Discussion giving yourself iron deficiency on purpose to make SN more effective?

[neonlol]

Does anyone know if this would work / is it a good idea?

avoiding iron, taking calcium supplements and drinking green tea for a while, trying to give yourself anemia from iron deficiency before you drink SN so your hemoglobin count is lower and you would pass out (and ctb) from the SN quicker and give yourself a better chance at succeeding
A faster option could be to donate blood before taking SN?

Doing these could give you other symptoms though. Personally I'd be afraid of fainting and falling down stairs or something. It's best not to overcomplicate things imo.

It sound dangerous to me, throwing your heealth off track before you do this. If a doctor or nurse weighed in that would be better, though, but Sn works

Definitely- when people get "too cute" with methods they mess them up- no offense, but Stan's Guide is pretty solid.

The SN process as it currently stands is already effective enough. The two pathways are either a stat dose which takes 8 hours or fasting over two days.

Intentionally avoiding iron would take a long time.
