Dore,

If we had the numbers for the total times she's been transfused and how much blood per transfusion, it would help. If she hasn't had a lot of transfusions, 1200 might be an accurate score, and this can be reduced without chemical chelating drugs. Drinking tea and taking IP6 can also help to lower the iron load. However, if she has had a lot of transfusions over the years, it would be wise for her to have a liver scan to determine if there is any iron load in the organs. At her age and with a ferritin of only 1200 it may be safe to assume she does not have any serious iron absorption problem from her diet.

All we are saying is give thals a chance.

Its work noting that you should try to take the 'R' form of alpha lipoic acid if you cant, its more expensive than the normal version, but its the correct isomer for the body to use. If it doesnt say R form, its not.

I need to research any iron reducing ability, though i found this link
