Hello dear,

Thank you for your contact to health care magic.

I read and understand your concern.

I am Dr Arun Tank answering your concern.

There is no treatment as such for thalassemia patients. But you can try for stem cell transplantation.

Yes, it is now also available in the India. Stem cell transplantation can also be possible i n India. Some reputed government institute like AIIMS also doing it. So I suggest you to it.

Till you do it you can continue with the blood transfusions. There are risk of high iron load but there are no other option available.

This disease is genetically modified so I don't think Chinese herbal nedication can add the gene who is not present. So on my opinion it will not work. But if you believe it works you can try for it.

I will be happy to answer your further concern on bit.ly/DrArun.

Please hit thank you for me if you are helped.
Thank you,
