Camels （Camelu sdromedarius） have very small and active antibodies, nanaobodies. Their special properties are being used by the USA Department of Homeland Security as bio-receptors to determine which substance could be used in a biological warfare attack. The antibodies are part of the ＂protective proteins＂ in camel milk. These include potent antibacterial, antiviral and antifungal properties. Camel milk antibodies are, in fact, ＂nanobodies＂. They are not destroyed in their passage through the stomach. These nanobodies are responsible for data concerning the use of camel milk in autoimmune diseases. Various diseases treated with camel milk are presented, as is the mode of action. The effect of pasteurization on activity of camel milk is presented as a way to overcome the need for heat. This is accomplished by presenting ＂pathogen-free＂ camel milk. The antibodies are part of the ＂protective proteins＂ in camel milk.

Due to the big victory in the antimalarial battle,the 2015 Nobel Prize goes to the discoverer of artemisininbased therapy for malaria. Beyond antimalaria, artemisinin and its derivatives are also being investigated in diseases like schistosomiasis, viral infection, cancers and inflammation. Over the past decades, the anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory effects of artemisinin drugs have been comprehensively studied. In this article, we will briefly describe the development of artemisinin drugs, especially novel artemisinin derivatives, in the treatment of autoimmune diseases.展开更多
