Is it true that our bodies can absorb "iron" from bed frames if we are deplete in calcium,giving us arthritis?

Answer 1

No. That is a myth, probably generated when people with arthritis would stay in bed because it hurt to move the affected joints. Because they were not physically active the joints got even stiffer due to the lack of movement. So rather than blame the fact they were inactive they blamed the bedframe.

The only way you would get iron from the bedframe would be to cut it up and boil it in tomato soup and drink the mixture. Even then, most bedframes are now made from aluminum and or steel, so it wouldn't work anyway. Same goes for the springs in the mattress.

Gave me a good chuckle though.

Answer 2

Hi there, my opinion is nope as my mum who has rheumatoid arthritis,asked the doc years ago. The doc said'That very few of us ,(men /women) that can obtain Iron. The doc could not give any other answer than that (like they do).But we can find it in Meat, (yes, i know it's cruel too! veggies rule) Plus you can buy vitamin tabs , health drinks,etc. with added iron (sometimes it tastes very strong )..Good luck Ihope this helps.. if you are still interested from the chemist (a few bob cheaper) you can buy herbal remedies such as 'Wild Yam & AppleCider Vinegar' they help the symptoms of arthiritis.

Answer 3

Presumeably you're mendacity on a mattress of standard thickness? and despite in case you weren't you does not take in the metallic from the physique nor the coils. attempt examining approximately diets for arthritics, and taking l,250mg of calcium. It extremely could help, you may see a distinction after 2 months of the nutrition plan.

Answer 4

Impossible!!!
Iron can not be absorbed thru the skin
It is only absorped in the stomach not even the small or long intestines
