As I recall reading somewhere, the iron in those people's bodies was sequestered in the cells as a defensive measure by the body, in order to lower the serum iron levels as much as possible, even to the point of creating anemia. I don't remember if it was parasites or some other microbial infection, but low iron levels kept the infection under control.
Treat the infection(s) effectively and iron levels came back up on their own soon after as the iron was released from storage. Supplement iron in a misguided effort to treat their "deficiency," and the infections flared up and often killed them. At least that's what I remember.
