  1. Can it be thought that body system withhold iron to starve cancer cells
    in tumor & supplemented iron may interfere this defence mechanism? Low
    hemoglobin levels, The destuructions or changes in RBCs, Effecting
    absorption in intestines & its metabolism may be related to this
    mechanism.

    in tumor <

    Yes that is the process ..
    And therefore one has a concurrent INCREASE in transferrin saturation
    ... the iron 'carrying' protein.
    This .. saturation .. and its' .. leaking /allowing access to the
    pathogen OF the iron .. seems to be one of the key mechanisms of
    'acquisition' of iron by a pathogen / virus /cancer / bacteria / fungus
    ...
    When it gets to a certain POINT of .. saturation ..

  3. Mostly discouraging the "angiogenesis" at tumor site will also be a
    defence mechanism to starve the pathogens in latencies/tumor.
