Does anyone know if stinging nettle leaf, not the root, is starchy? It is supposed to help purify the blood helping with anemia. I need to get my iron levels up and oral iron is not cutting it. I constantly go back and forth with my hemoglobin being a little bit low and being low normal. My doctor advised large amounts of iron which I am hesitant to do given past extremely elevated readings. Also, I don't think that is the true issue.
Thanks.
I had a lot of problems with anemia over the years as well. Nothing I tried helped including Stinging nettle leaf. I did the liquid drops. Tincture I believe it is called. No help.
For me the anemia went away when I went on the TNF drug. SImponi immediately returned my red blood cell levels to normal. Doc thinks it is a sign of underlying inflammation, the anemia that is.
