help!
dear ivor,
thank you for the recipe, will try it do you think it might work with a cone
six clay fired to about 06?
am wondering why you use terra cotta as opposed to a heavy cast iron pot?
also how do you clean the pot as it must absorb a lot of the fats and stuff,
could it become rancid over time?

Dear Donna Kat,
I recently developed RSI in my neck region. Consulted my medico who said it
was osteoarthritis and recommended 1500 mg per day of glucosamine sulphate.
Yes, it has an ameliorating effect on painful symptoms. I also used it, in
the past, on one of my dogs who, through age, was becoming arthritic. Helped
her a lot.
But I think we should question why this ailment is afflicting more and more
people. One answer may be the way our western civilisation is consuming more
and more food that is over processed and highly refined. This trend is
aggravated by Global management of food production and an educated public
taste for lean, tender, sinew free, cartilage free, fatless, tendon free
meat. All of the basic building blocks for the repair of our muscular
skeletal system of articulated joints are removed from our diet unless we
deliberately choose to include them. Butchers dress meat to remove all the
things necessary for the maintenance of the Body Machine
We counter this, via a weekly meal of Shin Beef, cooked very slowly in a
Porous Terracotta Pot which has a heavy lid. The pot and lid are presoaked
in water. Untrimmed meat and flavours to taste (But NO Salt) are put into
the pot. The lid is put in place then the pot is put in a Cold Oven. The
heat is turned high for half an hour then adjusted to as low a setting as
possible for a couple of hours. By the time it is ready to serve all the
sinews, gristle, cartilage and tendons have melted, but the meat is tender
and delicious.
Glucosamine Sulphate is a chemical built from a sugar, Glucose and a
nitrogenous material, an Amine, that has been extracted with Sulphuric acid,
probably from animal wastes. It is a constituent of Chitin, the raw material
of fingernails and Hair among other things animal and vegetable. It is
possible that Galactosamine might be a better bet to assist with problems of
our joints but there may be less of that around since many sharks, rays and
skates are endangered by ignorance of their habits and life styles, nor do
crushed ground raw prawn shells have a very palatable taste.
I hope you make an rapid recovery.
Best regards,
Ivor Lewis.
Redhill,
South Australia.
