Suggest Remedy For Hemochromatosis

I am Diabetic II and have Hemochromatosis -I take warm fresh lemon water for breakfast and lemon on anything I can- it has cut my Accucheck (SUGAR READER-PIN-PRICK DEVICE) from 163 to 68 in 2 weeks !! So the lemons and meds are working. However, the Hemo may have brought on the Diabetes, Im told. SO- the lemons have helped reduce my blood sugar, but are they helping to keep or get rid of the Hemochromatosis?

Hi, dear
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. You have hemochromatosis and it leads to diabetes. Your lemon diet or drugs will not take care of hemochromatosis. For hemochromatosis you should take iron chelating agents like desferoxamine or defiperone. All this are prescription based medicine so consult your doctor and take treatment accordingly.
Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using health care magic. Wish you a very good health.
