Is this whole healthcare debate driving you nuts just like me? Well I’m glad you stopped by for a 101 basics on healthcare that you can do right in your own kitchen. That’s right! Organic Homemade Bone Broth is an ancestral food that is natures nutritional supplement! It not only provides a full nutrient profile filled with magnesium, calcium, phosphorous, sulfur, silicon, and 14 others, but it also contains chondroitin sulfate and glucosamine, found in pricey supplements to reduce inflammation, arthritis, and joint pain.

People are paying high prices for something they can make much better at home, control the quality of the ingredients, make more of it, all for an extremely low price and with minimal effort.
Our ancestors were in tune with nature and shared its wisdom with one another. They knew that the bones of animals were rich in necessary nutrients for maintaining optimal health. No food was ever wasted so that meant that every part of the animal was used. Ever walk into a true Chinese herb shop? It’s filled with the most curious items, many of which I have had no experience with. All kinds of animal cartilages and parts in addition to the amazing botanical library. My point is that cultures that have managed to maintain some of their ancestral food wisdom continue sharing and maintaining that today even as many have been duped out of the loop for at least a century.
No part of the animal is wasted for its nutrient content in making bone broth. That includes the obvious bones, but it also includes the ligaments, tendons, marrow, head, and feet, that would be difficult to eat otherwise. Simmering all these parts over a long period of time (24-48 hours) releases healing compounds like collagen, proline, glycine and glutamine that have the power to transform your health.
This means that you can enjoy the meat of animals you consume and then reserve the bones to make broth! I love that nothing gets wasted. Oh and by the way, once the broth is finished simmering and the bones are broken down to a brittle composition, then you’re able to grind up the bones to give to your animals as a little nutrient addition to their meals.
Proper preparation of bone broth is essential. Of course pasture raised organic animal parts are essential, as well as organic produce, but the real magic ingredients to me are raw apple cider vinegar and time. Raw apple cider vinegar acts as a solvent to break down the bones for their minerals and nutrients while the broth simmers for at least 24 and up to 48 hours, or even longer.
Out of all the Organic Homemade Bone Broths I find chicken bone broth the easiest on my digestive system. It is very mild in flavor and gentle on the gut. Though I love the richness of lamb bones, I use chicken bones as a staple to make broth in my house as it is not over powering.
Making nutrient dense organic homemade bone broth can treat leaky gut syndrome to overcome food intolerance and allergies, improve joint health, strengthens bones and teeth, reduces cellulite, boosts the immune system, promotes weight loss, and even improves mood. Yup, you heard me right, and science has backed this all up for all you skeptics out there! Too much to go into detail here but search on the web for the benefits of bone broth and visit the Weston A. Price Foundation who is the leader in educating people about the benefits of an ancestral and traditional diet. Come on make some bone broth today and put the power of health back in your own hands!
