The person does not have a mineral deficiency they have psychological condition known as Pica. The reason for it can only be determined by a complete examination by a physician. If you eat 5 boxes of chalk every day over a time you will suffer from aneamia. I dont think there is any real harm in eating chalk as long as you have an iron tablet every day but of course you will have to check your bloods with your gp A person who eats five boxes of chalk everyday, would surely messed up his digestive system and excretion process, it would have caused severe constipation. Secondly, eating so much chalk dries up the water from your system leaving you dry and dehydrated, which means you would have rough skin and hair and would also result in acute anaemia. Eating so much of chalk surely means something more than a mere mineral deficiency, get yourself checked from a psychiatrist, counselling would help in weaning away from chalk in such deadly quantities. You have a life to live, live it beautifully !
