The unique medicinal properties of camel products: A review of the scientific evidence

الملخص استخدمت ألبان وأبوال الإبل كعلاجات في مناطق معينة من آسيا وأفريقيا منذ أزمنة قديمة٬ ولكن حديثا فقط أبدى العلماء اهتماما باستكشاف تلك المزاعم العلاجية لمنتجات الإبل. يشير عدد من الأدلة المخبرية وبعض الدراسات السريرية إلى أن ألبان الإبل وحدها٬ وفي بعض الحالات ممزوجة مع أبوال الإبل فعالة في علاج حالات سريرية متنوعة مثل داء السكري٬ والسرطان٬ وحساسية الأطعمة٬ ومرض التوحد٬ والتهاب الكبد الفيروسي ومجموعة أخرى من الإصابات الفيروسية والبكتيرية والطفيلية. بالإضافة إلى ذلك٬ تم اكتشاف عدد من الآثار العلاجية المحتملة لألبان وأبوال الإبل على جهاز القلب والأوعية الدموية٬ وبخاصة عملها المضاد للصفائح الدموية والمذيب للفايبرين. العرض الحالي يمثل ملخصا موجزا للأدلة العلمية المساندة لهذه الآثار العلاجية.
