How wonderful to have elderberries growing on your land! <br /><br />Egg shells are high in Calcium, Magnesium, Phosphorus, Glycine, Gelatin, Collagen, and Other trace minerals. And adding vinegar helps draw out the minerals from the shells and bones. Here's the recipe - <br /> <br />Chicken Stock<br />1 Whole free-range chicken or 2 to 3 lbs of chicken parts, such as necks, backs, breastbones and wings<br />2-4 Chicken feet, (optional)<br />4 Free-range or organically grown egg shells (cleaned)<br />4 Quarts cold filtered water<br />2 tbsp vinegar<br />2 Carrots peeled and chopped, if organic do not peel<br />3 Celery stalks chopped<br />4 Whole garlic cloves<br />1 Onion chopped <br />1 tsp pepper corns<br />1 Bunch parsley<br />Bring all to a boil, reduce heat, cover, and simmer for at least 6 hours or as long as 48 hours.

I'm very curious:-) my mother used to always switch out our toothbrushes for new ones after we've been sick. It's a practice I still do for myself and now my own children. Kind of the thinking you have about the sheets. You don't want to reinfect yourself. I've been enjoying your blog. The elderberry link was interesting because I suspect we have them growing wild on our property but I never knew what to do with them. (A UPS driver once pointed them out to me while dropping off a package one day. I'm so clueless, hahaha!) :-)Courtneynoreply@blogger.com
