--- Quote ---but with heart palps, it is very important that you are taking calcium and magnesium together, along with vitamin D. Calcium imbalance can contribute to palps if you are not also taking magnesium. The two minerals control either side of the heart beat and if you take calcium without magnesium it can lead to palps.

P.S The Tablet i metnioned in my last post ( Octeocare ) contains Vit-D3(natural form), Calcium, Magnessium, Zinc and few more minerals ....

My daughter, Wei, is three. She was adopted from China at 20 months old and has been receiving transfusion pretty much every three weeks since coming home. Month after month I asked her doctor about vitamins for her as I wanted her body to be as healthy as possible. Month after month the only thing anyone at the hospital could tell me was "folic acid". I decided to take matters into my own hands and found you. The next day I went out and purchased all that were recommended. I gave her 1/2 dose until we saw the doctor. I think he approved the full dose, but I'd have to double check if he approved the full or the half. Anyway. Her last transfusion was postponed for a week. We went back today (3 weeks post transfusion) and her Hgb was 9.7! We were postponed one more week!
Going from three weeks to four would be incredible!!!!!!!!
Thank you, thank you, thank you for researching and sharing what you learned!
A thankful mom,
Lori

Hello Lori
You did the right thing for Wei, supplements, minerals and antioxidants are important pilliars in the management of thal. Keep searching ad reading and please do share any of your concerns.
How about her ferritin levels and what is the plan for chelation?
Keep it up
