Fresh raw eggs, genuinely free-range from chooks fed on grains and greens, have health-giving and healing properties. Raw egg yolk does not raise the cholesterol level; it is high in sulphur compounds that strengthen connective tissue and detoxify the liver.

Fresh raw egg yolk has long been known to enhance or rejuvenate the sexual energies that are required not only for having sex, but more importantly for creative activity in general and for physical fitness. Very fresh, raw, beaten egg white, on the other hand, has germicidal properties. A cure for leukaemia has been reported from eating only raw egg white regularly over a prolonged period.

The cell walls of lymphocytes (white blood cells) become more rigid with ageing, AIDS and viral infections, mainly due to increased cholesterol levels in cell walls. Lipids extracted from raw egg yolk have been reported to normalise rigid cell walls and fully restore immune functions. This has led to great improvements in AIDS patients treated with egg-yolk lipids.

The hens are fed on a completely vegeterian diet, comprising quality cereals - mainly wheat, maize, barley and soya. The ration is supplemented with ground calcium and vitamins 

Free range hens supplement their ration by grazing on grass out in the field, they are partial to any insects and grubs that they can scratch out of the soil

Free range hens are not fed antibiotics or animal proteins in their feed.

Hens were domesticated from jungle fowl, so like most forest dwelling birds they like shade, are relatively afraid of open spaces, perch at night (originally in trees), and are averse to the strong midsummer sun 

Free range eggs come from hens that have between fully vaccinated against Salmonellae 

Nearly 85% of all free range hens are now registered with RSPCA 'Freedom Foods' who lay down strict welfare standards for all the hens registered on the scheme. Visit the RSPCA website via the link here to check out more details of the scheme
