In nutritional balancing science, it
is often possible to identify a personality that goes with certain mineral
imbalances. For example, there are
definite copper personality types, mercury types and cadmium types. Another is the personality associated
with iron toxicity. One might call
them affectionately iron heads.
Here is a brief description of what I have observed of this particular
personality. It may seem rather
negative, and it is. It is one of
the main causes of problems on planet earth, in fact. This is just one reason why nutritional balancing science
can be helpful for restoring a more balanced biochemistry, and indirectly, for
helping to temper this and other unbalanced personality types.
This is not meant to stereotype
anyone, and exceptions abound because iron is only one of many minerals that a
person may have too much of, or out of balance in some other way. However, it is helpful to know certain
qualities of people and how they may connect with the qualities of a mineral.
In this case, iron is a hard,
brittle, easily worked, stable, magnetic, and very common metal. It is found in common foods such as
meats and green vegetables. However,
many people get even more of it from their well or other water supply. Some pipes are iron and some cookware
is iron. Most white flour is
enriched with iron today, and some vitamin products such as Geritol
have much too much iron added to them.
Iron settles in an area of the brain called the amygdala,
an area associated with anger and rage, in particular.
THE HIGH IRON
PERSONALITY TYPE
Deceptive. They are often loyal family
types, which includes families like the Mafioso families. They are common in unions and among
professional groups that are licensed, bonded and insured to supposedly protect
the public, but often it is to protect the group from competition. Therefore the license is deceptive and
does not guarantee quality.
They are also often found in
politics, where they deceive the public by saying what people want to hear, and
then doing something totally opposite.
This is another example of deceptiveness.
They are much more common in the
Democrat party, as most are closet authoritarians and socialists, no matter
what they say.
Politicians, not
statesmen. They are shrewd, have good timing, know
how to turn a phrase and thrill a crowd, and are so attractive and emotionally
cool that unless one looks carefully, they will snow the audience with their
often excellent rhetorical talk.
Underneath, they tend to be
authoritarians and power-hungry.
They tend to favor government solutions, for example, because these are
always top-down and authoritarian ways of doing things. For this reason, they are quite
dangerous people to have in office.
They may speak of diversity.
However, the classic iron personality cannot tolerate real diversity,
which is what occurs in free markets, and with free enterprise capitalism.
In part they lack the flexibility
and intelligence to understand how it works, and in part they want to be in
complete control of the situation.
They can be very nervous around other powerful people.
They are often ideologically-driven
by a single concept or dogma, which is usually Marxism in some form or
other. They can be very brutal in
this area as well, believing that anyone who is not on their side is obviously
deranged and dangerous, when it is they who are dangerous and deranged.
Leaders. Iron is magnetic, and high-iron people are often
charismatic, charming and leaders or directors. In contrast, zinc and copper types are often more open to
taking direction and less comfortable as leaders and directors.
Unfortunately, the iron types do not
make good leaders as they are power-hungry and insecure. Iron gives a lot of strength and
stability, but not much intelligence and wisdom, sadly. The copper types are much more creative
and gentle. The zinc types are
more wise and compassionate and make the best leaders in all areas.
Sexual area. Many men and women are fooled by the calculating and perhaps
brutal iron-dominant type into thinking they are loved because they are being
pursued. Too many, sadly, enjoy
being chased as it gives them something to excited about, and can be quite
alluring. Iron types pursue the
opposite sex hard, and they are good at focusing in and love the conquest,
unfortunately. However, they are
not good lovers because underneath they are cold and calculating, in contrast
to the loving coppery women and the more spiritually advanced zinc-dominant men
and women. For example, the zinc
type of personality is much more laid back, which many ladies or even men
mistake for a lack of interest.
This is important for all young women, particularly, to remember. Any man who pursues to you too
vigorously may be a high-iron type and is definitely one to avoid. The more shy men are usually not iron
types and will often make much better partners in the long run.
Interestingly, coppery men and women
can usually control iron-dominant men and women in sexual and relationship
areas, often by helping to soften the iron-dominant individual.
Family. They are very oriented toward their
children because this is their way to carry on the dynasty, which is often how
they look at families. Of course,
they want to be the head of the family, which often causes strife if two iron
heads are married to each other. This
can end in divorce in some cases if they just cant seem to get along. Since power is a focus for them, they
do best with each partner having one sphere of influence.
What will not work is one dominating
the other. The underdog will get
out in this case, if she can, since it is usually the woman, though certainly
not always. She may turn bitter
and resentful and make life for her man miserable, in which he will find a
softer partner, in most cases.
Iron types can make good lovers and
family men and women as they are loyal to their mates, but may play around
sexually on the side, as they tend to be very sexual and can usually seduce
women by engaging them in the enjoyment of the chase and the conquest. Many men are seduced by iron-dominant
women in the same way, after a long chase. The women will pull out all the stops if needed, to win,
which throws most men for a loop.
Underneath, the women are quite cold and selfish, however.
Out of balance, iron-dominant women
and particularly men can be brutal in the sexual arena, however. This means they enjoy sex for its own
sake and are not too loving about it.
They are fine visiting prostitutes, for example, because it is just
sex. They are often the beautiful
people, both men and women, and enjoy prancing around and attracting mates and
lovers, even if it is just for show.
Since they are quite charismatic, they often know just what to say at
the right time to impress others, both sexually and in every other way. The iron men tend to fall for the
softer-appearing coppery women.
Brittle and
Brutal. Brutal, in particular, is appropriate
for many iron heads. They are
quite ruthless underneath, like the mobsters on television and in real
life. Power is the name of the
game, with money secondary. This
is important to remember when dealing with them. They may fight over money, but power and control is always
first priority. Copper types are
often happy with just a big farm in the country, but iron types like to stay in
control.
In costly divorces when the woman
seems to win because she gets the millions of dollars, the iron man often wins
in his mind because he gets rid of her and stays in control of his life. He figures, usually correctly, that he
can make the money back in a few years.
She thinks differently about her safety and security. He thinks not about security, but about
control of his life.
Brutal also describes many of our
politicians today who tend to be iron toxic. They are superficial, brutal and angry underneath, but very
good at hiding their true feelings or even how they will vote, for example. They are poker-faced, often, and
can talk a good line. They are
quite determined and power-hungry underneath their faade of caring for the
people.
Business. Iron-toxic individuals are often
organized, and bright enough to make good manufacturers and other types of
businessmen. Some are excellent
sales people who can close the deal by sheer persistence of will, not by
brilliance, though. Most iron
types are also very focused or one track, which is helpful in many business
jobs, sales and in the sexual arena as well.
