Two years ago a very dear friend of mine had a terrible hemmoriage after
delivery.  She too in addition to her iron supplement used blackstrap
molasses in a glass of milk a couple times per day.  Because of this her
hemoglobin increase very quickly.  She did it for a couple of weeks 2-3
times per day and after that about once per day.  Then jsut occassionally.
She didn''t enjoy it much, but did do it for the health of it!

----- Original Message -----   The other CE told the mom that blackstrap
molasses contains a colloidal form of iron that is more readily absorbed by
pregnant women.  Along with increasing her iron supplement per MD order this
mom began using blackstrap molasses at breakfast every day on either a
biscuit or oatmeal.
