Your background is impressive! Wonderful to have had such experiences, even if you choose a different path for the present & future. I'm sure you'll get a lot of good info and support here.
You know you're an RPDer when non-rawist acquaintances, such as doctors etc., unsubtly and constantly go out of their way to tempt you with foods banned on your diet, such as alcohol, coffee, pasteurised dairy etc..
Hey all, so I've been raw for around 7 months but like most I was sucked into the raw vegan movement. I didn't become a raw vegan for ethical reasons, strictly for health issues. I'm just turning 20, and for the last 3 years I've suffered from crazy random bouts of bad health. Included symptoms:
Headaches
Lower Abdominal Pain
Upper Right Abdominal Pain
Lower Back Pain
Upper Back Pain
Acid Reflux
Heart Burn
Stiff Necks
Swollen Lymph Glands
Floaters in Eyes
Neurological Double Vision
Constipation
Pale Skin
Major Anxiety Emotion Issues
Obstructed Bile Flow
Dizzyness/Vertigo
Congested Sinus's
Temporary Bouts of Jaundice
Black Circles Under Eyes
Freezing Hands and Feet
Appendicitis
Severe Mental Disturbances, Confusion, Rage, Tunnel Vision, Speech Difficulties
Going raw helped A LOT of these problems at first. Then they began to return for some reason. I cant even make a solid statement into what I think is going on with me any more. I'm getting to the point where I feel my body is ready to begin major repairs but it just feels like it doesn't have the tools for that. I started off high fat raw vegan, and there is some thing about the raw fats us raw vegans consume that is really...off. All the nuts and oils actually caused me to have stiff necks, head aches, confusion. I noticed when I went to a raw vegan potluck, a lot of the raw vegans had these strange blank confused looks in their eyes. And many of them including my self at times seem to make very unquardinated conversation. Maybe it's just me but some thing was very off about every thing.
But many of you may not realize that there is in fact a huge split happening among the raw vegan community. You see Dr Doug Graham's book 80/10/10 has managed to sink in and it's become the low fat bible of so many failing raw vegans. I'm sure some of you have witnessed Durianrider running his big mouth on you tube, he is also preaching what Doug Graham started. His theories goes as following, get 80 percent of your calories from carbs, 10 percent from fats and 10 percent from proteins. Literally you're supposed to eat any where between 2000 and 4000 calories of fruit a day. It seems to be working great for some, but not me like was promised.
Any way, enough ranting I'm here because my mind is open and I'm looking for true healing of my body. Personally, I don't want to be skinny like durianrider, it DOESN'T FEEL NORMAL to have such a low weight. I'm 19 years old and 119lbs at 5'8. Granted, I'm still strong I still work out and my muscles seem to be alright. But I want to be my normal weight again, 140lbs made me VERY comfortable. I figure animal foods and exercise will be able to help me with that, I hope any way. By the way I'm not basing the raw vegans high fat or low fat, for some it obviously works great for. I don't think my body is formatted that way. I do love fruits though, lol.
So, hello every one! I'm Dameon! ^_^
My understanding, as little as that may be, the hunters, who were mostly the men, at the site of the kill may have drank the blood, eaten the heart, the liver, some fat, whatever they needed after a tough hunt, but then brought (or dragged) the bulk home to the families.
Tricky language - 3 or more is Inuit, 1 or 2 is Inuk.
The actor would have done what was in the script, but if they ate their food on the spot (the original fast food?), what did their wives and children eat?
I know that some say paleo people would've ate mostly sprouted or soaked nuts and seeds, but I find black walnuts that aren't sprouted or soaked at all. Their on the floor dry by themselves. I'm sure paleo people would've eaten many dry nuts. Whether soaking lowers toxin levels or not, doesn't it lower nutrition too?
What are EMs?
I've been dissolving a pinch of sea salt in distilled water w/ moonlight or diffused sunlight for drinking... Curious about this "gut-friendly" water... I assume your drinking the alkalized water? How's that going for you?
Also, how large / expensive is the equipment you use?
