In this podcast, Dr. Berg talks about the reason why you should not be taking IRON if you get sick. Iron is needed for the body for many different reasons including to feed good and bad bacteria. Pathogens need iron to thrive and grow. When your body starts getting sick and your inflammation goes up, the body starts storing ferritin (a protein-bound iron resource) that basically hides the iron from the pathogens(bad bacteria and bad microbes) so they can’t get it.

0:45.3	for many different reasons.
0:48.6	One reason would be to feed good and bad bacteria.
0:59.0	Pathogens need iron to thrive and grow, so they can't exist without iron. There are exceptions. Some microbes can consume manganese instead of iron, like the
