Many adults with subtle disease only have fatigue or anaemia.

"Is the mutation which causes sickle-cell anaemia a "good mutation" or a "bad mutation"?

The most famous example of this is sickle cell anaemia, which offers resistance against malaria.

As someone who has suffered from pernicious anaemia, I heavily recommend against this diet.

I use the term loosely in reference to all types of anaemia arising from cobalamin deficiency, as the NIH and Mayo clinic do[0][1].

By their tonic action on blod and nerve they also cure anaemia, debility, liver trouble, dyspepsia, sciatica, consumption, rickets, ladies' ailments, etc.

The WHO's figures are that in 2002, in the US, about 7400 people died of "nutritional deficiencies", broken down into 4300 deaths from "protein-energy malnutrition" and 2500 deaths from "iron-deficiency anaemia".

The interesting thing about sickle cell anaemia is that you get it if both copies of the gene are abnormal, you get the disease, but if just one of them is abnormal you don't get the disease but still get the resistance to malaria.

The selective pressure is so high with malaria that sickle cell anaemia is a fairly common congenital disease that if one is homozygous for can be lethal in early age; conventional medicine has significantly increased life expectancy, but it's still fairly poor.
