The Bronze Killer: The Story of a Family's Fight Against a Very Common Enemy - Hemochromatosis: Autographed Collectors' Item

by Marie Warder

Dromedaris Books | July 15, 1989 | Trade Paperback

Hemochromatosis - not too many people know the definition of the word or realize just how deadly a disease it can be. Marie Warder found out first hand when her husband became sick. For six years, she watched as his eyesight deteriorated, his personality changed and he grew sicker. Finally, a doctor diagnosed the problem: an overload of iron in his body. Luckily, it was caught in time and he was bled a gallon of blood per month to save his life. In The Bronze Killer, Warder provides much needed information about this common enemy, from recognizing its symptoms to stressing the importance of early detection and treatment. Recommended by physicians in many hospitals and clinics around the world, this book also includes a layman's reference on the disease, Iron…The Other Side of the Story!

    RE: THE BRONZE KILLER

    Steve Taylor

    4 years ago

    I read it because I thought it was a mystery. I was sick and seeking distraction from health problems. What an incredible experience it was to find - instead of a mystery - the answer to all that ailed me!

    Now even my doctor has a copy (a gift from me). His eyes were opened (WIDE!) and, needless to say, he has diagnosed numerous HH patients since the days he thought he was dealing with a hypochrondriac!

    THE BRONZE KILLER - THE FIRST AND STILL THE BEST!

    Melinda Terblanche

    I cannot recommend this book too highly - especially to the newly diagnosed! - I have even been able to educate my doctor!

    The rest of my family - even the distantly related - have now been checked - but it took "The Bronze Killer" to convince them to do this, especially as they were made to recall clear indications, and reflect on others who must have suffered unnecessarily from the complications of undiagnosed HH in the past.

    I thank the author for this invaluable book of reference!

    A life-saver!

    Since this book was first published in 1989, thousands of families around the world have found The Bronze Killer to be a valuable resource. More than just the personal account of a family who have suffered through the ravages of this terrible disease, it has been a source of information, encouragement and enlightenment to many.

    Included is Iron - The Other Side of the Story, which was the first "layperson's" reference to the genetic disorder that, if untreated, can lead to a destructive overload of iron in the body, far too often with fatal results. Recommended by physicians and clinics in Canada and further afield, The Bronze Killer earned high praise for the author in her 1991 citation for the Canada Volunteer Medal of Honour and Certificate of Honour.

    Everyone should read it!
