Hi Sajid, its still in research level, but we have great hope, alternative means, we are trying to improve the mechanism of iron chelation. May be oral tablet or single injection, lets hope this will work. The disadvantage of Desferal is though its very good iron chelator, its half life in blood is very short, thats why we have to give subcutaneous injections for quite long time. We are trying to find a shuttle chelation system, hopefully this will work far better. I will let you all know more once I am convinced more on this research.

Hi Andy

Today my daughter has mailed some needles to you for the Maldives get together. We hope some one will be benefited by them. I wish I could we could do more. My daughter is on the Exjade just for 2 months now, and so she still has to wait and watch if she needs Desferal again. Otherwise she would have sent you her pump and some more needles.
Please let me know once you receive them.

Andy Battaglia:
Hi Shikha,

Thank you and thank your daughter for the needles. I should have a nice assortment for the kids over there.  :smileblue   

And thanks for reminding people that I'm still looking for a working pump to take with me. Time is short, so contact me ASAP if you have one.

Thanks,
Andy
