We Can’t Stop Reading about Alice Jongerden’s Raw Milk Fast
May 21, 2013New Book Out Today Sheds Lights on the Importance of Food Rights
May 29, 2013In Kuwait, raw camel milk is commonly known to be a medicinal remedy for children who don’t speak. In the US, one stay-at-home mom discusses how it helped treat her daughters’ chronic health problems.
Lauren, whose name has been changed due to the controversy surrounding raw milk, is the mother of two girls. The older daughter has severe allergies to an array of food, seasonal and chemical irritants. The younger daughter had autism spectrum disorder (her diagnosis was cleared following her consumption of raw camel milk).
Lauren originally learned about raw camel milk in her research of natural remedies for treating autism spectrum disorder. She found a camel farmer in her area and went to meet with him to discuss the product and check out the farm to ensure it had safe handling practices. She brought home a small amount and began giving it to her younger daughter medicinally, in small doses. Within weeks, Lauren began to notice that her daughter had begun talking more, making more direct eye contact, and socializing with other children.
Shortly thereafter, Lauren’s older daughter experienced a severe outbreak of hives. Remembering that camel milk was also mentioned as a natural remedy for allergies, Lauren gave her older daughter a glass to drink – and the hives cleared up within 20 minutes.
Now, Lauren keeps raw camel milk in her freezer to have on hand when one of her daughters requires it. She credits the raw milk with helping to heal her children’s autism and allergies and, although worried about the possible legal ramifications of buying the milk says that, first and foremost, her job is to be a good mom and care for her daughters – and this is what helped them.

N can u tell me frm whr i can gt raw camel milk?m also staying in kwt…plz plz help me n rep me
Toobawassim –
You are in my thoughts. As camel’s milk is a natural food and not usually thought of as doses I would give however much a child will take. Start small and see how it goes. We gave about 4 ounces twice a day. We didn’t add anything but friends did for their kids and I think that is fine.
From my friend who lived in Kuwait… “Yes they’re now selling camel’s milk in some grocery stores, which is pretty recent. I think Sultan Center sells it and I believe another store called, “Arth altabi3a” sells it too. That’s the arabic name. Not sure what it’s called in English. I’m pretty sure that Sultan center in Sha’ab sells camel’s milk. If not, she can ask them and they may be able to direct her.”
Best of luck. Your child is blessed to have you.
Horlicks is a malt. Malt is also bad for autism, along with barley and wheat.

Hi how much camel milk should you give a 7 year old with autsim per day.
As much as he or she wants. FYI, camel’s milk is lower in saturated fat than cow’s milk. You may get better results with cow’s milk, unless the child is allergic.
Govin,

Hi

I came to know that camel milk should be given either fresh or frozen. Please let me know is it okay to give him now.
Sally Fallon Morell replies: Yes, three days is fine, you can give it to him.
Hi I am a grandmother who has temporary custody of my 17 year old grandson who has Asperger’s ADHD conduct disorder severe anxiety and he wants to get better please tell me where I can order the Camel’s milk I live in Naperville Illinois near Chicago please let me know because he really wants to get better he’s very upset that he had to have this disease upset about his life thank you Ellen
hi Ellen, I’m sorry to hear of your grandson’s struggles. Camel milk is a pretty new thing and not as widely available yet as cow, goat, sheep milk. Here’s the link to all the raw milk sources we know of for Illinois: https://www.realmilk.com/real-milk-finder/illinois/#il but they may not include any camel. However, it may be that camel milk providers will ship it to you frozen. Have you searched online pretty thoroughly?

Hi, I am facing same problem with my 2 year old son, can you please let me know from where I can get camel fresh milk in muscat capital area? Your reply will be highly appreciable.
My child is suffering from autism n taking camel milk but need few clarity.
Can we give cow Ghee or bufallow Ghee
Can we give wheat or rice
Sally Fallon Morell replies: I am sure ghee is fine, but wheat or rice may not be good at this time. We recommend the GAPS diet until the child heals, and then give grains properly prepared.
Should we use dry Camel milk for autism treatment?
Hi my son is 7yrs old..he is normal..what quantity i can give to him…plz tell
Sally Fallon Morell says:
You can give him as much as he would like, but raw camel milk can be expensive.
Hi is there any limitation how much a five years 0ld child should drink camel milk per day for autism spectrum. Thank you
If the milk is raw, no limitation. I would not give pasteurized camel milk–much better to give raw milk from cows or goats.
Hi – My son is 3.5 years old and not speaking and communicating with autistic syndrome…can I give him Camel milk powder (Desert farm & Dromediary) product? in my area I don’t find raw or frozen camel milk, please suggest and how much I can give? Is i safe give camel milk power?
Thank you all for helping here.
Here’s a response from Sally Fallon Morell: I don’t think there would be much good in the powdered camel milk. Autistic children often benefit from raw milk–could be camel, cow or goat.
Are you within driving distance of (Amish Country in… Lancaster County) Pennsylvania.

I would take your next vacation there and try it for a week and see how much he improves in that time.
I will be receiving my first case of Camel milk soon. The Author of Speak Up Butter Cup won me over. My daughter will be 5yrs old the end of this month diagnosed ASD at about 2 yrs old. She will say a word or 2 every now and then. Im praying this helps her spring out with speech. Right now i give her detox baths, Gluten Free Diet & Probiotics. Just wondering what dosage should i give her?
I found raw freeze dried camel milk colostrum. My autistic son is doing wonderful on GAPS. Would raw camel milk colostrum be helpful? And is it GAPS approved? Lactose content?
Hi , my son has ASD and ADHD . He is a 13 year old boy . I am thinking to order raw fresh or frozen camel milk from PA Amish county. So before doing so I would like to know how much of the raw milk should I be giving him ? Should it be on a daily basis? Or whenever he wants ? How much is too much exactly ? Hoping soon for a reply. Thank you so much !
Sally Fallon Morell replies: I would start slowly (a tablespoon or two) and build up to 2-3 cups per day. We would be interested in the results. Raw milk from any species should be beneficial.
My son is 3.4 ..He is autistic. I star to give him long life whole camel milk .250ml..A day. Is it too much..and how long it’s take to notice some change.thanks
Sally Fallon Morell responds: Any kind of raw milk is good for autistic children–I assume it is raw camel milk you are giving him?
You should start slow with the milk–just a couple of spoonfuls, and then build slowly. The milk should be at room temperature. You can build up to 1 quart per day if the child likes it. (Camel milk would be very expensive at these amounts.) I am guessing you should see improvements within 2-3 weeks.
Other dietary changes that would be helpful is to eliminate processed food/sugar, and feed lots of eggs, bone broth, meat, and give cod liver oil and occasional liver.
