Thallasemia is an inherited condition. Every cell in your daughter's body has the genetic code for the disease.
Blood transfusions and iron chelators will prevent many of the problems associated with the disease, such as heart failure. Treated individuals live 20-30 years longer than those not treated.
Thalassemia has been cured using bone marrow transplants. However, this form of treatment is possible only for a small minority of patients who have a suitable bone marrow donor, and the transplant procedure is still risky and can result in death.
My suggestion would be to continue with the transfusions (and make sure she is getting the iron chelation as well)
Good luck to you and your daughter.

The only "cure" that I have any knowledge of is a bone marrow transplant from a matching donor.
There is research being conducted concerning blood platelets and gene therapy, and these may lead to a cure. If you type in thalassanemia into a search engine on your computer, there is a lot of information available.
You should get your child's doctor or doctors to place her on a bone marrow transplant list, and have family members and others tested for a match. God bless you in your search for a cure for your child. I wish you the best.

According to what I am reading Thalassaemia is an inherited disorder of the GENES. There is no "cure" for genetic mutations. That being said, I found this quote in Wikipedia:
"In recent years, bone marrow transplant has shown promise with some patients of thalassemia major. Successful transplant can eliminate the patients dependencies in transfusions."
Have you looked at the possibility of getting your daughter a bone marrow transplant?

Go to herbdoc.com and help save your daughters' and your loved ones, and your lives, by teaching your bodies how to cure itself through the use of herbs. Ask your questions of the people who run the American Botanical Pharmacy and see what they can do for you, if anything. It won't hurt and it is effective and a heck of a lot cheaper than drugs or surgeries.

Scientists have recently initiated some exciting experiments in gene therapy -- see what you can find out.
Hint: when doing research, make sure your spelling is accurate: it's spelled thalassaemia.
I wish you and your family all the best!
