Camel Milk FAQs

SHOULD CAMEL MILK BE PASTEURIZED?

Absolutely! Camel excrement can easily splash onto their udders contaminating them with E-coli, salmonella and other pathogenic bacteria. Dairy products should be pasteurized to kill these pathogens especially when dealing with children, seniors or those with weak immune systems. There are good (Flash) and bad (Slow) pasteurization methods.  We use the optimal flash (15 second) pasteurization, which has shown in studies not to denature the milk and it’s health properties. The flash pasteurization method is  even currently used by colostrum nutraceutical companies because it’s proven to protect the milks vital nutrients and properties. The less expensive and slow 30-minute pasteurization process takes a long time to heat to the required temperature. During this interval, bacteria grow in the milk and eat its health properties, rendering the product ineffective.

Camel milk has a multitude of powerful properties that boost your body’s natural detoxing system. This can start a flushing process for the first few days as the body tries to eliminate unwanted toxins. A “Herx” reaction is the common term for “feeling worse before you get better.”. So don’t feel discouraged or worried if you have some minor changes in bowel movements or energy levels; the body is trying to “restart” natural processes. If symptoms persist for longer than 3 days or they worsen, stop immediately and contact your health practitioner. Always use your own judgement as everyone is different!
