In this video, we’re going to talk about chronic inflammation and anemia.

One of the first lines of defense against pathogens is to withhold nutrients from microbes. Iron and a few other nutrients are vital to the growth of bacteria. In fact, both good and bad bacteria need iron to exist in the body.

Sequestration is a situation where your body is locking up iron and other minerals from pathogens. This prevents pathogens from obtaining food.

Pathogens have counter-strategies that allow them to break open cells to acquire the iron they need.

Those who have too much iron are very susceptible to infections. This is why—bacteria and other microbes have a lot of nutrients to help them grow and reproduce.

Other pathogens—like Lyme disease—are able to survive off of manganese instead of iron.

When you have a chronic inflammation situation, you can become very deficient in iron, which can make you feel anemic and weak. Taking more iron can actually feed the pathogens at the same time.

Instead of taking more iron, address the underlying inflammation situation.

The best way to remedy this issue is to do intermittent fasting and take vitamin D.
