Hi Manal,

The only thing that I can think of it for normal people, could be the Iron content; which is not recommended for Thals.!

Take care, Peace!

Andy Battaglia:
Red grapes are a good source of resveratrol, which has exhibited properties similar to hydroxyurea in tests. Grapes are actually low in iron. 100 grams contain only about 1/3 mg iron.

--- Quote ---Resveratrol, a natural dietary polyphenol...This compound inhibits ribonucleotide reductase as does hydroxyurea...we show here that 50 micromol/l of resveratrol induced a higher haemoglobin production (sevenfold) in K562 cells than 500 micromol/l of hydroxyurea (3.5-fold). This erythroid differentiation was linked to a dose- and time-dependent inhibition of cell proliferation associated with an equivalent increased expression of p21 mRNA, but with a higher increased level of p21 protein (sixfold) for cells treated with resveratrol than for those treated with hydroxyurea (1.5-fold). We also show that 50 micromol/l of resveratrol and 25 micromol/l of hydroxyurea induced variable but similar enhancements of fetal haemoglobin synthesis in cultured erythroid progenitors

Red grapes are also high in antioxidants,which is another property beneficial to anyone but especially for thals. Eat to your heart's desire.  :wink

Cool!!

I wonder the (red) grape juice is better and more concentrated than the whole fruit. I think this should be tried before hydroxyurea if someone is plans to go for hydroxyurea.

I'll definitely give it a try. I hope it does some good to us Thal. major too!

Take care, Peace!

Manal:
Waw Andy

Great information. Thanks a lot

Of course i will give it a try, hope it makes a difference.

It is really amazing that food contain the active ingrident found in medcine.  I think some day people will depend on food as a cure. Like the Japenesse man who has been treating many people from cancer through special kinds of food with calculated amounts.
