The diagnosis of milk allergy differs widely due to the multiplicity and degrees of symptoms, and can be achieved by skin or blood tests. Cow milk contains more than 20 proteins (allergens), that can cause allergic reactions. Casein fractions and β-lactoglobulin are the most common cow milk allergens. Human milk is free of β-lg, similar to camel milk. On the contrary, β-lg is a major whey protein in cow, buffalo, sheep, goat, mare and donkey milk...

Camel milk contained less protein, fat and lactose than bovine milk, which is in agreement with literature data. Spray-drying of raw whole camel milk did not cause noticeable damage to its protein fraction and camel milk powder had a higher solubility than powder prepared from bovine milk. Characteristics of caseins and whey proteins in camel milk differed significantly from those in bovine milk, both in terms of molecular mass and hydrophobicity. The whey protein β-lactoglobulin, which is the main allergen in bovine milk, could not be detected in camel milk. .......

Camels’ immune system is stronger than that of humans’ and the small immunoglobulins pass from the camel milk into the human blood. As immunoglobulins are found in camel milk throughout lactation, drinking milk will provide a ‘tool’ for combating autoimmune diseases by rehabilitating the immune system rather than is depression. NOTE: Camel milk creams have a healing effect on skin autoimmune diseases.
