My friend has thalassemia and is thinking about becoming vegetarian, but every doctor has told her no, I'm trying to find out more information for her (with her permission) because she wants to try. Does anyone here have thalassemia? Or have any information that can help her? She lives in a small town like I do so medical services are some what limited. TIA.
*Thalassemia is a blood disorder passed down through families (inherited) in which the body makes an abnormal form of hemoglobin, the protein in red blood cells that carries oxygen. The disorder results in excessive destruction of red blood cells, which leads to anemia.
