time and saved to use throughout the month?

+++Hi . All minerals require acid in order to be absorbed, so that's why

powdered eggshells are mixed with lemon juice first. The lemon juice makes it

moist and easier to swallow, and it tastes better. Have you smelled or tasted

powdered eggshells? I don't find it pleasant at all.

+++You can make larger batches with lemon juice but it dries out over time. Keep

it in a glass container, with a lid that seals it well.

+++The problem with batches is measuring out accurate doses. If you can solve

that, then go for it. If it dries out you can add more lemon juice, but that

would change the amount to take.

+++Powdered minerals cannot be mixed into liquids to take them since they are

heavy and sink to the bottom so you'd be digging them out with a spoon.

+++Instead of mixing it with lemon juice, you can take vitamin C with the

eggshell powder. All supplements must be taken with meals anyway.

rose hips I could pulverize with it.

+++Lemons and rose hips are too high in sugars to use them that way.

Hi Bee

I just saw your reply to about powdered eggshells. So if we add the

powder to our vit C and water we don't need to let it sit like we do the

lemon juice solution?

Thanks, Priya

+++Hi Priya,

Yes, but if you add powdered eggshell to any liquids they will settle into the

bottom so you'd have to dig them out with a spoon as I wrote to .

Hi, Bee,

When I used the coffee grinder for making eggshell powder, it is not smooth

enough and the membrane turned into pieces but not powder. When I soak the

powdered eggshell into lemon juice, it did not make it dissolve. How do I

improve? Should I use a better grinder?

I did use the whole egg blended by Vita-Mix and mixed with other stuff for

making a banana cake, it seems OK, just a little bits of pieces detected.

Thanks.

Hi Mei - I think you are supposed to remove the membrane and just use the actual

shell. Not sure why it wouldn't dissolve - Hopefully Bee can answer that one.

@@ Hi Mei and Ali,

I had to correct this post since I forgot to submit the link below.

Ali, one does not remove the membrane when making homemade calcium from

eggshells. See link below under the suggested heading.

Mei, rather than having to get another grinder try putting them in a plastic bag

and use a rolling pin to grind them into a fine powder.

More on this below. Go to article and scroll down to " How to Make Powdered

Eggshells " .

+++Hi Mei,

You need to remove the membrane on the inside of the eggshells, which is easy if

you put them in hot water and peel them off. Then you must dry them out well

before grinding them. I spread them out on a cookie sheet. Then I crunch them

with my hands to break them into smaller pieces.

I use a coffee grinder too and it powders the eggshells really well.

The lemon juice does not dissolve powdered eggshell totally, but it makes the

mixture taste better and it provides the acid minerals need in order to be

absorbed by our bodies.

Cheers, Bee

@@ Hi Bee,

I checked your file in regards to Calcium from Eggshells. Under the subheadings,

below, it states to not remove the membrane due to its nutrients. See below the

references and the link.

How to Make Powdered Eggshells:

1. Wash empty eggshells in warm water until all of the egg white is removed,

but " do not remove the membrane " because it contains

important nutrients for the joints which helps arthritis.

http://www.healingnaturallybybee.com/articles/supp2.php

# 2 Lemon Eggshell:

# Carefully remove the eggs " without breaking the membrane " , and use them as

you would normally, i.e. in your raw egg drink.

Bee, I find no other reference/s where it states otherwise on that page . If

the above is not correct, then it may be suggested to address it. Thus, to

avoid confusion in future for members in general.

Warm Regards,

Ed

+++Hi Ed,

Thanks for noticing that. I was wrong this morning when I wrote that the

membrane should be removed. It's good to know none of us are perfect, and we

all make mistakes eh?

Ed, you are doing a fantastic job helping people, and it helps me a lot too.

Thank you immensely!

Lots of bouquets and good vibes to you always!

Your appreciative friend, Bee

[Guest guest]

Hi Mei,

I was wrong by advising you to remove the membrane inside the shell - thank

goodness my wonderful moderator Ed was on the ball!

Your coffee grinder should still powder it okay. I had to stop it grinding once

in awhile to scrape the sides and get all of the pieces into the grinder in the

middle, and I pulsed the grinder quite often too.

Wouldn't putting the shells in plastic and rolling them contaminate them with

plastic, especially since they are sharp and jagged and would scrape the

plastic?

It's okay Ed. I wrote this morning that I was wrong and you are right!

Thanks for being alert and such a great asset on this group!

+++Hi there. It is highly unlikely dried eggshells could have any plastic

leached into them even if they scrape the plastic, since they are dried, not

acidic, not moist, etc.

We can't get too picky about some things; that why we have " pick our battles. "
