Please see the thread at http://www.thalassemiapatientsandfriends.com/index.php/topic,118.msg578.html#msg578

Since this thread was written, the importance of vitamin D has become far more evident. All thals should be tested for vitamin D level. Anything below 35 should be treated. Below 20 may need weekly doses of 50,000 IU at once.
