The Ultimate Recipe for Rebuilding Knee Joints

Here is the ultimate recipe for rebuilding knee joints. It is a widely known and accepted as truth that the joint cannot heal once arthritis, joint degeneration and/or bone on bone has been diagnosed in the knee. But what isn’t widely known is there are specific actions we can take every day that will slow down, stop and possibly even reverse these painful knee diagnoses.

First, we must begin to look at the body as a complete system NOT just at the knee. Arthritis, joint degeneration and bone on bone never develops “overnight. There are conditions in the knees and the body that have been setup for months, years and sometimes decades which create the pain, stiffness and wear in the knee joint.

What if we started regularly and abundantly giving the body the resources it needs for rebuilding the knee joint?

Do you think there might be a different outcome in how your knees both feel and move?

Here’s a recipe I believe can provide the body with the resources it needs in the form of nutrition that is the perfect recipe for rebuilding knee joints.

Here is simple step you can begin taking everyday that can slow down, stop and possibly even reverse these pain knee situations.

Here are the Ingredients You’ll Need for Your Recipe for Rebuilding Knee Joints:

Chicken Broth
What you’ll need:
Crockpot
– *Mason Jars (Large Glass Containers)
Turkey Baster

Ingredients:
– Scraps from the kitchen
1 Tablespoon of peppercorns
2 Bay Leaves
**Fresh Clean Water

*I prefer 1/2 gallon glass mason jar containers as plastic ones tend to leach micro plastics into the broth. The larger the better as long as they fit in your refrigerator

**There are lots of reasons to go with fresh clean water coming out of the ground but I’ll leave that out for now. The goal is to stay away from any water that contains fluoride and chlorine in it.

Step 1: Collect Kitchen Scraps

I discovered several years ago there was lots of nutrition I normally throw away in the garbage or the compost pile. Many of these items I was throwing out could have been used to help heal my body and feel better.

Bone broth to rebuild cartilage
Kitchen Scraps

What to collect:

  • Egg Shells
  • Chicken or Beef Bones
  • Vegetable Scraps (from onions, broccoli, potatoes)

I keep a 1 Gallon plastic bag in the freezer, I fill with items collected after preparing meals. I put them in the plastic bag and then in the freezer to sit until the bag is completely filled.

Using a crock pot allows me to set the broth to cook so I can “forget” it and go on with my day without worrying about a pot on the stove .

When the bag is filled, I’m ready to make some broth!

Directions:

  1. Dump the contents of the bag from the freezer into the crock pot.
  2. Add in 1 tablespoon of black peppercorns and 2 bay leaves.
  3. Fill the crock pot to the rim with fresh water and set the crock pot to high
Cooking Crockpot

Every 24 hours I drain off all the broth and refill the crock pot with water to sit and cook for another 24 hours.

Because the crock pot is filled with lots of “stuff.” It turns out to be challenging to ladle the broth without fighting the contents of the crockpot ending up in the ladle. Because the crockpot it so hot, it was difficult to get the broth out.

I settled on using a turkey baster and even though it may take a bit to get the broth out of the crock pot. It was infinitely easier to deal with the turkey baster than running the risk of burning myself pouring the mixture and filtering it through a funnel.

The first few days the broth will be a dark rich color and will get lighter as you siphon off each batch of broth until all the nutrition has been boiled into the liquid. I’ve heard you can keep repeating this process for up to a week. I usually stop after 4 days. The broth will look lighter like water and the bones will crumble underneath finger tip pressure.

I’ve gotten pictures of each batch so you get an idea of what I’m talking about and what to look for.

Second Day:

Third Day:

Fourth Day:

Fifth Day:

You can see each day the broth gets a little lighter and slightly more cloudy as all of the nutrition is pulled out of the kitchen scraps and into the water. This liquid is the awesome stuff that is going to give your body what it needs to help in rebuilding your knee joints.

I stop making broth when two things happen:

  1. The broth is really light. This means there isn’t as much nutritional benefit from the broth.
  2. The bones and eggs shells crumble pretty easily. Bones are made up of calcium and collagen. Calcium gives the bone strength while collagen gives the bones flexibility. The process of making the broth is drawing the collagen out of the bones and egg shells making it available for your body to utilize for rebuilding your knee joints.

When you have arthritis, torn cartilage and meniscus, joint degeneration, bone on bone. This is what I’d include in my diet everyday!

Extra Credit!

Here’s what makes the bone broth taste like absolute heaven and give you even more great nutrition for your joints. 

Selena Naturally - Celtic Sea Salt
Selena Naturally – Celtic Sea Salt

I tear the seaweed sheets up into small pieces and throw them in the broth when it’s hot. Then I put in approximately a 1/2 to 1 tablespoon of Selena Naturally – Celtic Sea Salt per quart of broth…

Drink while hot/warm and enjoy!

While going through this process I’ll use the broth straight from the crock pot. If there is any left over, I’ll store it in the fridge to use for soups and stews. Depending on your knee situation you’ll have to experiment with how much bone broth will work for you.

Good luck and let me know how it’s going below!

I bought Bill’s program and used it, getting good results. I am having new knee pain and can’t access the info at this time. It was on a computer I do not have any more.
Can you help me access what I paid for previously?
Thank you,

The only problem I see with this recipe is that I eat potato and apple skins, and I don’t peel carrots. People (read ‘Americans’) remove lots nutritious parts from fruits and vegetables. One can even eat banana and orange skins.

Amina

Do the same principles apply to healing the hip joint (bone on bone)? I know my friend who offers egoscue said that if the body is in balance, that will help to create space in the hip joint for new cartilage to grown. I eat a very clean diet, but am going to add the bone broth. Feels just right to do this! Thank you for the support you are offering so many. Amina

Hi Amina,

The same principles can be applied to the entire body. I’m glad to know that you will be incorporating this into your diet, be sure to let us know how your bone broth turns out!

Great article. Bone broth helped heal my gut after a nasty parasite that wreaked havoc on my body. I strongly suggest organic bones, eggshells and veggie scraps, and filtered water. (If you use beef bones that aren’t organic, the smell is horrible.) I used a Berky for all our drinking & cooking; purchase organic whole, or any chicken parts to eat and freeze the bones until there’s enough to make a batch. And yes, save the organic veggie scraps. Love the idea of seaweed & bay leaves for flavor! Exercise is also important – make sure you’re stretching and lifting… Read more »

I’ve been suffering for sometime with knee pain. My leg is actually bowing out. I’m afraid to have knee surgery cause I’ve had a stent put in for blocked artery. I got my first cortisone shot 8 months ago and it was great. It must of worn out cause I’m in pain again. Bone specialist said I have bone on bone and arthritis in my knee. What do you recommend.

Mina Nodaros

Hi Bill, Your article was very interesting. two weeks ago I missed last step rushing of course and fell hard on my knee. Well to my dismay i found out after mri, i have torn mcl, acl, menescus and a small fracture on knee! I never had any knee problems in my life and no osteoarthritis either. so this is so much for me. i am in my late 50’s. For now dr. wants me to heal the fracture and mcl, and then surgery for meniscus and acl. He will use a cadavor acl. In the meantime is drinking bone… Read more »

How will this work on the lower back?

Interesting read!

Hi Bill,

I have few broth questions.

1. I assume the key ingredients here are the bones and egg shells. The veggies are just to give it a bit better flavor, correct?

2. Is the crock pot really the best way? I mean, I’d like to do it faster. So would the results be comparable to do like several multi-hour sessions in a dutch oven in the stove or stove top?

Thanks,
Scott

Simone

Cooking at slower at low heat preserves more nutrients.

Simone

Scott and Bill,
I use an Instant pot on the slow cooker or crock pot setting for 20 hours because that’s the max setting at the end of 20 hours it keeps the stock warm until I can tend to it.
If you don’t have either pot, I suggest an oven on a low setting might work like a slow cooker but not as efficient.

Simone

You can usually find crock pots at Thrift stores. I found a dehydrator at a thrift store that I use to dry onion skins, veggie peels and parsley stems, egg shells, collard and kale veins etc. and apple peels to use in stock later.

RJW

I have been using the broth–not even every day–but it seems to be helping! I don’t care if it’s placebo or what–I’m thrilled there is improvement. I know it could be more –I still have “bad days”, but some days I no longer notice pain–wow! So now I’m going to step up on more broth and watch your videos for tips. I get regular exercise but need guidance on what kind is best. Any advice gratefully accepted. Thank you!

Natasha

I had torn meniscus surgery. Pain increased due to arthritis in both knees. Had 8 weeks of physical therapy, accupuncture, massage and even hijama. Both knees are pretty stiff. Looking forward for your advice.

Natasha

Removed pieces of meniscus and smoothed arthritis as much as he could.

Michael

About the bone broth, isn’t it vital to make certain the bones used are from free range and / or grass fed animals? I’m figuring, if not, you will be ingesting all sorts of hormones and artificialities….Thanks for reading!

Thank you, Bill–for this excellent, easy, cheap, drug-free way to heal joints. Excellent advice too–“healing is non-linear”–like a spiral or labyrinth journey back to wholeness–follow what nourishes you.. “pain doesn’t care what you think–feel your way to healing.” The body can heal–we do know what direction is towards healing if we allow ourselves to listen. We often mentally isolate our injuries from the rest of what our body needs. But the truth is we have to attend to our entire lifestyle because we are one being–not a series of parts to “maintain”. I want to heal my arthritis, and I… Read more »

Thank you so much for your help. I received a video from you and though I did not yet feel a difference, I believe with patience and determination and guidance from someone like you who has succeeded in healing knee joints—I will get better. The only question in the survey you sent that I was unsure how to answer was whether I limp when I walk–I have gotten very good at compensating for my stiff and hurting joints. I limp when I get up from sitting, but then resume an almost normal walk. However, if I try to walk fast… Read more »

RJW

Thank you–I will try and earn enough to afford this–but as of right now, I have zero extra money to give. I work very hard, but it is a challenge to support my 2 kids. My son needs dental care that I am trying to save for–our vehicle needs brakes–these are not optional things but necessities. I will watch any videos and try the broth. I also pray everyday–that is free and has been very helpful in keeping me going.

Wynetta

Hello, I just find out that I have no cartilage in my knee and the bones are just rubbing together…will this help restore it

Shirley Ann Celaya

Hello, I’m 55 year’s old and I have recently have had a shot of I believe Cortisone put in my knee due to bone on bone, will that hurt me in the long run? Will the broth still work? Also should I take the medicine prescribed for swelling? Help!

Robyn Quinn

Has anyone tried this and gotten positive results?

Simone

How important are the peppercorns?

Jan

Yes, it totally worked for me. I had been doing the broth for years (two years 5 days a week) pain went away and now I still drink it (and cook with it) occasionally for prevention. The pain started when I was 55, two years later gone and I am now 70.

Alisha Missen

Hi how long woukd one have to drink this?

Jane Lenser

Bill, What do you think of using an Instant-Pot pressure cooker. I was making bone broth on the stove, but now weekly make my broth in an Instant pot, using organic chicken bones and scraps. The result is a wonderfully gelatinous flavorful broth that I have been giving to my husband to heal his gut. I did not know it could be so helpful for my knees. It is not the dark color of your first or second day, more like the third day. What is your opinion. Do you think the broth made this way has the nutrients and… Read more »

Julia

What is in the vegetable scraps that help cartilage? Electricity extremely expensive here, so long hot cooking is a problem. I once saw that a little vinegar & also salt helps to extract the calcium from bones, but what about the gelatine? What do you think?

Debi

Recipe Question: Do you recommend any particular bones of the chicken/beef? Also, vegetable scraps of all kinds (onion/potato skins, tomato/pepper cores, etc).
And you keep the crockpot on HIGH for 4-5days 24/7?
Thank you, I look forward to your reply.

Bill

Bill – I think she asked three questions….the first was which bones to use? I assume all and also the fat, gristle and tossed out cooked and uncooked meat? No pork? Fish? Shellfish? I’m not trying to be annoying, I’m curious on the answer as well. Also, I’d like to know what NOT to put into the soup from fruits & veggies that I do normally put into compost scraps pile Any fruits? Apple cores, banana peels,skins, melon skins & seeds, peach & cherry pits? What limitations on veggies? Avocado skins & pits, leafy salad stuff, mushrooms, seaweed and kimchee… Read more »

Hi my name is Gerald, I am 68 years old and I have bone on bone on both of my knee. The doctor said I need to have knee replacement,would your solution help me and how long would it take for me to get results.

Yolanda Owens

I’m trying it for my dad👍

Brittany K

Hi! – My name is Brittany, and at 29 I’ve been diagnosed with osteo arthritis in both knees. A combination of 15 years of soccer playing and the past 4 years skiing (poorly) are likely contributors, along with a bad diet. Is it too late to turn this around? My knees ache constantly and crack and make loud noises when I walk stairs or squat. It’s pretty miserable, so I’m searching for natural ways to heal with nutrition. Thanks!!

Samantha Lindblad

I have a similar story, I played soccer for 18 years. I want to be able to squat and lift again. Will this help?

Yvonne Santana

I am 51 yrs old. I have been bone on bone for more than 6 months now ,Due to lack of insurance . What can I do?

hi im 49 bone on bone and help will be good

Lynn Gavlock

I just gt home from the Doctors office…my left knee is bone on bone and the right is not far behind..I am only 44 an they do not want to do a knee replacement any time soon because of my age. They want to inject a lube into it….. Is the bone broth something you drink every day, forever? I already make it once in while for gut health but only use it occasionally…if it will help with my knees I will definitely use it more often.
Thanks.

Bill, any remedies to re-grow foot pads on the ball of the foot?

Kathy Cummings

I suddenly started having pain in my left knee a few weeks ago, so had x-rays and an MRI done Tuesday. I saw the results this morning. The doctor pointed out damage to the bone (what he called a pressure spot that could develop into a cyst or something worse), the meniscus is too thin, there is calcification of the MCL, and the tendon attached to the muscle responsible for straightening the leg is fraying, probably from rubbing against the calcified MCL. I understood the fraying tendon to be the worst part, because if it snaps, I will no longer… Read more »

Hi Bill. I’m 65. Three years ago, I got an ACL ligament injury from intensive dance practice. Have been using wheel chair and crutches. Physical therapy for a year at a hospital but doctors said that I would never heal. Two more years at an integrative clinic getting prolo therapy. It got better but later got worse. I think it’s because I have fibromyalgia and hardly sleep, Something like 45 minutes of sleep altogether in June. I did the exercise in your Youtube clip and it felt more stable. How much do I have to pay for consultation? I can… Read more »

how to know when to stop drinking the broth?

karen Salt

OK Broth questions! YAY! the bones..? not raw, correct? organic beef or poultry?, The egg shells should be washed before using the egg, so its clean when collecting them in the bag?

I get bone Broth from the health food store, is there anyway to make this broth using already made bone broth?

Lola

She meant can she she use the store bought broth as a base for your broth. Replacing the water with it.

MONTHS AGO I LOST MY MOTHER DUE TO COMPLICATIONS TO HIP REPLACEMENT. MY OPINION
( SHE WAS NOT STRONG ENOUGH FOR THIS INVASIVE OPERATION. )

Now doctors want to start replacing my Dads knees. AFTER TWO FAILED BACK OPERATIONS.

privacy act is not right. I can not even protest the loss of life of my Mother. Now after my Dad.

thanks I CAN TRY AND TELL HIM THIS BROTH IDEA. IN LOVE WITH HIS DOCTORS.

connie

Okay has been over night for his knee operation. In his 80’s. Doctors said his health was okay and able to proceed with the operation.
Have not heard a word.
In January when my mom passed from complications of hip replacement. She felt weak 3 days before her operation so they put her in the hospital to rest up for operation. After operation she died in hospital. Was that a good idea?
Thank you

linda shelansky
