Camel's Milk, Natural Therapy for Insulin Activity in Diabetics, and Autoimmune Diseases
Camel's Milk, Natural Therapy for Insulin Activity in Diabetics, and Autoimmune Diseases
Camel's milk might not just probably be making inroad into the shelf space in the near future but could gradually displace other milk products has it's becoming a hot commodity. Being easily digestible compare to cow's milk could make it a choice dairy products among the lactose intolerant consumers. Thanks to FDA who has approved the consumption of this diary milk
According to Dr. Millie Hinkle, founder of the American Camel Association and Camel Milk USA, which conducts research on camel milk industry, there are about 3,000 camels in the United States, with fewer camel dairy farms in the United States, which are Troyer Family Farm and Oasis Camel Dairy.
Camel's milk is largely consumed in Northern Kenya in its raw form. Unpasterized camel's milk just like any raw diary product is heavily flooded with pathogenic organism and consumers risk contracting food borne diseases
Camel's milk has continuously gain acceptance among the locals and as superfoods against diabetes, autism, hepatitis B, allergic diseases, cancer, shingles and other autoimmune conditions
Pasterized camel milk is safe and is a choice therapy in improving long-term glycemic control and can provide a significant reduction in the dose of insulin required by type 1 diabetic patients.
Evidence-based reviews of research findings on the use of camel milk in diabetes management, reveals that camel milk has a powerful effect in reducing blood glucose levels and insulin requirement, and it limits diabetic complications such as elevated cholesterol levels, liver and kidney diseases; decreased oxidative stress; and delayed wound healing.
A new study published in the African Journal of Traditional, Complementary and Alternative Medicines done by a team of researchers from Egypt’s premier universities and health agencies examined rat models of diabetes to establish that the dairy product might indeed bolster diabetes management.
The researchers studied 75 male albino rats that were divided into five equal groups. The scientists designated two groups as either negative or positive diabetes controls. The team also gave two other groups camel milk, while the last group was given the diabetes drug metformin.
The experts supplemented the rats with camel milk for two consecutive months. The research team then ran a series of assays to examine the animals’ serum glucose, leptin, and insulin levels as well as liver, kidney and lipid profile.
The results revealed that diabetic rats given camel milk exhibited a decline in glucose levels compared with the controls. The researchers explained that the changes in glucose levels were associated with the increase in insulin secretion among rats given camel milk. The findings also showed that camel milk supplementation helped increase leptin levels and improve peripheral glucose utilization and homeostasis in treated rats.
Lori Chong, a registered dietitian at The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center also research that camel milk might be helpful for people with autism, Type 1 diabetes, food allergies, hepatitis B and other autoimmune diseases,
“Studies have shown that the consumption of camel milk increases the bodies' production of antioxidant enzymes thereby lowering oxidative stress within the body,” Chong said. “Studies have also shown that daily consumption of camel's milk can improve glycemic control while also lowering the insulin requirement of people with Type 1 diabetes.”
While Journal of Diabetes Research and Clinical Practice showed that camel’s milk as an adjunct to insulin therapy improves long-term glycemic control and reduction in doses of insulin in patients with Type 1 diabetes.
A study of eight children with food allergies published in the Israeli Medical Association Journal, revealed that camel’s milk helps to overcome severe food allergies, primarily milk related conditions.
Nutritionally, camel’s milk has more iron and vitamin C than cow's milk which is never a good source of these nutrients. It's also slightly lower in total fat and saturated fat, and equal to cow’s milk in total calories and protein.
