> Hi Bee, In your file, How to Make Calcium Using Eggshells, you have

a recipe to make calcium citrate, that takes 3 hours. Is this to be

made each time you want to take it? Or can one increase the amounts,

and make it ahead and store it in the refrigerator?

==>I think it would be okay to make up 2-3 days ahead of time, but

after 3 hours cover it and put it in the fridge, otherwise it will

dry out. Making more than 3 days at a time " may " cause a problem

because I read that it can go bad, especially using lemon juice. But

you can also use a good unfiltered unpasteurized vinegar like Eden's

or Bragg's which I found out will break down the eggshell better than

lemon juice. I'll also experiment this week making up 3 days at a

time using vinegar and lemon and let you know how it goes.

> You have so many neat ideas for us to try. I am very encouraged. :-)

==>I'm glad you are taking advantage of them Debbie. I'm finding

that I can get more calcium taking the eggshell calcium citrate as

opposed to pills - yesterday I had two doses at 400 mgs. each.

That's the most calcium I've been able to take without getting

adverse symptoms. I think it is because it contains other natural

nutrients and minerals which makes the calcium more bioavailable.

==>As far as neat ideas, I've only gotten started. lol! Did you

check out my " Beauty is More Than Skin Deep " File? I wrote that many

years ago, and gave it out to family and friends for Christmas. I

also have written a Laundry & Fabric Care article, and Handy Tips,

which I haven't posted. If you are interested in them email me at

beewilder@... and I'll send them to you.

Luv, Bee
