Guest guest Posted December 5, 2007 Report Share Posted December 5, 2007 Dear Lisa, The average adult dosage is 2 tablespoons a day, and this is best divided up in the morning and the evening. The kids can get by with 1 teaspoon to 1 tablespoon depending on body weight. Remember the 150 Rule here, and put your child's weight over 150 to find out his or her fractional dosage. Being as this is an all natural remedy, you'll not go wrong if you go over or under the above as it's tough to mess this one up.

Guest guest Posted December 5, 2007 Report Share Posted December 5, 2007 This can end up being a weird looking formula LOL :-D I've never heard of " blood " being in an egg????? so am at a loss with this one. Are you sure the egg hadn't matured enough to be almost hatching. This is the only thing I can think of here = the egg was fertilized and the baby chicken had already started growing inside, in which case you wouldn't want to use this egg anyway. Just a bad egg is all. Sometimes the Lemon Egg recipe can get very lumpy, but don't worry about it = good stuff anyway.

Guest guest Posted December 10, 2007 Report Share Posted December 10, 2007 Some have a "blood spot" in them and you only find this in eggs that have been fertilized by a rooster. However, this will not hinder the quality of your Lemon Egg, and you can always take the egg out before you get all the way through the shell = under 48 hours, let's say around 40 to 44 hours. I would never suggest any person go against their own religious beliefs, sooooooo can not comment any further with the remainder of your post.

Guest guest Posted December 12, 2007 Report Share Posted December 12, 2007 Dear Kath, Thanks for the "correction" and the expert input. I should have put this question to a farmer like you in the first place. LOL It's amazing what we think of as being the "way things are" until we look a little deeper. :-D Doc Legacy wrote: Hi Doc, Correction. Blood spots are not the result of being fertile. While the egg yolk is forming sometimes pieces of the oviduct break away and become part of the egg. It isn’t really blood, more like soft tissue. Once in a while a capillary along the oviduct will rupture and a spot of blood will be alongside the yolk and will become part of the egg itself. In both instances, eggs are safe to eat. If the spots are a problem, they can easily be removed. A fertile egg doesn’t look much different from an unfertilized egg until heat (incubation) is applied. The nucleus spot is a little larger with a fertilized egg.Then within 24 hours of heat the spot (blastoderm) has grown to about the size of a penny or nickel. Sometimes just the heat of a summer day is enough to start a fertilized egg developing which is why I collect twice a day in hot weather. Also, some Asian country’s love to eat their fertilized eggs when they are about two thirds incubated. Called balut. Gross, but I guess not much grosser than eating a soft shell crab!!!

Guest guest Posted December 27, 2007 Report Share Posted December 27, 2007 Don't waste the eggs, use them after you've made your lemon egg. You want to use the whole egg to begin with, since we're dealing with a live organic source here. As soon as you crack the egg shell you've started the deterioration of the " organicness " of the shell. After you've taken what's left of the egg out of the Lemon Egg, put these eggs in a bowl and put them in the fridge. They'll keep for about 9 days with the shell gone.

Guest guest Posted January 9, 2008 Report Share Posted January 9, 2008 Dear Cathy, Sorry for the lag on getting back to you, but I've been that busy. If the egg is cracked to begin with, I wouldn't use it. But if it cracks while in the mixture, I wouldn't worry about it. This happens all the time. Love, Doc Cathy wrote: > I made more lemon egg, I used 6 eggs to 2 bags of lemons (1 qt. juice) > it is a yellow color, I used brown organic eggs.

Guest guest Posted January 9, 2008 Report Share Posted January 9, 2008 Dear Christel, You are not stupid, so please don't even go there. Self invalidation is not conducive to happiness or keeping positive. Again, it really does depend on the size of the eggs and the lemons. My main rule of thumb here is to have the lemon juice covering the eggs in the jar by at least an inch. You can even cover them by as much as two inches and get a great product. Remember, we're not talking Rocket Science here. No one is going to get sick and die because you don't stick to an exact formula. This recipe is very inexact and loose. You can use normal lemons, but don't let that stop you from bugging your healthfood grocer to get the organic ones. In a pinch, I'd use the commercial, but some think that this means I'm giving a license to get lazy and to stop demanding "Organic". I'll give you one month to find an "Organic Source" LOL :-) I've used white eggs, brown eggs, and even Arucana blue / green eggs in this recipe and they all work. You could probably use duck eggs or geese eggs and still get a favorable result though your calcium levels would definitely be different. I clean my eggs with distilled water, but H2O2 would work fine as well. As I said, we're not talking rocket science here, and the important thing is to just DO it. You're welcome for all the help and I am only too glad to do so. Have a great 2008 yourself.f Hugs, Doc christel wrote: Dear Doc For the sake of sounding stupid I hope you don't mind a few more question from me on this. 1 How many eggs do you use when you mix this? 4 to 5 lemons to how many eggs? 2 I am not able to find organic lemons...are normal ones OK? 3 Does the color of the eggs matter? All our organic ones are brown. 4 Is it OK to clean the eggs with H2O2 before doing this or what do you use to clean? Maybe I'll get it done this week Thanks a million for all your help and Happy 2008 to you Christel More new features than ever. Check out the new AOL Mail!
