About Celtic Curse

This website is about hereditary hemochromatosis. It's what really killed Hemingway and nearly killed my wife.

Sometimes referred to as genetic haemochromatosis, it causes iron overload which damages joints, liver and other organs. It can seriously disable or even kill you if not diagnosed early.

Dubbed Celtic Curse because 1 in 5 Irish people carry the haemochromatosis gene, this is not a rare condition. For example, according to the Iron Disorders Institute it affects over one million Americans.

Fortunately, iron overload is relatively cheap and easy to treat and may do very little damage IF detected early enough.
