What do you think of this - encapsulating adrenal glands?

[Metasequoia]

I had this light bulb moment just now! I was looking at Dr. Ron's adrenal supp & it's soooo expensive!
Then I thought, women have their placentas encapsulated after birth, so what if I got a raw adrenal gland from a local grass-fed cow & had it encapsulated just like a placenta?!

What do you think?? I'm REALLY needing maximum adrenal support right now. Would there be any issue with "too much" in each capsule?

We had a thread along these line a while back. Let me go find it as it may be helpful. I successfully dried, ground and encapsulated liver, but in the end I found I just love eating liver and don't have the need to lake pills to get it in me.

Still I would love to hear more.

Awesome, thanks Mama!

I never knew how to freeze dry something - what is the benefit to freezing before dehydrating?

I think I'll dry at 117 since that's the magic number for nuts/seeds to stay raw. I don't want to cook the glands, just dry. I've read that it only takes 7-8 hours to dehydrate a whole placenta - I wonder how high a temp these people are drying it?

I almost think I could just puree the adrenals & spoon the goop into capsules and then freeze them, but I might have an issue with expansion & capsule breakage.

I'm totally doing this. I just ordered a beef share this week & I just wrote back & asked if I could get a bunch of adrenal glands.

I wonder how many I can safely take a day? It'll be weird not knowing how much (mg) is in each capsule....

I'm okay with eating raw liver (which makes me wonder why I wouldn't be okay with raw adrenal glands??) but maybe if this turns out to be pretty easy, I'll make a ton of liver pills. I have liver out the wazoo.
