1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:02,520
iron deficiency anemia can be a

2
00:00:02,520 --> 00:00:04,160
debilitating condition

3
00:00:04,160 --> 00:00:06,319
as you may already know if you've been

4
00:00:06,319 --> 00:00:08,880
diagnosed with iron deficiency anemia

5
00:00:08,880 --> 00:00:10,639
this video is going to help you a lot

6
00:00:10,639 --> 00:00:11,679
because i'm going to give you some

7
00:00:11,679 --> 00:00:13,280
information in it that you may

8
00:00:13,280 --> 00:00:16,560
never have heard before iron deficiency

9
00:00:16,560 --> 00:00:18,800
anemia is very very common across the

10
00:00:18,800 --> 00:00:19,359
world

11
00:00:19,359 --> 00:00:21,840
more than a billion and a half people

12
00:00:21,840 --> 00:00:23,359
suffer from it

13
00:00:23,359 --> 00:00:26,240
symptoms include fatigue weakness pale

14
00:00:26,240 --> 00:00:27,119
skin

15
00:00:27,119 --> 00:00:30,000
shortness of breath dizziness pica which

16
00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:31,279
means you have the

17
00:00:31,279 --> 00:00:34,000
overwhelming desire to eat dirt or clay

18
00:00:34,000 --> 00:00:35,360
or ice

19
00:00:35,360 --> 00:00:37,440
and leg tingling those are the most

20
00:00:37,440 --> 00:00:39,120
common symptoms

21
00:00:39,120 --> 00:00:40,800
the most common causes of iron

22
00:00:40,800 --> 00:00:42,960
deficiency anemia are either just not

23
00:00:42,960 --> 00:00:44,399
eating enough iron

24
00:00:44,399 --> 00:00:47,440
or not absorbing enough iron and that's

25
00:00:47,440 --> 00:00:48,960
what this video is really going to help

26
00:00:48,960 --> 00:00:50,079
you understand

27
00:00:50,079 --> 00:00:52,640
or you're losing blood from your body

28
00:00:52,640 --> 00:00:54,160
somewhere that you may or

29
00:00:54,160 --> 00:00:56,800
may not know about so if you're having

30
00:00:56,800 --> 00:00:58,399
any of these symptoms or if you've been

31
00:00:58,399 --> 00:01:00,239
diagnosed with iron deficiency anemia

32
00:01:00,239 --> 00:01:01,840
definitely follow up with your doctor to

33
00:01:01,840 --> 00:01:03,120
make sure you don't have

34
00:01:03,120 --> 00:01:05,360
some occult or hidden bleeding that

35
00:01:05,360 --> 00:01:06,720
you're not aware of

36
00:01:06,720 --> 00:01:09,280
but then after you've got that situated

37
00:01:09,280 --> 00:01:10,720
then it's time to worry about

38
00:01:10,720 --> 00:01:12,960
number one eating enough iron number two

39
00:01:12,960 --> 00:01:14,320
absorbing

40
00:01:14,320 --> 00:01:16,640
enough iron that's very very important

41
00:01:16,640 --> 00:01:18,560
i'm dr ken berry a family physician with

42
00:01:18,560 --> 00:01:20,640
20 years of clinical experience

43
00:01:20,640 --> 00:01:22,640
and i'm going to give you what may be

44
00:01:22,640 --> 00:01:24,560
your iron deficiency anemia

45
00:01:24,560 --> 00:01:27,040
solution the majority of the iron you

46
00:01:27,040 --> 00:01:28,320
eat is absorbed through

47
00:01:28,320 --> 00:01:31,040
your duodenum which is the first part of

48
00:01:31,040 --> 00:01:32,640
your small intestine

49
00:01:32,640 --> 00:01:34,479
most doctors know this you may or may

50
00:01:34,479 --> 00:01:35,840
not have known this

51
00:01:35,840 --> 00:01:38,079
uh but there is a bell curve

52
00:01:38,079 --> 00:01:39,040
distribution

53
00:01:39,040 --> 00:01:42,159
for your personal ability

54
00:01:42,159 --> 00:01:45,439
to absorb iron from your diet and it

55
00:01:45,439 --> 00:01:48,640
it is partly genetic but it's also

56
00:01:48,640 --> 00:01:49,759
partly the food

57
00:01:49,759 --> 00:01:51,360
that you're eating or the food that

58
00:01:51,360 --> 00:01:53,759
you're not eating many many doctors

59
00:01:53,759 --> 00:01:55,600
think that we all absorb iron the same

60
00:01:55,600 --> 00:01:57,759
exact way and in the same exact

61
00:01:57,759 --> 00:02:00,000
amount and that's just not true some

62
00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:01,680
people are very good at absorbing iron

63
00:02:01,680 --> 00:02:03,280
from their diet some people are very

64
00:02:03,280 --> 00:02:06,000
bad at absorbing iron from their diet

65
00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:07,759
there's a bell curve distribution like

66
00:02:07,759 --> 00:02:08,239
this

67
00:02:08,239 --> 00:02:10,720
this graphic so most people are right in

68
00:02:10,720 --> 00:02:12,000
the middle of this chart they

69
00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:15,040
absorb iron color blue well some people

70
00:02:15,040 --> 00:02:16,720
are on one end of the curve and they

71
00:02:16,720 --> 00:02:18,400
absorb it very very well

72
00:02:18,400 --> 00:02:20,560
out of their diet other people absorb

73
00:02:20,560 --> 00:02:22,959
iron very very poorly from their diet

74
00:02:22,959 --> 00:02:24,560
especially if they're not eating the

75
00:02:24,560 --> 00:02:26,319
right kind of iron

76
00:02:26,319 --> 00:02:29,120
in their diet there are two basic kinds

77
00:02:29,120 --> 00:02:31,040
of iron you can get from your diet

78
00:02:31,040 --> 00:02:34,080
there's plant-based iron which is called

79
00:02:34,080 --> 00:02:36,879
non-heme iron and we won't get into what

80
00:02:36,879 --> 00:02:38,239
that name means

81
00:02:38,239 --> 00:02:40,800
uh this is by far the most common iron

82
00:02:40,800 --> 00:02:42,480
that everybody around the world

83
00:02:42,480 --> 00:02:46,560
gets in their diet uh the problem is

84
00:02:46,560 --> 00:02:48,480
is that there are things in plants

85
00:02:48,480 --> 00:02:50,319
called phytic acid

86
00:02:50,319 --> 00:02:52,959
called polyphenols and call fiber which

87
00:02:52,959 --> 00:02:54,000
can inhibit

88
00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:56,160
your absorption of the iron that's

89
00:02:56,160 --> 00:02:58,400
contained in the plant-based food

90
00:02:58,400 --> 00:03:00,720
the most common sources of plant-based

91
00:03:00,720 --> 00:03:02,480
iron that you've probably been told to

92
00:03:02,480 --> 00:03:03,519
eat lots of

93
00:03:03,519 --> 00:03:07,120
are spinach kale fortified cereals

94
00:03:07,120 --> 00:03:10,480
uh dried fruit apricots raisins

95
00:03:10,480 --> 00:03:13,599
and beans lentils soybeans and then you

96
00:03:13,599 --> 00:03:15,200
may have also been told to take

97
00:03:15,200 --> 00:03:17,599
an iron supplement or a multivitamin

98
00:03:17,599 --> 00:03:19,120
with iron

99
00:03:19,120 --> 00:03:22,319
the problem with plant-based non-heme

100
00:03:22,319 --> 00:03:25,200
iron is that we don't absorb a lot of it

101
00:03:25,200 --> 00:03:25,920
none of us do

102
00:03:25,920 --> 00:03:28,319
even the very best absorbers can only

103
00:03:28,319 --> 00:03:30,239
absorb up to 12 percent

104
00:03:30,239 --> 00:03:33,440
give or take of the non-heme iron in

105
00:03:33,440 --> 00:03:34,400
plant foods

106
00:03:34,400 --> 00:03:38,000
some of us only absorb two percent of it

107
00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:40,799
because of the polyphenols the phytic

108
00:03:40,799 --> 00:03:42,159
acid and the fiber

109
00:03:42,159 --> 00:03:44,879
and so if you are a poor absorber you

110
00:03:44,879 --> 00:03:47,200
can eat all the spinach and kale

111
00:03:47,200 --> 00:03:50,080
and soybean stuff that you want and

112
00:03:50,080 --> 00:03:52,159
you're just not going to get enough iron

113
00:03:52,159 --> 00:03:54,319
absorbed into your body that your body

114
00:03:54,319 --> 00:03:56,480
can actually use

115
00:03:56,480 --> 00:03:59,040
and the iron found in iron supplements

116
00:03:59,040 --> 00:04:00,920
and prescription iron pills are

117
00:04:00,920 --> 00:04:02,239
notoriously

118
00:04:02,239 --> 00:04:05,360
poorly absorbed and much of them remain

119
00:04:05,360 --> 00:04:05,840
in your

120
00:04:05,840 --> 00:04:08,080
your gastrointestinal system and wind up

121
00:04:08,080 --> 00:04:09,680
in your colon which leads to the most

122
00:04:09,680 --> 00:04:11,120
common side effect

123
00:04:11,120 --> 00:04:12,480
of iron supplements and iron

124
00:04:12,480 --> 00:04:14,959
prescriptions which is constipation

125
00:04:14,959 --> 00:04:16,959
so if you've been eating tons of

126
00:04:16,959 --> 00:04:19,600
fortified cereals that are supposedly

127
00:04:19,600 --> 00:04:20,560
high in iron

128
00:04:20,560 --> 00:04:22,720
and lots of dark green leafy vegetables

129
00:04:22,720 --> 00:04:23,600
which are

130
00:04:23,600 --> 00:04:25,840
high in iron but perhaps you can absorb

131
00:04:25,840 --> 00:04:28,000
them then what i'm about to talk about

132
00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:30,320
next may surprise you but it also may be

133
00:04:30,320 --> 00:04:32,560
the key that unlocks your prison

134
00:04:32,560 --> 00:04:36,000
of iron deficiency anemia the iron found

135
00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:36,639
in

136
00:04:36,639 --> 00:04:39,360
animal foods like meat and eggs is

137
00:04:39,360 --> 00:04:39,919
called

138
00:04:39,919 --> 00:04:43,199
heme iron and it is a different

139
00:04:43,199 --> 00:04:46,479
uh molecular kind of iron than you would

140
00:04:46,479 --> 00:04:47,840
find in plants

141
00:04:47,840 --> 00:04:51,680
it is much much more absorbable

142
00:04:51,680 --> 00:04:54,800
and so even if a animal-based source of

143
00:04:54,800 --> 00:04:56,560
iron has less iron than a plant-based

144
00:04:56,560 --> 00:04:57,120
source

145
00:04:57,120 --> 00:04:58,960
you're probably still going to get more

146
00:04:58,960 --> 00:05:00,160
usable iron

147
00:05:00,160 --> 00:05:02,000
from the animal-based source meat and

148
00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:03,840
eggs than you would get from a

149
00:05:03,840 --> 00:05:05,360
plant-based source because you're able

150
00:05:05,360 --> 00:05:06,240
to absorb

151
00:05:06,240 --> 00:05:08,800
so much more of the heme iron versus the

152
00:05:08,800 --> 00:05:10,639
non-heme iron

153
00:05:10,639 --> 00:05:12,560
great sources of heme iron in

154
00:05:12,560 --> 00:05:14,000
animal-based foods are

155
00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:16,560
any liver at all from any animal is

156
00:05:16,560 --> 00:05:19,520
going to be a great source of heme iron

157
00:05:19,520 --> 00:05:21,440
many of the a serving of many livers

158
00:05:21,440 --> 00:05:23,280
will give you almost a full day supply

159
00:05:23,280 --> 00:05:25,600
of the iron that your body actually

160
00:05:25,600 --> 00:05:27,600
needs to and can absorb

161
00:05:27,600 --> 00:05:29,840
to use to correct your iron deficiency

162
00:05:29,840 --> 00:05:31,120
anemia

163
00:05:31,120 --> 00:05:33,199
other great sources are anchovies and

164
00:05:33,199 --> 00:05:34,639
sardines

165
00:05:34,639 --> 00:05:38,000
any beef any any meat uh

166
00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:40,240
muscle flesh of an animal is going to be

167
00:05:40,240 --> 00:05:42,000
a good source of iron some are a little

168
00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:43,120
better than others

169
00:05:43,120 --> 00:05:44,960
but if you if you are one of those

170
00:05:44,960 --> 00:05:47,120
people who just can't bring yourself

171
00:05:47,120 --> 00:05:50,479
to eat soft fluffy mammals which i

172
00:05:50,479 --> 00:05:52,479
totally get that i understand you can

173
00:05:52,479 --> 00:05:54,639
still get great sources of animal based

174
00:05:54,639 --> 00:05:55,759
heme iron

175
00:05:55,759 --> 00:05:58,800
from clams oysters mussels

176
00:05:58,800 --> 00:06:01,039
uh any poultry chicken or turkey or any

177
00:06:01,039 --> 00:06:02,400
other poultry is a good

178
00:06:02,400 --> 00:06:06,160
source of iron uh any seafood whatsoever

179
00:06:06,160 --> 00:06:09,600
and then any egg and pasture raised eggs

180
00:06:09,600 --> 00:06:11,199
whether the chickens or turkey have

181
00:06:11,199 --> 00:06:12,880
actually been allowed to go out and eat

182
00:06:12,880 --> 00:06:13,600
real

183
00:06:13,600 --> 00:06:16,479
chicken and turkey food have better iron

184
00:06:16,479 --> 00:06:16,880
and

185
00:06:16,880 --> 00:06:19,520
more absorbable iron but even the cheap

186
00:06:19,520 --> 00:06:21,120
eggs from the grocery store even the

187
00:06:21,120 --> 00:06:23,919
cheap canned oysters or clams or mussels

188
00:06:23,919 --> 00:06:26,639
any of these are really good sources of

189
00:06:26,639 --> 00:06:28,160
highly absorbable

190
00:06:28,160 --> 00:06:31,680
heme iron most heme iron is absorbed at

191
00:06:31,680 --> 00:06:32,560
a rate from

192
00:06:32,560 --> 00:06:36,160
20 to 40 percent and so

193
00:06:36,160 --> 00:06:37,840
if you go back to the bell curve if

194
00:06:37,840 --> 00:06:39,520
you're one of those very very poor

195
00:06:39,520 --> 00:06:40,560
absorbers

196
00:06:40,560 --> 00:06:43,199
of non-heme iron then adding just a

197
00:06:43,199 --> 00:06:44,560
little bit of animal food

198
00:06:44,560 --> 00:06:46,960
into your diet meat and eggs or

199
00:06:46,960 --> 00:06:48,319
hopefully liver

200
00:06:48,319 --> 00:06:51,120
you're going to get so much more iron

201
00:06:51,120 --> 00:06:52,560
from just a small portion

202
00:06:52,560 --> 00:06:54,720
of the meat than you would get from the

203
00:06:54,720 --> 00:06:55,919
plants

204
00:06:55,919 --> 00:06:57,840
most dairy foods are not really that

205
00:06:57,840 --> 00:06:59,199
great of a source of

206
00:06:59,199 --> 00:07:02,319
heme iron definitely skim milk low fat

207
00:07:02,319 --> 00:07:03,919
milk two percent milk those are not

208
00:07:03,919 --> 00:07:05,759
going to give you much iron if any at

209
00:07:05,759 --> 00:07:06,479
all

210
00:07:06,479 --> 00:07:08,960
uh parmesan cheese and then all of the

211
00:07:08,960 --> 00:07:09,520
different

212
00:07:09,520 --> 00:07:12,800
goat cheeses are the best dairy options

213
00:07:12,800 --> 00:07:14,639
if you're trying to get iron

214
00:07:14,639 --> 00:07:17,919
from dairy now listen up this is very

215
00:07:17,919 --> 00:07:19,520
important

216
00:07:19,520 --> 00:07:21,759
if you have made an ethical or religious

217
00:07:21,759 --> 00:07:22,880
decision

218
00:07:22,880 --> 00:07:26,400
not to eat meat in your diet

219
00:07:26,400 --> 00:07:28,400
that's okay but here's what you've got

220
00:07:28,400 --> 00:07:30,880
to understand if you're a poor absorber

221
00:07:30,880 --> 00:07:33,199
on the bell curve then you're never

222
00:07:33,199 --> 00:07:34,880
going to correct your iron deficiency

223
00:07:34,880 --> 00:07:35,759
anemia

224
00:07:35,759 --> 00:07:39,280
unless you add in some kind of animal

225
00:07:39,280 --> 00:07:41,840
based heme iron into your diet so that

226
00:07:41,840 --> 00:07:43,199
you can actually absorb it

227
00:07:43,199 --> 00:07:45,520
and your body can actually use it this

228
00:07:45,520 --> 00:07:46,720
is what i call

229
00:07:46,720 --> 00:07:50,000
therapeutic meat okay now there are

230
00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:51,280
multiple examples

231
00:07:51,280 --> 00:07:53,759
where religions have made exemptions for

232
00:07:53,759 --> 00:07:55,440
people's health care

233
00:07:55,440 --> 00:07:58,800
a good example is a jewish rabbi

234
00:07:58,800 --> 00:08:02,800
has said that it's okay for jews to use

235
00:08:02,800 --> 00:08:06,240
desiccated pork thyroid in the form of

236
00:08:06,240 --> 00:08:07,120
armor nature

237
00:08:07,120 --> 00:08:11,120
wp or thyroid because it's therapeutic

238
00:08:11,120 --> 00:08:13,840
and so even though jews are told not to

239
00:08:13,840 --> 00:08:14,639
eat pork

240
00:08:14,639 --> 00:08:17,120
they can use this product because it has

241
00:08:17,120 --> 00:08:19,360
a therapeutic benefit that they perhaps

242
00:08:19,360 --> 00:08:20,319
can't get

243
00:08:20,319 --> 00:08:22,400
from the synthetic thyroid replacement

244
00:08:22,400 --> 00:08:25,039
hormones so i want you to consider

245
00:08:25,039 --> 00:08:28,720
having a therapeutic meat exemption

246
00:08:28,720 --> 00:08:31,680
in whatever your ethical diet vegan the

247
00:08:31,680 --> 00:08:32,719
vegetarian

248
00:08:32,719 --> 00:08:34,320
whether it's just ethical or whether

249
00:08:34,320 --> 00:08:35,760
it's religious

250
00:08:35,760 --> 00:08:38,320
you really need to think your health

251
00:08:38,320 --> 00:08:38,800
takes

252
00:08:38,800 --> 00:08:40,640
precedent over most of the things in

253
00:08:40,640 --> 00:08:42,479
your life if you're not healthy if

254
00:08:42,479 --> 00:08:44,240
you're constantly fatigued and short of

255
00:08:44,240 --> 00:08:44,959
breath

256
00:08:44,959 --> 00:08:46,880
and considering eating the ice out of

257
00:08:46,880 --> 00:08:48,240
the inside of your freezer because

258
00:08:48,240 --> 00:08:50,240
you're so iron deficient

259
00:08:50,240 --> 00:08:51,760
think how much more productive you would

260
00:08:51,760 --> 00:08:54,000
be think how much more uh

261
00:08:54,000 --> 00:08:56,240
successful you would be promoting things

262
00:08:56,240 --> 00:08:58,480
that you believe in

263
00:08:58,480 --> 00:09:00,720
making money taking care of your family

264
00:09:00,720 --> 00:09:02,640
if you actually could get rid of those

265
00:09:02,640 --> 00:09:04,000
symptoms and get rid of your iron

266
00:09:04,000 --> 00:09:05,200
deficiency anemia

267
00:09:05,200 --> 00:09:06,959
so i want you to really think about this

268
00:09:06,959 --> 00:09:09,920
and consider a therapeutic meat option

269
00:09:09,920 --> 00:09:11,760
and not that you're going to enjoy the

270
00:09:11,760 --> 00:09:14,080
eggs or meat not that you're going to

271
00:09:14,080 --> 00:09:15,839
proclaim that you're doing this not that

272
00:09:15,839 --> 00:09:17,519
you're going to

273
00:09:17,519 --> 00:09:19,360
espouse this to other people you're

274
00:09:19,360 --> 00:09:20,560
doing this for your health

275
00:09:20,560 --> 00:09:23,440
and i think that is ethical and and it

276
00:09:23,440 --> 00:09:24,959
makes very good sense to me

277
00:09:24,959 --> 00:09:26,959
now you don't have to eat mammals to get

278
00:09:26,959 --> 00:09:28,560
your therapeutic meat

279
00:09:28,560 --> 00:09:31,680
treatment you don't even have to eat

280
00:09:31,680 --> 00:09:34,000
things with faces animals with faces you

281
00:09:34,000 --> 00:09:35,519
could literally

282
00:09:35,519 --> 00:09:39,200
get your heme iron from clams oysters

283
00:09:39,200 --> 00:09:42,480
and mussels and from eggs so you never

284
00:09:42,480 --> 00:09:44,399
had to eat anything with a face and so

285
00:09:44,399 --> 00:09:46,959
i'm i hope you understand i'm being very

286
00:09:46,959 --> 00:09:48,560
respectful i understand you've made a

287
00:09:48,560 --> 00:09:49,200
choice

288
00:09:49,200 --> 00:09:51,920
ethically to not eat animals or to not

289
00:09:51,920 --> 00:09:53,680
eat mammals or wherever

290
00:09:53,680 --> 00:09:56,640
your line of ingestion happens to fall

291
00:09:56,640 --> 00:09:58,560
and i respect that but at the same time

292
00:09:58,560 --> 00:10:00,000
i don't want you to suffer for the rest

293
00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:00,800
of your life

294
00:10:00,800 --> 00:10:03,360
with iron deficiency anemia or wind up

295
00:10:03,360 --> 00:10:05,279
having heart failure or wind up having

296
00:10:05,279 --> 00:10:07,200
to have blood transfusions because of

297
00:10:07,200 --> 00:10:08,000
this

298
00:10:08,000 --> 00:10:10,160
disabling iron deficiency anemia that

299
00:10:10,160 --> 00:10:11,440
you currently have

300
00:10:11,440 --> 00:10:13,760
the most at risk populations for

301
00:10:13,760 --> 00:10:15,600
developing iron deficiency anemia

302
00:10:15,600 --> 00:10:19,360
are children of all ages uh reproductive

303
00:10:19,360 --> 00:10:19,760
age

304
00:10:19,760 --> 00:10:22,079
women pregnant women and then the

305
00:10:22,079 --> 00:10:24,000
elderly these are the people most at

306
00:10:24,000 --> 00:10:25,600
risk for developing this

307
00:10:25,600 --> 00:10:27,760
and these are the people that regardless

308
00:10:27,760 --> 00:10:29,519
of what ethical decisions you've made

309
00:10:29,519 --> 00:10:30,720
about what you're going to eat or not

310
00:10:30,720 --> 00:10:31,279
eat

311
00:10:31,279 --> 00:10:32,800
you really need to think about the

312
00:10:32,800 --> 00:10:34,800
therapeutic meat option

313
00:10:34,800 --> 00:10:37,839
in order to reclaim your health people

314
00:10:37,839 --> 00:10:39,839
who are frequent blood donors can have

315
00:10:39,839 --> 00:10:41,760
this congestive heart failure patients

316
00:10:41,760 --> 00:10:43,600
can have iron deficiency anemia

317
00:10:43,600 --> 00:10:44,959
people with gut conditions like

318
00:10:44,959 --> 00:10:47,120
ulcerative colitis crohn's

319
00:10:47,120 --> 00:10:49,040
celiac disease or if you've had a row

320
00:10:49,040 --> 00:10:50,320
and y

321
00:10:50,320 --> 00:10:52,560
gastric bypass surgery you are at

322
00:10:52,560 --> 00:10:54,079
increased risk for iron deficiency

323
00:10:54,079 --> 00:10:55,200
anemia

324
00:10:55,200 --> 00:10:56,959
and even though you may not think it's

325
00:10:56,959 --> 00:10:58,720
ethical to consume

326
00:10:58,720 --> 00:11:00,880
animal products i really think you

327
00:11:00,880 --> 00:11:02,480
should consider the therapeutic meat

328
00:11:02,480 --> 00:11:03,279
option

329
00:11:03,279 --> 00:11:05,440
another big population of people who

330
00:11:05,440 --> 00:11:07,440
suffer from iron deficiency anemia

331
00:11:07,440 --> 00:11:09,920
and oftentimes they don't know why and

332
00:11:09,920 --> 00:11:11,839
maybe even their doctor doesn't know

333
00:11:11,839 --> 00:11:13,760
is people who take proton pump

334
00:11:13,760 --> 00:11:15,680
inhibitors like ass effects

335
00:11:15,680 --> 00:11:19,040
prevacid protonix and nexium these block

336
00:11:19,040 --> 00:11:21,120
your stomach acid and stomach acid is

337
00:11:21,120 --> 00:11:24,720
vital for the proper absorption of iron

338
00:11:24,720 --> 00:11:27,440
from your diet and so if you're taking

339
00:11:27,440 --> 00:11:28,959
one of those pills and you've been iron

340
00:11:28,959 --> 00:11:30,160
deficient anemic

341
00:11:30,160 --> 00:11:31,600
and your doctor didn't know why i

342
00:11:31,600 --> 00:11:33,519
couldn't figure it out that's probably

343
00:11:33,519 --> 00:11:34,399
why

344
00:11:34,399 --> 00:11:37,680
in children iron is absolutely mandatory

345
00:11:37,680 --> 00:11:39,680
for them to develop into their full

346
00:11:39,680 --> 00:11:41,680
potential as adults

347
00:11:41,680 --> 00:11:43,519
and one there there are many parts of

348
00:11:43,519 --> 00:11:44,959
the world where there's just no animal

349
00:11:44,959 --> 00:11:46,399
food available or

350
00:11:46,399 --> 00:11:49,760
religious uh rules prevent children from

351
00:11:49,760 --> 00:11:50,720
eating enough

352
00:11:50,720 --> 00:11:53,200
heme iron and animal based products in

353
00:11:53,200 --> 00:11:55,600
order to not be iron fishing anemic

354
00:11:55,600 --> 00:11:58,720
in the u.s and other modern societies

355
00:11:58,720 --> 00:12:00,639
it's very common for a child to be an

356
00:12:00,639 --> 00:12:02,160
accidental vegan

357
00:12:02,160 --> 00:12:04,399
and i've got a video about that i'll

358
00:12:04,399 --> 00:12:05,519
have it pop up

359
00:12:05,519 --> 00:12:07,920
here or here so that you can make sure

360
00:12:07,920 --> 00:12:09,600
that your child is not an accidental

361
00:12:09,600 --> 00:12:10,399
vegan

362
00:12:10,399 --> 00:12:12,639
but that can lead to very severe iron

363
00:12:12,639 --> 00:12:14,240
deficiency anemia

364
00:12:14,240 --> 00:12:16,000
and the doctor may not even be able to

365
00:12:16,000 --> 00:12:17,600
figure that one out either

366
00:12:17,600 --> 00:12:19,279
i've included some research links in the

367
00:12:19,279 --> 00:12:20,639
show notes down below

368
00:12:20,639 --> 00:12:22,320
if in case you want to do some further

369
00:12:22,320 --> 00:12:24,399
reading this is dr berry i'll see you

370
00:12:24,399 --> 00:12:27,040
next time
