I’ve recently written a book about surviving Hereditary Hemochromatosis, and I’d like to invite you to read the introduction for free. Watch the video and learn how!
(Spoiler Alert: It’s on this website.)
Hemochromatosis is a dangerous, even deadly disease, easily diagnosable with a genetic test or an iron profile — so why is it so often missed? Why do so many end up gravely ill? Why do many families first get the diagnosis after an autopsy?
There are reasons, and we review them here.
The sad truth is doctors misdiagnose, or entirely miss, Hereditary Hemochromatosis all the time - so if you’re in a high-risk population, it pays to advocate for yourself. Know the risk factors and the early warning signs, then demand to be tested.

Hemochromatosis is easy to treat, though early detection is crucial to prevent damage to the glands, organs, and joints. The genetic iron-processing disorder is managed through the literally ancient medical practice of bloodletting. In this video, we describe how that works to lower the level of iron in the blood first, then the rest of the body.

Here, we dive into the fascinating history of phlebotomy, Hippocrates, and the earliest medical traditions of Ancient Greece - and how the “balancing of humors” actually works to treat one real disease: Hereditary Hemochromatosis.
