To me, the article says some people need to be bled.

Yes, that's exactly right. Some people do need to be bled. That's the treatment for hemochromatosis.

Hemochromatosis affects 1/250 White people and increases to 1/80 in people of Celtic stock. If you're in those categories you should take the genetic test to see if you're affected. Even if insurance doesn't cover it the test is pretty cheap.
