A member asked:
I have very low iron (i'm anemic). would drinking tons of water help that?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: This situation is extremely serious. Anemia warns of a serious underlying health problem that must be discovered. If it is not found, it may cost you your life. And the anemia along will make you sicker and sicker. Demand explanations and aggressive investigation by your Dr. Forget "pop" remedies like drinking water -- and in fact, avoid ALL subscientific websites while your life is in danger.
