Guest guest Posted September 30, 2005 Report Share Posted September 30, 2005 Homemade bone broths. They not only contain calcium but other important minerals and nutrients, as well as gelatin that is excellent for healing the gut. The best info. on how to make them is in the cookbook " Nourishing Traditions " . You soak the bones first with a bit of vinegar to draw out the nutrients. One of the things that drew me to SCD was the idea, " Let food be your medicine. " I firmly belive the natural food sources of nutrients are many times more powerful than supplements because the body is designed to absorb whole foods... vitamins and minerals with co- factors. Now, if only I can get my 2 year old to slurp them down, LOL. Currently I drown shredded beef/lamb/chicken in their respective broths and that's the only way he will eat it. They do make the meat moist and tasty. I reduce the broths by boiling so the minerals are more concentrated, then freeze as ice cubes. The joy of seeing your homemade broth gel up really firm in the frig. is incredible! (means there's lots of gelatin) Jane > > > Does anyone know of good sources of calcium that aren't a)dairy (of any > sort) or b)supplement. > > Thanks in advance! > > > > Kelli SCD 5/28/05 > > Kai (3 and ASD) SCD 5/28/05 > > Tatum (1 and NT) SCD 5/28/05 and still nursing > > > > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
