   Iron is an element that is vital for life. In fact, every form of life on this planet uses it to some degree to make sense out of the random chaos of the chemistry of atoms that life orders together to make the beautiful musical composition that is life. For humans, metabolism requires Iron. Iron carries oxygen to tissues in our cells but it can paradoxically make the ocean water crystal blue clear and devoid of life. When Iron is present in abundance the water is green and filled with life. Without iron our immunity crashes, we become dazed and confused, cold, and very lethargic. Our metaboli…

   When electrons are being stolen at higher rates, a new type of ROS is formed. When we lose 3 or more elctrons from our mitochondria, we make the hydroxyl free radical. This is called a Fenton reaction. Why is this a problem for us? We have no enzyme that can contain this reaction. The hydroxyl free radical irreversibly damages membranes, organelles, mitochondria, and DNA in a cell. This means we have to constantly recycle these cellular parts to maintain our cells’ integrity or limit its entropy. This means we have to use more energy to remain metastable. This also steals electrons from the br…

   Menopause is a time when a woman needs more sun light, not less sunlight as her physicians often tell her. At menopause a women is losing energy from the “wave part” of sunlight and she is using iron and UV light to use the particle aspect of light to harvest more magnetic energy from the sun’s rays naturally to gain much more energy back than she lost in the process of menopause. So how does the body attempt to remedy this process? Iron is an essential trace element that is used to form molecules in the body, such as hemoglobin. Ferritin is the major storage protein for iron. Free iron is tox…

   During stress, free fatty acids are released from the tissues, and circulating in the bloodstream they are highly susceptible to oxidation. They contribute to the formation of the age pigment, lipofuscin, which is an oxygen-wasting substance that's found in the atheroma plaques in the damaged blood vessels. Iron and calcium accumulation adds to the tissue damage. The hemolysis which is promoted by polyunsaturated fats and an imbalance of antioxidants and oxidants, releases iron and heme into the blood stream. The incidence of atherosclerosis is increased when the body iron stores are high (Kie…

   Free radicals and reactive oxygen species (ROS) in particular play an important part in aging because they direct repair and regeneration and taking antioxidants ruins this endogenous signal. Free radicals are (usually small) molecules lacking an electron needed for stability; they will steal an electron from the first thing they bump into. Like pulling a cog out from clockwork, stealing an electron from a protein or enzyme is usually not good for the finely-tuned biochemical machinery of our cells. The free radical might be rendered safe in the process, but it has left some form of chaos and …

   It's got 12 electrons. So, when you put it inside that cage, it means light can't affect its oxidation state. So, what did that do? They took CO2, created more oxygen, and that's how you got the whole food uh pyramid. That's where every single food web ties back to that process. 50 year 50 million years later, right at the beginning of the Cambrian explosion, evolution kicks out the idea of heme proteins. Where does it get this idea? From the story I just told you. Oxygen now is going from 0% up to like 10 or 15% and oxygen's toxic, so they take bacteria and and archaea, put them together. And…

   Iron plays an important role in normal brain metabolism. It is a co-factor to enzymes involved in neurotransmitter synthesis and metabolism, and a component of cytochromes essential for energy production in mitochondria. However, iron reacts with oxygen, resulting in the production of neurotoxic free hydroxyl radicals responsible for membrane lipid peroxidation and accumulation of lipofuscin in neurons.

   When macrophages lack iron in them they become ‘mafia like killers’ of those with Yersina Pestis bacteria. This one move protects the adult male from the ravages of bubonic plague and allows them to live another day. There is a trade off Mother Nature makes for this maneuver. With time, iron builds up in the viscera and causes organ failure, dysfunction and disease and possibly death but it happens slowly over a life span. This allows the human male to survive to reproductive fitness and provide progeny for the next generation. It is a highly protective **epigenetic advantage** that protects t…

   What did that all just mean? Did I just describe what a cytochrome 1 really does in your mitochondria for you? Yes I did. Iron needs to be coupled to its sulfur couple bound to the cytochrome proteins to work with electrons from foods. Iron also needs to be bound in the cells that circulate in our blood and marrow. If iron is not bound in this way, humans have many blood binding proteins that “sop up the remainder” to not allow any free iron into tissues. If you do have free iron in tissues, we get dielectric collapse in the cell water (reducing the EZ) in those tissues and lose the electric a…

    Today modern man looks at hemochromatosis as a disease…when in reality it might be the result of epigenetic iron protection strategy that evolution used to keep adult males alive to allow for modern humans to survive in Europe for the last 500 years. Today scientists realize that our ‘junk DNA’ seems to have the epigenetic information of the last 1000 years of our biology built into to it so that we can use it to defend against pathogens and events we have recently faced so that we can survive what ever life throws at us. It is our evolutionary bank account we save for a rainy day.
