Okay getting the iron out of the blood is great, but how do get rid of the iron that’s locked into the organs? That’s what kills us.

Most of the iron is stored in the liver. If you suffer from *massive* iron overload, then it will spill into all the organs and tissues. To get the iron out in a hurry, give blood. Each donation removes about 250mg of iron each time (0.5mg of Fe per mL or 250mg per half liter donation). You may also chelate it out with IP6 safely. IP6 isn’t nearly as fast as blood donation, but it does enter pretty much all of the body’s cells. Will the liver clear first or non-liver tissues clear first? I don’t know. Will they instead clear at the same time? I also don’t know.

@@wyattlavigne Good info, thank you. I can’t give blood, told I was too underweight. I was wondering how else to do it. I’ll look into chelation therapy.
