Hi Jean,

There are several posts with a subject line - Bone soup.

Hi again,

If you go to the group webpage there is a "search conversations" box, enter bone soup.

Hi Jean,

Maybe add some broccoli, spinach and bok-choy as they are high in iron?

Hi again,

Can also use a slow cooker and let the contents "cook" for 4-5 days. The broth is very concentrated. Then pour the liquid into ice cube trays and freeze.

Please could a kind person forward me the subject line to research or the recipe for a nutritious broth for someone with a stomach tube ,anaemia ,and post operative debility.
There were mails recently on this subject. Thank you, Jean

This needs a source of iron, and a source of copper (and other vitamins incl B12) to help absorb it, and Vit E to make sure it goes where needed to make red blood cells, and is not sequestered.
A good source for all - except enough Vit E which can be added - is a tonic used in animals called Lixotinic (gallon amounts for horses) or Pet-tinic (2 or 4 oz amounts for cats and dogs). Same exact formula. Carried at feed stores and some large pet supermarkets and horse vets and online.
Officially these are for animals but nobody cares more about getting it right than horse racing enthusiasts and I do not know a people tonic with close to the right stuff and ratios. So I have used this animal one, even though it is made by my least favorite drug comapny, Pfizer..... NOT other animal ones as they have a totally different yucky formula.
Foodwise, make sure the food contains the needed nutrients. Chicken is a very poor source. Liver and red meat helps.
Good first aid to consider for anemia if there is difficulty generating red cells, is Plumbum metallicum in very low potency, like 5C.

Namaste,
Irene

You need red MEAT to get iron, not vegetables.
Compare:

Liver, 100g, has 8.44 mg Iron
Broccoli, 100g has 0.73 mg iron
(Egg, 100g has 1.75 mg Iron)

Thank you so much. Anaemia presently the main issue to be addressed .Have bought a mixture of meat and bone [grass fed and antibiotic free ] and presently doing first simmer.
Thank you again. Wondering about adding some tumeric fried in coconut oil but do not wish to block or even stain the tube. They might worry about that., Jean

Thanks . Good idea, Jean

Will look into it. Thanks, Jean
