Old Dog Bones diet for Arthritis plus Golden Paste recipe by Dr Elaine Cebuliak

Step 1: Make the broth

Into a large pot, place:

12 cups of water
2 cups of Oxtails
2 cups of pork soft rib bones
1 cup diced celery
1 tsp. ginger powder
4 tsp. fresh basil
6 cloves of garlic
3 tsp. tumeric

Bring to the boil and cook on low heat for 2 hours

Remove the bones and discard, leaving the gel and soft cartilage into the stew.

DO NOT FEED COOKED BONES!

If on weight loss diet, remove most carbs.
(No rice for 2 months, consider after this)

Step 2: Add the following

½ cup rice
2 cups carrots
1 cup beets
4 cups greens (chard, beet greens, spinach, broccoli etc)
1 cup of sweet potatoes diced

Enough water to cover

1 cup of liver or heart muscle
5 tablespoons of flax oil/cod liver blend (add after cooking)

Bring to a boil. Cover, reduce the heat, and cook until the rice is done. Store in the refrigerator.

We also recommend a pinch of ginger and some activated turmeric daily.

Turmeric is not a fad. Nor is it a supplement, nor a homeopathic remedy. Turmeric is a food with thousands of years of documented use. It’s the most widely used spice in India and other parts of Asia and is an integral part of the folk medicine tradition in both India and China.

Turmeric must be consumed with some form of fat or oil in order to be absorbed. It is not water-soluble and will simply be eliminated if no fat is present. Adding freshly ground black pepper extends the time that it’s active in your body.

We strongly suggest using turmeric in the form of Golden Paste, as it includes all the ingredients that make turmeric both well absorbed and bioavailable. It needs to be consumed in or with food (since it’s a food itself) in order to take the best advantage of the digestive processes.

To prepare Golden Paste:

INGREDIENTS:
1/2 cup (65-70g, or about 2.6 oz dry weight) turmeric powder
1-2 cups (250-500ml) water (use half the total amount to begin with and have the other half ready if needed)
1/3 cup (70ml) unrefined coconut, virgin olive, or linseed oil (you can use salmon oil for dogs, if you prefer, but please see the note below)
3 tsp (about 7g) freshly ground black pepper

DIRECTIONS:
Combine the turmeric and water in a small saucepan and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to keep the mixture at a simmer, and cook for 7-10 minutes. Stir frequently to prevent sticking, and add more water as needed to keep it at a paste consistency. The exact thickness isn’t important–you can adjust that to your preference.

Remove it from the heat and allow it to cool until the pan is just warm to the touch. Add the oil and pepper and stir thoroughly until they are completely mixed in. Store in a clean jar (you can sterilise it if you like) in the coldest part of the refrigerator. It should keep for about two weeks. If you see any sign of mould or notice an ‘off’ flavour, discard and make a new batch.

If you know you won’t use all of it within two weeks, you can freeze half for later use.
