At 70 diagnosed with osteoporsis..began using eggshell instead of prescribed shots. When I use have better hair..skin and nails. So I feel at 78 my bones are strong!
Have you been tested again for oseoporsis?
The procedure from the video (for those who want a written recipe):
Wash the eggshells thoroughly.
Crack them and eat the insides.
Save the shells and keep them in the freezer.
When you have a gallon zip-lock bag full of eggshells, take them out and put them on a cookie sheet.
Turn oven to 250 degrees (Fahrenheit).
Cook for an hour. This leaves the membrane intact, ensures the egg shells are completely dried out, and kills any bacteria.
Crunch them up in a big bowl, then put them in something like a Magic Bullet or Ninja food processor. Put on "pulverize" and let it run as long as it needs to to create a very fine eggshell powder.
You can sprinkle it on food.
How you can read our minds need! Thanks!
I was thinking of picking up a little coffee grinder just for my egg shells.
Wow
July Bug . The finer the less gritty. A burr type will produce a much finer grind than blade grinders. That’s what espresso coffee requires.
Washing the shells properly before freezing them is crucial
I haven't eaten eggs shells, but I'm married, so I've walked on egg shells a lot! I'll try you receipe. Thanks!
Lol!!!😂
😅😂❤❤
Lol 😆😄
Ive tried what you suggest, no longer Pre-diabetic, no Fibromyalgia, Psoriasis gone, 70 lbs gone...
So guess I'm trying egg shells!!!
I have been eating eggshells now for about 2 weeks I've noticed a difference in my fingernails of an improvement my joints in my knees the inflammation is less and the myair and at 73 years of age I feel like my skin is smooth and looks good no complaints I encourage everyone to eat the egg shell
Are you still eating them?
How do you feel?
So far, everything you've taught me has led to me living my best life. Eggshells are now on the menu! Thanks for everything you do, sir!
Never done that, but i will try ....
Yes I've seen egg shell powder on Rain Country (u tub) she puts it in capsules .I plan to make some now that you also think it's a good thing to do .. thank you for the video ☺
I will try it and I will like it. Going to put it in my power shake 💪 ty love your videos
You can add washed eggshells to your bone broth when you make it. Add a little acid such as apple cider vinegar or lemon.
I will try your method saving all my eggshells in the freezer, etc. ❤️
So, instead of throwing egg shells away, and then buying supplements for calcium and magnesium, I love your idea of how to benefit from the egg shells and save money, as social security does not allow for any waste!! Thanks so much for all your healthful tips!!
Also, calcium supplements are associated with mortality.
I've been doing this exact procedure for years. Only I would feed it back to my chickens to promote strong egg growth. It never crossed my mind to eat it myself. I'll have to give it a try. Thanks Dr. Berry!
Sounds like you and the hens may have to share!
I can't take the crunch, even as fine as I'm making it. I've been adding some to my coffee grounds in the morning
Make sure the shells are crushed and don’t resemble the eggs or your chickens will start to eat the eggs.
How are the results?
I have had hens for years-35. you don't have to do anything to feed it back to them just throw them in the yard or pen and they will devour them. I usually just step on them and help crush them to make it easier for them but you really don't have to do that either.
Great suggestion! 2 refinements that should be noted. First, do NOT use a blender to grind the shells, unless the blender uses a glass vessel! The shells will abrade plastic, and you will end up with that toxic plastic in your healthy supplement. Next, get a small strainer to catch the pieces that do not become powder. A warning: Ground egg shell is extremely abrasive. If you add it to food that you chew, you can feel it grinding away at the enamel of your teeth! Don't put it in anything you chew! If you mix it with drinks, it sinks so fast you can't get it down. You can add it to a very thick shake I suppose. I solved the problem by buying a capsule filling machine, and making my own eggshell capsules. Pro tip: line the cookie sheet with parchment paper. The little drips of egg that drop onto the cookie sheet harden like epoxy, and are very hard to get off without ruining the cookie sheet. The paper just gets tossed, leaving nothing but a rinse for clean up!
Good tips. Thank you. It settles to the bottoms of my smoothies but i just swish the cup around and down it.
whoa! thank you!!!!!
Thank you David.
..thanks so much! Maybe we can add it to chilled coconut oil and swallow?
You were doing an absolutely phenomenal job until you said you were making capsules out of them because they have a very fine and hard powder making capsules out of them is a nightmare I have tried and I have made capsules of many other things and eggshell powder is the worst also I don’t consume capsules anymore because it’s processed and you don’t know what is in those capsules even if they are vegetarian. I also don’t use capsules because taking a teaspoon and putting it in your mouth and then swishing it down with water is by far the best solution for every supplement and every powder.
Every morning I wake up I take two scoops of grass fed whey protein isolate two scoops of almond flour or pumpkin seed flour I alternate every few days between the two you don’t want to take them at the same time because some of them could have anti-nutrients that will prevent each other from absorbing. I also don’t brew coffee I just take a big tablespoon of my organic CBD coffee and half a teaspoon of Kratom and I feel absolutely incredible and I just gave myself an unbelievable amount of nutrients in about two minutes worth of scooping.
I also eat half a pound of organic spinach every morning and every night I don’t blend it I just put it in my mouth and chew it down and it takes about 40 seconds of chewing.
I wouldn’t recommend eggs in the morning because they make you tired I would recommend eggs about 2 1/2 hours before going to bed so that they can make you tired right before bed and fill your brain with nutrients so that you can get better sleep.
I used to spend hours every day cooking and cleaning dishes now I spent a total of 20 minutes cooking and eating every day.
We grew up in my country using the eggs shells in everything, and I'm almost 50 years old, and i never had any pain and still consume the eggs shells and my family too.
Hi, what do you mean you used eggshells in everything? You sprinkled it on food, or? How many eggshells per day in general and in what form? Powdered or just crunch on it?
!!!
How did you use egg shells?
In what form dot you use the egg shells? We would love to learn!
Diagnosed with osteoporosis - I started eating egg shells. 2 years later... no osteoporosis - not even any osteopenia!
@@aurian-lay how much eggshell powder you use a day?
@@j03lPe about half a teaspoon.
Thank you for replying. Which brand of the eggshell powder do you use or do you prepare it yourself? Also what is your age ?
How did you prepare them? The same as the video?
@@aurian-lay wow! Incredible! I’ve had osteopenia since I was 19. I’m going to try this. How do you wash the shells? How do you prepare the shells before consuming?
Yes! I eat the eggshells as well! I am aware of the value of nutrients of these. Also, if you have a cut in the skin, the delicate membrane inside of the egg can be used as a bandaid when dried. It will heal the wound and the added nutrients will help in the healing. Farmers used this as a go to, when living on the farm but since the norm as changed society has forgotten these tried and true methods. Thanks for all that you do! 🐓🥚♥️
How would one go about removing the inside membrane and then how would you dry it?
@@JaneDoe-gn1jr that's my question as well. I can't ever seem to free the membrane from the shell
Probably from a boiled egg!
We have done this to eggs for our garden and plants. Will try it. Thank you.
@@JaneDoe-gn1jr when you crack the egg, you should be left with two pieces. Holding on price, slightly crack at the spot where it was cut already. Just a little over to expose the membrane. Take out the little egg shell pieces on the membrane you exposed and then just rip it off!
Dr. Berry, in my household, haven’t thrown away a single egg shell in 10 years. However, unlike you, the baked and blitzed shells go into the soil just prior to planting. We grow all our vegetables. It’s also incorporated into our livestock feed.
My mom, over 30 years ago, used to make "healthy cookies" with dates, nuts.. and crushed baked egg shells for my grandmother. She used to say that the egg shells have a lot of vitamins and minerals that are good for her mom's health!
Where can we learn all of this forgotten knowledge....
Smart Mom!
@@Jdub0126 Thank God for Y T!! As much as I detest their policies and sense oar (ship), it's been quite a blessing!
!!!
I started eating egg shells (1/2 tsp twice a week) about 2 months ago, but always had a worry that the calcium could go to my arteries instead of my bones. Your video put me at ease! FYI, I use a coffee bean grinder and mix with yogurt, then swallow it down without chewing.
I still wonder about that. How is it any different than taking a calcium supplement?
egg shells are real food, pills are not@@Indydi
Take centrifuged butter oil
Green Pastures is good brand
Puts the calcium IN bones & teeth instead of ON them and lining ur vessels, both no-nos
I have used egg shells for house plants - and it really does make them healthier, stronger. So, I'm going to give it a try for myself. Thanks for the info.
I've used them for plants too. They do work great. I think they have a lot of lysine too.
I have been doing this for years. I put the shells on parchment paper and bake for 10 minutes at 350 degrees, making sure they are not burned. I let them cool and crunch them down and put in a coffee grinder and make a fine powder. I store in a glass jar in the pantry. I mix mine with my powdered collagen add it to walnut milk and a few drops of BioSil and some cinnamon. I blend in blender and drink. The doggies get a sprinkling on their homemade meals every day.
Hi, what about vitamin D? do you take vitamin D too?
I've been doing this and feeding the shells back to our chickens for years- recycling with 100% efficiency. Calcium in, calcium out.
I'm well into adulthood and have had accumulating illness all my life, trying every way of eating I came across. I've just started the carnivore diet being on the 4th day. After the first day I did not crave sweets anymore, total miracle for me! The cravings I've had for so many years, more than sweets was meat and grease but I was swayed against it by so many people. I knew my body was telling me something but I never knew how to transition completely to meat and eggs. Thinking it was just another craving I kept searching and came across your videos. I'm so grateful!! I've never eaten egg shells before but I'm going to try it, looking forward to it.
That's called placebo. Nothing works after 1 day, that's essentially a physical/chemical impossibility.
I would love to do carnivore but it is too much expensive 😮
@@salmanismarketing6688 It's really not, ends up being MUCH cheaper for many people. I went from spending $800-1000 a month (lots of delivery/restaraunts/alcohol) to about $400 a month now eating steaks ground beef eggs butter some dairy. As you keep going you'll realize you don't need the majority of the products people keep in their bathrooms. Save some money there, and of course you'll rarely if ever get sick anymore, no more headaches, no more allergies, no more missed days of work, no more brain frog to increase productivity, no more huge hospital bills people experience in late years. It's really expensive to eat any other way I'd say.
@salmanismarketing6688 he has a video on keto for cheap, it would still apply to carnivore 🙂
How are the results?
Hi Dr. Berry. I'm very new into this lifestyle so I've been doing a crash course on your very informative videos. I did my first bag of eggshells today and put them on my meal tonight. I'm pumped up about all of this. I'm 66 years old and feeling better than I've felt in a long time. Had my yearly blood work last week and everything is looking great. My primary Dr told me to not change a thing. Thank you so much, sir!
I want to quote Mr. David from the upper comment section- "Great suggestion! 2 refinements that should be noted.

I’ve added egg shells when making bone broth. Just add the egg shells to the bones and water and let everything simmer together.
I do the same
I do! I soft boil eggs everyday. I just pop 1 whole egg shell in my mouth and chew it up.
My dog loves egg shells. I was collecting eggs from my chickens and my dog pops the whole egg in her mouth and runs off. Thanks for your work Dr. Berry. I have kept off 60 lbs of inflammation, reversed my crippling anxiety and depression, and recognized my food sensitivities through low carb, keto, carnivore over the past 3 years. My carb intake varies, but I now know I have the carb dial and have some control over my physical and mental health.
Yes. My dad was a physician. When I was a kid and had nail problems. He recommended it and went away. I will try.
My nails are crap thanks to çĥ3mó and nothing I'm doing has gotten them to stop breaking and peeling. (Not a girly girl by any means...it just gets annoying and it can be quite painful.) I should try this....wonder how long it would take to see a change. Five years of crap nails, I've forgotten what it's like to not break a nail folding laundry lol
I am 63, 51 years Ago, my home economics teacher was teaching us how to use the blender. She made a shake and added a whole egg including the shell. I have never forgotten that. I have made egg shells as you have described. Didn’t know quite what to do with them. Great to know that only a half teaspoon a day is all that is needed!
He cleans them before using the insides. Saves the remaining shells in a ziplock bag in the freezer until he has enough to bake. Then bakes large amounts like a gallon bag worth at 250°f for 1 hour. Then grinds baked shells to a power. He consumes 1/2 tsp power, per day, plus sprinkles some on his pet’s foods (Dogs and Cats) too.
PS: Also works well on plants to prevent deficiency diseases, especially for tomatoes and peppers.
I've been feeding egg shells to the dogs in their raw food but never thought about eating them myself until I started listening to you. I have 2 dozen egg shells in the instipot with the lamb bones making bone broth right now and will give grinding them and eating them a try.
Hi from the UK - yes I eat eggshells, I add 1 tsp to my ground coffee before putting in the esspreso maching I also make toothpaste from coconut oil, baking soda, ground egshells and a few peppermint oil drops. Thanks for all your advice.
I have osteoporosis and I’m 73 . Last years I tripped on the sidewalk and crushed the bones in my hand just from the short fall. Maybe three or four feet. I have eight pins in my hand/wrist now. I’m going to try this from now on, thank you.
I have been using boiled water after boiling egg in the morning for making tea for my breakfast. Also chilled it for watering the house plants and noticing plants are healthier so believe the egg shell has great nutrients. Now I will dry them in air flyer and powdered the shells
The air flyer is not good its teflon.
@@aussieandrew not all of them have the nonstick crap, thank God
@@katie7748 really thanks for that.
Yes. My mother-in-law does this. She crushes them up and adds them to pancake batter. She grew up on a farm and during the Great Depression where you use everything. She also uses soured milk in place of buttermilk for pancakes. I suppose I could do the same thing and add the powder to any keto baked goods.
Thank you for this video. I'm going to start doing this every day, 1/2 teaspoon. My grandmother, who was a young mom with 3 kids during the great depression, always taught us "it's a sin to waste food". She practiced what she preached too. Going to start doing this today.
How's it going? I wanna try it too
Yes I have!
Back in the day when I drank smoothies I would always add a spoonful of eggshell powder!
For those of you boiling your eggs, let the water cool down and save it in an empty container. It helps my house plants to look so healthy. I just water like I would with regular water.
So just eat the eggshells after you boil your eggs?
@jessiicc this is what I'd like to find out.. So far I haven't been able to find the answer..
Never heard of this I use the water with eggshell throw in the magic bullet and pour on the plants with the crushed eggshells in it. But will definitely try this method thank you ❤
@@jessiiccyes that’s how I eat it or you can do Dr. Berrys method.
Nice! Never would have thought of this.
I’m glad you put out a video on these eggshells! I was diagnosed with osteopenia last year and I, saw Steven’s wife who is on Bella’s channel talk about the recipe to ingest eggshells. I use my coffee grinder to pulverize my shells. Hopefully when I do my next Dexa scan, my bones will be in a better condition because of the calcium I’m taking the egg shells. Thank you for the recipe. personally, I put my egg shells in my collagen water in the morning with a pinch of Himalayan sea salt. Then I chase it with my iodine water.
!!!
I heard a rumour that it would help with a cavity that I had in a back tooth. I took a teaspoon a day in a cream and egg smithies. 3 months. Waiting for a filling all that time. Dentist said it did not need repair anymore. That's the truth. But I always get that certain look when I tell this story. Was so glad to see you do this video Dr B. Made me smile.
Dr john chrustopher used egg shell powder fir cavities. A swore people could regrow teeth.
When I had hens, I saved all of the egg shells, dried them, turned them to powder, and stored them in a half gallon jar. I added the powder to our meals. I also used it in my garden yo ward off blossom end rot.
Did you use it on all vegetables?
I've only had blossom rot on tomatoes that is why I'm asking.
@@patriciahammett4197.. I use shells for all the garden soil.
The beneficial microbes need calcium too. I sometimes buy oyster shell for my hens and garden soil as well.
I've seen other people talking about the benefits of eggshell membrane for pain relief, but wasn't sure how to prepare them. sounds like the whole eggshell is beneficial. I'm going to try it and see how it works. Thanks for the great info.
"Eggcellent" You are punny Dr. Berry! I love your videos, thank you so much.
I'm not eating any eggshells . Thanks . How about " balot" ? It's a egg with the chick inside . You can get different number of weeks of development.
That must be beneficial in some way .
So when do you start ?
@@boracay12 or haggis the nasty foods!
@@marymc6823 wtf
@@boracay12 UGH!!
In the other video about calcium, you never explained why those other type calciums can clog your arteries but egg shells don't and what those other calcium supplements really are. Thank you🙂 love your videos!
My grandmother used to eat it regularly back in Eastern Europe and we all laughed at her as kids! Looks like she knew this natural remedies way before us...
!!!
Well, THAT'S easy enough! I heard about the egg shell thing just recently, but without and of the details that you just gave us. I appreciate you for sharing, Doc! I HATE to waste anything! I'm definitely going to do this! Many blessings to you and yours!!
I’ve been doing this since my vegetarian days. The only difference is that I us the shells off my hard boiled eggs. I also keep the water for bone broth. If you watch the water settle after cooling down you’ll see white stuff on the bottom. I always thought it was also calcium so might as well keep 🤷🏻♂️
I love the natural sound of this. I always dislike throwing out food. This sounds just perfect for me. Love that you show the Ancestral Supplements.
I've eating egg shells for my knee pain, I am getting better. I also take turmeric and other natural foods.
So glad you addressed this topic! I usually peel out the membrane and cook it with my eggs, but I only tried the shells once. I boiled, but did not freeze or bake them, and couldn't get them ground fine enough with the nutribullet or the blender, so not very palatable. Also, my family thought i'd lost my mind.... I tried it because another UA-cam doctor said it would reverse my osteoporosis, but I stopped for the reasons I stated. I will try it again using your method. You have never steered me wrong!
..the minerals might go into the water... Maybe use a little egg cooker to steam them or drink the boiled water? Also make sure the grinder is glass or plastic will go into the shards.
It's important to remember to make sure you take vitamin D or make sure you're getting enough vitamin D from food or sunlight on your skin as you could take an entire bucket of calcium and without vitamin D your body wouldn't be able to absorb it 😎
The secret must be in the baking to dry out all the moisture from the shells.
I've never tried any of this before, it NEVER occurred to me.
But I'll be doing it from now on
Hows it going now after one year?
Sieve it with a siever
Hmmmmm.
I have used egg shells heated and dried and put in my coffee maker - under the coffee grounds and it cuts the acidity.
A shake of salt cuts the bitterness.
Then I can drink my coffee black - and leave out the milk - since I'm trying to cut out all dairy.
Very interesting! How much of the shell do you put in your drip coffee grounds?
Yes I’ve been eating egg shells organically non-GMO for a couple years now I boil the egg save the egg shell 🥚 grind it into a find powder form.. it’s tasteless you could put it in anything coffee ☕️ food you name it… it’s definitely a powerhouse.
What makes you say that egg shells specifically are a powerhouse?
Yes, I’ve heard of and am now using eggshell membrane for joint pain. Glad you’re talking about the benefits of eggshells. On your Monday Night Live a few weeks ago, I asked you to comment on taking eggshell supplements for joint pain when eating a Carnivore diet. Your idea of saving eggshells to make into a powder is as genius and helpful as frying bacon in a Dutch oven pot…Thanks again Dr. Berry, thanks again!
Do you think it would be helpful with rheumatoid arthritis? Also have you ever noticed kidney stones from them?
Just keep your calcium levels in check and eat a low oxylate diet to keep kidney stones away as best as possible. Best wishes to you.
@@dianneeubanks8594 passing on good info to help the kidney stones: Research Epsom Salt USP, which is actually magnesium sulfate.
I just did this for the first time today! I am 56 y/o post menopausal and have osteopenia/osteoporosis and was looking for a way to boost calcium intake to avoid going the medication route. This was the last piece of my puzzle! Taking some supplements and upped my weight bearing exercise. Hoping to see an improvement or halt in progression next year! 🤞 Thank you for always providing the best and most helpful information!!
Have you seen any benefits?
I watched this today, and gee! The local news ran a story about eating egg shells! Things that make you go “Hmmm!”
Been doing this for years. Love seeing a video on it!
Paul Saladino got me started on eating egg shells since 2019 becoming animal based. Shells are a great source of calcium much needed on a carnivore or animal base diet for some. For me personally I found being 100% carnivore I had bad muscle cramps due to calcium and magnesium deficiencies. Saladino experienced the same while others do not
Very true about the leg cramps. Mine didn't cease, even after supplementing with magnesium and potassium, until I finally added calcium. Then, I stopped having calf and toe cramps at night and upon waking. I was afraid that adding calcium might end up being deposited in soft tissues, so I also take K2-mk7. But I'm going to try the eggshells, a cheaper source of minerals. Thanks!
@@dianavp9054 I found soft chicken bones to be a good source of calcium, collagen and minerals too. I use the slow cooker to boil them nice and soft then munch away. Versus tossing in the trash that is if you can stomach chicken bones
@@JYAN2852 I've eaten cooked beef bones, but can't stomach them every day. I think the high histamine is an issue. Thanks for the advice with chicken bones, but I think the egg shells in my homemade broth might be more palatable. 😉
@@dianavp9054 Lol same here. Love beef bones but there's only so much of it I can take. I enjoy beef daily but the bones not so much.
@@JYAN2852 when i eat rotisserie chicken, some bones are eatable and i would say even tasty and enjoyable with the brown inside
I feed my dog egg shells. I know it has lots of nutrients but for me it sounds weird to eat eggs shells.
I would say it's like the nose to tail carnivore movement. We should eat the whole food including, shell, skin, organs. The nutrients are far more dense and complete than just muscle meats.
I think we just have to get used to the idea of eating everything not just what is popularized in the western world 🤓
Absolutely! I always eat the shell. I put it in my smoothie or anything really. The texture is awesome and a perfect “crunch” that is a gift from God. A total no brainer to eat the shell. No good reason not to.
I just did some farm fresh egg shells, I didn't freeze or bake them! I put them in a wicker basket, covered with a towel. I waited for a few weeks, then I ground them up. I am learning a lot about health and nutrition in my 50's!! Wish I knew this stuff sooner! Getting ready to start the carnivore diet with my wife soon, we are easing into together.. we had steak and eggs and I fried them in bacon grease, we dipped the steak in the grease, WOW it was delicious 🤤. We always believed the no fat myth from the doc's and the food pyramid!! We're learning now from you how to eat a proper human diet! Thank you doctor, God bless.
Yes! On our farm we had a chicken farm as well as other animals. About 240 various birds. I always made powdered egg shells. Added in dog food and u can put them in a Veggie capsule and take the 1/4 tsp that way. Also add in the garden tomato soil 👌
I like the idea of the veggie capsule. Sweet.
Great idea about the veggie capsule--thanks for sharing it with us. :)
Wow! I never thought of eating egg shells before. I will definitely try for my family and pets. This is because all of your recommendations are spot on.
I put dried/ground up egg shells in my vegetable garden but will try them directly on my food too :)
Just ordered some. The neighbor said she could hardly walk last month and is doing great now. Thanks for this video!
Ive called it a cookie sheet all my life. Someone recently told me its actually a "cooking" sheet. My entire life is a lie 😂
I think you may have convinced me to try this! We have done this to put on our garden plants.
Years ago I made my own egg shell powder. The recipe I found online said to boil the shells first and then bake them. That was probably overkill. I'm going to try it your way. Thanks for the reminder. 😊 And an old coffee or spice grinder works great for turning them into a powder.
Boiled eggs perfect as already boiled.
Yes. I save the shells from my boiled eggs. After 7-10 min. of boiling, they are also already clean. So I peel my eggs and leave the shells on paper towel to dry, put them in a coffee grinder and then put the powder in gelatine capsules.
How long do the capsules eggshells keep? Do you refrigerate them until you take them? Thank you!
@Judy Isozaki Since the shells are completely dry, when I put them in the coffee grinder and then in the capsules, they will basically keep in the pantry forever 😉
Collected my eggshells, smashing them up and I'll bake as you suggest, I am eggcited about this as I am older woman that six years ago I shattered my left leg bones and knee just by stepping down about two feet when a brick gave way. I have been searching for a better way of getting all the nutrition my bones need! Thank you Dr.Berry❤️
Thank you Dr. Berry for your "Eggs-pert" knowledge and continuing "Egg-cellent" nutritional advice for all of us Carnivores! I returned to this video for the temperature to bake the eggshells. This is my second batch. I use my nutri bullet to pulverize them as it does a fantastic job. End result is a fine powder. I store it in a tightly sealed plastic container. I scoop out a leveled 1/2 teaspoon measuring spoon and just drop it in my mouth. I also wash it down with a beverage. I know now I am getting the best source of calcium.
I have not (intentionally) eaten them but I plan on trying it now that I know it is good for me!
I will definitely try this. I take calcium supplements daily. Egg shells sounds like a more natural alternative. I started eating cauliflower leaves and cores this year instead tossing them in the garbage. Same too with broccoli stems.
Don't they have anti nutrients in them?
“Egg-cellent source of nutrition”😀

@@os3986 ha! Great comments you guys😂
1/3 ground egg shells, 1/3 cinnamon (Ceylon), 1/3 brown sugar into a spice jar and sprinkle on toast with butter or coconut oil and honey 🍯 and crushed walnuts 👌
I feed the shells back to my hens so their shells are strong. They forage most of the day, hunting bugs and digging through the horse pasture. They eat everything so well that the horse and sheep don't have too many flies.
Yes, Dr. Berry, I will be trying eggshells! I just saw this on a video from an India(n) doctor and started to save some. He had patients that reversed osteoporosis! I have severe osteoporosis and have tried all the meds, infusions, injections, and shots I had to give myself daily for 2 years. Nothing worked and several gave me horrible reactions. When I fall, I break. He did not explain how to make them into powder, so I'm very glad you did. It all makes perfect sense. We were given everything on Earth we need. We just needed to discover how to use it. Thank you so very much!!!!!!!
hey did you try them
Hope you’re doing better. Did it work for your osteoporosis?
Been doing this for about a year. Had some people call me crazy for doing so but my research suggested it was a great way to get certain minerals. I also feed the shells back to the hens.
Do you refrigerate powder or leave on counter?
@@lowens62 Since they were cleaned and baked prior to grinding, I leave on counter.
Hey Doc Ken, I wanted to shoot a suggestion by you, put a few pinches of ground eggshells into your coffee grounds when you set up your coffee pot to remove phosphoric acid and add some minerals too!
I have been eating eggshells for 10 days now and it has truly changed my life. I feel amazingly, sooooooo much better . I was so tired and lethargic for years every single day and some days I felt as if I couldn't function. After a few days of the eggshell I feel 1000 percent better like a new woman . I truly am beginning to think I was not getting even close to my rda of calcium. I will be eating these from now on daily!!!
do you eat them raw or do you freeze them and then cook them for an hour like Dr Berry does?
Also, how can we be sure they’re really clean like how do you guys clean them vinegar and water vinegar and baking soda hydrogen peroxide?
@@believeintendcreate
Yeah, this.
No. I have never eaten egg shells or the membrane BUT I certainly will do so now! I love the idea of making a powder and adding that to my shakes!
Now you've done it. Two weeks on Keto and dumping the sugars and reducing carbs, I've dropped about 15 lbs (I know it involves mainly loss of water at first.) Now the surgeon that will be doing my hernia procedure scheduled for next month will have less fat to work around, my wife likes me with a flatter belly, I have no desire to snack between meals, I know I can eat as much as I want of the correct food, I can eat a meal in the evening and not even think about food until well into the afternoon the next day (intermittent fasting.) My digital scale daily rarely adds, mostly subtracts, I may have to dig into my closet for my size 38 pants, I may be able to fit into my suits comfortably again... See what you've done!
Prepare for more pleasant surprises as you go along! And godspeed with the surgery!
@@Lamz.. Thank you!
Thanks for the specific instructions. Eatin' egg shells reminds me of a 1974 TV commercial with Euell Gibbons for Post Grape-Nuts where Euell says, "Ever eat a pine tree? Many parts are edible." We thought that was hilarious & had fun repeating Euell's line from the commercial.
Good ol' Euell Gibbons, eating pine trees out in the forest.
He was the butt of many jokes when that commercial was running.🌲
😄😄
Now pycnogenol, one of the active ingredients in Pine Tree Bark is one of the most beneficial supplements you can take, maybe top five.
I prepare egg shells this same way for use in the garden. It really helps the tomatoes. Will try some on my next meal.
Every part egg has nutrition.
I learned from my grandparents how to store long term bulk eggs.
Boil, peel, can separate white and told if want, chop up the peeled boiled egg then dehydrate, then grind in powder then can put into vacuum sealed bags or zip lock bags.
The shells then grind into a powder as well.
I’d definitely try that but I’d have to buy the appliance, and my diet doesn’t need them otherwise. But I’m glad to know how to salvage the nutrition, and your respect for the animals is exemplary Doctor.
Mortar and pestle?
You can use a cleaned out coffee grinder. Just smaller amounts at a time.
Soak in lemon juice and strain. Don't even need extra work or appliances
@@taylorsaxon1089 the dust kills them in short time..fyi
@@t-rozbenouameur5304 this only works well when the egg is ground finely from what ive read anyway.
I've gotten in the habit of eating garlic and onion skins for their health benefits. I actually like the taste and texture of garlic skin. So I can foresee eating eggshells. I can follow your recipe, or maybe I'll make a tea from the aforementioned ingredients.
I'm so grateful for this video! I've been saving and grinding our egg shells (in the Keurig coffee grinder) for a year now and feel so good about all the extra nutrition we're getting. -For pretty much FREE! (Still keep sending my mom/aunt your calcium video, but they're like, "well that's sweet honey, but I'm gonna do what my doctor says."🤯)
Yes, we eat eggshells blended up in protein smoothies with greens using a Vitamix blender. Known this forever from Vitamix demos at state fairs and so happy to see you promote it. Keep up the great work Dr. Berry. Thank you and God bless you.
Hey doc, just a little tip when you bake your egg shells to dry them out. Try doing it in your smoker the next time you cook at low temp. Then when you crush the eggshells into powder it becomes a smoky flavored seasoning. The eggshell powder also makes a good anti-caking agent to add to shredded parmesan cheese.
!!!
I've been grinding Eggshells for years, using only a mortar and pestle. Allows me to get a very fine grind. 🙂 plus, it's something I can do while sitting on the couch watching t.v., instead of watching t.v. and doing nothing 👍
Does it help tooth grow.?
Probably especially important for kids that are growing lots of bone. As described by Rheaume-Bleue in the book Vitamin K2 and the Calcium Paradox, this should go along with adequate vitamins A, D3, and K2 (liver, eggs, oily fish - also good for their growing neurons).
Hi Dr.Berry ... following you quite a while from Spain, I use to see my ex mother in law eating egg shells many years ago, and I was thinking in incorporate them in my diet , and now i´ll do it for sure ...i´ve been doing keto for two years and my whole life has been changed for good since then, i´m 54 and feeling better each month ... thanks for your great content videos and awesome advises.... greetings
Awesome! On carnivore, with no dairy, I was a bit concerned about low calcium. Problem solved for free! Life-changing!
I'm a new member of the Patreon group and found this video on egg shells because it kept coming up in Q&A's. I eat Vital Farms eggs daily as part of my PHD (doing BBBE right now for 30 days) and had no idea! I'll be saving my egg shells now to do this. Thanks Dr. B! (your neighbor in Atoka TN, just outside Memphis)
haha been doing this for YEARS I'm 60. That membrane is the stuff! I just save mine in the frigged and three weeks later I take them out of the fridge and grind them with a coffee grinder and put them in 0000 empty capsules. And take a few a day. Since I always heal fast! I play sports 5-7 times a week with the young ones. And win 80% of the time.
I will try this. Never thought about it but an awesome idea. Thank you.
Thanks for sharing this.
Had wondered about this.
Going to give it a go.
That membrane inside the egg can also be used very effectively as a bandaid for cuts and burns. Apply with pressure until it dries.
Does it act as a styptic to reduce bleeding?
I'd just recently heard about eating eggshells for calcium, saved some up, dried them, and have been looking for suggestions on what/how to do them. The first vid I watched said, wash, bake, pulverise. Yours says, don't wash, bake pulverise. I think don't wash is better. (I want the albumin.) Love your stuff, Dr. Ken. I'm keto. Lost >10% body weight; blood work improved hugely, love it. In my place, when cooking for me, I'm actually lion carnivore, but when eating out with my wife, I'm keto.
Thank you Dr Berry! ALWAYS such timely and affirming info. I feed eggshells to my cats since I make their food myself very often and I don't have a heavy-duty meat grinder to crush bones. I save the shells in the freezer, then to use them, I boil a few minutes, strain and put them in the blender till crushed. Dr Berry, am I losing nutrients by boiling? ( It doesn't get to a fine powder, but the cats don't mind. They don't chew as thoroughly as I do. I will HUNT one tiny speck of shell if it gets in my own egg meal. Maybe I'll get a coffee grinder and have some myself) Then when the shells are crushed I add the parboiled chicken meat & water, tyrosine, 1 fish oil capsule and 1/4 tsp of salt & 1/4 tsp potassium (No Salt brand or a capsule) to about 2 pounds of chicken with skin & about 1/2 pound of cooked liver for fun. Actually for the added vitamins & flavor. Then freeze in small containers. They Love it and it helps my one kitty's sensitive (barfy) tummy. I add more water to it when I serve and they like that a lot. They'll lap up all the "'gravy" take a break, then come back and finish the rest. I think it's like when they hunt, they probably get all the blood first. I'm sure it's super nutritious.
And I also add a D3 capsule to the mix.
This is great! I envision phasing out the Citracal that the doctor currently has me taking, and replacing that with eggshells. I am a forest gardener, implementing regenerative agriculture practices, some of which are based on Korean Natural Farming (KNF). One of the inputs is Water Soluble Calcium (WCA) made by mixing the roasted, crushed eggshells with Brown Rice Vinegar in a 1:10 ratio. You leave it to sit and react for 5 to 10 days. That is to provide nutrition for plants. Since you promote the use of Apple Cider Vinegar (ACV) for its health benefits, I wondered whether it makes sense to incorporate eggshells into the ACV, or whether the WCA might be good for human consumption along with a carnivore diet.
I imagine using the powder in baked goods and soups as an additive, similar to how our ancestors used bone meal, would be quite effective. I can also see this as being good in your garden if you eat more eggs than you can comfortably consume all the shells of.
Have not tried eating egg shells I do have lots of eggshells from baking brazos I crushed them placed them on the soil to benefit the plants I for the longest time been taking calcium supplements and makes me constipated So happy to learn how to make them my calcium supplement Thank you so much God bless you
I was buying Natural Eggshell Membrane (NEM) from Amazon 60 capsules for $40.00 Can. I bought a coffee grinder for $20 and a Mason jar vacuum sealer for $35. I will Boil my eggs, full boil 10 min, cool down and refrigerate them. As I eat my eggs, I keep my egg shells until I get a good supply in a bag. Then bake the shells 225 deg for 10 min in oven, cool down and crush to a fine powder with coffee grinder. Store excess powder in mason jar sealed with my Food Saver Vacuum sealer. Store in cool, dark place. Take out what you need and re-seal. So Easy.
My mom told me her dad used to grind up egg shells and add them to yogurt.
Probably a really good way to get that calcium in.
Ofcourse one should boil the egg and she'll to eliminate the germs and salmonella.
Of eggshells are good for plants added to soil....it may be a bit unconventional to consume but it's cheaper than buying calcium chews ☺️
