Iron is one of the most frequently purchased over-the-counter supplements, second only to vitamin C and calcium. The danger is that, once absorbed, iron can only be excreted in minute amounts of less than one milligram a day (or by heavy blood loss), and excess iron collects in a person's vital organs, thus, setting the disease process under way. As organs literally rust away, patients can experience early death by heart attack, arthritis, liver, pancreatic and colon cancer, increased infections, cirrhosis, diabetes, neurological problems, loss of hearing, tinnitus, depression, impotence, and infertility. Scientists have now discovered a connection to iron impropriety and Alzheimer's, early onset Parkinson's, Huntington's, attention deficit disorder, and epilepsy. EXPOSING THE HIDDEN DANGERS OF IRON is an excellent introduction for medical professionals to the intricacies of iron in the various body systems. Containing a practical guide to diagnosis, it also includes such subjects as the treatment and management of iron-loading conditions, excellent reference charts, a large glossary of terms, additional resources, contact and treatment centers, and a complete bibliography. Cutting edge scientific findings are summarized, complete with endnotes and references, about the devastation of excess iron on the liver, pancreas, gallbladder, spleen, adrenals, kidneys, bone marrow, arteries, heart, pituitary, joints, lungs, hearing, skin, vision, and the brain.
1883. From the Preface: The author offers the following book as a continuation, in a more generally accessible form, of the Series of Memoirs of Industrial Men introduced in his Lives of the Engineers. While preparing that work he frequently came across the tracks of celebrated inventors, mechanics, and ironworkers, the founders, in a great measure, of the modern industry of Britain, whose labors seemed to him well worthy of being traced out and placed on record, and the more so as their lives presented many points of curious and original interest. Contents: Iron and Civilization; Beginnings of the Iron Manufacture in Britain; Iron-Smelting by Pit-Coal-Dud Dudley; Andrew Yarranton; Coalbrookdale Iron-Works-The Darbys and Reynoldses; Invention of Cast-Steel-Benjamin Huntsman; The Inventions of Henry Cort; Henry Maudslay; Joseph Clement; Fox of Derby-Murray of Leeds-Roberts and Whitworth of Manchester; James Nasmyth; and William Fairbairn.
