Good broth will resurrect the dead


A South American proverb claims "Good broth will resurrect the dead." While that's clearly an exaggeration, chicken soup has enjoyed a reputation as "Jewish penicillin" and bone broths are served to convalescents all over the world. In this presentation,

Dr. Daniel in the youtube video below reviews the science that supports consuming bone broth for healthy bones, joints, skin, digestion, immunity and emotional stability.

She discusses the 19th and early 20th century studies on gelatin, as well as recent investigations into the "conditionally essential" amino acids proline, glycine and glutamine and "the essential sugars" N-Acetylglucosamine and N-Acetylgalactosamine.

Finally, she will report on Dr. John F. Prudden's clinical trials healing osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, Crohn's, and even cancer with cartilage.

In short, much science supports the ancestral wisdom of consuming bone broth.

***

Gotthoffer in Gelatin in Nutrition reported cases from late 19th century and early 20th century in which gelatin helped heal TB, a disease caused by Mycobacterium Tuberculosis

Richard Harris Sam Swinea The ideal time of day for getting Vit-D via the sun is 10am-2pm and your latitude may make the time window narrower as well as time of the year.

Richard Harris I take 10,000 IU Vit-D3 daily, and last tested mine was 73.1 ng/ml
I work in IT so I'm inside most of the day.

Fredrik Inngjerdingen ForsÃ¥ In parts of the northern hemisphere, you will get little to no vitamin D from the sun during most of winter. Supplementation is the best way to maintain healthy levels. 

Sure, if you have access to the sun all year, that's great - you probably don't n
eed to supplement. In Norway not supplementing during winter will cause your levels to drop, and you can't really balance it out from a diet that doesn't have supplementation in it.

Emily Christiansen Shufeldt No need to be so rude to Amy Van Oostende. She was expressing her opinion. There are other ways to get vit D besides the sun; pastured lard, fish eggs, just some examples. Some how my family survived in northern Norway without needing supplements.

Ann Margaret Richard Harris Don't remember Stefansson mentioning much about the Inuit eating many polar bears in his books? The point here is that its been proven over and over that sufficient Vit D can come from the diet and the need for sunshine is exaggerated otherwise northern peoples would have died out a long time ago.

Fredrik Inngjerdingen ForsÃ¥ "CONCLUSIONS:
Our preliminary findings indicate it is possible that magnesium intake alone or its interaction with vitamin D intake may contribute to vitamin D status. The associations between serum 25(OH)D and risk of mortality may be modified by the 
intake level of magnesium. Future studies, including cohort studies and clinical trials, are necessary to confirm the findings."

Nothing here really says that supplementing with vitamin D is a bad thing? This is mostly related to high doses of magnesium, which is another thing entirely.

Stephanie Sullivan Tackett When I tested very low, that's the dose my doctor put me on for about 6 weeks then had me taper down.

Fredrik Inngjerdingen ForsÃ¥ If your levels are low ( lower than 100), 10k iu a day will get rid of the deficit, and then you can maintain with 10k every second or third day, after a couple of weeks, or so. Get tested regularly, and stop when you reach a satisfying level (100-150nmol).

I was down to 30nmol, took ~45k a day for a week, and boom, up to ~150. Helped get rid of some fatigue symptoms. Also, supplement with k2 for improved efficiency.
