Condition:
Hemochromatosis
Definition:
Hemochromatosis (he-moe-kroe-muh-TOE-sis)
Too much iron in the body. Iron overload is usually caused by an inherited condition called haemochromatosis. Excess iron can poison organs, which can lead to conditions such as cancer, irregular heartbeat and cirrhosis of the liver.
Symptoms are related to conditions that arise from iron overload such as diabetes, darkening of the skin, abnormal heart rhythm or arthritis.
Iron can be dropped to safe levels by regularly removing blood from the body.
Treatment includes regularly removing blood from your body. Because much of the body’s iron is contained in red blood cells, this treatment lowers iron levels.

Protocol:
Turmeric oil is very important in treating hemochromatosis because it effectively removes iron from the cells of the body and lowers ferritin levels. Turmeric gets best absorbed when combined with black pepper:
Drink 1 capsule 90’s 150‘s daily, filled with 3 drops Turmeric 5ml 10ml and 3 drops Black Pepper 5ml 10ml, fill the rest of the capsule with Frankincense/Myrrh Blend. Always after a snack or meal.
Drink 2 capsules of the Liver & Gallbladder herbal capsules daily to support the liver. OR topically apply 5 drops of the Liver Cleanse over the liver twice daily.
Dietary changes
1. avoid supplements that contain iron
2. avoid supplements that contain Vitamin C; increase iron absorption.
3. reduce iron-rich and iron-fortified foods
4. avoid both uncooked fish and shellfish
5. limit alcohol intake, as this may further damage the liver
