From http://www.peacehealth.org/kbase/cam/hn-3562008.htm

Test tube studies have shown that propionyl-L-carnitine (a form of L-carnitine) protects red blood cells of people with thalassemia against free radical damage.33 In a preliminary study, children with beta thalassemia major who took 100 mg of L-carnitine per 2.2 pounds of body weight per day for three months had a significantly decreased need for blood transfusions.

L-carnitine is an amino acid that is readily found in health food stores and from mail order vitamin companies. Extending the life of red blood cells is so important that anyone with a blood disorder that destroys their red cells prematurely, should consider all methods to keep their RBC's healthy.

Thanks Manal And Mr. Andy for your prompt reply.
Next week i have app. with Priya´s Hemo and i will ask him to start with L-carnitine. I hope that will help her.

Manal : I just want to ask whether you have started new treatment for your son and if so, Pls. Keep us updeted  how he is Doing with his new treatment.

Thanks very much, My best regards to all of you. You all are just GREAT.

Dear Harminder

Actually, i didn't start yet, but hopefully i will by the end of next week. The reason for this delay is that i only got 70% of the medicine and the rest will arrive with a friend coming from Germany. These medicines i  cannot get through shipping companies because that is not allowed so i have to find someone who is coming from Germany to bring them with.

Now i am giving Ahmad the hydra day after the other until we start and i made him a CBC last week and his HB was 7.1 but what worried me was that his white blood cells dropped to 4,100

Anyway i will update you with all the details
