Ancestral SupplementsGrass Fed Beef Tracheal Cartilage Supplement with Liver, 3000mg, Immune Health and Joint Support Supplement Promotes Healing, Non-GMO, 180 Capsules

Quick update on my dog....After two weeks on the Beef Heart and about a week on the Trachea, I am beginning to see some improvement. The first thing I noticed is that her once shiny and gorgeous fur is starting to shine again. It has been dull and lifeless for the past two years. After a re-visit to the vet last week, he has confirmed that she is no longer in heart failure, though she still has an enlarged heart and some arrhythmia. Since beginning the trachea supplement, the gut-wrenching coughing from the tracheal collapse has reduced in frequency and intensity by about 50%. I was up with her every 90 minutes or so through the night for weeks; completely exhausted, running on fumes and sheer will, and she was miserable. The last two nights I've only had to get up once. I had forgotten how it feels to be rested! She is spending more time awake; much more alert and interested in life, sniffing her surroundings eagerly; more affectionate; taking longer walk abouts; and in general, starting to perk up a bit. She's not out of the woods and still has a journey ahead but she seems to be fully on board with the healing process. It's hard to believe that just three weeks ago two vets and everyone I know were telling me to let her go. Our new holistic vet is phenomenal and I am feeling that these organ supplements are really going to be the key to her regaining her health. As a vegetarian myself for the past 47 years, I am doing a hard rethink. I don't know if I'll get there but I am considering it all carefully. I had a discussion with a Mayan shaman friend on the topic of eating meat and he was clear that the energy of the animal enters and is absorbed by our bodies. From an ancestral stance, of course if makes sense. I think the degradation of animal food sources over the years made a vegetarian diet more appealing but with organic grass-fed options coming back into play, that changes a bit. My 92-year-old mother was just saying yesterday how she doesn't want to eat meat anymore because it just doesn't taste the same as it did when she was younger. Many of the residents in assisted living say the same thing. They don't know what it is, but they know there is a big difference. They got it straight from the farm back then before all the hormones and antibiotic and pesticides. I do remember as a kid that my parents always made a point of eating liver regularly and the thought and smell of it made me ill. Obviously, they were on to something. My beautiful companion literally has a new lease on life now so to "live saving" is not an exaggeration!UPDATE!!!When I first got the Heart and Trachea, I emptied a capsule into my hand just to see if my dog would go for it. She licked it right up. I wanted to try the same thing with the Living Bone. I poured the contents into my hand and held it our for her. I expected that she would she lick it up like before, but that just didn't happen. Instead, she took a little sniff and then began gently gnawing at my palm, trying to chew the bone!!! I couldn't stop laughing. It took her a minute to figure out that she couldn't chew it and she finally lapped it up. It was so funny to watch, but also quite amazing that she instantly recognized that it was indeed bone and in her doggy mind, needed to be gnawed. I thought that was quite a testament to the quality of the product. She weighs 65 pounds and due to her health issues and extreme difficulty in getting up, about two years ago I started just putting her food bowl between her two front paws and she sits to eat. When it came time for dinner, I sprinkled the Beef Heart and Trachea on top as I always do. This time, I added the Living Bone. I put her bowl between her paws and she took two bites. Suddenly, she stood up and ate the rest of her dinner standing. She's eaten every meal since standing up. I don't know what it is about the Living Bone that makes her stand up to eat but I am just blown away.We have totally transitioned to a raw diet now. About a week ago, I reported that her tracheal cough had reduced in frequency and intensity after by about 50% after starting on the Beef Trachea supplement. I am thrilled to say that it has now almost completely stopped with only a couple of minor coughing incidents per day that only last for three or four shallow coughs. Before, she was having fits that lasted from 10 to 30 minutes and shook her entire body violently. She could barely muster a very weak "arf". Now she is giving me full blown strong and hearty, and quite loud, barking. I cannot believe the turnaround in such a short period of time. I expected it to be 2-3 months before seeing a significant improvement and it's only been a couple of weeks since we started the Beef Trachea. You may remember, I was previously up with her every 1-2 hours all night. She has slept now through the night for the past 5 nights!!!She was having a great deal of weakness in her back legs from the heart issues, almost to the point of lameness. I had to use a sling to support her just to "go potty" and she did no walking except for that. She could not get up the three front steps into the house without me lifting her hind legs. We finally gave up on that and she started staying in the garage where there were no steps to navigate. She spent her days and nights there, barely moving, and only getting up with much assistance to relieve herself. She has always been an indoor/outdoor dog, out during the day and in at night. I terribly missed her presence while working in the garden and even more so in the house with me in the evenings. Since starting on the Beef Heart, her legs had very slowly been getting stronger. I was absolutely shocked the other day when we were out with the sling and she went around to the front steps and hopped up right up them like a rabbit with no help at all. We have ditched the sling!!!! Yesterday she took a long stroll around the yard, about an acre, taking in all the sights and sounds of this gorgeous spring. She hasn't walked that far in a year. She's only been on the Beef Heart 3 or 4 weeks now, so again just amazing results.Thank you again for the Living Bone gift. I know it's going to be as awesome as the others. This healing journey has been quite amazing. Of course, there has been some heart medication and insulin added, along with the change to a raw diet. I know all of that has helped and there had been some improvement. Still, it wasn't until starting on these supplements that I saw such a big jump very quickly in the overall quality of her life. She's getting stronger by the day. She is back supervising the garden and hanging in the house with me at night. I am beyond happy and grateful to have my dog back! I can never thank you enough!

I’m posting this review simultaneously under beef organs, thymus, collagen, BTC, lung, bone/marrow, and spleen, since these supplements are working in synergy. I purchased these for a friend of mine who contracted covid in March and had a severe case which almost took her life. She’s been suffering long haul covid ever since. I’m slowly nursing her back to health. Most days she sleeps, and her exhaustion is a constant symptom. She is 62, and before she contracted covid she was in good physical condition, working in retail on her feet full-time and leading a normal life.But now she's exhausted all the time. Her symptoms vary daily, sometimes changing every few hours: tingling in the arms, shortness of breath, pressure on her chest, coughing, dizziness, gastrointestinal upset, you name it and she's got it. She has her good days but they are few and far between. Her PCP up to this point hasn't been much help, not knowing what to do to help her and showing little empathy.Finally, she insisted on seeing specialists. A pulmonologist ordered x-rays of her lungs which revealed severe inflammation deep in her lungs, with water still remaining there. No wonder she has trouble breathing and feels pressure on her chest.The cardiologist told her that her heart sounded good, but he ordered a sonogram and it detected apical septal hypokinesis. She’s wearing a heart monitor for two weeks and will send the data in for analysis. Another diagnosis, another piece of the puzzle. The specialists are discovering that covid has damaged her body in a variety of ways that will take a long time to heal.BTW if you're suffering as a covid long hauler, I highly recommend that you insist on seeing specialists who will run tests to determine if there has been physical damage to your body. Don't settle for having your PCP dismiss your symptoms as something that's in your head, or simply tell you they don't know much about covid and don't know what to do for you. See a pulmonologist, cardiologist, and neurologist. Find out if you have physical damage. My friend only discovered the damage to her body because she insisted on seeing specialists and getting proper testing. The pulmonologist, especially, was well acquainted with covid cases and was most helpful.I ordered these supplements to bolster her fight as she recovers. I got the lung supplement for her lungs, thymus and BTC for her immune system, beef organs and bone/marrow for overall support, and collagen to help with her hair, which started to fall out. She also had a low reading for red blood cells, so I added spleen for her.I also decided to take the supplements myself, but switched out the lung for prostate and I’m not taking spleen.At this point, we’ve both built up to taking 3 capsules daily each of beef organs, thymus, collagen, BTC, and bone/marrow. She’s also taking 3 each of spleen and lung, and I’m taking 3 of prostate. We intend to build slowly to a full dose of 6 capsules each.After a few weeks of slowly building up the doses, my friend has had good results already. Her mood has improved, and she feels more like herself. To me, she *sounds* more like herself: stronger, more positive, and clearer. Her outlook seems to have improved and she’s feeling hopeful, which is a major step forward for her. Her general energy level is up, and she can stand for longer periods of time. She’s able to climb the stairs more easily. Her post-nasal drip has practically disappeared. Her body aches have decreased, and her morning headaches are clearing away quickly. Her insomnia has improved, and she’s sleeping soundly after she falls asleep. Her shortness of breath and chest pressure haven’t changed much but she has noticed improvement. She’s still experiencing various neurological issues: numbness, burning sensations, and an itchiness that has increased slightly. But thankfully, her dizziness has decreased.She’s enthusiastic about the supplements and it’s great to see the improvements she’s already had in such a short time.As for myself, I haven’t felt much difference, other than that my sleep quality has greatly improved. I’m finding it easy to fall asleep and sleep deeply. That alone makes this regimen worthwhile. There are also several small skin issues that are clearing up and disappearing, which is welcome news. I hope I’ll notice more results after I reach full doses and have been on this program long enough for the supplements to make a difference for me.That’s where things stand now. I’m happy she’s responding so well, things look a bit better, and most of all, she feels hopeful that someday she’ll recover. She didn’t think any improvement was possible. It’s been almost eight months since she contracted covid and she’s been struggling as a long hauler. But now she’s found something that seems to be helping. Time will tell, of course. But for now, we’ll take any small victories that come our way.The customer service has been outstanding. The owner, Brian Johnson, has contacted me several times to respond to my questions and check up on my friend’s progress. He’s always quick to respond and generous with his time. He’s the real deal.
