I actually stopped taking dehydrated liver. 150 degrees may be high enough to kill parasites, but I feel better about just eating it cooked. You still get good nutrition from it without the worry! My favorite way to eat it is make a bacon, onion, and liver patte. It tastes yummy with carrot sticks or chips.

Here’s the recipe I use! https://autoimmunewellness.com/bacon-beef-liver-pate-with-rosemary-and-thyme/

Can you give me the recipe to make pate I have grass fed beef liver how to cook it and then the recipe for the bacon onion Pate Ty

I just dehydrate the liver until it feels hard and kind of crunchy (but not burnt!) The amount of pills you take will vary by person, but I would start off with 1-2 pills in the morning for a few days and see if you need to increase it to feel results. The info I found from the USDA database shows that there isn’t nutrient loss when cooking liver, and by dehydrating the water it actually concentrates some of the nutrients. It doesn’t include the nutrient differences for all of the nutrients here, but it shows the main ones. https://www.beyondveg.com/tu-j-l/raw-cooked/raw-cooked-2f.shtml

Also you say you take them in pill form, how many pills do you take and often?

Thanks much.

There have been some changes at Vital Proteins in the last few years and I no longer recommend the brand. I’ve updated the article to reflect this. Thanks for your comment!

Did you ever get an answer to your excellent question, Cori? I’m very curious as to the answer.

The bacteria on raw liver (and meat) comes from the slaughter plant. Nothing to do with farm vs supermarket. Feces on the animal during slaughter, sunning and evisceration get onto the meat products and contaminate. Get your facts straight. A farmer could take their animal to any plant on any day and have an employee not wash their hands at the right time, and contaminate that meat.

How is vital proteins capsules any different from eating frozen raw liver? Isn’t their process to freeze dry it?? This process doesn’t kill bacteria either.. I am confused as to what the difference is.
