Q. My child is having a reaction to milk I purchased from a dairy that is not a member of the American Camel Coalition. Can you help me?

A. Absolutely! Dr. Hinkle offers consultation sessions by telephone and in her office. Contact her for a consultation at 1-919-928-0821.

Q. I purchased milk twice from a dairy that is not a member of American Camel Coalition. The second batch of milk doesn't taste nor look the same as the first and my child will not drink it. Is something wrong with the milk?

A. Maybe yes, maybe no. In order for Dr. Hinkle to completely answer your question, she would need additional information from you. Call her office at 1-919-928-0821 to schedule a consultation . (Dr. Hinkle recommends that you purchase milk only from members of the American Camel Coalition because they adhere to her strict guidelines.)

Q. My child seems to be hyperactive when I give him his night time dose of the camel milk. Could he be allergic to it?

A. If your child does not exhibit symptoms of hyperactivity when drinking the milk during the day, then the answer is, "No." I have tested hundreds of autistic children and have never had this experience with any of my patients. I would question the dosage you are giving your child and if you are mixing anything with the milk, such as a sweetener or some type of flavoring, like chocolate. I do not allow chocolate, because it can stimulate the nervous system and cause hyperactivity. Are you giving your child any supplements with the milk or within 2 hours of drinking the milk? This can also cause problems. I have also found that often the supplements may need to be reduced if the child is drinking more than 8 ounces of the milk daily, because the milk is such a great source of nutrients. They may be getting more than they need of a vitamin or mineral. That is why I test each child individually.

Q. My child does not like the taste of the milk. Can I add a sweetener, such as honey?

A. I do not recommend honey. Medical doctors do not allow children under the age of 2 years to have honey, because it can negatively affect their health. Your child's immune system is already compromised and raw honey can develop mold and aflatoxins, therefore I do not allow our patients to use it. Honey can also cause blood sugar levels to spike. I have had great success with light amber organic maple syrup. I recommend the 365 Brand from Whole Foods. (Do not use the medium or dark maple syrup.) Use maple syrup or any sweetener in small limited amounts. Sugar can feed the mold, candida, aflatoxins, etc. in the child. I have also had success with agave. Each child is different as to what they can tolerate. Try instead making a fruit smoothie with fresh fruit that the child is not allergic to and the camel milk.

Q. My husband has diabetes. Does he need to be on a special diet for the milk to work?

A. The milk will help with lowering glucose levels, but more success is seen when the patient is on a low carb, gluten free, casein free diet. Medical studies have shown that cow milk raises glucose levels and that camel milk actually lowers glucose levels and cholesterol. Recent studies have also shown that gluten can raise glucose levels as well. Therefore, for best results I recommend the camel milk along with a low carb, gluten free, casein free diet.
Q. How much camel milk should I give my autistic child?
A. Each individual is different and the dosage for each illness is different. For instance, a patient with diabetes may need more than an autistic child, and a cancer patient may need more than someone with Crohn's disease, etc. Each child in my practice is tested for the correct dosage and I have seen children who can tolerate only 1 tablespoon for the first few days to children who need 8 or more ounces in the beginning. I consult with patients from around the world who are unable to come to my office and the formulation of the dosage is based on age, weight, degree of autism and other health related factors such as specific allergins, etc. All of these factors are considered in the equation of the milk dosage and the children seem to do very well. There will be a point in time when your child will reach a maintenance dosage, and then after many months on the milk the child may even be able to maintain on a lower dosage than in the beginning, while still retaining the excellent benefits of the milk, although each case is different.
Q. My child has been on camel milk for about 6 weeks, but in the last few days he seems worse. Is he becoming allergic to the milk?
A. If your child has been on the milk for an extended period of time with no adverse effects, then I doubt that he is allergic to the milk. Several things should be considered. He may be having a "die off" effect, because the camel milk has antifungal, antiviral, antibacterial properties and if the dosage is too high it may be causing these pathogens to "die off" too rapidly. Stop the milk for 72 hours (3 days) then restart the milk at a much lower dosage. His supplements may also need to be adjusted. The milk is so rich in vitamins and minerals that he may not need the high amounts that he may be taking in pill form. Another possibility is that your child may have been exposed to a toxin of some kind, such as a pesticide or insecticide. I would need to know his exact symptoms to help determine this.
Q. How do I know if my child is experiencing a "die off" or an allergic reaction to the milk?
A. A "die off" usually appears after the child has been on the milk for more than a week or two, but not always. The child can exhibit symptoms such as earache, sore throat, headache, and they may also have a low-grade fever, in other words symptoms are more cold or flu like in nature. An allergic reaction to the milk will appear within a few hours or days. And the symptoms will usually result in a rash or welt or eczema and the child may even have loose stools. If this is the case, then stop the milk for the 72 hours recommended and then start them back on a very low dosage. If the symptoms reoccur, then stop the camel milk. I also have found that in many children that if I start them on DPPIV and specific enzymes that we have for the milk in my practice, then often the child is able to handle small amounts of the milk without any adverse effects. The DPPIV needs to be started at least 48 hours before ingesting the milk. If the milk is contaminated in some way then you may see vomiting, diarrhea, fever, etc. and need to stop the milk immediately. If the child has had a toxic exposure to an outside element such as a chemical, pesticide, insecticide, etc. then the autism symptoms that are neurological will be more evident, such as outbursts and agitation, etc.
Q. My child has been on the milk for over a year. He was doing so well that I took him off the milk. Now his autism symptoms seem to be getting worse since I discontinued the milk. How long must he be on the milk?
A. I have worked with autistic children daily for almost 30 years and have seen many children recover from the autism symptoms, but only when all of the heavy metals and other toxins have been dealt with. I have seen autistic children in my practice who have been on the milk 3 years or more and once the heavy metals are gone, they do fine without the milk. But I have also seen many children who have discontinued the milk and still have heavy metal overload and the symptoms reappear within a period of time. You will need the milk as long as the heavy metal levels are elevated, and even once the levels are in a normal range you should still continue the milk another 4-6 months to help with any pathogen residue.

Q. I am taking 60 units of insulin per day for my diabetes. I understand that there are about 52 units of insulin per liter of the camel milk. Do I have to drink a whole liter or more daily to get the insulin I need?
A. No, not necessarily. Much of the medical type insulin is destroyed in the stomach and you have to take higher doses of the medical type insulin than the camel milk. The insulin properties in the camel milk are not destroyed in the stomach and are able to pass through to the intestines where they are better utilized and absorbed by the body. In my practice I have all of my diabetic patients on a gluten and casein free diet. Medical studies have shown that casein in cow milk raises glucose levels while the camel milk actually lowers the glucose level as well as cholesterol levels. More recent studies show that gluten also will raise the glucose levels. You will need to drink a specific amount of the milk. This is included in my protocol along with other specific supplements. For instance, new studies out this past year link diabetes with environmental toxins such as heavy metals and/or pesticides insecticides, etc. I have always checked all my diabetic patients for these toxins and have found that to be true in my practice. There is a specific protocol for lowering the levels of these contaminates.
There are also specific nutrients that I add to each patients regime that also lower the glucose levels. Therefore with a low carb diet, exercise, and following the protocol described above with the incorporation of the camel milk I have seen dramatic changes in glucose levels!!

Q. Where can I purchase the supplements that are recommended for my autistic child or that are related to helping to manage my diabetes? Is there a discount available?

A. You can purchase the supplements by contacting Dr. Hinkle's office at 1-919-928-0821. Dr. Hinkle offers a 20% discount on all orders.

Q. Is Dr. Hinkle available to speak to my group about the benefits of camel milk?

A. Yes--she's available to speak on that as well as other related topics, such as her ongoing research. To schedule Dr. Hinkle, contact her at 1-919-928-0821.

Q: I ordered some powder camel milk but have not seen any positive results for my autistic child.  Does it work as well as the fresh milk?

A: I have tested many patients on the powder milk and no patient has had any positive results. The powder milk has not lowered glucose levels in my diabetic patients and I have not had even one autistic child who had any improvement on the powder milk. Once we return them to the fresh milk they all have excellent results. Do not waste your money on this milk. People selling the milk promise that it works just as well, but that has not been the case at all in my practice.

Q: My child is allergic to the camel milk and breaks out in a rash every time he drinks it. Is there any other milk that might be good for him?

A: Yes, I am working with several other milk and some of them have shown even better results with patients. The water buffalo milk is so very high in the good fats, with 50 percent more fat in the milk than cow milk and 40 percent less cholesterol. For the last 28 years I have recommended water buffalo mozzarella cheese for patients who could not tolerate cow or goat milk, with excellent results.  Many of my autistic patients use the cheese and yogurt. I am working with the water buffalo dairies here in the U.S. to get more milk production going for the consumer. The taste is wonderful. It has a sweet taste. I am also testing children on donkey milk and I am seeing great results with this. Donkey milk is the closest to human milk of any animal being milked. It has 60 times the amount of vitamin C while camel milk has only 3 times more vitamin C than cow milk. It is extremely high in vitamins and minerals and is an abundant source of proteins as well as calcium and phosphorus. I am working with donkey farms across the U.S. to try and get them to start milking. I have had great success with the children I have been working with on an international basis with the donkey milk.
