ALIMENTOS ALCALINOS PARA DISMINUIR LA ABSORCIÓN DE HIERRO INORGÁNICO

Desde hace un tiempo se ha observado que los medicamentos llamados inhibidores de la bomba de protones (Proton Pump Inhibitors PPI) o sea los que frenan la producción de ácido clorhídrico en el estómago, provocan una disminución del hierro inorgánico, o sea el hierro no ligado en grupo hemo (no proviniente de derivados carnícos).

Estos medicamentos, los PPI son ampliamente utilizados por quienes sufren de reflujo ácido después de las comidas. Al inhibir la producción de ácido clorhídrico modifican el grado de acidez del contenido del estómago.

El hierro en estado inorgánico aparentemente requiere medio ácido para ser absorbido.

Todo esto llevaría a que los alimentos que "bajan" la acidez, ayudarían a disminuir el hierro inorgánico absorbido.

Entre estos alimentos se encuentra la leche. También las verduras de hoja crudas, la banana, la manzana, el té de manzanilla y el vinagre de manzana.

Esto es muy interesante y me gustaría que alguno comente su experiencia.

Hemocromatosis y neuropatia - Neuropathy and Haemochromatosis

Idiopathic polyneuropathy was diagnosed in a relative large number of patients with Hereditary Haemochromatosis (26%), but the causal relationship needs to be confirmed in larger (case-control) series. (2010) J. of Neurology International BioIron Society - 8va conferencia  EMBL Heidelberg, Germany 5 - 10 May 2019. Un estudio de 1972 relaciona enfermedad hepática con neuropatia:      Neuropathy was f ound   most   frequently   in   alcoh olic   cirrhosis   and haemochromatosis   but   the   numbe rs   in some   of   the aetiological   groups   were   relat ively   small.   None   of   the   patients   with   haem ochromatosis had had   a   history   of   significant   a lcohol   intake.

25-dihidroxy-vitamina D disminuida en la hemocromatosis

Low serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D in hereditary hemochromatosis: relation to iron status. Chow LH , Frei JV , Hodsman AB , Valberg LS . Abstract Under normal conditions, vitamin D absorbed from the diet or synthesized in the skin is transported to the liver where it undergoes hydroxylation . The purpose of this study was to determine whether excess hepatic iron affects this process and the subsequent production of 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D (1,25-[OH]2D) in the kidney. Mean serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25-OHD) concentrations in untreated hereditary hemochromatosis were 13 +/- 6 (SD) in 9 patients with cirrhosis, 13 +/- 6 in 5 patients with hepatic fibrosis, and 22 +/- 6 in 10 patients with normal hepatic architecture aside from siderosis and were significantly lower than the levels found in 24 controls matched for age, sex, and season, p less than 0.05. The mean serum 25-OHD levels in the two groups with hemochromatosis and hepatic damage were significantly lower than the...

Remielinización y Vitamina D

We observed that cholecalciferol is more efficient than ergocalciferol and, when delivered at a high dose (500 IU/kg/day), cholecalciferol induces a significant locomotor and electrophysiological recovery. We also demonstrated that cholecalciferol increases i) the number of preserved or newly formed axons in the proximal end, ii) the mean axon diameter in the distal end, and iii) neurite myelination in both distal and proximal ends. Finally, we found a modified expression of several genes involved in axogenesis and myelination, after 24 hours of vitamin supplementation. Our study is the first to demonstrate that vitamin D acts on myelination via the activation of several myelin-associated genes. It paves the way for future randomised controlled clinical trials for peripheral nerve or spinal cord repair. La disminución de vitamina D circulante provocada por el hígado atacado por la hemocromatosis, podría ser la causa de la neuropatía. Probaremos si esto mejora administran...
