Hi Wendy,
First, sorry for the late reply. This is because with the change to this forum format, I only occassionally visit the web based forum as compared to the delivery by email of our posts under the list-serv.
It has been a long time ( nearly 4 and a half years ) since I came across those reports and I did not keep a record of them, so I'm sorry I'm unable to cite the references at this time, but I remembered at least 2 reports.
I understand that alfalfa has widely been suggested to help as a supplement for general anemia. The concern I have is that the alfalfa must be free from pesticides which is applied during its growth.
The government glossary of environmental terms clearly shows where alfalfa is generally grown in the USA and what pesticide is applied on alfalfa, and you may like to check this out:

You can find out where alfalfa is grown and what chemicals are used.
If I come across those articles again, I'll post here.
Hope this helps somewhat.
Regards,
Peter Lim
