Family gets into dairy business after claiming donkey milk saved daughter's life

From promises of beautiful skin to allergy relief and healthier digestion, it all comes from the prized producers at the Oklahoma Donkey Dairy. The Traywick family, from Luther, started the journey four years ago when their daughter, Hannah, started getting sick with no explanation. "One of the girls was sick. She actually got strep throat," Saundra Traywick said. "All of a sudden, she woke up with OCD (obsessive compulsive disorder), all kinds of behavior things that had never been an issue."At just 6 years old, Hannah was diagnosed with pediatric autoimmune neuropsychiatric disorders associated with streptococcal infections, or PANDAS."We did antibiotics. I'm not telling anybody not to," Traywick said. "We did three weeks of antibiotics for the strep throat, and then I was like, 'We've got to find alternatives for this.'"The Traywicks turned to a naturopath, who recommended using donkey milk."Within 24 hours, she was overcoming things that she hadn't been able to do since she'd gotten sick month and months before," Traywick said.The Traywicks aren't alone."Donkey milk is an age-old natural product used in cosmetic and healthy beverages since ancient times," Pierluigi Orunesu said.Orunesu, the Switzerland-based founder of a donkey milk company called Eurolactis, explained how donkey milk works."Donkey milk is the closest milk to human breast milk. That is a fact," Orunesu said. "It's a fact that nobody can contest in terms of protein."Orunesu sells donkey milk and is an advocate for its healing properties.
