Una67 said:What could be causing low hemoglobin levels, and how can I fix it?
My daughter is currently battling cancer.
Think of hemoglobin as the iron carrier within red blood cells that grabs oxygen from the lungs; without it, your cells can't effectively burn fuel to function. To boost levels naturally, look toward foods high in iron—think liver, artichokes, or beets. You can find plenty of other options if you do a quick search online. As for why it's dropping, it could stem from internal bleeding or might simply be a side effect of chemotherapy. While oral iron supplements are an option, they can be pretty harsh on the stomach.
I’d suggest incorporating some potent antioxidants. They help neutralize those nasty free radicals—which also tend to scavenge iron—so the body can flush them out naturally. In my experience, things like Noni, pineapple, broccoli, beets, or native propolis (

Hang in there!
