I'm happy to pray for you.
That's gotta be a challenge bigger than people realize.
I won't offer medical advice, but let you know that I can relate.
This past month I was concerned that I had a turbo cancer, so my heart goes out to you.
Since hemoglobin production is dependent on a number of things, I will only share what I do for myself and did for my Mom to help with our specific challenges for increasing hemoglobin and iron.
Here's a common meal.
I eat beef liver steaks with onions, lots of garlic and rosemary spice. This probably maintains enough iron at a pound/ week. For those with absorption issues due to gluten and chemo, I don't know. I do know that beef liver is one of the best sources.
Gluten/ wheat bread, barley, rye, oats block nutrient absorption in most Americans.
If I make it in a broth or boil with beans or quinoa, I add it at the end so it stays tender. I use the same basic ingredients and add different for variety from time to time.
If I fry it, I try not to burn or brown it.
I crush lots of garlic 20 minutes prior to cooking to increase the Alicin levels.
Medium heat with coconut oil or animal fat.
Add liver
Add onions
Sprinkle on Rosemary
Fresh grind tricorn pepper
Flip the steak and only cook as long as necessary. It should be tender, especially if using calf liver.
Spread on garlic or add to oil at very end just before turning off the heat.
Don't overcook the garlic.
Keep the lid on to capture the moisture for sauce . Let it cool a few minutes with the lid on and serve.
Pour over the onions and garlic oil.
A nurse called my brother to ask permission to give a dangerous blood transfusion. He agreed without checking with me and the wicked nurse gave my Mom the contaminated blood just to get her iron number up that was borderline. The dirt bags risked Mom's life and that might have caused her to die.
I would have donated my own blood if I had known first. I would have given her an extra couple pounds of liver immediately in her bone broth and that would have corrected the doctor prescribed malnutrition who caused her anemia.
Her Drs knew Jack Squat about health and nutrition. Why? They aren't required to learn and it doesn't bring in the big bucks.
I think the average 4th grader had a better working knowledge of nutrition than the doctors and dieticians.
For more information, here's a short class on the subject by Dr Berry. He's one of those that got motivated to study nutrition. He recommends the carnivore diet, so I'll throw in my own extra right now. Organic dark leafy greens grown in iron rich soil is another good source.
Ken Berry has more information available on his YouTube channels and social media if that interests you. This one is specifically on animal sources high in iron.
