CAMEL MILK MAY WORK WONDERS ON BRAIN CONDITIONS AND AUTISM SPECTRUM DISORDER
Camel Milk has been studied for its effects on behavioral conditions in children, and people suggest that it may aid those with Autism. Most of the evidence is anecdotal, though a few small studies indicate potential benefits for improving autistic behaviors.
Autism spectrum disorders is an umbrella term for several neurodevelopmental conditions that can impair social interactions and cause repetitive behaviors
One study found that came milk may improve autistic behavior in children on the spectrum. However, this study used cow's milk as a placebo and noted that many of the participants had led ton lactose intolerance or milk allergy.
Another study in 65 children with autism ages 2-12 years old noted that 2 weeks of drinking camel milk led to significant improvements in autistic behavioral symptoms, which were not seen in the placebo group.
Research is not promising, replacing standard treatments with camel milk is not recommended.
Lastly, camel milk may benefit neurodegenerative diseases like parkinsons and Alzheimer's.
