About Camel Milk USA and Dr. Millie Hinkle

Efforts in the United States

Until recently, it was a felony to sell camel milk in the U.S. In April 2009, Dr. Hinkle introduced a proposal to the Food and Drug Administration's (FDA) Committee on Interstate Milk Shipments in Orlando, Florida. The proposal was to change the law to allow the "camelids" to be included in the dairy laws governing the sale of milk. Dr. Hinkle gave an impassioned speech before the committee:

"How would you feel if your loved one was afflicted with diabetes and was very ill from the drugs prescribed for the diabetes? (A high amount of individuals react negatively to the diabetic medication.) How would you feel seeing a loved one lose an arm or a leg and eventually their life to diabetes when just a small amount of camel milk could supply all the insulin they might need daily? (There are 52 units of insulin per liter of camel milk.)

"What a joy it would be to see your autistic child act normally with just a little camel milk on a daily basis. The health benefits for diabetes, autism, cancer, and many more illnesses are endless. Please pass this proposal and allow us to begin the long road to getting camel milk here and to finally conducting medically supervised studies here in the U.S."

The proposal was passed. Dr. Hinkle says that this will now open the door for the testing of camel samples so that it can meet the FDA standards and for camel dairies to be set up here in the U.S.

Camel Milk USA currently has many exciting things happening with camel milk. Dr. Hinkle's current efforts include:

There is so much that is happening with camel research at the moment and Camel Milk USA is leading the way here in the U.S.

Efforts in Canada and Elsewhere in the World

Dr. Hinkle also is working with Canadian officials regarding the importation of camel milk into Canada. Dr. Hinkle has had so many heartbreaking emails and calls from Canadians seeking her help for their sick loved ones.

Additionally, Dr. Hinkle is working with foreign investors to set up a resort and healing spa in Thailand, where clients may go for therapy with camel milk. This has created much interest and will be staffed with U.S. doctors. She is excited about this future therapy opportunity for her clients and hopes to be up and running by late 2010.

How Can You Help?

Camel Milk USA is concentrating its efforts on regulations and importation of camel milk and medical research. You can help spread awareness of this unique therapy by buying one of our logo tee shirts or other products to help fund the cost of the getting the laws/regulations passed, consulting with other countries, medical studies, dairy set up, and importation information and resources.

Spring is here; new baby camels are being born and the milk is flowing. There are several groups of camel breeders across the U.S. who now have camel milk available. There are so many people who email and call daily begging for the milk but the camel milk test kits must be finished before the milk can be sold nationwide. Several states allow for the sale of the milk raw while many others do not. Therefore, test kits must be designed to test the milk for any pathogens so that the public is protected from tainted milk. All of the camel owners that are members of the American Camel Coalition already test their camel for diseases but the milk must also be tested.

Dr. Hinkle is asking for contributions to try and finish the test kits that are required by the FDA. The approximate cost is $15,000 to finish the test kits. Once the money has been raised then it should only be approximately 6 months before the milk will be available nationwide.
