So, now I've got anemia.

At least that's what the latest bloodwork says, according to my new internal med doc in a call late yesterday. Sheesh. I do know this -- I came home yesterday morning after dropping Rosey off and rather than get anything done on the long list of stuff I'm behind on I was so tired I had to crash on the couch (with the movie Bataan running on the television: all Thompsons, Vickers guns and hand grenades, and the deaths of many perfidious Japs, normally some of my favorite things) and went lights out and didn't wake until 2:00 PM. And this was after I got a reasonably full night's sleep. Something's going on beyond what I already had. Keep me in your prayers.

The PTB, go out of their way to outright kill off. Poison any dissident that refuses to go along with their master plan. We here are not the type who go along to get along. You are cut from the same bolt of cloth as Locke, and Paine. You are in my prayer' nightly brother. Behind enemy lines. In Unconstitutional, collectivist Ct. I will never comply. Nor stand down. AAA/O.11B20.

You and your family are in my daily prayers. None of us know how long we'll get, but you have made good use of the time you've been given. Tis' the mark of a man. Don't worry and be happy, because, why not? You may as well be happy rather than not. It's more fun that way. I've got a little anemia too, so I can't lend you any of mine. Keep on ridin', Midnight Rider.

As my neighbor lady said after being diagnosed with stomach cancer, "No sense getting all goofy about it."

Keep on truckin'.

Man, given your health problems/treatments, not surprised. Get a mess of collards, cooked clams/shellfish, tomatoes, and crushed peanuts on top of your favorite enriched pasta. Those kinds of foods pump up the B vitamins and iron. Check possible relations with your scripted meds, lay off antihistamines or stuff like Nasacort, and stay away from crowds[/planes] (with infectious stuff that will challenge your immune system). It'll come back.

I have a sensitive stomach and I find that the 'heme iron' from Colorado Biolabs is best for me. I'd send you some, but you likely don't want random people, even subscribers, from the internet sending you pills in the mail. :)

Concrete advice: www.lef.org.

Life Extension Foundation is a 501-c3 non-profit org that funds research into diseases, especially that of aging.

I am a long-time LEF subscriber/buyer. Their advice and nutritional supplements saved my life and turned my health around when I was 500+lbs and had 1 foot in the grave an another on a banana peel.

This is NOT a commercial advertisement or solicitation, nor should this be considered medical advice, and I am not a licensed physician.

(LEF is NOT the for-profit company (also in Fl) that cryogenic freezes/stores people so future doctors can fix whatever affliction killed them for which there is no cure today.)
