Camel’s milk is newer knowledge to the general public. I did not use it with my son because it wasn’t around then, or I didn’t know about it yet. I listened to a lecture when I was recently at the Autism One conference from Barry Smeltzer, who specializes in this field.
Camels’ milk should be used along with the help of a trained physician. It is used like medicine, as in only a few drops or teaspoons to begin. It may over stimulate the immune system if used to heavily and too quickly. The probiotic strains can that cause similar changes and increasing the benefits are similar to increasing any good bacteria and giving quality probiotics. Too much will cause die off reactions.
Camel’s milk does not have the same beta-casein structure as bovine milk, so it does not cause the same reactions as casein. This means it should be tolerated by most who are sensitive to casein, (the protein in cow’s milk). As with anything new, always muscle test first to be sure your child’s body is accepting of it and to know what dosage to begin with.

Some of the benefits of Camel’s milk he noted are:
It contains good fats
It contains probiotics that inhibit pathogenic bacteria and increase immunoglobulin
It heals the mucosal matrix
It prevents adhesions (as in leaky gut adhesions)
It has 3 times the amount of vitamin C than dairy
It has more minerals than bovine milk and higher protein
It has two times more antibodies than breast milk with smaller molecules to help cross the gut/brain barrier
Symptom changes noted from Camel’s milk:
may reverse allergies for people with cow’s milk allergies
may increase words and speech
help to balance the GI tract
calmer moods
weight gain
reduces acid reflux
increases empathy
It is challenging to get quality Camels milk now. They only have a small herd to supply a large demand. They are working on increasing this, but it will take time. If you do purchase some be sure it is grass fed, was low heat pasteurized (not high heat which kills the probiotics and many of the benefits), should be at least, flash pasteurized, not raw, and it should not be a powdered source because the water used to make the powder form is often not pure, has toxins, and may be sprayed with chemicals.To find camels milk near you just google your country name along with the words “camels milk”. There is a quality company in Colorado in the U.S, and they ship throughout North America. They are, Camel Culture. Use code “Karen20” for 20% off!
Children on the autism spectrum also have co-infections, or co-morbid symptoms, such as mold biotoxins, lyme disease, and compromised immune systems. These all effect the gut and their overall health, especially since 70-80% of the immune system is in the gut. These comorbid infections also cause gut issues and make our kids sick and can be the reason your child does not get better.

nice article Karen! thanks for keeping us updated:)
Hi Karen, Would buying frozen raw camel’s milk be a good source or do they recommend fresh?
Thanks for all that you do!
I’m not positive, but I would assume that frozen would be a good source, as long as it followed the other quality guidelines in the article.

Hi Surinder,
Camels milk does help the gut to begin balancing the bacterial growth which can effect speech but there is much more to it. If you are interested, I have a free workshop that explains more of this. You can get it at, https://naturallyrecoveringautism.com/freeworkshop/
