Hafiz,

I would suggest at least a 6 month trial of hydroxyurea, but only under a doctor's supervision. If your child does start, please add wheatgrass tablets also, as this has been shown to improve the results of hydroxyurea. Dr Vijay Ramanan of Pune, India has had good success with this combination. Some of his patients no longer require transfusion after this therapy.
