"may alter disease outcomes. "
They are proposing a possible course of research, nothing to show yet.
Remember, you didn't originate any of the research on iron, no one referes
to you in anysense as being related to or a part of iron related research,
and the nobel folk will never know you ever existed, nor will any
religious group, nor anyone or any group doing research. All that said to
remind you that when research is undertaken about iron you have nothing to
do with it and it is in no way referes nor is in any way a confirmation of
your thesis. You learned about the situation that in some, repeat, some
situations iron can have a toxic effect when too much is present from a
book you read; you didn't discover this now standard bit of accepted info
that has been around for a long time. Your crude spray gun attempt to
connect dots about iron to your religious notions and veggie alone choice
of foods has nothing to do with real research, how many shoe horns do you
go through in a year trying to make this work?

Implementation of an iron reduction protocol in patients with peripheral
vascular disease: VA cooperative study no. 410: The Iron (Fe) and
Atherosclerosis Study (FeAST).Zacharski LR, Chow BK, Howes PS, Lavori PW, Shamayeva G.
BACKGROUND: Iron accumulates imperceptibly over time in adults because intake
exceeds loss and because no physiologic mechanism exists for excreting levels
that may be toxic. Levels of stored iron represented by the serum ferritin
concentration have been implicated in the pathogenesis of vascular (and other)
diseases, but the role of such stored iron remains controversial. Our
hypothesis was that reduction in body iron stores to levels typical of children
and premenopausal women (corresponding to ferritin levels of approximately 25
ng/mL) would alter morbidity and mortality rates in patients with advanced
peripheral vascular disease.Methods and results A randomized, single-blinded,
clinical trial of graded reduction of iron stores by controlled phlebotomy was
undertaken in patients with advanced peripheral vascular disease. Details of
implementation of the protocol for testing this unusual experimental
intervention are reported. CONCLUSIONS: A methodology is described for testing
the concept that reduction of body iron stores (while avoiding iron deficiency)
may alter disease outcomes. This methodology appears to be suitable for further
testing to determine whether levels of iron stores presumed to be pathologic
contribute to disease initiation or progression.PMID: 15389223 [PubMed - in process]
