These health issues are currently creating an alarming situation in Pakistan due to poor eating habits, unhealthy and unhygienic living conditions, and immune-compromised status of health. Objective: This study was conducted to compare the therapeutic potential of camel, buffalo and cow milk on human subjects suffering from tuberculosis. Methodology: The camel, buffalo and cowmilk analysis were carried out in Dairy Technology Laboratory. Chemical analysis of milk was done by proximate analysis. The efficacy study was conducted at District TB Hospital Faisalabad. After chemical analysis milk was offered to the patients suffering with tuberculosis and several parameters (age, body weight, BMI, ESR, Chest X-Ray and Sputum Smear Test) were recorded. Twenty-four patients diagnosed with tuberculosis were selected and divided into four groups. Group one was control group. Three treatments were framed (camel milk, buffalo milk and cow milk) and provided with 250ml of milk twice a day for forty days. Several parameters (body weight, Body Mass Index, Erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), chest X-Ray and sputum smear test) were recorded. Results: A significant increase in BMI of three groups (camel, buffalo and cow milk group) was observed. A significant decrease in ESR from 47.00 to 25.50 mm/hour was seen in P1 group while in P2 and P3 it was decreased from 49.17 to 40.83 mm/hour and 55.00 to 47.83 mm/hour respectively. Five patients were recovered by camel milk while only half patients showed negative report in the sputum smear test in cow and buffalo milk-fed group. Conclusion: Camel milk had beneficial effect on reduction of tuberculosis in human. However, due to short duration of study the effect of camel milk on sputum conversions and chest X-ray was not significant.&#13;
