Infact if you google camel milk powder you will come across a number of sites selling camel milk powder. But I feel you will quit thinking of camels milk once you check the link- 10 times more iron, 3 times more vit C. For the present cows milk is the best for my little boy.

No, in that case NO camel milk for me too!
I rarely drink milk, only chocolate milk.
I hope your son is doing well.

Take care & un abrazo,

Dore

Andy Battaglia:
We need to differentiate between fresh camel's milk and iron fortified powdered camel's milk. Fresh camel's milk is not high in iron.

--- Quote ---As the whole, 163 milk samples were analyzed for calcium, phosphorus and iron determination. In order to maximize the variance, the samples were done in four different seasons which expressed the feeding change and the physiological stage changes as the calving season was concentrated in few months. The mean values were respectively 1.232 ± 0.292 g/l, 1.003 ± 0.217 g/l and 2.02 ± 1.24 mg/l for calcium, phosphorus and iron. No species, season or region effect was observed on iron content in the milk.

1.24 mg iron per liter is low and safely within range. However, I think what Maha is referring to is the powdered camel's milk which must have iron added to it, making it unsuitable for thals. If you do have access to fresh camel's milk, please don't be hesitant to drink it. Camel's milk is very good for diabetics and has been shown to raise Hb. It has so many good qualities that I do strongly recommend the use of fresh camel's milk.

Joyce,

I don't know about the benefits of goat milk on thalassemia but I have heart that it is very good for brain development and the nervous system.  I am sure there are benefits for thalassemia too.

Sharmin :)
