Over a dozen health benefits from "Jewish penicillin" AKA bone broth along with supporting articles & Free Broth+Soup Course!

The big question is why so many early studies showing the healing power of gelatin have languished in obscurity. The easy explanation is that after the 1930s, pharmaceutical drugs were widely prescribed for ills that were once healed with gelatin."

This is critically important good news:
"Gelatin’s traditional reputation as a health restorer has hinged primarily on its ability to soothe the GI tract. 'Gelatin lines the mucous membrane of the intestinal tract and guards against further injurious action on the part of the ingesta,' wrote Erich Cohn of the Medical Polyclinic of the University of Bonn back in 1905. Cohn recommended gelatin to people with 'intestinal catarrh'--an inflammation of the mucus membrane now called irritable bowel syndrome. Interestingly, the type of gelatin used in follow-up experiments done on people with even more serious intestinal diseases was specified as a 'concentrated calves foot broth.' (37) This form of gelatin would have been rich in cartilage and bone and presumably provide a better amino acid profile than straight collagen."
Also at Weston A. Price Foundation:
"Pottenger also pioneered the use of gelatin-rich meat bone broth for the treatment of disease and the maintenance of good health. His seminal article 'Hydrophilic Colloid Diet' stated the case for traditional stock, rich in minerals and hydrophilic gelatin, as an aid to digestion and a source of minerals in easily assimilated form. He often stated that the stock pot was the most important piece of kitchen equipment a family could own."

Sally Fallon in Nourishing Traditions says: "... Another technique found universally in ethnic cuisines is the use of bone broths, rich in gelatin as well as in calcium and other minerals. The archives of our medical libraries contain many studies on the beneficial effects of gelatin taken on a daily or frequent basis, but these studies are ignored even as traditional methods for making rich stocks are forgotten."
The Benefits of Bone Broth
by Lance Roll
Hippocrates stated "Let your food be your medicine and let your medicine be your food." Bone broth, as used throughout history, has been affectionately known as "Jewish penicillin." Bone broth is still made and ingested today by people around the globe. The Flavor Chef's bone broth is cooked over a 24-hour period for maximum mineral extraction and infused with love. This mineral rich liquid is made by simmering the bones of free range chicken, including feet, traditional vegetables, as well as herbs, and a small amount of raw apple cider vinegar, all in Artesian well water to produce a delicious elixir.
A summary of The Benefits of Bone Broth are listed here:
1. Promotes healing: Bone broths have been used successfully in treating gastro-intestinal disorders, including hyper-acidity, colitis, Crohn's disease, and infant diarrhea.
2. Digestive aid: Aids in the digestibility of grains, beans, legumes, vegetables and meats and is hydrophilic in nature
3. Macro minerals: Contains highly absorbable forms of the calcium, magnesium, potassium, phosphorus, sulfur and fluoride as well as trace minerals
4. Gelatin and Collagen: rich in both; promoting bone and joint healing in addition to supporting digestion
5. Protein: adds easily digestible protein to your diet
6. Amino acids: Glycine, proline, hydroxyproline, and lysine are formed, which is important to detoxification and amino acid production in the body
7. Joint support: Glucosamine, chondroitin sulfate, and hyaluronic acid are produced and present for additional muscle and joint support
8. Immune system: Promotes the assimilation of vitamins and minerals and thus supports the immune system
9. Delicious and nutritious: use as soup, cooking liquid, sauce or as a tea.
10. Synergy: Finally by initially healing the GI tract, broth creates an environment for all of the nutrients being taken in, whether by food or supplementation, to increase their bio-availability to your body.

"... bone broths ... are broths that are made from boiling bones. Bones are a lot more than just calcium. They contain a lot of the connective tissue protein collagen. This is what gives bones their strength in a certain way.
You can see a demonstration of this by bending chicken bones
after they have boiled a couple of hours or so. If they are
still hard to break, and they snap when they break, then they haven't boiled long enough. If they bend easily and kinda splinter apart, then they have boiled long enough.
What has happened is that the collagen has been completely
cooked out of them. They have lost the ingredient in them that holds the calcium together, the collagen.
Now the collagen is in the broth and ready to be consumed. This is really amazing stuff that can help heal new and old injuries. Not only that, but it tastes really good and can be used in many different recipes.
So, don't just throw those chicken bones away anymore, put them in the freezer and make some incredibly nutritious and tasty stock with them later. It is important to find good recipe and the right technique -- you don't want to boil the bones too hard or your stock will be brown instead of a beautiful and appetizing golden color, and a few added vegetables adds more flavor and nutrients."
"... I recently had a revelatory moment when I realized how incredibly easy and double tasking it was to make homemade soup stock by starting with the leftover carcass from a roast chicken. Now my chickens have two lives. First, they are roasted to perfection in the oven and served as a nourishing main dish. Then, their bones are used to make a perfect stock.
But the bones are not the only important and part of the carcass, the cartilage is also key. In fact, during the slow simmering process, it is the chicken cartilage, that flexible and plastic-like white stuff along the breast bone and in the joints, which becomes part of the broth. This process is the primary factor in whether the stock will set up or not. Adding a few chicken feet to the pot will also produce a more gelatinous stock.
Good thick chicken stock is full of cartilage-building proteins and amino acids we all need. Commercial chicken stock, even organic, is just no replacement.":

"Broth, made from the bones of animals, has been consumed as a source of nourishment for humankind throughout the ages. It is a traditional remedy across cultures for the sick and weak. A classic folk treatment for colds and flu, it has also been used historically for ailments that affect connective tissues such as the gastrointestinal tract, the joints, the skin, the lungs, the muscles and the blood. Broth has fallen out of favor in most households today, probably due to the increased pace of life that has reduced home cooking in general. Far from being old-fashioned, broth (or stock) continues to be a staple in professional and gourmet cuisine, due to its unsurpassed flavor and body. It serves as the base for many recipes including soup, sauces and gravy. Broth is a valuable food and a valuable medicine, much too valuable to be forgotten or discounted in our modern times with our busy ways and jaded attitudes."

"Africans customarily cook calves feet to make broth for soups and stews. Often dried fish and shrimp are added to these stews, along with meat, peanuts and vegetables. Pieces of gristly calves foot go into the pot along with everything else and are eaten with relish. American are just beginning to discover the health benefits of beef cartilage; African have enjoyed such benefits for centuries.":

Stronger Nails!
I have just checked my nails for strength and they are absolutely stronger now than I have known them! The reason is I have been consistently drinking a ladle full (or two three) of the best bone broth in my area that just happens to be made by yours truly! I am most blessed to have an excellent source of local grass-fed bones by way of Hani's Mideast Market! In fact a friend and I will be going to the ranch that supplies Hani and when we do I am sure we will have a report to share here at the Chef Jem Blog!

"... from see-through broths to chunky chowders, soup is a
superior delivery service for the breathe-easy nutrients that restore the integrity of the respiratory system (lungs, sinuses, throat). All soups help thin the mucus in the bronchial tube, but some are especially formulated to ease or even reverse a cold by supplying the key nutrients that help mobilize the killer white blood cells that a virus
depresses or incapacitates. In each bowl, you get vitamin C (plus bio-flavonoids), which can reduce cold symptoms up to 30 percent; vitamin A, in the form of beta-carotene, to strengthen and safeguard the mucous membrane; zinc, which directly attacks the rhino-viruses in the tissues of the throat and the mouth; amino acids, which provide protein for healing; and allium, the sulphurous detoxifying compound
found in garlic and onions.
What’s the dosage for these soups
when you’re sick? It’s up to you. Depending on the stability of your stomach, try ... three or more mugs or glasses ...":
