1. Camel Milk Inhibits Growth of Colon Cancer and
other Health Potentials
If the idea of drinking camel milk seems strange to you, how about camel milk as medicine?
Scientists have found that a component of camel milk may play a significant role in colon
cancer, a disease that is diagnosed in more than 102,000 people per year in the United States
alone.
What’s special about camel milk?
Camels may not be plentiful in the United States (there are about 3,000, according to the
American Camel Coalition), but in many parts of Africa and the Middle East, they are a common
sight. Although they are a mode of transportation, camels also are a source of nutritious milk
and, in recent years, that milk has been the subject of research for medicinal purposes.
One such use came to light in a new study in which researchers found that a component of
camel milk, called lactoferrin, may stop the growth of colon cancer cells. Lactoferrin has
antioxidant properties and also binds with iron, which could prevent DNA damage associated
with cancer development.

2. Camel’s milk is lower in fat and cholesterol than cow’s milk, but contains five times as much
vitamin C. Studies in India show it contains high levels of insulin and is helpful to people with
type 2 diabetes. In India, it is used to treat a range of illnesses. Although it contains lactose, it
has lower amounts than cow’s milk. As yet unavailable in Britain, but Harrods is said to be
interested in stocking it.
CONS:
Rather watery and salty — an acquired taste.
Most people may not have been too familiar with camel milk. But it turns out this milk has
many benefits for the body and have a better nutrient content that is known as a 'superfood'.
Camel milk has been widely consumed in almost all Arab countries, this milk tastes slightly
saltier than other milk and is often produced as cheese.
UN organizations dealing with food (Food and Agriculture Organisation / FAO) said that camel
milk is rich in vitamin B note, C and iron content 10 times faster than that of cow's milk.
In addition to mineral and vitamin contents are high, research has shown that antibodies
contained in the alleged camel milk could help fight cancer, HIV, AIDS, Alzheimer's and hepatitis
C.
"Camel milk could be a useful addition to food because it contains calcium and vitamin B and
has a saturated fat content less than cow's milk," said a spokesman from the British Nutrition
Foundation.
Another advantage of camel milk is not contain two powerful allergens that have been found in
cow's milk, and has a component of the immune system that may provide benefits to children
who are allergic to milk and other foods.
Potential components of the immune system in camel milk is expected to help fight some
diseases. The researchers speculate that the small size of immunoglobulin or antibodies found
in camel milk is more easily allow it to target the disease-causing foreign substances (antigens)
that damage a person's immune system.

3. Dr. Reuven Yagil, an expert on the physiology of Israel who conducted the study for 5 years said
that camel milk can be overcome autoimmune disorders that suppress the immune system of a
person.
But it still needed further research, because scientific evidence that there has not been enough
to prove the effectiveness of camel milk in the treatment of autoimmune diseases.
Until recently, it was a felony to sell camel milk in the U.S. In April 2009, Dr. Hinkle introduced a
proposal to the Food and Drug Administration's (FDA) Committee on Interstate Milk Shipments
in Orlando, Florida. The proposal was to change the law to allow the "camelids" to be included
in the dairy laws governing the sale of milk. Dr. Hinkle gave an impassioned speech before the
committee:
"How would you feel if your loved one was afflicted with diabetes and was very ill from the
drugs prescribed for the diabetes? (A high amount of individuals react negatively to the diabetic
medication.) How would you feel seeing a loved one lose an arm or a leg and eventually their
life to diabetes when just a small amount of camel milk could supply all the insulin they might
need daily? (There are 52 units of insulin per liter of camel milk.)
"What a joy it would be to see your autistic child act normally with just a little camel milk on a
daily basis. The health benefits for diabetes, autism, cancer, and many more illnesses are
endless. Please pass this proposal and allow us to begin the long road to getting camel milk
here and to finally conducting medically supervised studies here in the U.S."
The proposal was passed. Dr. Hinkle says that this will now open the door for the testing of
camel samples so that it can meet the FDA standards and for camel dairies to be set up here in
the U.S.

4. Alzheimer's Study With Camel Milk
Dr. Hinkle has just completed a six-month study with a small group of Alzheimer's patients and
camel milk. Dr. Hinkle worked with nine patients who were all in early stages of Alzheimer's and
the results "were very promising," states Dr. Hinkle.
Dr. Hinkle used a specific protocol that she developed in combination with the camel milk. "The
results were evident within a few weeks," states Dr. Hinkle. The following positive results were
noted in all the patients:
Sleep patterns improved.
Eating habits improved.
Patients became more vocal and interacted with others more and were able to participate in
conversations as well as remember conversations from previous days.
There was less confusion, less repetition, less aggression and less mood swings
within the first month.
Patients were able to complete tasks and remain on target until tasks were completed.
Memory recall improved when patients were asked to remember specific dates or events.
Physical activity improved.
"I am very pleased with the results of the study," states Dr. Hinkle. "But we need to see what
the long-term benefits will be with patients and we also need to work with specialists involving
a long-term study with more patients so that we may track those patients for several years. We
know from recent research completed that camel milk antibodies are able to cross the brain
barrier and therefore we can piggyback specific supplements and medications, etc., with each
patient to cross the brain barrier in order to work toward improving the symptoms and to
hopefully stop the progression of Alzheimer's," says Dr. Hinkle.
Lyme Disease Patients Experience Benefits of Camel Milk
Dr. Hinkle has been working with Lyme disease patients for the last three years and the results
have been impressive for many of the patients. Patients see joint pain decrease, sleep patterns

5. improve, gut issues improve, rashes disappear and the ability to think clearly improves as “brain
fog” lifts. Lyme patients are on antibiotics, which destroy much of the good gut flora, and the
camel milk helps in keeping it in balance. Camel milk is known for its antiviral, antifungal and
antibacterial properties. Dr. Hinkle is studying the effects of the milk on the Lyme spirochetes.
She utilizes a specific protocol with the milk to increase the opportunity for more favorable
results. Dr. Hinkle’s approach works to weaken the spirochetes so that more positive results are
experienced by patients as the milk also provides support to the immune system. The results
have been amazing.
Hepatitis Patients See Normal Liver Enzyme Panels on Camel Milk
Dr. Hinkle has been very pleased with the results she is seeing with hepatitis patients on the
camel milk. She has witnessed case after case of hepatitis patients whose liver enzymes have
been normal for the first time in years while on the milk. One 80-year-old patient’s test results
were normal after 40 years of elevated liver enzymes after being on the milk for only two
weeks. “The story is the same over and over and I am looking forward to working with more
hepatitis patients and their doctors to hopefully give them a brighter future for their health.”
Dr. Hinkle cautions that each case is different and that more studies need to be completed with
larger groups of individuals. She is seeking funding for a long-term study on the effects of the
camel milk in treating hepatitis and expects to see the same positive results she has noted so
far. "The antiviral properties in the milk seem to dissipate the inflammation of the liver and the
milk also provides many of the nutrients needed for healthy liver function,” states Dr. Hinkle.
