The good ole Chicken Broth (homemade) we always drink when sick. I always knew the old fashioned remedy is something good for your body!

While chicken broth may be helpful I don't think it is the same thing as boiling down a large (healthy) cow bone and getting all that marrow.

We roast the marrow and eat it out of the bone (with salt) before it goes in the stock pot. Best thing to remineralise teeth too. I get many pieces and reuse (freeze) them until the bone becomes soft enough to crumble at the touch. Always makes me think of the children's nursery rhyme 'Fi fi fo fum, [...] Be he alive or be he dead I'll grind his bones to make my bread.' By the time the bone is properly spent it's like flour.

Bone roasted for some time, marrow scoooped out, bone boiled down in pot for broth? Ok i like your recipe. How long for roasting?

Expand full comment

It takes about twelve to fifteen minutes with smaller osso bucco-sized bones, sometimes twenty if big pieces. Some butchers will slice bones lengthwise which would take a good twenty five minutes, and once that's done and eaten, roast potatoes (45mins) and garlic (20 mins) in the residual fat, they're incredible. Or just save it for later, idk.

I salt beforehand which melts in to the fat... which hits the spot in the brain that chemical engineers replicate in the lab for cheap (slow poison) Dorito flavourings etc..

Bone broth is good whatever. Bone broth doesn't have to be boiled bone water! Proper soups are based on bone stock, we always use the bones for stock for the next meal. The poor modern excuse for 'soup' is nothing more than grain thickened flavoured water. - Slop. Bones are good.

Love this! I just set a pot of bones on the stove 15 minutes ago to start extracting all the goodness. What a nice article to open. Thank you for this Friday hope.

Thanks for this very informative article. Would collagen have similar benefits to bone broth?

Expand full comment

Collagen literally translates to ‘gene glue’ and is a protein, but broth has more minerals plus the collagen. I use collagen in hot chocolate for example and broth as a meal substitute, and to cook the children’s rice etc. Similar benefits, but not the same.

Great stuff here, Walter.... as usual. So, I’m drinking green tee, diluted methylene blue, Kumbucha and now, bone broth. Just one question: do you have a financial interest in Depends(tm)?

Judy says to stay away from green tea because it pushes wrong cytokine. I agree with her.

Is this true for Yerba mate as well? In curious as I drink mate every day.

It was my outside observation that mate was addictive before i ever drank it. I like mate and it seems to be way more tolerable to me than green tea and provides better energy than from coffee. And I don't think it's addictive and I can't remember if it ever gave me a headache.

Could you point me where to read about this? I drink matcha every day...

I wish I could. I'm reading it out of my notebook and I can tell that it was from around April 2020. It was a presentation that I guess I watched on You tube but didn't record the title.
