General Discussion / Just Reminiscing
« on: March 28, 2013, 07:46:36 pm »
Had some amazing beef yesterday.  Haven't had beef for a few months.  Been eating a lot of lamb and salmon.  So this was ground sirloin slowly heated in the oven (not above 90 degrees) with bone marrow melted on top near the end with a little sea-salt.  DELICIOUS.  Sat really well. Probably had almost half pound.  I was just sitting there remembering the feeling that I would have with 1/2 pound of COOKED hamburger in my stomach.  I was just curious if anyone ever gets that smile on their face with smooth burning raw meat knowing that it's so easy in the stomach and digestion =)  It's good to remember such things.

Health / Kidney cleansing?
« on: March 11, 2013, 05:34:58 am »
What do we think about this one?  VEGAN diet is not an option.  Question is how to cleanse and nourish the kidneys to decongest them?  Basically on RPD right now.  A few cooked vegetables at night.  Meats include salmon and lamb.  raw butter, coconut oil, olive oil, soon other fish.  Veggie juice.  And fruit.  MMM.  Any special ideas?  I may use dr. schulze detox tea.

General Discussion / Seafood sourcing?
« on: March 04, 2013, 07:23:55 pm »
Hey guys,

My body tends to like fresh seafood.  Especially in the spring and summer.  Especially when raw =).  Problem is; I live in Indiana.  There are a few quality sushi places.  I get mass amounts of alaskan salmon that is amazing.  How else do you guys go about getting stuff in bulk?  Order online?  I don't really feel like going to restaurants all the time or markets.  Ideas?

General Discussion / Enzymes versus Denaturing?
« on: March 03, 2013, 09:26:08 am »
Hey guys,

In fresh, frozen, wild-caught meats; is the biggest issue with "cooking" the destruction of living enzymes as in fresh fruits and vegetables OR the denaturing of proteins/fats?  Maybe it's both.  I have been warming up my salmon in hot water.  It tenderizes it and makes it a lot easier to digest.  The water temp never goes over 120F.  I wouldn't mind it a little hotter and I don't think it really affects the quality of the protein/fat but I didn't know if the enzymes destruction was an issue.

Health / Kidney cleansing?
« on: November 19, 2012, 01:35:31 am »
Hey guys,

Trying to do some mild kidney cleansing lately.  Anybody know some fairly gentle methods?  Currently I am just using a few herbs in tincture form and doing some reflexology on the feet.  Diet suggestions?  I need protein right now for healing I just don't want to overload the kidneys either.  I feel that rare/raw meat does not have the same effect as in bogging down the organs as fried/cooked stuff.

General Discussion / Adrenals and raw fish?
« on: November 06, 2012, 06:48:12 am »
Hey guys been a while,

Healing up my adrenals/digestion/brain/energy are my current goals and I have come to realize that fatty fish really vibes with me right now.  Things like sardines, salmon, etc.  I haven't tried mackerel yet.  So here is the kicker.  I live in the midwest.  The only fresh fish I feel comfortable eating is atlantic salmon from some people I trust.  I get good quality tinned smoked sardines which sit really well.  There is a fish market/oyster bar around here that sells high-quality oysters among other fish (bass, trout, whitefish, etc) but they are all SUPER EXPENSIVE. Other than that, I have access to good quality lamb, elk, and bison. Any thoughts?

General Discussion / BIson/ELK?
« on: October 15, 2012, 07:08:34 am »
Hey guys,

Meat eating is increasing a little bit seeing as winter is coming.  Stocking up on good quality meat for the season.  Found a local supplier of grass fed/finished buffalo and elk meat.  Mainly got ground meats, livers from the bison, some stew meats, roasts, etc.  Only a few steaks as they were extremely pricey.  All the stuff has been frozen but is fresh otherwise.  Do we think it is safe to eat raw/rare?  I haven't been on here for a while and I would like to increase the meats over the winter without overcooking stuff or taking unnecessary risks.  I also want to contact the guy again if he has stuff like bone marrow and other organs.  I know that elk and bison are both very lean and I am wondering how that will sit with me.  As for now my fat sources include raw butter, raw olives/olive oil, raw coconut oil, some dehydrated nuts every now and then, and some crock pot meals.  I want to find a source for ground lamb as that is a meat that really agrees with me and can be eaten very rare as well but is a bit fattier.  Ideas?

General Discussion / Sardines, other seafood, etc
« on: September 13, 2012, 11:17:21 pm »
Sardines really sit well with me lately.  Currently I get the wild-caught tinned sardines that are lightly smoked and in a little EVOO.  These seem to sit well.  I found a few places that offer fresh wild-caught frozen (raw) I think in big bags of maybe 5 pounds.  Do we think these are safe to consume raw?  Or otherwise looking for good options for fresh seafood when the markets in my area do not carry it really whatsoever.  Other than that it appears to be good quality red-meats, poultry, eggs, and bone-broth as my winter proteins.

General Discussion / Staying RAW in Winter?
« on: August 11, 2012, 07:31:05 pm »
Hey guys,

Raw seems a lot easier to me during the summer.  Lots of fruits, fresh veggies, plant fats, etc.  As fall and winter are rolling in I can see me wanting more and more cooked foods, etc.  For those staying fairly high-raw, what are some things you do to stay warm in the winter?  Especially concerning food.

General Discussion / Broth Nutrition?
« on: July 31, 2012, 12:08:03 am »
Ever evolving with the diet.  I don't plan on dropping out root veggies or steamed veggies anytime soon but after a lot of crock-potting, I have a question. 

-Do we think cooking vegetables in a crock-pot or other low and slow method for a few hours and then drinking the broth and throwing out the vegetables provides the calories, sugar, minerals, and nutrition from those vegetables in an easier to digest format?

 I feel like this is probably true.  When I use things like carrots, parsnips, etc my broth always tastes very sweet.  I personally think some fiber is good for me, but I currently eat a lot of fruit right now so I don't think the vegetable fiber is that important.  What you guys think?

General Discussion / Bison/ELK/?
« on: July 23, 2012, 06:31:39 pm »
Hey guys,

Probably found a clean local source for bison, and elk.  These generally good?  I'm trying to find some mainstays over the winter as i know i will be indulging in more animal foods but i don't want to get stuck in a rut with only a few foods.

General Discussion / Regular Mainstays?
« on: July 09, 2012, 05:45:03 am »
Ok guys.  Eggs are iffy for me at the moment.  Pretty sure i was eating maybe 4-5 a day for about a month developed an intolerance or whatever.  Anyways, trying to find more basics to round out the diet.  These are just proteins I'm looking for.  Currently:

-salmon sashimi (delicious)
-raw eggs maybe twice a week
-beef liver here and there
-crock-pot chicken/turkey
-avocados sit very good with me
-raw nuts are ok every once in awhile

Honestly, my body seems to be in cleansing mode and getting by with not too much animal foods but it still wants some.  I guess maybe getting some other types of seafood and red meat.  Steak is sounding pretty good.  I haven't experimented much with the red meat except for liver and some bone marrow here and there.  Do you usually eat bone marrow by itself or with a muscle meat?  What cuts of red meat are good mainstays?

General Discussion / Best Location for a Home?
« on: July 06, 2012, 05:46:09 am »
Where would you guys live if you could choose the best place for optimal diet/lifestyle?  Factors would include:

-long growing season
-access to clean air/water
-clean wild fish/game
-mass of farmers markets
-good atmosphere in general

On a side note: what do we think about eating wild game raw?  As in like deer, wild boar, rabbit, squirrel, fish, waterfowl, etc.

General Discussion / Road Foods?
« on: July 03, 2012, 12:55:41 am »
What do we think about good travel foods?  The downside to the healthy diet is that fresh food goes bad quickly =)  Planning a few road trips in the near future.  Open to ideas for what to bring.  So far the list looks as such.  I will have a cooler.

-eggs
-raw soaked nut butter
-fresh jerky
-fresh fruits
-avocados
-maybe giant batch of cooked veggies
-sardines


What you guys use?  Thoughts on dehydrated fruits and veggies (zucchini, potato chips, etc)?

General Discussion / Natural Disaster?
« on: July 01, 2012, 11:16:26 pm »
Natural disaster hit my area.  Had no power for 2 1/2 days.  Kept stuff on ice best as i could but frozen atlantic caught salmon thawed out.  Probably 10-12 filets.  I don't think refreeze is a good option.  They are in the fridge currently.  I'll probably eat a few sashimi style in the next few days but no way i will eat all of them.  Any ideas?  Best i got is that my brother eats cooked salmon a lot cooked in skillet.  I'm thinking about just grilling/baking most of them and then freezing them so he can just reheat later.

Exercise / Bodybuilding / best muscle gaining program?
« on: June 27, 2012, 10:39:52 pm »
Hey guys,

Recovering from probably lyme, adrenal issues, toxic overload, etc.  Not much spare energy in the tank.  Trying to regain some of my muscle weight from before i was ill.  Lifting heavy weights is out of the question as my nervous system needs resting.  So basically I'm using bodyweight training, good nutrition, and loads of rest, with some qigong to facilitate recovery.  Any ideas on eating plans, regimes, etc?

General Discussion / Who is to blame?
« on: June 26, 2012, 08:47:49 pm »
As i crack open a few raw eggs for breakfast I think about something that pops up in my mind a lot.  Who is to blame for the terrible diet/lifestyle most people in America maintain?  How did "Good" food become "gross?" How did "normal, natural" food become only something "health nuts" eat?  It just seems so backwards to me.  God/nature created all of the real food, but we have been taught to reject it.  I don't think there is a real "answer" to this question but just wanted to see some viewpoints.

For me, I think there is no one group to blame.  I think human's are gullible animals that can be programmed by other human beings.  Humans such as those that work for food corporations, pharmaceuticals, some governments, religious institutions, etc.  They know how to play tricks on people.  Also, I think we are creatures of habit and convenience.  Unfortunately, in America, most people relay their own responsibility for their health into the hands of corrupt upper class.  So i guess i blame people up top doing the programming primarily, but also ourselves for not listening to God and our inner voice about what is "good" and what is "not good."

General Discussion / High calorie foods?
« on: June 12, 2012, 01:20:55 am »
Hey guys,

Doing a lot of healing/cleansing.  Body going through a lot of calories.  Trying to stick with everything but having trouble finding healthy high-calorie snacks for when I'm needing a lot of fuel.  So far, good options seem like

-raw nut butters
-raw eggs
-avocados/other fats
-steamed root veggies with good fats

My body does not need any more protein and i can only do so much with the rare animal foods.

Any favorites?

General Discussion / Not used to raw animal products?
« on: June 09, 2012, 02:45:42 am »
Hey guys,

I have noticed that my system seems somewhat confused with the raw animal products.  Today i have had some bone marrow, lightly cooked "liver/heart/tongue/ground beef" mixture, and some raw liver blended with some veggies.  Oh, and a good amount of raw sauerkraut.  Anyways, I end up craving things like Avocados, tortilla chips, carbs, nut butters, etc.  High calorie comfort foods.  So basically i have 2 theories here.

1. My system is taking awhile to get used to the raw animal foods and likes having some mush in there with it so not by itself

2.  Some bug die-off or cravings caused by eating these foods and not getting slowed down so much during transit.

Anybody else have experience with this?  Seems like I had to stop myself from mowing through a bag of chips or whatever.  I am also undergoing chiropractic treatments which are causing healing reactions so I think whatever bugs i may have in my system are unhappy anyways.  It is also possible i just need more carbs in general right now as my body tries to heal itself.

General Discussion / Digesting salmon skin/non ground meats?
« on: June 05, 2012, 01:43:48 am »
I don't know if i'm just not used to it yet or what but i don't even try to eat things like the raw skin off of salmon or try to chew down a raw steak.  I guess i just don't understand how these things digest easily in your system.

Health / Er...Digestion?
« on: June 01, 2012, 10:56:52 pm »
Been using a nutribullet to blend veggies and salads to drink.  Dramatic increase in fiber.  Having difficulty digesting it i think.  Sticking the system up.  I know i digest soft cooked veggies with fats better.  Maybe mixing a little fat with the salads will help.  Anyways, trying to stick with the raw food primarily but its tough with the digestive issues.  My body doesn't seem to like too high amounts of the raw meats yet.  Any ideas?

General Discussion / Base Temperature/Pulse
« on: May 31, 2012, 12:18:27 am »
Interesting phenomenon.  I think ray peat does this as well but the guy i learned it from was Josh rubin east west healing.  Anyways, they use temperature and pulse to test foods and eating habits.  You take your temp before you eat something or before you exercise.  Then you take your temp after you eat or exercise.  Drops mean drops in metabolic activity and should be avoided or can mean intolerance.  For instance i have wondered if i have been eating way too many eggs lately.  Did the temp test and dropped .8 degrees after a sip.  Just had some lightly steamed turnips and brocolli with a little raw olive oil and sea salt and back up at 98.6  Basically the premise is that sometimes it doesn't matter how clean you are eating.  I might eat raw eggs and get sick.  You might eat raw eggs and feel amazing.  I found this true last night as well.  Ate some rare red meat with avocado and temp shot up.  This varies depending on activity levels, time of day, season, climate, etc.  They have used it to fix metabolic abnormalities, hormonal issues, adrenal health, etc.  I plan on using these tools to basically just see which foods my body likes right now.  I figure after awhile i will intuitively know.  It seems that usually its some of the foods we eat every day or do not want to give up that don't agree with us.  EG: gluten, dairy, eggs, etc

Thoughts?

General Discussion / Digestion times?
« on: May 30, 2012, 04:32:17 am »
This has probably been answered somewhere but i was curious on average digestion times of common RPD foods.  I'm trying to fix my digestive system and trying to follow food combining and things like that.  I don't eat all raw meat or anything yet but i know digestion is way quicker that way.  I also know mono-meals seem to be the easiest for your body to process.  So the things i eat in question are:

-rare/raw beef (ground, liver, heart, steaks, etc)
-raw marrow
-raw butter
-raw eggs
-raw nut butters
-raw/rare salmon sashimi
-avocado
-olive oil
-coconut oil

Don't feel like you have to answer them all =)

Health / Gallstone program too good?
« on: May 26, 2012, 09:26:29 pm »
Hey guys,

Been doing a few liver flushes here and there.  My program this past week leading up to a flush last night included:

-twice daily doses of chanca piedra "stone breaker" herb
-beet/dandelion/spinach smoothie every morning
-lots of raw eggs
-high raw, green foods
-lots of apples

I didn't seem to pass many stones yet (maybe on the way).  So my question is, do you guys think it's possible that i'm just breaking down the stones very effectively with all of the things i am doing already?  Some people out there seem to get over the gallbladder/liver stone issue without doing big flushes.  What you guys think?

Health / Genetic Glitches, Sulfation, Methylation, etc?
« on: May 26, 2012, 03:45:59 am »
Hey guys,

In chronic illness circles you often hear about things like genetic glitches, issues with sulfation, methylation, etc.  Basically, your organs (primarily liver) can't detoxify effectively.  Some say it is a genetics problem (I have my doubts).  Anyways, they usually treat it with things like b12, folate, etc.  Does anybody know much about this topic?  My intuition tells me that in most cases it is just a gunked up liver/kidneys/colon that can no longer process toxins like it should and doesn't have the right nutrients to help get it moving again.  Eating good quality foods including beets, dandelion, raw liver, raw eggs yolk, and a wide variety of other fruits, vegetables, and meats should do the trick, no?

-Joe
