My husband has hemochromatosis, a hereditary condition. His body produces too many red blood cells, and it was starting to impact his organs, including his brain. If untreated, it can be fatal. Fortunately, the treatment is very simple. For a couple of years, he would just go regularly (every two weeks or so) to have blood withdrawn. No meds, just blood withdrawn. Now, his red count is normal, and he's made a remarkable comeback.
