    I have low iron


    stores,<<

    ???

    You have seven months worth of iron and up .. no less ..

    Your body stores seven months worth of iron and then the body begins to
    downregulate the absorption of iron to just keep that seven months
    worth 'topped up' ..

    So 'low iron stores' .. means .. nothing ..

    Means the doctor is .. ignorant to basic physiological .. FACTS ..

    The infection in the body NEEDS iron to initially 'take' in the body
    AND to run / proliferate in the body.

    The research has shown the most efficient substance for biofilm
    clearance is .. lactoferrin .. the human bodies FIRST 'line of defense'
    ...

    It is devoid of iron .. floating .. in all the shiny mucus covered
    areas of the body.

    USUALLY devoid of iron .. BUT .. when the body is in a state of
    ELEVATED iron .. the lactoferrin cannot do its' .. job ..

    That is of sequestering the iron AWAY from the invader.

    The key seems to be to lower the iron levels to the point the body can
    NOW .. do its' .. job ..

    That is the lactoferrin can NOW bind up / sequester the iron AWAY from
    the invader.

    A component of innate immunity prevents bacterial biofilm development.

    Antimicrobial factors form one arm of the innate immune system, which
    protects
    mucosal surfaces from bacterial infection. These factors can rapidly
    kill
    bacteria deposited on mucosal surfaces and prevent acute invasive
    infections.
    In many chronic infections, however, bacteria live in biofilms, which
    are
    distinct, matrix-encased communities specialized for surface
    persistence. The
    transition from a free-living, independent existence to a biofilm
    lifestyle can
    be devastating, because biofilms notoriously resist killing by host
    defence
    mechanisms and antibiotics. We hypothesized that the innate immune
    system
    possesses specific activity to protect against biofilm infections. Here
    we show
    that lactoferrin, a ubiquitous and abundant constituent of human
    external
    secretions, blocks biofilm development by the opportunistic pathogen
    Pseudomonas aeruginosa. This occurs at lactoferrin concentrations below
    those
    that kill or prevent growth. By chelating iron, lactoferrin stimulates
    twitching, a specialized form of surface motility, causing the bacteria
    to
    wander across the surface instead of forming cell clusters and
    biofilms. These
    findings reveal a specific anti-biofilm defence mechanism acting at a
    critical
    juncture in biofilm development, the time bacteria stop roaming as
    individuals
    and aggregate into durable communities.

    What you don't think there are studies which 'show' / read iron
    deficiency and they give the person iron until they kill them?

    DUE TO .. too much iron .. ?

    It's not, it's about urinary tract infections. Wrong article, I think.
