1/4 cup kelp powder or 1/4 cup mixed trace mineral powder
1 cup lecithin granules
2 cups wheat bran
2 cups bone meal, calcium lactate, or calcium gluconate
Mix together and store in a covered container. Be sure to refrigerate
(everything but the lecithin and minerals perishes at room temperature).
Add 1 teaspoon of Vita-Mineral Mix to each cat's meal (2 teaspoons per
cat per day).
Your own homemade chicken broth will be full of calcium and nutrients.
Here's how to make it:
2 to 3 lbs. chicken (I prefer thighs)
1 lb. chicken necks and backs
water to cover
1/4 cup tomato juice (not V8 juice)
Put all chicken into a soup pot large enough so the chicken fills the pot
only halfway. Cover with water until water is one to two inches above
the chicken. Cover the pot loosely (tip the lid). Bring to
a low simmer. Simmer three to five hours, occasionally breaking up
the chicken and adding more water if necessary. During the last hour
remove the lid and let the water cook down until the chicken is barely
covered. Broth is now deliciously strong. Pour off broth, cool
to room temperature, and then store in refrigerator.
While the broth is cooling, pour enough cold water over the chicken
left in the pot to cover. then let it cool some more until it's cool
enough for you to be able to touch. With your hands, knead, squeeze,
and stir the chicken around in the water to get all the good out of the
meat and into the water. The water will begin to look milky.
Finally, take the handfuls of chicken meat, wring out the liquid into the
pot, and throw the meat away. (The hours of simmering have succeeded
in transferring the usable nutrition from the meat into the broth.
What little nutrition is left in the meat at this point would be largely
indigestible.) Leave the bones and the broth behind in the pot.
Pour this broth off and store it with the first batch of broth. Transfer
the bones into a smaller pot. Crack them up so they form a
fairly compact mass in the bottom of the pan. Cover the bones
with water and add the one fourth cup tomato juice. Simmer one half
to one hour.
Pour off this broth, again combining it with the other broth.
Throw the bones away. Store about two cups ot the broth in a jar
in the refrigerator, store the rest in the freezer in pint size covered
freezer containers to be thawed as needed. To thaw, stand the container
in a bowl of hot water.
2 cups bone meal, calcium lactate, or calcium gluconate
Mix together and store in a covered container. Be sure to refrigerate
(everything but the lecithin and minerals perishes at room temperature).
Add 1 teaspoon of Vita-Mineral Mix to each cat's meal (2 teaspoons per
cat per day).
In a blender, gently mix the following on the lowest speed possible.
Because only the fresh drink with freshly extracted juices gives you the
live enzymes, make a couple days' supply of the base and add the
fresh juices just before feeding. Force-feed animals who
are off their feed, but don't overfeed and cause vomiting. The ingredients
are available at any good health food store.
Base:
1/4 cup distilled or filtered pure water
1 tbsp. aloe vera juice
1 tbsp. powdered dulse or kelp
1 tbsp. nutritional yeast (unprocessed yeast containing the B vitamins)
1 tsp. organic apple cider vinegar (detoxifies the body)
1/2 tsp. ground rosemary (a natural preservative)
400 IU vitamin E (open a capsule and add its contents)
You can make up to a week's worth of this base at a time and keep it
refrigerated.
Fresh Juices:
1/2 cup organic carrot juice (freshly extracted)
1/2 cup raw organic calves liver (fresh and blended) or 2 organic, raw
egg
yolks (no whites)
1 tbsp. parsley juice (freshly extracted)
These should be made fresh daily and added to the base just before feeding.
Blend together on the lowest speed.
Dosage: For a cat 1 to 12 pounds: 2-3 tbsp. two to three
times daily
1/4 cup bone meal (or 9.000 milligrams calcium or 5 teaspoons eggshell
powder)
1,000 milligrams vitamin C (ground) or 1/4 teaspoon sodium ascorbate (optional)
Mix all ingredients together in a 1 quart container and refrigerate. Add
to each recipe as instructed. You may also add this mixture to commercial
food as follows: 1 to 2 teaspoons per day for cats.
