Anemia in Young People Often Hidden By Illness
Dr William Brady notes that anemia in those under thirty is usually due to underlying illness such as bleeding or poisoning. Treating only iron is futile without addressing diet and root causes. Internal hemorrhoids can bleed silently, causing secondary anemia and going undetected until complications arise. Occult ulcers also contribute.

The piece notes persistent secondary anemia in the south due to hookworm, salts, purgatives, and poor living conditions. It cites castor oil, limited sun exposure, carbon monoxide, and gas leaks as contributing factors, with many housewives remaining anemic into summer.
Remedy for anemia lies in addressing cause not medicines
