when I'm looking at ferritin I have a number of clients who are carnivores in Quito now and I've seen a lot of ferret ins I've checked mine multiple times it was 87 and I thought to joe mercola he was very concerned he said what's your GGT and when GTT is 13 so i always correlate a ferritin with a GGT i don't want to see oxidative stress and so what I use when people have an ferritin above a hundred I'll use other inflammatory and oxidative stress markers to kind of triangulate and say do I really think this is causing oxidative stress in people certainly there are people with polymorphisms like hemochromatosis who will over accumulate ferritin two very dangerous levels and those people will need to get phlebotomy no matter what they whether they're eating lots of red meat or not but for the general public I'm not really concerned about over accumulating iron either the body is pretty good at doing this if I saw someone in they had an elevated ferrets and I would want to know why and I would want to triangulate with other markers of oxidative stress like you're suggesting kind of try and answer the question is there oxidative stress I would want to do the markers that I kind of suggested earlier after to ice a prostate eight hydroxy to deoxy guanosine get a sense of where that's going
