Please keep this group at the center of every information. This is our last refuge for credible, practical and understandable knowledge about thalassemia.
Social networks come and go .. i have been using yahoo360, orkut, facebook, google+, whats app and so on.. another 5 yrs and I will not be active anywhere.

Andy Battaglia:
This group has existed online in one form or another since 1999. I will do my best to keep it going. I see our Facebook groups as a supplement and not a replacement.

I was just exploring facebook group to check if i am missing something here from my wife's account (i don't hold anymore) i sent joining request to put a harshest comment on one post from Somenath Mitra about "natural iron chelator"
I think this guy should immediately be banned from thalassemia group. But let me be more democratic and put my anger there it self; i wait for joining request to approve. :)

Andy Battaglia:
Since we already know about many natural iron chelators, I will not summarily dismiss any claim about the subject until proven valueless. There are two aspects to this. First, we need to give the claim a chance to be proven. If this cannot be accomplished in due time, then we can give no credibility to the claim. But second and believe me when I say this is more important. we cannot just dismiss claims without proof, as many will still believe the false claims and waste time and money pursuing phantoms. We have to show that a claim is truly false in order to protect the innocent who will be duped otherwise.

If you are familiar with the expression "give one enough rope to hang himself" I employ that regularly. I will give Somenath enough rope to either prove the claim or hang himself.

Since we are familiar with the natural chelating ability of IP6, green tea extract, wheatgrass curcumin and others, I absolutely support further research into these methods. However, we have yet to see any natural substance that can act as more than a supplement to chelation. I will continue to press Somenath for proof.
