Iron deficiency anemia (IDA) is the most common anemia worldwide...It's also the most common nutritional deficiency in the world. It's caused by decreased iron intake (e.g. malnutrition) or excessive iron loss (e.g. heavy menstrual bleeding).

That does it. These lectures are great, baby. I'm going to take the plunge & subscribe. I've been a physician for 30+ years & I've found that one of the best ways to keep your mind sharp is to keep going back to basic topics & have them presented in an unfamiliar yet entertaining way. This fellow does it all. Thank you "MP" for getting me to exercise my memory.

'm a male, now 60, diagosed 8 or 9 years ago by anti-bodies present and confirmed by lip biopsy. My reumatologist impressed by very slow progression of this disease with NO MEDS AT ALL! Her direct quote: "Whatever you are doing, keep it up. The disease is not advancing" First, I always cooked my own meals and I'm a very good cook. I always have a pot of chicken stock on the go because I use in a lot of recipes. Lots of vegetable fiber, the more bitter the better aka belgian endive. Lots of mushrooms like plain button mushrooms or berlinis or dried shitake from my Asian food supplier. I make a home-made sauerkraut and kimchi-kraut for the fermented food value. Heal your gut microbiome with all the fermented foods you can make or aquire. The biggest contributor to my new chapter in the battle is the added weponry of eliminating SUGAR. I've always had a sweet tooth and I suspect sugar as the initial cause of this auto-immune disease. I always did my own baking and make the best home-made bagels but, lately I'm low carbohydrate so anything wheat flour is out or much reduced. Lotgs of olive oil [REAL OLIVE OIL], lemon water for hydration. No seed olils or deep-fried food, no fast food whatsoever. I prepare and cook everything myself. REAL food! Red beets, pomegranites. Cutting out suger and increasing fermented foods and Omega-3 fish oils. Eat lots of oily fish. Want to know a real superfood for Sjogrens? Canned sardines in spring water! Cheap and delicious! A buck and s half per tin. SUPERFOOD and will lubricate your eyeballs too. Fish oils help the tear glands and lots of hot showers to melt the goop in the ducts to your eyes. Get OFF the meds and follow the regimen. Watch Dr Gundry videos to get the general gist of the program. Olive oil, fermented foods, Omega 3 fish oils [sardines in spring water] lots of eggs, NO SUGAR, low carbohydrate, lots of vegetable fiber, peel your potatoes, peppers, eggplant and tomatoes. Any nightshade food peel them. You will put Sjogrens in remission or at least get some semblance of a normal life back! What? Hydoxychloriquine? Might as well as drink bleach! [sic]

So you can have sicca syndrome and not Sjogrens? Thnx❤

[mamashiraz]

Why no mention of:
Anti Salivary Protein;
Anti Parotid
Anti Carbonic Anhydrase testing?? It’s the Early Sjogrens Panel? These autoimmune bio markers diagnose SS even before Ro and La show up. For a % of people with SS, Ro and La never show and they go undiagnosed for years. I can’t emphasize enough about the other SS antibodies

Thank you for video....is there any teeth pain symptoms in sjogrens or sicca? Thank you in advance

[the_true_medicine]

Nice
Sir, I have an opinion, after each video put the sources that u depend in this video.
Because what I know SS can affect major rather than minor glands, and RA per se can end up with SS !!!
