Here si some more infofor him

"If you are diagnosed with high iron levels, you are prescribed certain medications by your physician that bind to the iron and help it flow through your urine. You may also have to get your blood drawn twice a month until the levels decrease. Sometimes a blood transfusion is the only treatment left. You must also decrease the amount of iron rich foods, and avoid multivitamins that have iron. You must avoid vitamin C as it increases the amount of iron that the body absorbs. You must also limit alcohol intake as excess alcohol increases the risk for liver disease and can make liver disease worse."

Also, a high level of lead in the body can do this too and many things contain this and we dont even know it. Giving blood 2 times a month would be a good option without having to take any meds. Like the others said, stay away fronm dietary things that contain, or increase, iron in the body.
