Unveiling Solutions for High Iron and Hemochromatosis Management...pt 2 · Revealing Wholeness with Dr.Troy

• 0:03
  Speaker 1: Welcome to Revealing Wholeness podcast dedicated to revealing the profound
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: connections between body, mind, and spirit, where we believe that
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: true wellness arises from addressing the root causes of our
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: health challenges, not just masking the symptoms. Here we dive
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: deep into how holistic approaches such as advanced chiropractic care,
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: personalized nutrition, and natural healing practices can transform your life.
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: Now Here is doctor Troy.
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: Hello and welcome. I'm doctor Troy. This is Part two
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: in high iron and Hemochromatosis. I wasn't planning on doing
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: a part two, but that you know what we talked
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: about kind of what things we should do to keep
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: iron out of the system, kind of like reducing iron intake,
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: obviously staying away from iron, cookwaar things like that, maybe
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: perhaps bine being iron with the milk thistle and things
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: of that nature, maybe giving blood as well as possibly
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: doing some liver clearing. But I didn't really go heavily
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: into what mineral deficiencies might be in place that would
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: consistently keep iron in the system. And so there are
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: things that will actually lend towards decreasing iron in the system.
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: But before we talk about that there is some big
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: concerns about high iron, and in adults, high iron can
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: very much lead to a number of conditions, and of
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: course the bigger issues there are things like heart disease
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: and cancer, and so iron becomes kind of a prominent
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: figure in terms of we want to make sure that
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: that's controlled. And what's interesting is my semi cancer clients
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: have indeed high iron and ferretin being excessively high. Is
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: this storage of iron and tissues which tends to cause problems,
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: and so we want to get that out of tissues
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: sooner the better. Now I am getting ready to discuss
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: some things that I have read in a book by
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: Larry Wilson, since he's pretty much the expert in mineral
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: interactions within each other in the body and how things work.
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: And of course Larry did a lot of his work
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: with hair mineral analysis. So if some of you thought about, hey,
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: I want to have a hair test and see what
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: my minerals are like. There are a few companies that
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: I will use. I tend to stay clear of companies
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: that wash the hair excessively or use chemicals. And yet
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: one of the companies that has been routinely advertised to me,
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: I guess that is the best way to put it
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: marketed to me is probably better way is one that
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: does use acetone to wash the hair, and I just disagree.
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: I don't think that it's a wise maneuver. And again,
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: if I guess if everything we did was off hair
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: washed with acetone, at least perhaps maybe we could make
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: mineral balances correct because we would atone for or attune
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: to the acetone washing away certain minerals. But we'd have
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: to figure out, well what minerals get washed away when
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: we wash hair with acetone. So the other question is, well,
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: how can I trust a hair mineral analysis if let's
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: say somebody's using shampoo that has selenium in it, like
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: Selson Blue. Well, now I'm going to have selenium off
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: the chart, and of course you do need to understand that.
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: And what I'll tell clients is that if you're going
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: to do a hair test, we don't want any product
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: on the hair, and we definitely don't want any coloring
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: or things of that nature. And a lot of women
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: and some men do color their hair, and so I
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: tell them, before your next coloring come in, and let's
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: make sure that we get kind of the short hair
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: is the back of your head, so that they are
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: not adulterated at all, or at least as little as
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: humanly possible. And then to wash the hair. I tell folks,
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: buy a natural organic bar soap and wash your hair
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: with it for at least a good week. And sometimes
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: you have doctors that will get pretty strict and say, hey,
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: at least two, if not four weeks, some six weeks
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: of washing with just no conditioners, nothing. They want just
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: natural bar soap that's got very few ingredients, that's just
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: as completely organic as you can. And that's fine. You
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: could be strict and or you can just say, hey,
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: I'm going to do the very best I can and
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: I'm going to be pretty clean. Great, that would be awesome.
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: So Larry talks about what lowers iron in the blood,
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: since we're dealing with a high iron situation. Are Number
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: one is zinc, and so zinc running the immune system
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: and zinc being stored in the liver would be important. Now,
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: we can't just stare at zinc because in order to
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: absorb zinc, if we have low zinc, we need B six,
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: and the good kind of B six, not the synthetic
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: kind that's in probably every supplement on the market. So
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: getting things in like liver, getting things in like egg
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: yolks and nutritional yeast and blackstrap molasses where we'd get
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: a whole host to be vitamins would be wise. And
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: so zinc itself we tend to think about, or at
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: least I do, as a gateway mineral. Once zinc gets
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: in the system, it tends to have a lot of
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: other minerals be absorbed and get in the system. And
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: why well, zinc running our immune system is super important,
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: and if high iron is going to mess up our
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: immune system, then it makes sense that zinc would be
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: probably the most important mineral that we could get into
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: the system. And again I will tell you that the
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: vast majority of zinc supplements out there are complete garbage
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: and don't bother taking them because they will just cause
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: more problems. Now, next is chromium, which I find interesting
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: is chromium is very much implicated in blood sugar management.
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: And what's fascinating is sugar actually raises iron in the blood.
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: Now we didn't talk about that in part one, but
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: if you have a high carb diet and you are
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: doing lots of sugar, you probably are lending to the
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: problem of why you have high iron in the blood.
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: Now that includes all forms of sugar like alcohol, glucose
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: sugar itself. You know, you just want to be careful. Now,
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: other things that can raise iron in the blood is copper,
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: and that is the core of the vitamin C complex.
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: It's not often that people will have an issue with
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: copper because they typically don't eat foods that are very
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: high in vitamin C, and that's most greens. But if
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: we get a ton of copper from like copper pipes,
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: copper bracelets, copper necklaces, copper rings, a copper or iud,
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: I mean, copper is just everywhere. I did a test
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: and I think I did a podcast on this about
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: six months ago. As I was testing water in my
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: house straight from the tap, cold water, and it registered
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: about an eighty six on this water testing meter, and
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: it was literally saying, okay, particulate per million whatever it
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: was sixty four or eighty four. And then I ran
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: the hot until it was as hot as it could
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: get and it read more than double. And I was like, wow,
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: that's a lot of copper going in the water, because
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: that's what's technically going to be there. Now, we could
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: say that you need to flush your hot water tank.
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: I suppose that might be true, and there might be
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: some particulate in there, but ultimately hot water tanks are
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: typically glass, and mine being glass as well, so I'm
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: not gonna hold out very much for that. But I
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: am going to suspect that the copper pipes that that
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: hot water flows through is leeching out the copper from
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: that pipes. Now, is an extra eighty parts per million
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: a big deal? Well, no, not at once, but over time. Yes,
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: And if you're showering in hot water, then you're probably
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: absorbing copper through your skin. That's metallic. Next is manganese. Now,
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: manganese I've done some podcasts on in the past, and
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: manganese is in a lot of wells in my particular neighborhood,
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: and so I deal with a lot of fat, flat
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: feet in my office, and so manganese is a ligament
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: strengthener or makes them taut, not tight. Though I want
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: to use the word tight. Most of us are can think, well,
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: I don't want to be tight, not tight like you know,
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: medically or sore. I've just worked in the yard. My
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: muscles are stiff, not tight like stiffness, but tight like
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: put together correctly, and they flex right without having too
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: much elasticity. So manganese super important in also helping keep
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: iron at a minimum, if you will, or at least
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: in the right saturation, in the right content and the
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: blood as well as in stored tissues. Now, next I
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: found interesting was egg protein. I thought, okay, well, egg protein,
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: that's fascinating. So the whites of eggs technically help keep
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: iron in check. Next would be nickel, and not the
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: metallic nickel. We do actually need nickel in its organic
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: form to run certain body processes, though it is considered
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: a trace mineral. Next is calcium, one of my favorites,
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: and as we get down the line, these are less
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: responsible for keeping iron at bay, if you will, And
• 9:44
  Speaker 2: so as we get to calcium and magnesium both okay,
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: these are not real awesome things to do for iron,
• 9:51
  Speaker 2: but they would be helpful. The other thing is a
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: vegetarian diet. So if you're a type A blood tat
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: type out there, and you know your type A and
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: you have a high iron situation, a vegetarian diet you
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: could do quite effortlessly. Now, why a vegetarian diet, well
• 10:09
  Speaker 2: number one is you're not eating red meat, and therefore
• 10:12
  Speaker 2: you're not getting the access to the iron, and that's
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: the big deal. So again, Type A blood types can
• 10:17
  Speaker 2: handle vegetarian diets, where OS tend to not do so
• 10:21
  Speaker 2: well doing that, So I don't necessarily recommend that for everyone.
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: And then last, I mean, if you really wanted to,
• 10:27
  Speaker 2: you could get cadmium in your body, which is a
• 10:30
  Speaker 2: heavy metal, and I don't recommend it, but cadmium tends
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: to bind to iron. So those are at least some
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: ideas as we go through that process of figuring out, hey,
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: how do I help my overall iron in my blood
• 10:44
  Speaker 2: if I've got too much? Now interestingly enough, B twelve,
• 10:50
  Speaker 2: which is commonly done to help iron, what will raise
• 10:54
  Speaker 2: iron in the blood only because if it's an iron
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: deficiency anemia, BE twelve can actually assists that. So it's
• 11:02
  Speaker 2: not like if I take B twelve, I'm gonna force
• 11:04
  Speaker 2: iron into the blood. It's not gonna work like that.
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: So if you're taking B twelve and you're thinking, oh
• 11:09
  Speaker 2: my gosh, I'm taking B twelve and I've got high iron,
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: this is really stupid. No, it doesn't work like that.
• 11:14
  Speaker 2: But follic acid would probably be a little bit more
• 11:17
  Speaker 2: helpful if you have high ferretin, which is the stored
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: iron we talked about, and you don't have a lot
• 11:23
  Speaker 2: of serum iron, so to move that ferratin out of
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: storage into the blood, yeah, we'd want some of those
• 11:30
  Speaker 2: minerals and some folic acid and some B twelve to
• 11:32
  Speaker 2: be present. And if we have high iron, like a
• 11:36
  Speaker 2: lot of my cancer folks, will we want to at
• 11:39
  Speaker 2: some point in time when they can tolerate it and
• 11:40
  Speaker 2: they feel like they're on this other side of healing,
• 11:43
  Speaker 2: that now they start to give blood to literally start
• 11:47
  Speaker 2: pulling that ferratin out of storage and making new red
• 11:50
  Speaker 2: blood cells. And that's a whole process in and of itself,
• 11:53
  Speaker 2: but that at least gets us, at least to this
• 11:55
  Speaker 2: point of understanding of how do we handle some high
• 11:59
  Speaker 2: iron situation in the blood and how can we help?
• 12:02
  Speaker 2: And again, I still have a strong conviction that it
• 12:05
  Speaker 2: is a lot of liver dysfunction when I'm dealing with
• 12:08
  Speaker 2: a high iron situation, that the liver is not expressing
• 12:11
  Speaker 2: it or getting rid of it like it should or could.
• 12:14
  Speaker 2: And again that's my own opinion until it's proven. We
• 12:18
  Speaker 2: can't really say that I'm right or wrong, and so
• 12:20
  Speaker 2: those are just things that I hold. But ultimately, if
• 12:24
  Speaker 2: indeed that milk thistle is a binder to iron, and
• 12:29
  Speaker 2: milk thistle is very liver protective and liver restorative, it
• 12:35
  Speaker 2: kind of makes sense that you're probably dealing with a
• 12:38
  Speaker 2: liver issue. Though that's just my thoughts. So I hope
• 12:41
  Speaker 2: that was helpful. Until next time, I'm doctor Troy, and
• 12:44
  Speaker 2: remember there is way more right with you than there
• 12:47
  Speaker 2: is wrong with you.
