This Iron Fish Is Saving Millions Of Lives Around The World

This day and age, researchers are working around the clock to make advancements in the medical field. Thanks to these innovative men and women, it seems like there’s a new breakthrough for all types of diseases every day.

One doctor discovered that people in Cambodia were sick and experiencing crippling headaches due to a lack of iron in their diets. He knew there had to be something he could do, so he put his thoughts into action and came up with a surprising new invention…

When Canadian doctor Christopher Charles discovered that Cambodian adults and children were experiencing crippling headaches from a lack of iron in their diets, he knew that he had to act. Before long, he had invented the Lucky Iron Fish.
