RE: Re: Camel milk??

[Guest guest]

I should think the benefits of drinking camel milk are similar to those derived

from A2 milk

Subject: Re: Camel milk??

I would almost bet a year of my husband's salary that Dr. G has never even

*thought* about camel milk because I'm pretty sure

it's not available in the West...but given that study, and the fact that goat

and sheep milk are both allowed, I would bet he would allow it. Is your child a

patient of Dr. G? If so, you might want to show him that study.

HTH,
