Welcome to Camel Milk USA

• Working with camel owners here in the U.S. to set up dairies and working with labs and the FDA to get test kits completed. The test kits must be completed before the milk can be sold commercially in stores. The kits test for antibiotic residue in the milk. She also is working with foreign dairies to meet the requirements needed to get their milk into the U.S. This is involved and time consuming, but is moving along quite well. Dr. Hinkle states that imported milk in powder form should be on store shelves within the next six to eight months.
• Dr. Hinkle was asked to present the progress with the camel dairies across the U.S. before the FDA and the Interstate Milk Shipment Committee in May 2011 at the National Conference. Phase I of the milk test kit is finally underway and Dr. Hinkle is in charge of coordinating the milk from the dairies with the labs and the FDA. The dairies are excited to finally be able to move forward with the test kits and for the antibiotic residue and the somatic cell count.
• Working with autistic children around the U.S. and across the world with camel milk to determine the correct dosage, expected results, etc. Dr. Hinkle cautions that not every child can drink the milk and therefore she tests each child to determine if he or she is a candidate for the camel milk and the correct dosage needed. Each child is different.
  Dr. Hinkle states that the autism studies are going well. The first things that parents report noticing are an increase in verbal skills, better sleep patterns, disappearance of gut issues, more interaction with others and a better attention span. In many of the children, the seizures have ceased. Dr. Hinkle is currently involved with two international studies and one national study on autism and allergies in children and is looking forward to determining the role the camel milk plays in the health of each child.
  Dr. Hinkle has developed a new and more-effective protocol for camel milk for each illness and will publish it soon. Dr. Hinkle's new method gets beneficial results rapidly in comparison with the method of giving the milk. Dr. Hinkle cautions parents of autistic children that camel milk alone will not cure autism. The children in all of her studies have to be free of vaccines, heavy metals, insecticides, pesticides, drug residue and pathogens before the child can function normally on his or her own. There are very specific supplements and protocols for diabetes, autism, cancer, etc., that must be followed for the best results. A gluten-free and casein-free diet must be followed for autistic children and those with several other illnesses to see the required results.
  
• Working with eight major U.S. universities on research projects with camel milk. Dr. Hinkle states that at the present time, there are studies being done on such things as the effect of the milk on neurotransmitter levels in the brain, the effect of the milk on blood sugar level, the effect of the milk on the protein levels in muscle, the nutritional value of the milk, the coagulation effects of the milk in making cheese, etc.
• Dr. Hinkle has been asked to serve as a consultant on a study with allergies and autism with two major university medical centers in Saudi Arabia. She is looking forward to the results of the study. She also has been asked to sponsor a study with Georgetown University Medical Center in Washington, D.C. with Crohn's Disease and then the study will expand to include food allergies and autism as well. This will be the first large-scale study with autism as well as Crohn's Disease in the U.S. Dr. Hinkle is looking for funding for the project and looks forward to getting the study underway.
• Collaborating with camel owners throughout the U.S.to collect blood and urine samples from camels to be frozen and used in labatory studies in the coming year. Camel blood and the urine contains unique antibodies that are smaller in structure than those of mammals and have the ability to survive both acid and alkaline environments. Due to the small size of the antibodies, they are able to pass through the digestive tract and reach the bloodstream in a stable form, penetrating the crevices of cancerous tumors and destroying them. Studies done in Belgium with camel blood antibodies and colon cancer and in Saudi Arabia with the nano-particles from  camel urine with leukemia, lung, colon, pancreatic, stomach, brain and breast cancer have been exceptional. Another use of camel urine antibodies is for cardiovascular disease; it acts as a stimulate to strengthen the heart muscle. Camel milk also has been used in studies to lower cholesterol levels.
• Dr. Hinkle is working with specific camel dairies in a new study to increase the immunoglobulins in camel's milk. A combination of special herbs, seeds and oil is added to the camel's diet to raise the level of immunoglobulins in the milk. This is critically important for adults and children with immune system disorders such as cancer and autism. It should help with a boost to the immune system as well as enhance the health benefits of the milk. Dr. Hinkle is looking forward to the lab results of the milk.
• Gathering and carding camel hair for textile design studies. The camel’s coat has the ability to reflect sunlight. Dr. Hinkle wants to look at working with textile products that can be worn by individuals who have sensitivity to the sun, such as patients with skin cancer, to keep the rays of the sun deflected away from the body. 
• Conducting a medical study with one of the top holistic veterinarians in the U.S. in the first domestic study on pets with cancer and the positive effects of camel milk. Things look promising for those people who really love their pets and will do anything to help them. The insulin in the camel milk helps with the diabetes in the animals and the antibodies from the camel have the ability to penetrate a cancerous tumor cell and destroy it. Dr. Hinkle is very excited to be conducting this study, and this will open up a whole new market here in the U.S. for the milk.
• Dr. Hinkle is currently developing a line of pet products with the camel milk. She has seen so many positive results with the pets and has had hundreds of requests for the milk for pets. The pet products should be on the market by mid-summer 2012.
  
• Working to stop the pegging of camels around the world. This is a cruel practice and causes severe pain to the camel. Many camel are dying around the world from infection from this practice. Dr. Hinkle is working with rope manufacturers to obtain rope for making camel halters. Workshops are to be conducted and halters given away for free to any camel owners who will agree to cease the practice of using pegs. The practice of using pegs to lead the camel needs to be changed to a kinder, more humane method.
• Dr. Hinkle was contacted by the television show Drop Dead Diva to consult with them on a forthcoming show.
• Dr. Hinkle is featured in Bark magazine, consulted on an article that will be featured in Mental Floss magazine in the near future, and was featured in Grit magazine in June 2011. 
• Dr. Hinkle is featured in the December 2011/January 2012 issue of Animal Wellness magazine. 
• She also is featured in the Fall 2011 issue of Shawati magazine. This magazine has the largest circulation in the Middle East.
• Dr. Hinkle was a guest on the Jay Thomas Show on Sirius radio in November 2010. Mr. Thomas was a regular on the Murphy Brown and Cheers television shows.
• In a recent study with 138 autistic children, Dr. Hinkle discovered that 100% of the children needed colostrum from the camel. "Camel colostrum is rare and expensive and is needed by the baby camel for immunity," states Dr. Hinkle. She currently is working with an international scientific group to develop custom made formulas for autistic children, chemically sensitive individuals, and cancer patients, using the patients' serum and the immunoglobulins from camel colostrum. Dr. Hinkle is excited to take part in this new and innovative therapy and is looking forward to the trial results.
• Dr. Hinkle is currently working with an international dairy to develop a special powdered milk that will have the colostrum added for the autistic children and hopes to have it available by Fall 2012. Dr. Hinkle is working with breeders here in the U.S. to introduce the Cama (a cross between a camel and llama). We need more sources of milk and we need to see studies done with this new breed of animal. They have had success in Dubai with breeding of this animal and Dr. Hinkle says we have a long way to go but we have few camels here and several hundred thousand llama. This could be an alternative source for milk.
• In March 2011, Dr. Hinkle was a guest on the Luis Jimenez Show, the #1 Spanish talk radio show in the U.S. and Puerto Rico. The show also is heard worldwide via its website, making it the #1 Spanish talk show in the world online.
• Dr. Hinkle plans the first U.S. study with diabetes and camel milk. "We have had such great results with Type I and Type II diabetes that we are looking forward to a more-indepth study," states Dr. Hinkle. "Camel milk has approximately 56 units of insulin per liter," she explains. 
• Due to the many calls and demands on Dr. Hinkle's schedule and the ongoing studies she is involved in, a consultation must be scheduled. For appointment times and fees, call 1-919-928-0821.

U.S. Dairies Producing Camel Milk

Dr. Hinkle receives scores of e-mails and phone calls daily asking for a dairy selling raw camel milk. Dr. Hinkle does not sell camel milk. She is involved in camel medical research with the milk and with patients around the world. Each state has laws that govern the sale of milk. According to the FDA it is illegal to transport or sell raw camel milk across state lines. Each state has laws that also govern the sale of milk, therefore individuals need to check with the government of each state to know what the laws are regarding the sale of raw camel milk within that state. Again, Dr. Hinkle does not sell camel milk nor is she responsible for anyone buying milk from dairies selling the milk and cautions each individual to be aware of the FDA and USDA laws governing the sale of raw milk. (Individuals drinking raw camel milk are doing so at their own risk.) The following is a list of dairies that are at the present producing camel milk. (The dairies listed are not necessarily members of the American Camel Coalition and do not necessarily follow the guidelines of the American Camel Coalition.)

Efforts in Canada and Elsewhere in the World

Dr. Hinkle 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. The tariff for milk imported into Canada is so high that it makes the camel milk prohibitive to import. Dr. Hinkle is lobbying with Canadian officials to reduce the high tariff on the milk and to allow for a special concession for the camel milk. Dr. Hinkle states, "This milk is needed for health; it is not a milk for putting on cereal and is not in competition with cow or goat milk. Canadians need this milk for health purposes." She is hoping the Canadian officials will feel the same way and cooperate as officials in the U.K. have.


Dr. Hinkle has just been informed by Canadian officials that Canadians are allowed to cross the border into the U.S. to purchase the milk for personal health reasons. This is being done by many Canadians who are benefiting from the healthy effects of the milk. This is another reason Dr. Hinkle is so anxious to finish the test kits so that the milk is safe for sale to everyone.

Dr. Hinkle refers many individuals requesting the milk from countries outside of the U.S. to contact Vital Camel Milk in Kenya and Holger Marbach for assistance. His dairy is a great foreign resource for the milk.

How Can You Help?

Baby camels are being born across the U.S. 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 antibiotic residue 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. Several of our dairies now pasteurize their milk and we are starting to purchase freeze-dry machines as well so that the powdered milk may be offered for sale. Dr. Hinkle cautions that it is illegal to sell milk that is raw across state line. Even when the test kits are approved, it still will be illegal to sell raw milk across state lines. Much research has been done in the Middle East with the pasteurized milk and patients are experiencing positive results.
