In regards to the natural immunity of camels anyone who has basic knowledge in microbiology understands that antibodies are specialized cells in our bodies that attack foreign bodies and kills the invading disease or any other foreign object. Currently we are not aware that antibodies come in smaller packages than others that can penetrate deep into human tissue and cells, nor does this mean camel urine has antibodies. In fact antibodies generally don't show up in urine unless the host is fighting an infection. In that case camel urine should not be prescribed as medicine.
In regard to the natural immunity of camels, anyone who has basic knowledge of microbiology understands that antibodies are specialized cells that attack and destroy invading microorganisms and other foreign objects. At present, we are not aware that some antibodies come in smaller packages than others or these smaller antibodies  can penetrate deep into human tissue and cells. Moreover, camel urine does not contain any antibodies unless the animal is fighting an infection. In that case, the camel urine could not only sicken a person but allow a pathogen to cross the species barrier and cause a major epidemic. In fact, the drinking of camel urine by Muslims is the likely origin of Middle East Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus (MERS).{{Cite web|url=http://www.usnews.com/news/articles/2015/06/10/stop-drinking-camel-urine-world-health-organization-says |title= |publisher= |author= |date= |archiveurl= |deadurl=no}}
