I would rather get the collagen injected than go for a bone broth. I know a friend of mine who got Botox. Well, she was aged than me when she got it. But I look aged now after a couple of years and she’s still the same. I wonder how long the effect of collagen lasts in a person? Or does this completely depend on the surgeon? She got it from Dr Emad M. Guirguis of Lakeview Surgery Centre(lakeviewsurgery.com) and with positive outcomes. This brings in me a renowned spirit of optimism.

Stephen Richards Are any Chicken-Bone drinks or Chicken-Bone food supplements available anywhere? If so, where? Kimberly Does anyone know what the food combining rules are for bone broth? Evangeline Hello to the vegetarians asking for an alternative. In this case there is no alternative to healing your gut. I too am a natural born vegetarian - I refused meat as soon as I understood where it was from, aged 3, but sometimes we have to putaside our preferences and allow the importance of healing and our health to take precedence. Use the protocol for healing and make peace with the fact that organic farm-raised chickens live a happy life, allowed to roam free and are killed humanely. You can always return to a vegetarian way of life once you have reclaimed your health. What is more important than your health? Nothing, without it, you have very little and are unable to contribute much to society and pursuing your right to be happy whilst unwell is very, very difficult. Good luck everyone, a happy stomach is a happy mind - it seems the stomach is almost as intelligent as the brain. So put aside your vegetarianism just this one time, it will take 6 months tops of drinking bone broth - alongside slippery elm and staying away from alcohol and other irritants. You CAN do this. You HAVE to. mariebdugas@gmail.com Need help with bone making soups!!! MERRY XMAS....I need to lose50lbs and to seal my gut!!!

How can I make broth with most amount of pre- or probiotics -- I would start with a tablespoon at a time and increase as tolerated. Josee For those of you who are choosing to avoid meat, and are having trouble finding alternative, did you ever consider why that is? The answer is simple. Humans are not supposed to be vegetarian. If that were the case, our teeth wouldn't be as they are. The reality is that today's diet has too much meat in it. There are plentiful studies out there to show that. A fantastic article was published by New Scientist - a very reputable scientific mag. The study was clear. The solution to good nutrition was not in vegetarian diet. Even if it was, the problems that this would generate just to produce such foods would be too much if everyone were to become vegetarian. The study pointed very clearly to theomnivores that we are BUT! with a greatly reduced intake of meat. I have chosen such approach intuitively for my entire life. It works and it much more affordable than being vegetarians and buying supplements which are nothing but processed foods. Besides, if everyone ate less meat, it would be totally a green thing to do! *smiles* val Hi, good information here thanks. I live in Alaska and was wondering was the moose and caribou bones good to make broth with> Gustavo For a different angle onn this concept..... try this, cut the goat bones for example... into 1/2 inch segments approximately. Crush them in a stone grinding bowl with a mortar until bones are completely fractured. Ive also used a steel base, a PVC tube and a steel ram which works much better...... but anyways.... you throw this into a high powered vitamix blender or equivalent, with some Ice and water .... the ice helps create an abrasive slurry as well aas keeping the bones completely cold.. ( in my technique i use frozenbones that are never cooked ) What you end up with is a very absorbable mineral rich bone milk.. which you can strain to the texture you prefer. You simlpy drink this..... and it is not so bad. leftover larger bone particles and sinew can be refrozen for the next mix. Scott Edwards How much should you eat? Kim I put my thanksgiving turkey bones in the crock pot on low, the crock pot works out very well no fuss. Wanted to make it flavorful & ready to use so I put carrots, celery, onions, garlic & bay leaves in there along with some sea salt & splash of cider vinegar. It smells delicious so far, going to go about 18 hours total. thomas fuller all you vegetarians out there...your destroying your health...a must read ' the libertarian diet' by Kevin Brown.... that's all I can say, it will restore your health and open your eyes to the misinformation we all been told over the last forty years. Suhas As a vegeterian, I have been also looking for vegeterian equivalent - The bad news is thatthere is no direct vegeterian source of collagen, unless you are OK with a GM plant such as this However, there are foods which encourage collagen production within the system, esentially a combination of proteins, minerals and vitamin C. So we probably should focus on these foods as part of our daily diet. I am going to try it out and let you know. The good news is that even if we take in collagen directly, it does not get absorbed as is, but breaks down further again into its constituent amino acids. So we may not be in too much of a disadvantage vis-a-vis non-vegeterians, me thinks. Any further thoughts would be welcome. Douggy Great stuff! I got a Fat GrassfedBeef Knuckle Bone simmering downstairs right now. My first Bone Broth! I suspect I have leaky gut, or some similar manifestation, and anticipate the Love the broth has to offer! Blessings. Cheryl When I try to fast I get migraines so I've been searching for a way to fast that keeps my blood sugar from getting so low that I geta migraine and I think this may work.

Thanks Catherine shawn Bobby..I get my bones from Novi ranch out here in southern california they are 100% grass fed no antibiotics or hormones ... from start to finish.... All you have to do is go online and find a free range ranch near your . Make sure they are a trusted source and you want to have the bones cut so the marrow is exposed, the knuckles are full of red blood cells and the bones/shaft are full of white blood cells.. There is a company called Apex energetics that has a plant based formula its called Repairvite (K60) and GI-synergy (K64) you need to find a holistic health partitioner who carries it or maybe you can call the company .. But animals fats are key to repairing the damaged gut lining..

I have been making various homemade stocks for many years and do realize the longer simmering time (9+ hours) produces a tastier stock. I've never tried cooking more than 12 hours, but will give 48 hours a try. Although filtered / spring water is best, if your water source is chlorinated just let it sit on your counter for 15-30 minutes to allow the gases to evaporate. But I have always wondered as with other cooked foods (being a 50/50 raw foodist), if we cook the "soul" out of the bones, doesn't thatalso kill all the benefits (minerals/nutrients/enzymes, etc.) out of the bones? Denise Please e-mail me any vegetarian alternatives; this could include eggs and raw goat milk. I long to find healing vegetarian foods. Ravenelvenlady Indeed, I second durga's question: Is there a vegetarian/vegan alternative please? durga Hi, For vegetarions is there any alternative? Soli It's like a page you'd find in Nourishing Traditions. Wonderful to see here! How would bone broth qualify under the food combining rules? Would it automatically be meat and thus not to be paired with starches? Shawn Just to confirm the fat on top of the jars has some of the most healing properties in it, just use it like oil or butter and heat it in a skillet and sauté your vegetables with it. If you have leaky gut it will seal the damaged intestinal lining. I have been doing this bone broth for 2 weeks all day and night and eating the marrow and the fat. For the first time in 27 years I am not suffering from acnebreakouts or severe food allergies, I am finally eating foods that I could never tolerate!!!! I have spent hundreds of thousands of dollars in all these years trying to find a cure. Now... The Body ecology diet can work for me finally!!!! Here is how I make my broth Get a huge stock pot and put 8-10 ponds of bones in it, fill with cold filtered water and pour a cup of organic fresh squeezed lemons or apple cider vinegar let sit for 45 min. Then fill stockpot with water leaving a couple inches from top so it won’t boil over. Bring to a boil and reduce to simmer and your favorite veggies like garlic, onions, parsley, cilantro, broccoli, cauliflower and so on. Let simmer as low as possible without the flame going out for 48-72 hours the longer the more medicinal it will be. Pull the bones out when finished, strain into mason jars and save the marrow and the fat and eat them with your meals and cultured veggies, it will heal your lining twice as fast. When the jars cool off put them in thefridge, the marrow and broth will keep in the fridge for seven days and in the freezer for months. If you freeze some make sure you leave 2 inches of space from the top of the jars so they don't explode. I am drinking a 1-2 quarts a day by itself or with meals you can take your probiotics with it too. I am on a strict diet with no grains so the healing process can work much quicker and the good intestinal flora can flourish over the bad bacteria. You can obtain all this info from the Gaps diet.com or order this book... Gut and Psychology Syndrome by DR. Natasha Campbell-McBride MD and Internal bliss, which are a grain free, sugar free, lactose free cookbook. The Body Ecology diet will work in perfect symmetry with this diet.

I encourage my patients and clients at my Skin and Wellness Spa (after much research for myself, as well) to do this for their various skin conditions which mostly correlate with a dysfunctional digestive system.
