September – Supreme Court Justice Hospitalized After Medical “Iron Therapy”

U.S. Supreme Court Justice Ginsburg (76) was hospitalized an hour after receiving intravenous iron to correct an iron deficiency. There’s two reasons for her becoming so sick: First the RDA (a pretty good guide for minerals) for a woman her age is only 8mg over the course of a day. Iron “therapy” releases 200mg of iron into the bloodstream over 15 minutes, and the therapy occurs 5 times over 5 weeks. Iron therapy is a knowingly large (25x) overdose of iron. Second, iron is a catalyst for free radicals. Justice Ginsburg was overcome by a surge of free radicals. A surge of free radicals causes a surge in deterioration of the body because free radicals cause deterioration. This is an example of willful ignorance by the medical profession on a Supreme Court Justice proving no one is safe.
