Did U Know That

Narendra:
Did You Know That:Because it is a genetic trait and not a health condition, except for extremely rare cases, thalassemia trait has no symptoms.

From:- http://www.thalassemia.org/sections.php?sec=1&tab=8&sub=27#2

This means anyone can be a Thal (minor) and not know about it. I think it would be a good idea to get tested for thal(minor) if they haven't got tested (especially if they are from risk communities)

Hey narendra, you are very right a thal minor may go undetected for life. the same case was in me, during my wife's pregnancy, doctors felt i could not be a carrier - conisdering my built and sports history, my wife's was a known thal minor but i was totally unaware of thalassemia and the result was drastic - our first born son a thal major

hummm .. As many doctors are keen to prescibe Zinc to their patients. .. i feel that we have to  sahre the benefits of zinc as well ... to remove the hesitation to adding zinc suplements in our medicines ....

Zinc has traditionally been linked to cellular growth and repair, with impacts seen in vision, taste and smell, and supporting the immune system. This mineral element is also present in dozens of enzymes that are essential to digestion and metabolism. Manufactured with the Biotron process of amino acid chelation, which ensures maximum absorption and mineral usage throughout the body. A special base encourages slow, sustained release of zinc over a prolonged period.

Zinc is necessary for most Thals on Deferiprox when the serum zinc becomes too low; as it chelates zinc along iron. Otherwise if you have a balanced diet and your level is fine then there is nothing to get concerned about.
