General Discussion / Re: Eye color change updates
« on: June 12, 2010, 01:18:36 pm »
I came across a picture of me in my raw vegan days and my eyes were extremely brown, I couldn't believe I hadn't noticed it. I can't see any noticeable brown right now, they're mainly green/turquoise-ish. They were green pre-vegetarianism. I thought this couldn't be coincidence, but I looked at some more pictures and found one from my raw vegan days where my eyes were extremely green but it was taken with flash. Guess it has to do with lightning for me.

Do you think it is worth it to relocate to the US for that reason alone?

Your diet sounds really good. Do you live in California? It's the only state where you can buy raw dairy products in the US right?

Which meat is better to use for high meat? Small cubes of lean meat? For how long should I age it before eating it? I don't want to puke on my first time so maybe I should go easy?

    Me too.  Only felt decent with it when I was non-paleo and making the kombucha myself or a trusted neighbor was.

    Have you tried not previously frozen non-sashimi grade ocean fish raw?  Could you start climbing and doing tai chi or some kind of dancing where you twist your body?

    Did you sour your own cabbage?  Did you use salt?  Did you try an E.M. that they recommend here?  High meats?  What kind of colostrum were you using?  Doesn't matter, not so paleo anyhow.

No never tried it. I don't know if I could find the motivation to do these things.

No, I was just buying organic sauerkraut. Never tried an E.M. First batch of high meat is on its way right now, never tried it before. Colostrum in powder form, both raw and pasteurized.

    Philippines, no?

    Hidefat or backfat from goats or sheep?  Whereabout in Canada are you in?  You can tell me that privately, if you don't want to tell the whole forum.

    Which fatty organs?  Brain, the suet on kidneys or the suet on heart?  I was always dehydrating no matter how much juicy fruit I ate.  Raw grass grazed cultured animal fat made me feel truly hydrated for the first time I can ever remember.  Accutane is another story.  The fat may absorb that and make more problems.  Maybe going for a hydrophilic diet as opposed to a hydrophobic diet may work better with accutane.

    I like plain liver, but I hate ground meat.  I tolerate ground meat better with liver blended into it.  It is more appealing, IMO.

    Colon cleansing kits are normally high fiber.  Fiber is hydrophilic.  It goes with water.  It does not go with fat at alllllll in my humble experience.

I don't have access to organs or suet coming from grassfed animals. I did inform myself though and its possible that I get heart and tongue from grassfed animals. How should I go about eating such a diet? Can you tell me what your high fat diet looks like for example?

   I tried kombucha again after starting raw meat.  The kombucha made me feel all foggy.  I think it gave me an internal yeast infestation too.  Kickstart the bacteria with highmeats, or take an E.M. supplement.

    I think klowcarb may be right.  When you start this diet, you have to go very low carb, otherwise it won't work the same in the colon.  I know one small bit of carb with red meat sets my system off kilter for a little bit.  I've read this happening to other people too.  

    Maybe you should start instincto, not even thinking, just smell things till you find something your nose enjoys, then eat that alone until you are satisfied.  Then maybe your digestion won't be so confused.

    What are you eating now?  I ate a lot of fiber regularly before I started RAF.  I switched directly to 100% RAF (high fat grass grazed).  PRIOR to trying RAF I was constipated for years.  Following a strict RAF diet I have never experienced bowel problems again.    

    Raw grass grazed kefir is good when you need to heal your veg damaged gut.  Were you vegan for long?

    I remember a Rasta girl, strict veg, raw vegan, hadn't pooped in four months, and practically all she ate was super sweet fruit.  She finally had colonics.  It was difficult getting out all those "rocks" from her colon.  They cut her.  Eventually she turned to fish, and it worked much better for her health.

I used to drink kombucha in the past, didn't feel any particular benefits from it and I had it daily.

My nose enjoys raw meat and fruits basically almost all the time. I loved the smell of fish too but don't eat it anymore because I found out I had very high levels of mercury from a hair mineral analysis. Fwiw: I am very very rarely constipated when I have a decent amount of fiber in my diet. The times where I have flair ups is when I don't eat much fiber at all in one day, ie: eating eggs, fruits and meats. And then I put too much strain when I go. Doing this has aggravated my hemorrhoids, most likely because I don't have enough fat to help. Also sedentary lifestyle (doing more exercise now).

I was never truly vegan as I ate honey, but I had no other animal products for about 2 or 3 months before I decided to re-implement some cheese that wasn't raw. I was vegetarian for about 6 months. I was taking probiotic supplements or colostrum near the end, and lots of sauerkraut after that.

   Who lives in Thailand?  

    Many ground beefs are lean.  Suet isn't the only raw animal fat.  There's grass grazed cultured butter, grass grazed beef marrow, hide or backfat, brain and a few more.  What is highland liver?  I think 80% of your calories should be fat.  

    Cheese is not a fat, unless it is made 100% of butter.  On the primal diet it is recommended to never eat cheese alone.  That you have to eat an equal size portion of fat with it.  Cheese is not considered a food in primal diet.  It is considered a supplement.  It is considered too dry and lacking in moisture to be a food.  Do not eat cheese without fat.

    I know I couldn't handle three cups of apple juice a day, not even one.  If you want to fast from food and heal that way, maybe you could try a green juice and raw egg fast.  I know either one of those foods makes me go to the bathroom and doesn't inflame nor rip anything.  Aajonus also recommends if you want to fast to use those two rather than fruit, water or fruit juices.  In my Living Food LifestyleTM training too, we were taught never to waterfast nor juice fast.  We also never went all fruit for more than a day per week.

  

goodsamaritan lives in Thailand AFAIK.

My ground beef is indeed lean. I live in Canada, there is no such thing as a commercially available grass-grazed raw butter. There are also no farmers to my knowledge anywhere near in my town who could offer me raw animal products, and from grassfed cows would be even harder to find. I have stopped eating cheese, so this is good to know, but when I ate it I always ate it with salmon before.

I pretty much eat by instinct already, and my instincts don't tell me to consume 80% calories from fat... in fact I rarely ever feel like eating a fattening food. I was never really appealed by fat. I will never crave an avocado or a fatty organ. On the other hand, I crave juiy fruits all the time. Most likely because I am very dehydrated. I started a round of accutane a few weeks ago, combined with high percentage raw meat, low fat diet and my current water source being Distilled water... makes sense that I would crave those.

What I'm thinking about doing is mixing up some Liver in my ground beef in order to make it easier to get some liver down since I don't find it appealing at all. I don't dislike it but just don't particularly feel like eating it by itself. I'm also going to go fill up some bottles at a spring I just found out about. That water should be much more hydrating.

Also, the colon cleansing kit that I have specifically mentions fasting on liquids only for best results. Any solid food would reduce its cleansing abilities greatly. If I take up the habit of fasting, then yes I think it makes more sense to use eggs and greens.


You need to give high fat zero carb a chance. You will not be passing big frequent poops like you are used to. But you will never adapt otherwise.

Yeah maybe, I made the mistake of eating zero carb but it wasn't high fat and it made me constipated. As it is, I need a small amount of fiber there is no doubt in my mind. I would like to experiment with the diet but the high fat part is very difficult to apply for me. My diet contains very very little fat and I have no idea how to go about changing it, other than using liver. I don't think I want to be eating liver every day though, or it being my main source of fat.

Well, I didn't eat any fiber at all yesterday, and today when I woke up I had the toughest to pass stool I have ever had. Coincidentally it was the bloodiest I've ever had too. In my vegan days, I used to eat a lot of fiber from fruits and veggies as well as drink a lot of water, and didn't have problems with hemorrhoids. I think the smartest thing would be to re-implement fiber slowly and see how much is needed for me to be able to pass smooth stools that aren't bloody, and keep it to a strict minimum.

Very good advice everyone. I will experiment with all of it and try to commit to a 100% raw paleo diet. I have a feeling this is going to help a lot. I have a rebounder also at home but never use it. I'm thinking it would help a lot, so I'll implement that daily.

Also, I eat a lot of sea salt. I put it in my water, on my meat, eat it with eggs, put it in vegetable juice... really eat a lot of it. Salt is dehydrating right? Should I try cutting it out?

Yes, Hydratation may be a problem. You see, I've been drinking Distilled water for close to a year now. I put some celtic sea salt in it, and have tried a panoply of different products to add-in but don't find the water to be hydrating no matter what. Also, organic fruit here is very expensive so I can't eat as much as you probably can in Thailand. Also don't have access to young coconuts. Raw fats is another problem. I do eat a decent amount of ground beef (500g a day on average), but don't have access to suet for example. The only organ from a grassfed animal that I have access to is bison or highland liver, but don't quite like the taste of it. How much raw fat should I consume a day? I eat some raw cheese but not on a daily basis... I don't think I have much raw fat in my diet at all, so it could definitely be something to experiment with.

As for colon cleansing, I've had a high quality colon cleansing kit on hand for a while now. I've been scared to fast on apple juice for 3 days though. I've never fasted, and generally feel quite weak when I don't eat for a while. I tend to eat 3 to 4 meals a day. I was also worried that all the good bacteria in my colon would just get flushed out. I decided I'd give it a try though because I've ate quite unhealthy when I was traveling and feel the need to cleanse it thoroughly right now. If it helps my hemorrhoid problems, all the better.

Health / Fiber or no fiber? Hemorrhoid problems.
« on: January 24, 2010, 07:24:20 am »
Well, after being fine on a low fiber diet (mostly raw meat, vegetable juices, eggs and a good amount of fruit) my hemorrhoids problems have resurged. After I woke up and drank my usual glass of water today, I've had severe 'deep' pain coming from my rectum/anus that wouldn't go away. There has been blood in my stools for many months also. There wasn't any visible blood in my stools today, but it hurt when trying to get them out and there was a little bit of blood on the toilet paper afterwards.

I decided to do some research on hemorrhoids afterwards and it is conventional knowledge that a low fiber diet is the main cause of hemorrhoids. Where do you guys stand on this topic? Most of you have a very low to no fiber diet right? Has anyone on raw paleo every experienced this problem? I am not completely raw paleo, as I still do eat some sprouted bread here in there and a decent amount of cooked food for social reasons. I also lead a sedentary lifestyle, having a desktop job and being on the computer 12 hours a day often times does not help.

I am definitely going to exercise more, but what I'm wondering is if I should try to get more fiber into my diet? Also, is there no fiber in meat at all?

I did a search and didn't find anything very relevant. If you don't want to rehash - maybe just tell me if I should worry about anything? Is it in fact good to be acidic? So much controversial information we never know.

Well, anyhow, I wasn't eating chicken for the past 8 months and still had acne, so it's definitely not related. I did catch a cold right after eating the raw chicken though.

There is something that I've been considering a lot today. When I was on a vegan diet, my body was slightly more alkaline. I barely ever had acne. I drank alkaline water and ate a lot of fruits/veggies. I realize that my acne might be coming from my very acidic diet right now. I will attempt to get good pH levels and see if that helps my skin at all - while following a strict raw paleo diet. I'm actually optimistic this will cause great change in my skin.

I will do a fast/full body detox before that as well using the blessedherbs kit.

Well from the looks of it I could be allergic to pretty much anything in one way or another? I can't just avoid all foods except meat can I? It seems logical to me that I should pass some tests to see what I am allergic to instead of doing guesswork because it could be just about anything from what you guys are telling me.

Health / RAF and pH levels
« on: December 07, 2009, 09:50:37 am »
Since getting into RAF, I've noticed that my urine is very yellow. I've tested my pH and it's always acidic. Do you guys worry at all about the pH levels of your body? Is there anything you do to keep good balance? I've restarted drinking highly alkaline distilled water to be sure that high % meat is not causing too much acidity in my body... it seems the fruits and veggies alone don't help much.

Dissident, my 6 year old boy is allergic to any form of the species chicken.  Whether organic, fertilized egg or home grown chickens.

So we have switched to duck eggs and duck meat.

Maybe you are allergic to chicken too?

Highly doubt that. I ate raw chicken breast just a few days ago, and although I caught a cold soon after I didn't have any problems with it. I've been eating eggs all my life and never really had any problems from it. I would think if I was allergic it would show not only through skin would it?
