equal parts of black strap molasses and organic apple cidar vinegar - take a tablespoon a day

Vitamin and Minerals with Iron Syrup

This formula will make a syrup with easily digestible vitamins and minerals. It is high in iron, calcium, vitamin A and many other trace minerals. 2 parts nettles leaf

3 parts dandelion leaf

3 parts dandelion root

3 parts raspberry leaf

2 parts watercress

2 parts alfalfa leaf

1 part hawthorn berries

1 part yellowdock root

1 part dulse

1/4 part horsetail

Instructions:

Place 2 ounces of herb mixture in 1 quart of water and on low heat boil down to a pint. Strain and add 1-2 cups of sweetener. Warm and mix thoroughly. Add 1/4 cup 1/4 cup any fruit concentrate (I like Black Cherry Concentrate). It adds lots of flavor and is used to dissolve crystals in the body such as kidney and gall stones. It also dissolves crystals in the joints that make them stiff and cause arthritis. Do not add juice, it will dilute the syrup and cause it to spoil. Suggested Dosage: 4-6 Tablespoons

Any suggestions for natural ways to raise iron levels?

Beet juice!!! A great way to raise iron levels. Always mix it with carrot though and start out slowly. Too much beet juice too soon can make you nauseous or dizzy.
