Reporting again from my vacation in Palawan.

Yesterday morning we of course had fruits in the morning.
Papaya, coconut, guyabano
and I tasted one raw duck egg we bought at the market the previous day... very fresh... just like the ones laid by our ducks at home.

At lunch I had ordered and fetched ocean crabs (alimasag)... the other day it was my first time to see them alive, even if weak.  Now I saw them in a cage by the sea shore and they were alive and running fast.  Whoa!  I never knew these alimasag ran as fast as those tiny ghost crabs.  I bought 2 kilos of these alimasag and I ate 2 pieces... a male and a female alimasag.  I asked the kids whether I would bash them with the blunt side of my knife or just chop them "Jedi Style" with the sharp side.  My mother in law said use the sharp side to be humanitarian about it and not allow the poor creatures to suffer.

Live ocean crabs (alimasag)... tasty stuff... just a little tedious at the small claws.

In the mid afternoon I just had to taste my palawan born and fed beef sirloin.  Fat tasted good.  The meat reminds of the traditional christmas ham I used to eat in my SAD days.

In the evening, the farming school students celebrated with my wife and our family so we were sitting at the presidential table so I had to have socials with them and ate 2 pieces of barbecued chicken.  After which I scooted over to the kitchen and opened up a small ripe organic papaya hoping to digest the cooked food completely.  For the newbies... cooked proteins putrefies.

Still on vacation in Palawan in the organic farm.

At breakfast:

Organic Papaya my kids picked from the tree and coconut juice and coconut meat also from this farm.

This morning we went to the nearby local small market and I got to buy some things and ate:

At the beach around 10am, 2 pieces ocean caught reddish / purplish prawns.

At lunch 1 ocean crab / ALIMASAG.  First time I ever saw and bought LIVE ALIMASAG... they are usually dead and iced in Manila.  First time I ever ate this raw too because it is fresh and alive.

In this province of Palawan, the notion of people is if you sell sea food on ice, it is NO LONGER FRESH, so sea food is sold WITHOUT ICE as a rule to prove its freshness.

Other snacks around the day was jack fruit, more papaya, more coconuts for juice and meat, guyabano (graviola), singkamas (I don't know what this is in english)

I feel like I'm in the garden of eating... pig out everyday.

My family is in Palawan Philippines beginning today.  But because of internet technology, I have a connection via cellular 3G broadband.  And even though I'm at a remote organic farm in Palawan, we have internet.  Which means I get to keep up with my employees working in the office.  The boss gets to chat with them.

This morning we arrived around 10am in Puerto Princessa city, the capital of Palawan province.

We went to the big market to see the spectacular array of fresh ocean food they have there, never been frozen.

We immediately got organic coconut vinegar for 6 pesos for a small bottle.

I got the Palawan type of sea weed like grapes, different from the ones we get in Manila for 15 pesos per plate.  I got 5 plates.

I got 3/4 kilo of live ocean shrimps for P 180.

I got newly put in the plastic fresh this morning sea urchins.  For P 20 per little plastic bag.  They had live ones there, but I didn't know how to open them up and clean them.

We all went to the restaurant around 11:30am with my wife, my kids and other Palawan locals.  They did not mind what I was having for lunch and they also ate some of my stuff.  This apparently is normal fare in Palawan where you can get everything fresh and organic.  The waiter even asked me courteously if they should remove the shells from my live shrimp.  I said yes and they unshelled my live shrimps and presented it in a nice plate presentation which I took a picture of !!!  How's that for service?

When we arrived in the organic farm, where we are staying, for refreshments they served us freshly picked coconuts, fresh from the tree jack fruit, fresh from the tree papaya.  Ah refreshing.

I'm in tropical paleo paradise right now.

-------------

I just realized how nature spoiled the people are in this province.  The organic farm director tells me he doesn't like the taste of fish that has been put in an ice chest!

(Because when he wants fresh fish, he drives over to the local fisherman or local market and gets it freshly caught, never been iced.)

Many people can be saved.

I just came from a board of directors meeting and my Christmas gift to all my fellow board members was the book by Henry Bieler MD: Food is your Best Medicine with a DVD of Food Matters http://www.tinyurl.com/foodmatters with my web development business card that also says Manggagamot (Filipino Traditional Healer): http://www.curemanual.com

This evening beside me, his wife I helped last year begin her natural way of healing atherosclerosis.  She started on raw vegan diet... now has switched to raw paleo by adding fertilized eggs... she's just about ready to add more raw animal foods... I volunteered that I would sit down with them again and teach his wife this time to eat raw animal foods and we can go to market together and get a meal so I can demonstrate to them.

I think humans learn by doing, by mimicking others, just hearing or reading about raw paleo diet is one thing, but actually being seated in front of a friend, a live human being eating raw animal foods with you and enjoying it must be inspiring for them. 

A lady I did this to was amazed at my small children eating raw fish and raw eggs... gee... that seemed special to her... but it made her day... and gave her the confidence to go raw. 

I concur with Kristelle's personal observation.
As a rule I only eat my big raw animal food meal only once per day, usually lunch time.

The rest of the day, I'm just on hydrating fruits for snacks.

My fruits are not sugar bombs... I live in the tropics so our fruits are hydrating (coconuts, watermelons), local, organic, in season... and every month there is always a new set of fruits in season... and helps in digestion (e.g. papaya, pineapple)... and is a source of raw fat (coconut meat).

I read Henry Bieler's Food is your Best Medicine (1965) and he observes that there are types of people who do well in eating lots and lots of animal foods.  I'm probably not one of those people at this point in my life.

Do limes differ in taste that much from lemons?
I don't see limes in our stores.

Aajonus has shared his experience in his book about non-organic animal liver.  He suggests to eat only from organic animals.

I did get food poisoning from a chicken liver 2 weeks ago.  But I have not gotten food poisoning from goat and beef liver yet.

Last night it was dinner time and I happened to be at the Farmer's market so I bought 1/3 kilo of freshly killed raw sirloin beef and asked the butcher to slice it in small bite size pieces. 

I went to the dining area.  Many people bring their raw fish or animal from the market to the restaurants for cooking. I got a plate and started eating with a fork.

Raw Paleo saves on money for cooking and eliminates pollution from cooking and condiments.

Don't let that 1 case of food poisoning scare you.

This whole year I can count that I puked out on dirty mussels, dirty oysters and probably the chicken liver a few days ago.

My wife is on a primarily cooked diet and she's suffered 3 severe food poisonings this year.

I also experienced the incompatibility of raw food with cooked food in the same meal.  For example, rice does not go well with raw eggs or raw beef.

My children are primarily cooked food eaters.  But they themselves have discovered that raw animal food does not mix well with the cooked starches.  So when they have a raw egg meal... or any raw animal meal... it is just that one single food... no food combining whatsoever.

I eased into raw animal foods starting with wai diet because eggs and fish were easy raw because culturally we are exposed to sashimi (I'm grossed out at cooked salmon and cooked tuna).  But I followed Tyler's advice on the gradual reduction of cooking land animals... it must have taken me 1 to 2 months to fully adjust to not being grossed out at raw land animal food.  A few more months to get used to eating raw animal food that has been in the refrigerator for 3 days.

I don't eat that much raw animal food myself.  I usually only eat raw animal food lunch.  Maybe breakfast I will have 2 to 3 raw eggs.  But my big raw animal meal is just lunch.  At dinner I just chat with the kids or eat some not so sweet fruit.

I can relate to that.
Last blog I wrote about the live chicken we slaughtered.
Same thing when I ate the chicken liver and unlayed egg yolks and chicken kidney.
I started salivating after a few minutes and puked it all.

I have full respect for our body wisdom, especially when we have been raw for quite some time.

This means whatever was in the chicken liver, or in the oysters or maybe a bad combination of those two... does not agree with our body.  Food combining sucks sometimes.

It took me 2 days to recover from that.  I'm thinking that maybe the chicken was unhealthy or fed something unhealthy.  Remember, the liver is a filter of toxins and only the healthiest of animal livers should be eaten.  The gerson protocol has raw calf livers in it but lately they are having a difficult time getting healthy raw calf livers.

It is great that this puking instincts save our lives.

A few months ago I blogged about me puking and pooping after eating polluted raw oysters.  

So in your case it could have been the oysters or the chicken liver or both of them or a bad combination of the two.

Food poisoning happens.

It pays to be armed and dangerous... some in my arsenal: herbal colon cleansers... fasting... tree iodine... ginger tea... gorging on safe raw or slightly cooked fats... activated charcoal... oregano oil...

Hi, go easy on the oranges in the orange juice fast (not feast). It is just 1 pint a day + as much distilled water as you want.  No other food.

Here is the description of the orange juice fast: http://www.curemanual.com/detox-protocols/intestinal-cleansing/orange-juice-fasting

Some people should balance their blood sugar with taking lecithin supplements (as a source of fat) while doing the OJ fast.

Classic case your brother needs to cleanse his colon... result of old habits.

He can either do raw paleo high fat and wait a few months for his colon to clear up or he can do herbal colon cleanses now and be done in 10 days or less.

What does trout taste like compared to mackarel, tuna and salmon?
