Kaalya Daniel, PhD covers the very interesting topic of camel milk in her interview on The Nourishing Hope for Autism Summit<\/a><\/p>\n

How You Can Use the Healing Properties of Camel\u2019s Milk for Autism<\/h2>\n

Camel\u2019s milk is like no other milk. You\u2019ll learn the unique and powerful immune system properties and nutrient benefits of this milk, from an animal known to endure extreme conditions. And how it helps with autism, even when you can\u2019t tolerate other milk.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I don\u2019t have access to the interview transcript yet but since this is a new topic I haven\u2019t yet blogged about I\u2019ve decided to highlight this interview as one I\u2019m really interested in exploring for mom\u2019s in my community with children on the spectrum, with ADHD or other developmental disorders.<\/p>\n

In case you\u2019re new to camel\u2019s milk, a paper published in 2015 – Nutritional and Therapeutic Characteristics of Camel Milk in Children: A Systematic Review<\/strong><\/a>, shares the following:<\/p>\n

Camel\u00a0milk\u00a0is the closest to a\u00a0human\u00a0mother’s\u00a0milk.\u00a0Camel\u00a0milk\u00a0is different from other milks, however, having low sugar and cholesterol, high minerals (sodium, potassium, iron, copper, zinc and magnesium, and vitamin C). The\u00a0milk\u00a0is considered have medicinal characteristics as well.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The study concludes that there is evidence denoting the importance, usability and benefits of camel\u2019s milk:<\/p>\n

Camel\u00a0milk\u00a0as a supplemental treatment seems less invasive and costly than specialist care, medications, alternative treatments, and behavioral interventions. Based on our findings,\u00a0camel\u00a0milk\u00a0is safer for children, effective in the treatment of\u00a0autism, improves general well-being, promotes body natural defenses, is a good nutritional source, and can helps the daily nutritional needs of humans.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Given the many overlaps we see with autism\/ASD and anxiety\/depression, it\u2019s clear that camel milk has wide applications given the benefits we see has for immunity, the gut and inflammation, as well as providing nourishment when dairy cannot be tolerated. As you can see in the above study below camel milk consumption has been shown to improve general well-being.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m not sure if anxiety and GABA is covered in the interview but I did find some interesting research reporting that both\u00a0camel\u00a0and goat milk have significantly more bioavailable\u00a0GABA<\/a>\u00a0than cow and\u00a0human\u00a0milk \u2013 which may be another beneficial mechanism.<\/p>\n

Here are just a few of the other speakers and topics I\u2019m really looking forward to hearing:<\/p>\n
