Books - Available The Iron Elephant  What You Should Know about the Dangers OF Excess Body Iron.          By Roberta Crawford                                                        $14.95 + $2  S&H  "A silent killer is stalking you, somebody you know, or somebody you love.  Its name is hemochromatosis. The accounts given here each and all medical horror stories.  This book may do much to remedy this stealthy killer"                              Virgil F. Fairbanks  MD         Department of Laboratory Pathology    Mayo Clinic   "FINALLY with The Iron Elephant we have the up-close-and-personal story of one of modern medicine's biggest oversights:  the failure to diagnose iron overload, a potentially fatal and debilitating disorder.  ROBERTA CRAWFORD is uniquely qualified to spin this heart wrenching true-life tale of men, women and rust: she is the spokesperson for the thousands of sufferers who know and  the millions who do not."                              Randall B. Lauffer  PhD        Author,  Iron Balance          Harvard Medical School   "Among the few persons who are both knowledgeable about the dangers of iron overload and who have been alerting the public to the dangers is ROBERTA CRAWFORD.  Through Iron Overload Diseases Association, Inc.. she has informed thousands of patients and many physicians about this very perilous yet very preventable and readily diagnosed condition.  The Iron Elephant will alert hundreds of thousands...in the United States alone, we have at least 32 million who carry the hemochromatosis gene!  We urge readers of The Iron Elephant to communicate its critical message to members of their families, to their friends, and equally important, to their physicians.  Our hope is that by year 2000....the terrible ravages of iron overload will no longer comprise one of the great plagues of humankind."                           Eugene D. Weinberg  PhD   Professor & Head of Microbiology       Indiana University   "The Iron Elephant...should be read not only by the public, but also by the doctors and medical students.  Incorrect views on iron are institutionalized not only in the medical profession, but also in industry and in government.  The Iron Elephant being read by lawyers, lawmakers, and consumer advocates may also be needed to accomplish real change for the better.  This book will save lives."                           Jerome L. Sullivan  MD PhD       Assoc.

Brian West  MD                                        Professor of Medicine                                        Yale University   "Roberta Crawford has written a unique medical mystery thriller in which the victim could turn out to be the person reading the book.  The book is a good read that educates many patients and their doctors about the treatable and inherited disease of iron overload.  The good news is that the disease can be successfully treated.  But treatment depends on diagnosis; and diagnosis depends on awareness.  By promoting awareness this unique work of fiction will save some very real lives!"                                              Jerome L.
