What do customers say?
Happy Mom: “My ASD son is almost done with his first batch of camel’s milk. It’s been the best three weeks for him in a long time – he normally has self-injurious behaviors, but they have been really minimized. I will be ordering more frozen milk!”
Mom E: “They are great to do business with.”
Mom L: “I am so happy! My daughter is actually doing things when asked, starting to talk more, naming letter and responding to my commands. OMG, I never thought I would see this.”
Mom T: “My son (age 3) drinks 1.5 to 3 ounces a day. After a month and a half on camel milk he has gained 1.5 pounds and 3/4″ in height! He went from 3rd percentile in weight (been that low for a long, long time) to 18th percentile! In height he has grown from 25th percentile to 40th percentile. His stools have had very little undigested food and have been a good texture – constipation has improved as well. We plan to keep on giving him camel’s milk!”
Mom K: “My son started drinking camel milk a little over 2 months ago. He was verbal but his social language skills were almost completely prompt-dependent. Within a couple of weeks we started noticing a change in his expressive language, and he became much more interested in social conversation! We changed nothing else during this time–camel milk has been a ‘wow’ for us! His teacher said his language skills have improved, that he’s making and retaining good friendships, and how pleased they are with his progress!”
Mom C: “Day 3 of camel milk and seeing some good things such as more affectionate, less non-compliance, demonstrating empathy, and initiating play!! Don’t know why I didn’t do this sooner!!”
Mom S: “I have gestational diabetes and cow’s dairy sends my numbers through the roof, but camel’s milk keeps me in normal range for long periods, like overnight. It’s helping my son and me both!”
Mom G: “Blessings to you and your lovely family for all you do to help us help our sick children.”
Things to keep in mind
When people first drink camel milk, they might feel nothing unusual, but some report feeling more energy or improved mood.
When children with autism first drink camel milk, some parents say the child feels and functions better very quickly (overnight or a few days for some, but not for all). A few parents report initial increased irritability and extra energy. There are no reported major negative side effects, and any negative effects are reported to disappear when the amount is lowered or the children adjust to the milk. We advise that all changes to your child’s diet should be carried out under the care and supervision of a doctor specializing in autism spectrum disorders.
