Suggest Diet For An Elderly Person Suffering From Anemia
hi, my father is anemic, he is 84 and went to Dr. for a bad cold he can not beat. they gave him two shots, one this past Monday and one today, and Dr. informed him he was anemic. I would think he would have done blood work and gave him maybe a diet high in iron? What are your thoughts please. Kathy
