[QUOTE="Nelson Vergel, post: 42987, member: 3"] I have never said that someone with hematocrit over 53 should not get a phlebotomy. In fact, I have become the main activist on the internet on the subject. What I am saying is that taking iron supplements for a long time can also be counterproductive for hematocrit stabilization since it is fueling its increase. The only case scenario where I think it is justified to take iron and donate every month to 6 weeks is when someone has made the mistake to allow hematocrit to go way above 53. Even in those patients, once hematocrit is brought down under 50, I would not take iron for more than a month to help regenerate iron stores. Most men I have met have not given blood more than 4-5 times in their TRT life. The body adapts by first changing red blood cell shape and volume: "increased erythrocyte deformability" [/QUOTE]
