Tara,
P.S. To bring you back to earth after that illuminating video, watch this one too. (30 secs)

It is done on the ignorant (not knowing) and done using fear.

note, that is my clarification in square brackets.

Hi, I publish a magazine on local foods based in southeastern Massachusetts. I am interested in re-printing your recipe for powered eggshells in my January Issue. Can you please contact me with with any pertinent details.
Thank you
Laurie

Just a note about the magnesium:
A good form of magnesium to take along with the egg shells is Natural Calm by Peter Gillham’s
It is powdered and should be taken at night before bedtime. 3 tsp. mixed with hot water is
615 mg magnesium citrate. You can get it on the webpage of http://www.livingnutritionals.com
I always get th original flavor but they do have in different flavors.

Just wondering if taking the crushed eggshell powder would help rid the body of any parasites? I thought I read that somewhere.

Dear Betty,
I’ve made eggshell calcium using apple cider vinegar, and I preferred the taste of lemon juice instead. After allowing the acid (lemon juice or ACV) to work on the eggshell, it won’t mix in liquids. Instead it settles to the bottom and has to be dug out with a spoon. It may be easier to take when mixed with a thick substance, like yogurt or mashed vegetables. I found it easier to take it directly from a spoon, followed by swallows of water. If you are okay with the taste of ACV it will do the same thing as lemon juice. You use the same quantities as lemon juice.

The best in health, Bee

I had read somewhere that apple cider vinegar would do the same thing that you post the lemon juice would do and I was looking to see if I could find that info on the web. I was pleasantly surprised to find your article and all the responses that went with it. I do have a huge lemon tree that was suppose to be a dwarf but I do not have lemons all year long so I wanted to try and use the ACV instead. Now I am wondering if using it for the same amounts and time that you use the lemon juice will work if I cannot find the exact recipe that I was looking for.

Thanks for information. But regarding shell strength between cage eggs & free range egg shells, I would like to note that as chickens get older, they seem to produce weaker shells. I have some 3 year old hens, still laying (tho not every day like they used do), and fairly often their eggshells are somewhat weak compared to when they were young. They are outdoors, have access to grit & calcium & good food & whatnot, but nevertheless some of the shells are weak. I intend to go on a backyard chicken flock forum to inquire further about this, and will let you know what more experienced chook-ers think. That is interesting to note that salmonella is generally self-limiting.

Dear Caroline,
I agree with you that you shouldn’t be afraid of germs, bacteria, bugs, etc. According to the “Germ Theory of Disease” we can all “catch” them ,with no qualification as to the body’s condition/health status. The fact is not everyone “catches” them, even when most people around them are sick. So, there must be some other factor, other than just “catching them.”

If we could all “catch” them we would ALL have ALL of the bugs ALL of the time, including animcals, since they are everywhere! Wouldn’t that have wiped out life on Earth eons ago?

Healthy people do not get sick, except to clear out toxins, or because of stress, emotional upsets, etc. We can’t expect to be healthy if we do not follow Nature’s Law regarding health. Dr. Weston A. Price’s proved that in his book Nutrition and Physical Degeneration. He also proved that proper nutrition changes DNA/genes, so even heredity doesn’t count.

The best in health,
Bee Wilder

Here’s a link to an interesting Mercola site about the safety of raw eggs, how to assess whether your egg is safe, and includes information on the fact that salmonella is generally a self limiting infection in the majority of people. Only if it enters the blood stream is it generally life threatening.(http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2002/11/13/eggs-part-two.aspx).
Salmonella is able to penetrate egg shells and infect the egg contents - so in theory, washing the shell won’t protect you if the egg is infected. Compare the difference in shell strength between a cage egg and a free range egg shell and you’ll understand why cage eggs are much more likely to be infected with salmonella. The egg industry itself acknowledges that salmonella is much more prevalent in layer flocks.
