Many bacteria are dependent on iron for metabolism, iron-loving "iron bacteria" they call them. Did the doctors or health department test you or your water pipes for "iron bacteria" that might be in higher concentrations than normal? Water treatment plants deal with this type of bacteria and have mechanisms in place to precipitate out the iron oxide with the bacteria attached, to purify the water we drink and bath in. Google "iron bacteria".
While some bacteria thrive on iron, others HATE it and are killed by its presence.
This may explain why my "iron bath" cured my 2 year old rash overnight. I postulate that the iron-loving bacteria in my rusty bath water must have met head on with an iron-phobic type of bacteria that I harbored in my skin.
Have you had any other high iron blood levels since 2004? How did they treat it? EDTA? Dialysis? DE? (or secret?)
