The new snake oil

I'm making bone broth. (AKA stock.)

No, I don't think it will magically cure my various health issues. At this point, I don't think anything will really cure the health issues*, and that what I'm working toward is a (much!) better quality of remission and management. But I've read good things about it, good and reasonable things about it. And as an experiment, it's not the most difficult thing I could do. So. There's a bunch of beef marrow bones simmering away.




*Lyme, Babesia, multi-chemical sensitivity, and a host of things that are pretty much lumped under the "could be fibromialgia" label. Oh, and migraines. Let me tell you, the amount of meds and supplements I take daily is astonishing. And yes, I want a fancy leech jar to hold all the bottles.

Good nutrition helps a lot, and that includes keeping your iron up, which marrow is great for. Potassium and protein are also helpful for chronic autoimmune issues.

Migraines frequently go along (along with a bunch of other things) with fibro. IBS is another frequent flyer. Hopefully the chronic illness fairy won't visit you with that one.

Heh, I feel you. That was touted as one of the things that helped with endometriosis. I never tried it, but I've heard various foodies say that you really can't beat bone broth when it comes to flavoring soups and things, so I'll try it at some point!
