Diane-
initially I was explained why I need to avoid those "elements" and I think that it has something to do with not feeding cancer cells if there are any left but over time the information evaporated my brain...lol... and now I don't remember the reasoning behind it. I recall seeing info on the web as well but it is not easily found.

With iron, I was told told that it can be used short term if you are extremely anemic. I had to do this since I was anemic and have bounced back although my levels continue to be low. If I come across any info, I will forward it.
