HEMOCHROMATOSIS AWARENESS - FOUR

SOUNDING THE ALARM AND PROMOTING AWARENESS OF HEMOCHROMATOSIS.
As described in the best seller, " THE BRONZE KILLER" by Marie Warder .
JUNE 1980. The first ever mention of the disease on television. Interview with Ida Clarkson of Chek TV, Victoria, British Columbia, Canada.
Much has been added to what was known in 1980. The gene has been mapped, and it has been proved that carriers can also be affected, especially with the joint disease suffered by individuals with the full-blown disease.

My 41 years old son has been diagnosed hemochromatosis. At first he was diagnosted alcoholic Cirrosis. It's very sad that doctors are not informed about this illness. I'd like to be in contact to know any new medical advances about this sickness. We live in Santa Cruz de la Sierra, Bolivia, South America.
