let’s talk about bone broth does it work

well there’s not a tremendous amount of

research out there a lot of people claim

that it works but

i think you just need to test it out for

yourself to see if it does work when you

have knowledge of something and you know

it’s true

it’s something that you personally

experienced yourself knowledge doesn’t

come from second-hand information where

well i know it’s true because i read

something in a paper or someone told me

it’s true

it’s true because i tried it out myself

and so if you have

gut problems

or

arthritis or maybe an autoimmune disease

you might want to try it because most

people do bone broth

for those two reasons but today i want

to discuss why

it may work for those two conditions and

these are just theories we don’t know

for sure

but what is bone broth bone broth is

basically

this cooked down bone joints connective

tissue marrow

and ligaments and tendons and basically

you’re cooking all this down to make

kind of a brew or a soup out of it and

then you’re going to consume this liquid

and when you cook it you break it down

to these smaller elements and so you’re

taking this protein this long chain of

amino acids and you’re breaking it up

into smaller amino acids so it is easier

to digest

and assimilate and absorb into your

tissue so it’s not just amino acids it’s

a lot of different things when you’re

making bone broth you know breaking down

bone into calcium phosphorus

a lot of other minerals and there’s a

lot of other things in joints and

connective tissue and even fat soluble

vitamins that can be in this product now

we know um one of the amino acids called

glutamine

does improve gut the gut barrier and

bone broth is a good source of glutamine

now

autoimmune diseases

usually stem

from some gut

problem where you have this protein that

invades the

lining of your immune barrier your gut

and then your immune system starts to

inappropriately

tag

this is a

pathogen or a foreign body and now you

have

antibodies against this particular

protein and so you can have an

autoimmune disease against almost any

body tissue

now you can also have something called

molecular mimicry

where you have some substance that can

mimic a body tissue

where you have some substance like

gluten for example the protein in wheat

can mimic

the thyroid tissue so this could be one

reason why you develop hashimoto’s which

is an autoimmune condition to your own

thyroid so you have that factor as well

but when we deal with arthritis for

example especially rheumatoid arthritis

it’s an autoimmune disease and it

usually stems from the gut and so

anything you can do to heal the gut can

be good for arthritis there’s other

types of arthritis conditions with other

causes you could have high iron which

can cause arthritis or a liver problem

or consuming too many omega-6 fatty

acids which then create inflammation

also a low vitamin d situation can

create

arthritis or joint pain or muscle pain

especially of the lower back or you can

have a hidden infection in a tooth that

can then go into the systemic

circulation and go the different parts

of your body and create arthritis or

heart problems or it can invade your

brain so if you’re taking bone broth for

arthritis you really want to also find

out what is the actual cause of my

arthritis because if it’s coming from

something like a liver problem or high

iron

bone broth is not going to work now i

want to mention

one theory that i have that could

potentially be the reason why bone broth

does help for joint pain especially

an autoimmune type joint pain situation

now if you think about what an

autoimmune disease is it’s a situation

where your own body

has antibodies against its own tissue

okay they’re called auto antibodies

so it’s like your body has an allergy to

its own

tissue and it reacts against its own

tissue so we have this constant

inflammatory situation of the joint if

you have this this autoimmune condition

now dr royally back in the 40s came up

with this very interesting

this idea this concept

and it kind of goes like this let’s say

you had an autoimmune disease of your

joints okay where you had some type of

antibodies that are attacking the

synovial fluid or the synovial joint or

the cartilage or whatever and you

consumed tissue from another species as

in bone broth that has similar dna in it

okay

and you consume this it went into your

stomach your own antibodies that are

attacking the joint they’re called auto

antibodies

would then be distracted

and go after this decoy

it’s a really brilliant strategy that he

came up with and so what you’re doing is

you’re creating a distraction

you’re

causing this auto immune attack to occur

in another place in the body

and away from the joint that’s being

inflamed

giving the joint a chance to heal and so

he found that if you did this over a

period of time

you can deplete these this store of

autoantibodies in your system and

improve autoimmune conditions and so he

came up with a lot of different

remedies for different types of

autoimmune conditions whether it was for

the thyroid or the lung tissue or

whatever and so his company called

standard process has these products that

end with pmg okay that that stands for

protomorphogen which is basically the

dna of something okay but another

species like in a cow for example so its

products would be like thyroid pmg or

overtrophin pmg but this is just one

theory that potentially could be true i

don’t know if it’s true or not but i do

know when people consume bone broth they

generally do feel better in their joints

so i just wanted to bring that up as

maybe a another understanding of the

mechanism but if you have gut issues

there’s several things you need to do

number one

probiotics

or even better yet

doing fermented cabbage as in sauerkraut

or kimchi you can get a lot of

probiotics from that

also the diet that you should be on for

gut issues

should be

more fat okay in animal protein i’m

talking about animal fat and animal

protein okay that’s

really good for the gut but the ratio

should be more fat to protein you don’t

want to do lean protein with a gut issue

you want to do more fattier protein okay

so it would be like two or three to one

as far as the ratio of how much fat

versus protein so fatty meat fatty

sausage

things like that if you’re gonna do

plants or vegetables i would recommend

cooking or steaming them because those

plant chemicals can irritate people with

gut inflammation definitely don’t have

any grains or grain oils okay and i

would not recommend dairy eggs are fine

organ meats are fine

bone marrow is really good

one last point about bone marrow people

want to know can i take it when i’m

fasting i don’t recommend bone broth

when you’re doing intermittent fasting

however if you’re doing a prolonged fast

let’s say you’re doing

three days four days seven days whatever

it might be helpful

to take some bone broth simply because

you’re going to be in a situation where

you might need some of these raw

materials especially some of these amino

acids here and there and because you’re

not consuming a lot of food you’re just

consuming a liquid version of these

amino acid and other products i think it

could be a very temporary situation

where you’re maybe you’re going out of

ketosis and you get right back into it

and a true fast is a fasting and you’re

not consuming anything else so if you’re

getting like muscle loss of course you

would need more amino acids from that so

just a side note now there’s a very

interesting uh interview that i did

with a doctor on leaky gut that would be

a really good next video for you to

watch okay

check it out i put it right here
