I Need Help Desperately from the Experts Here

Hi: I have been a vegetarian for at least 8 years now - since then I have had constant issues with extremely low hemoglobin and extremely low iron levels to the point where I cannot stand and walk from one room to the next.

When these episodes occur I get my blood tested and sure enough these levels are dangerously low. Well, I have had another episode as of at least four days ago with the worst day being today. I also have high blood pressure which I reluctantly take pills for. Well, I took my blood pressure readings and my BP was OK but the pulse rate was in the 40's - no wonder I could not stand or walk.

My question is this - I just had a long conversation with a doctor at the Life Extension Group which is the organization I get my blood tested through - I am a member there - they are all about alternative medicine.

Well, the doctor suggested that I start eating red meat once again to raise my iron levels. I have used iron supplements in the past from Walgreens which is what the doctor at the Mayo Clinic told me to do but they are so constipating it is unbearable.

I don't understand how there are millions of vegetarians around the world, including celebrities who just look fine, but I have all these problems. The thought of eating animal flesh again makes me sick but what can I do?

Please, any experts out there, give me your advice.

P.S. I do occasionally eat eggs, tuna and cheese but that's it!! What cann I do - the doctors have said that such low pulse rates are very dangerous and I know that myself - I don't need them to tell me but I am at my wits end.

I take my supplements every day - drink ozonated water - am doing a parasite cleanse and zapping. I try to do everything I can to live clean but this issue has taken my life away from me for years. I did have chronic fatigue for years prior to becoming a vegetarian and of course Depression is also part of this picture. One thing brings the other.

I even give myself b12 shots and take bioidentical hormones -
