Summary

"A first-person narrative of how a mother's attempt to heal her autistic child led to a global exploration of the hidden life of camels, their curative milk, and the cultures that rely upon these animals for their way of life"--, Provided by publisherChronicling bureaucratic roadblocks, adventure-filled detours, and her own love-fueled determination, Adams explores why camels are cherished as family members and hailed as healers. She uncovers studies of camel milk for possible treatment of autism, allergies, diabetes, and immune dysfunction, as well as ancient traditions of healing. But the most fascinating aspect of Adams's discoveries is the gentle-eyed, mischievous camels themselves-- amazingly intelligent and adaptable. -- adapted from back cover
