If I wasn't so JW brainwashed, I'd go and give blood tomorrow and solve the problem that way...

Don't think of it as giving blood, think of it as giving parts of blood.

Or you could go swimming and let the leeches get ya!

Exactly!

There is something called phytic acid in foods like flax seed, sesame seeds, rice bran and I think green tea. It's supposed to bind to the iron in foods so your body can't use it.

I wish I could get more info but that's all I got.

The absorption of iron is influenced by other constituents of a meal. Phytates, oxalates and phosphates present in plant foods can inhibit absorption, as can tannin in tea. Fibre may also inhibit absorption. Vitamin C greatly increases the absorption of non-haem iron. Foods rich in vitamin C include citrus fruits, green peppers, and fresh leafy green vegetables. Citric acid, sugars, amino acids and alcohol can also promote iron absorption. Iron absorption can also be influenced by the amount of iron in the diet. Lowered levels of iron in the diet result in improved absorption.

This isn't quite it, but similar to what I am thinking about.

Phytates, oxalates & phosphates in plants, tannin in tea and fibre may help block full iron absorption.

Vitamin C, citric acid, sugar, amino acids and alcohol will help your body soak all that iron up.

Still wracking my brain for more.

JH~ I vaguely remembering hearing that certain vitamins and minerals block iron absorption in the body. Have you talked to someone about nutrition? I'll try and dig that info out of my brain for you.
