Yes HC is the most common genetic issue in caucasian people, yet goes mostly undiagnosed (affects celtic\/ viking people). Affecting possibly 1\/8 people. Even people with partial\/ heterozygous genes can go into iron overload these days, due to iron fortification since ww2 (which is basically adding iron filings to the food supply). Copper regulates iron, and our soils now are up to 80% depleted (thanks in part to roundup which works by chelating copper). Perhaps the high iron\/ low copper issues are more about iron overload than Rh neg? (a lot of Rh negs would have both). Iron feeds mostly infections, including covid..and iron is now being linked to ms, parkinson&#8217;s, dementia, diabetes etc. A good adjunct treatment for covid is blood phlebotomy (in the old days when people got sick, they would take blood out, decreasing iron). That&#8217;s why many drug companies are currently trying to develop non toxic iron chelation drugs (although it can be done naturally &#8211; green tea (brain), lactoferrin, ip6, cabbage, turmeric, Bragg acv, donate blood). Interesting that the Tuatha de danann were defeated by &#8216;iron&#8217;, all the iron mythology in Ireland. High iron makes you like an antenna\/ magnet. We have all been brainwashed that more iron is better, that &#8216;anemia&#8217; is an iron problem. Ferritin is a bad test. Iron is often stored in the tissues.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p><em>See also:<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-wordpress wp-block-embed is-type-wp-embed is-provider-rh-negative-blood-and-people\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"wp-embedded-content\" data-secret=\"fQFU7hkege\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rhesusnegative.net\/staynegative\/what-is-hereditary-haemochromatosis-the-celtic-curse\/\">What is hereditary haemochromatosis (the &#8220;Celtic Curse&#8221;) ?<\/a><\/blockquote><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-embedded-content\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts\" security=\"restricted\" style=\"position: absolute; clip: rect(1px, 1px, 1px, 1px);\" title=\"&#8220;What is hereditary haemochromatosis (the &#8220;Celtic Curse&#8221;) ?&#8221; &#8212; The Rh Negative Blog\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rhesusnegative.net\/staynegative\/what-is-hereditary-haemochromatosis-the-celtic-curse\/embed\/#?secret=4wyLmPnhuf#?secret=fQFU7hkege\" data-secret=\"fQFU7hkege\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n<div style=\"padding-bottom:20px; padding-top:10px;\" class=\"hupso-share-buttons\"><!-- Hupso Share Buttons - https:\/\/www.hupso.com\/share\/ --><a class=\"hupso_toolbar\" href=\"https:\/\/www.hupso.com\/share\/\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/static.hupso.com\/share\/buttons\/share-medium.png?w=640&#038;ssl=1\" style=\"border:0px; padding-top:5px; float:left;\" alt=\"Share Button\"\/><\/a><script type=\"text\/javascript\">var hupso_services_t=new Array(\"Twitter\",\"Facebook\",\"Pinterest\",\"Linkedin\");var hupso_background_t=\"#EAF4FF\";var hupso_border_t=\"#66CCFF\";var hupso_toolbar_size_t=\"medium\";var hupso_twitter_via = \"datebytype\";var hupso_image_folder_url = \"\";var hupso_twitter_via=\"datebytype\";var hupso_url_t=\"\";var hupso_title_t=\"Hereditary Hemochromatosis - The &quot;Celtic Curse&quot;\";<\/script><script type=\"text\/javascript\" src=\"https:\/\/static.hupso.com\/share\/js\/share_toolbar.js\"><\/script><!-- Hupso Share Buttons --><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div style=\"padding-bottom:20px; padding-top:10px;\" class=\"hupso-share-buttons\"><!-- Hupso Share Buttons - https:\/\/www.hupso.com\/share\/ --><a class=\"hupso_toolbar\" href=\"https:\/\/www.hupso.com\/share\/\"><img src=\"https:\/\/static.hupso.com\/share\/buttons\/share-medium.png\" style=\"border:0px; padding-top:5px; float:left;\" alt=\"Share Button\"\/><\/a><script type=\"text\/javascript\">var hupso_services_t=new Array(\"Twitter\",\"Facebook\",\"Pinterest\",\"Linkedin\");var hupso_background_t=\"#EAF4FF\";var hupso_border_t=\"#66CCFF\";var hupso_toolbar_size_t=\"medium\";var hupso_twitter_via = \"datebytype\";var hupso_image_folder_url = \"\";var hupso_twitter_via=\"datebytype\";var hupso_url_t=\"\";var hupso_title_t=\"Hereditary Hemochromatosis - The &quot;Celtic Curse&quot;\";<\/script><script type=\"text\/javascript\" src=\"https:\/\/static.hupso.com\/share\/js\/share_toolbar.js\"><\/script><!-- Hupso Share Buttons --><\/div>The comment that stood out for me: I studied iron since med school 30 years ago, and found the research v contradictory.
