Too much iron?

Next time you go for a check-up or if you are feeling tired all the time, ask your doc. to control the iron ( simple blood test). The most common genetic disorder around (identified in 1996) iron overload, is extremely common in northern Europeans and people of Irish and Welsh descent, but many doctors don't know much about it., and as the treatment doesn't involve a lot of money, the pharmaceutical companies tend to keep quiet!!
I found out by chance(thanks to the Internet) and have managed to put cousins in the UK on guard so I thought I'd pass on info through this great forum
No cure, but all you have to do is give blood and keep a check on blood levels.
