Excellent 2nd paragraph.!I was an internist/fellowshlp hematologist before going to a dermatology residency for which I apologize even though I only practiced medical dermatology.

Most doctors do not know or appreciate the iron-mitochondria relationship.The former is needed for the latter to function normally.,not to mention oxygen carrying capacity.Mitochondria are the engines of the body.!

Even though I am long retired I continue to harp on this because iron deficiency before even anemia can cause problems as alluded to in Dr. Nielsen’s comment.
