You know what I think about...and this really doesn't have
lots to do with morgellons, but, on the internet are lots of
video's of Patrick Swazye. A few years ago, I watched in
fear what he was trying to do to kill off his pancreatic cancer.
His own words in essence were: he didn't want to do any of
the typical protocols for treating his cancer (can't blame him)
but he believed he could "starve" the cancer, which he figured
would remove it or kill it off. So...he "starved it", but, all that
ended up doing was causing his infected body to succumb
moreso (imho) to the cancerous cells that were growing.
His body became so weak from his disease or cancer, that
it hadn't anything (fuel) to fight back with.
We sure don't know what the real for sure answer is, but...
it just seems that "where there's weak links" those are the
places that then become the wide open doors to allow too
much invasion.
When the body is running in great condition, it usually can
at least hold back attacks from much that tries to get ahold
of it.
Talking about iron here, it's very interesting, and I don't know
if all infections or diseases sap the iron out of the body,
meaning, I don't know if that's a normal thing that diseases do.
I do know though that I've heard of many becoming iron
deficient "since Morgellons" and myself too, as my toe nails
began looking ripply. I take iron supplements now for that,
and have now for quite a long time since I saw that happening.
Not too much though, because iron can actually be deadly.
Low doses several times a week got me back on track.
I didn't have an iron deficient problem before, as that's something
I do blame on Morgellons since it came about a few years into it.
But...I know the rest of my system/body can't remain healthy
if I don't supply it with what all it needs to maintain strength
and health, and iron is required to keep it all going.
Headbee, here's a link to something about Iron IV's.
Not to scare you, and I don't know the reputation of this
site either. I'd actually be concerned though about the
adverse reactions of too much iron at "one time".
I certainly don't know, but I'd be looking at the good part
of that procedure as well as the "ify" part too.

answers, it was just what came up when I googled
Iron by IV.
Q.
What should I expect from an IV iron infusion? What side effects might there be during infusion and after infusion? How long is it before the iron is absorbed into my blood? How long before I feel better? Will I feel like working the next day? I have heard so many different stories about this procedure, and I need to know correct information.
A.
Iron in injectable form is most commonly administered intramuscularly rather than intravenously. The preservative-free form can be given intravenously, but is usually reserved for cases where an intramuscular injection is contraindicated or when large amounts of iron need to replaced very quickly. Iron injections are given for severe iron deficiency and increase blood iron levels immediately. Iron injections are contraindicated in those who are allergic to it, in all anemias except iron deficiency anemia and in acute kidney infections. Iron injections may be contraindicated in liver disease, rheumatoid arthritis and inflammatory conditions.
The most serious side effect from iron injection is anaphylaxis, a severe immediate allergic reaction that can result in death. Other side effects that can occur during or following iron injection include extremely low blood pressure, flushing, headache, muscle and joint pain, dizziness, nausea, rashes, pain and inflammation at the injection site, fever and chills.
------------------------------------------------------
If your iron is critically low, possibly consult with two or more
doctors too before having an injection that can't be reversed,
(just in case).
Sometimes more isn't better (at once)...where slowly and surely
might be safer. I only want to help by showing you what I'd
do, as that's all I can speak for regarding your question about
the IV of iron. I'd definitely get more professional opinions.
