Baby Care

In ancient Rome there was a custom to begin each meal with eggs, and it was so widespread that the phrase “from egg” has acquired a new meaning; it became a proverb with meaning “to start something again.”
So, it’s very good to start your day with eggs. You may say – every day an egg – hard boiled, scrambled, fried, finally – it is monotonous and boring. But let us remember the following: an egg contains 6 grams protein, 15 g fat, 85 mg phosphorus, 25 mg calcium, 1, 2 mg iron, as well as a set of valuable vitamins.
For example – one egg contains a fifth of the daily human need for vitamin A. Egg-white has a high value. Two eggs satisfy a significant part of the daily protein requirements. But that’s not all. The most unique piece of egg is an egg shell, which composition strikingly coincides with the composition of bones and teeth of man. Moreover, it stimulates red blood cells, which are especially valuable after radiation injury.
Hungarian Medical Research showed that the shell contains everything necessary for the organism micronutrients, including copper, fluoride, iron, manganese, molybdenum, phosphorus, sulfur, silicon, zinc, etc – about 27 elements!
But especially I’d like to mention calcium. As you know, its lack, especially in the bones, is one of the most common metabolics today. As a result – rickets and incorrect growth of teeth among children, the curvature of the spine, bad teeth, brittle bones among adults.
The disorder of ring exchange is often accompanied by anemia, susceptibility to colds, allergies, herpes on the lips,lowering resistance to the action of radiation. In women, this list is complementary to various aches and weakness when giving birth, agony of uterus muscles. But they especially feel the lack of calcium during pregnancy. How many women have lost their teeth, while breastfeeding their child!
The drugs – calcium chloride, gypsum, chalk – are ineffective because they are poorly digested by the body. But the egg shell by 90 per cent consists of calcium carbonate, which is easily digested. So the conclusion arises: to try to make the shell of medical product. However, in pharmacies of western countries the powder of egg shell has been sold since 1970.
Meanwhile, the recipe is simple. Fresh chicken eggs should be pre-washed with warm soapy water, thoroughly rinsed. In most cases, the shell does not require additional sterilization. However, for young children they must be put for 5 minutes in boiling water. Next, carefully remove the lining of the film and dry a little, removing a dark ventilated place. Usually within a few hours it is well dried.
Now you need to crush in a porcelain bowl making it powder. It is noticed that when using the grinder or metal utensils; it is less active.
A child from 6 months to a year should use a dose of powder; that is, with the tip of a knife, from one year to two years – twice as much. By 5.7 years you can give your child half of the shell of one egg, and child over 14 years (as well as adults), not more than one.
It’s very important to note that before you give a child this powder, add a few drops of lemon juice. Lemon juice makes an instant chemical reaction – you can hear the characteristic hissing. As the shell contains calcium salts, lemon juice helps to turn them into a form that is well absorbed by the body.
The use of this drug is shown primarily in the skin lesions on the type of eczema, which is observed among many children affected by exidative diathesis. I want to warn: the effect appears not earlier than 3-4 weeks, but sometimes takes two or three months. So be patient.
The parents very often ask this question: when to take this powder – on an empty stomach or after meal? In this case it does not matter. It is possible to add it to food.
Egg shell has a positive effect in rickets and anemia. It helps to enhance hematopoiesis in bone tissue, accelerates healing in orthopedic disorders such as congenital hip dislocation, osteoporosis (softening of bones). Both children and adults should use egg shell powder in order to avoid having brittle nails and hair, bleeding gums, constipation, irritability, insomnia, hay fever, asthma, urticaria.

The shell is used in all cases when a lack of calcium in the body is noticed, as well as for prophylactic treatment:
- In pregnancy;
- Children from 1 year to 6 years;
- Preferably in adolescence and early adulthood (up to 19-20 years);
- Prophylactically twice a year egg shell powder treatment is useful for adults to prevent diseases of the spine, tooth decay, osteoporosis;
- As a means of deducing radionuclides in ground contaminated with strontium-90 (using 2 to 6 grams a day);
- Receiving the powder from the shell is especially useful in the beginning of the year, when the calcium metabolism slows down.
