Short Bio

My Father died of Fibrosing Alveolitis. A few months before he died I discovered there was a HHI gene in our family of *Haemochromatosis ( Too much iron in the body ). I think there is a genetic link with that. Also the possibility of oxygen starvation in the blood at times? If this goes into the family via genes; could this not cause oxygen starvation in the blood resulting in a minor bruise on the brain?  If so, could this not result in a mild form of Epilepsy??  I am an OAP with a medical interest and lots of experience. Trying to put the factual ‘wooden jigsaw’ together to help others. If this is of any interest/help please pass it on.. ( Father was an RAF pilot, so seen many medics! )
