Ever since starting the Wahls Protocol Paleo Plus, I've been making chicken bone broth. I usually cook up/simmer/boil some chicken, save the bones and simmer then with water and vinegar (1 T) in the crockpot. Recipe says 2-48 hours. Then add the bay leaf and whatever veggies are desired and simmer for a couple more hours (I simmered for another day). When it cools, pour it into a glass jar. I also take the extra and pour it into freezer bags. Lay them on a cookie sheet so they freeze flat and then store them vertically in the freezer. This has been the handiest recipe. (Oh, I skim out all the bones and most of the veggies before freezing.)

If you cook your soup in the crockpot do you have to reset your crockpot after 12 hours? amazing that you can cook it that long.

Hi L I just saw your response . thank you. You can leave it on without having to keep turning it on? Mine has an automatic turn off.

I have legs and thighs. wonder if i boiled them and then used those bones if that would work. How many lbs do you use?

Oh I'm sure that would work, Zee - I have saved bones and froze them until making a broth. I do that with shellfish shells too. :) So far as the automatic shut off, I think I'd just turn it off for an hour and put it back on again.

Usually I get a daily influx of emails on health topics. An article from Dr. Mercola really stood out recently though because it mentioned that fat cells have their own mitochondria. Not only was this the first I'd heard of this, he also mentioned that fat serves a purpose in our metabolism. Another new factoid for me. The bottom line for me was to appreciate that even our fat cells play a...

I just do not feel well and I really think that it's because I cried yesterday on my way to work about my Aunt who is in the hospital. I don't think that we will have her much longer. She is very frail. Now she needs help eating. So, this is the third time in a year that I felt this way after crying. I think crying releases toxins into my body. I also worked up a sweat at the gym...
