Look for vitamin E that says d-alpha tocopherol, not dl-alpha.
The spleen and liver enlarge because there is a high turnover of red blood cells, RBC's. The defective RBC's produced because of the defective beta globin genes are filtered out by these organs, causing them to enlarge. RBC's are even manufactured in these organs, causing further enlargement.
The best thing you can do is provide the proper nutrients to help build RBC's, but even with this, defective RBC's will still be produced.

Thank You Andy,

Is there any way to flush out the defective RBC's from spleen and liver ?
This will be a problem if spleen and liver size further increases.

I have been told that juice from muskmelon can help decrease spleen size. Providing the nutrients to build RBC's also helps.

Dear Andy,

The latest CBC and other test ruled out B Thal trait. As per the Hematologist my son is not the carrier of B Thal
He is having Hereditary Ovalocytosis.

Blood Film for Morphology : Hereditary Ovalocytosis

Hemoglobin Electrophor
HbA   = 95.8%
HbA2 = 3.4%
HbF   = <0.8%

Comment :- Normal Hemoglobin electrophoretic pattern.

G.6.P.D  Quantitative Estimatn  39 U/g Hb    Normal Range 6.6-17.2 U/g Hb

WBC 14.3
RBC  3.45
HGB  8.7
MCV 78.6
MCH 25.3
Platelets 213

Ferritin          43.72  Normal Range 30-400 ng/ml
Folic Acid      10.6    Normal Range  7.20-15.40 ng/ml
Vitamin B12   353    Normal Range 240-900 pg/ml

Recticulocyte Count  5.39  Normal Range 0.5-2.5

Dr comments :
No Treatment required for enlarged Spleen as it does not poses any danger for the time being and not to think of removing until if it poses any danger to child health. as present spleen working normally except low HGB and Spleen needed for child well being..
Blood transfusion requires if HGB drops below 8.0.

Folic acid supplements prescribed for 40 days.

Thank your Andy.

I'm not surprised it isn't thal minor, as the test results did not support that very well.

Juice of muskmelon may still help to keep the spleen size down.

Th Andy.
I just received the red root extract known as new jersey tea..
But my hematologist not allowing me for my son he is simply saying don't use. I'm don't know why they don't accept any herbal supplements.
Do you think I can give to my 5 yr son without any unwanted side effects.. as I only concern about his spleen size.

Red root is known to be safe. I would suggest that if you try it, start with a very low dose, no more than 1/4 of what an adult would take.
