American researcher Christina Adams revealed that the benefits of camel milk and meat are “beyond imagination” for humans, noting that her son’s personal experience made her intensify her interest in camels in her field of research.

In her lecture on the sidelines of the First King Abdulaziz International Conference on Camel, Christina, who has written a book on camels, pointed out the medical and health benefits of camel milk.

She said: “We must know that camels are an ancient animal, and they had many uses in the past in the countries in which they lived, such as the Arabian Peninsula. The tribes and clans know their value well, and unfortunately there are few books about camels in the world.”

She added: “Camel milk has very many benefits for immunity, and what made me care about camels, a human story that I was exposed to, which is that after completing my master’s thesis, I gave birth to a child, and I was surprised that he had autism, and as you know, diagnosing autism is difficult, which made me go to Biological sciences, to know a lot about this disease, which seems difficult and expensive to deal with, and I spent 5 years researching, learning things about the disease, and wrote a book on the mechanism of dealing with autistic children, and in the meantime I found a man who had camels, and I asked him what is the use of camels? It is a beautiful animal that I take care of, and he told me that its usefulness lies in providing milk, as a treatment for patients in hospitals, and I felt that its milk could be useful for my son, as it does not contain any compositions that cause allergies to him.”

And she continued, “At that time, there were no experts in this field, but I continued research and studies, and I read a report recommending giving camel milk to autistic children, and I communicated with some people, and I asked colleagues about camel milk and its benefits, and I got a quantity of powdered milk, A colleague from the desert crossed in the United States of America, and I gave my son some milk, and I found him speaking fluently, and he approached me, and spoke to me with great love and affection, and began to act as if he were a normal human being, and he no longer dropped food on the ground.

She added, “Then I asked for camel milk from some colleagues, and it was delivered to me through the airport, and it cost me a lot. After that, I decided to write about the importance of camel milk, and showed how it can be used in treating autistic children.”

She pointed out that in addition to its benefit for autistic patients, camel milk helps in treating other diseases, and this is confirmed by science on the importance of camels in controlling several diseases, including the Corona virus, and the antibacterials found in camel milk, as well as food products from camel meat.

And she added, “It is important to develop studies on camels and benefit from them to enhance human health and promote well-being, and this needs more scientific research and medical support.”
