Natural "Cures" for Thalassemia
jsbhavsar:
While in the United States for 5 years, I was based in Minneapolis where there were lot of stores from China, Vietnam.
One such store used to give me a mixture of following Chinese herbs to treat my beta thalassemia minor:
益髓生血颗粒(YSSXG)的成分(ingredient)：
Yi Sui Sheng Xue Chong Ji
(Boost the Marrow, Generate Blood Granules)
山茱萸Shan Zhu Yu: 9 grams
制何首乌[processed] He Shou Wu: 15 grams
熟地黄Shou Di Huang: 15 grams
炙黄芪[processed] Huang Qi: 24 grams
党参Dang Shen: 12 grams
当归Dang Gui: 12 grams
补骨脂Bu Gu Zhi: 6 grams
鸡血藤Ji Xue Teng: 18 grams
阿胶A Jiao: 12 grams
鳖甲Bie Jia: 12 grams
砂仁Sha Ren: 6 grams
胎盘 Tai Pan : 12 grams
All the herb ingredients were like 200 to 300 gm. All of them were to be emptied in 0.5 litre water and boil for 30 to 40 mins. Then let it cool down to 1 mug of mixture, just take the water with the extract.
It did help me to some extent.

As much as it is bothersome it is disturbing that I am functioning at a lower level then my potential. After some serious research I came across only one website that showed a study that caught my attention. Please comment on this. I am particularly interested in people who may have tried it.
For those of you that don't feel like reading it...it says that several studies were done to show that herbal remdies actually "cured" thal minor. The most specific study was a very small group but showed 16 out of 17 patients were cured. It worked by changing the functioning of the kidneys which in turn altered the bone marrow and creation of red blood cells.

Andy Battaglia:
Did you find that these herbal remedies had value? I have heard of this many times. but have not learned whether or not it is truly useful.
jsbhavsar:
I took these herbal remedies (year 2009-2012 range) by boiling the ingredients in a large pot of water and drinking the extract. It did help me many weeks.
Now, there were two persons in the Vietnami store in Minneapolis who would pack the YSSXG ingredients for me.
When the lady's daughter would pack the ingredients for me (this happened only one or two times), those packets brought the best results in my body even when I was not taking daily Folic acid then, only quarterly B12 was taken and 100mch thyroxine was taken.
When the lady herself would pack the ingredients for me, those packets did not bring the best results in my body even.
As I am good in giving the feedback to anyone, I gave the same feedback to the lady. But she rubbished the claim saying both she and her daughter put the same ingredients in the package and nothing is different.
After I moved from Minneapolis, I lost touch. I am yet to see any Chinese herbal store in Mumbai, India and it is a distant reality to have one here.
eng.Aaron:
dear Andy, i have always wondered if i was really a thal major!! i was diagnosed after age of 3
i get BT every 3 week with Pre T above 9 mostly
that doesn't really matter now, but i have tried WheatGrass powder in a water and drank it maybe 3 times only
and i did felt better
but it very difficult for me to drink the powder in a water mix
so, my Question is, is there any wheatgrass capsules of tablets that can just swallow ? and it is effective?
if yes, can you recommend me a brand i can buy it from Amazon or Iherb.com ??
thanks in advance
