most foods. Healthy blood requires a balance of minerals, trace minerals and vitamins. If your body is deficient of key vitamins and minerals you will develop anemia. Which one may be a guessing game on your part unless you have a very smart doctor. Most are under the impression that anemia is simply a lack of iron. Clueless here - isn't iron a mineral?

The most common diagnosed anemia is said to be caused by a lack of iron and is called iron deficiency anemia. There are also vitamin deficiency anemia's also, known as megaloblastic anemia.

Vitamin C deficiency anemia. Your body needs vitamin C, found mainly in citrus fruits, to produce healthy blood cells. Vitamin C  helps your body absorb iron, an important building block of red blood cells. Anyone who is malnourished is at risk of this and other vitamin-related anemias. Some conditions, such as hyperthyroidism, AIDS or cancer, can drain the body of vitamin C and lead to a deficiency.

Folate Deficiency anemia. Folate, also known as vitamin B-9, is a nutrient found mainly in fresh fruits and leafy green vegetables. Most nutrients from food are absorbed in your small intestine. There are two causes of folate deficiency: Most common one is lacking in foods that contain folate; Second reason, the small intestine is unable to absorb folate, such as due to inflammatory bowel disease or surgical removal or bypassing the small intestine.

Anemia is a forerunner of other illnesses, which may take years to show up!

I spent my lifetime being diagnosed with anemia as did my youngest daughter and we took iron like it was going out of style, since that's what our doctor's prescribed. Anemia stayed with us until we found the Ionic Liquid Minerals. Once we started taking those, eight years ago and balanced our minerals, since shortly after starting them we have not had one day with anemia since.

When our body is given minerals it can produce vitamins in the quantity to keep our bone marrow healthy, which is where the diagnose of anemia comes from. Of course we also take MegaNutrient supplements to assure we get sufficient vitamins, but that has only been in the last two years that we started the meganutrient vitamin regimen.

If you have been diagnosed with iron deficiency anemia get those minerals going NOW. Not the puny 24 or 36 minerals found in most supplements but 84 minerals and trace minerals that our body requires. If you have megaloblastic anemia add the meganutrients as well…
