I do not drink water just before or just after a meal.
I have experienced reduced digestion when I do that.
Raw paleo food is hydrating so I don't see a need to drink anything.

I drink my fluids, usually coconut juice during other times of the day.

I love making and raising children.

And I enjoy making, maintaining and administering websites for the good people like the rpd community, the pro-life community, the alternative health community.

I love researching and propagating scientific information / technology that might help improve people's lives: health, astronomy, physics, linux, free energy, hollow earth hypothesis, history, money...

Yes it was very good.  The whole family was raving about the cooked chicken too.  My wife had the cooked blood to herself.  My mother in law was looking for the cooked liver, but I had the liver raw and she didn't want to eat it raw.  My wife also got curious and had 2 unlaid egg yolks which tasted much like regular egg yolks but you had to bite through a thin rubbery membrane.

Sorry the link wasn't working.  I had the publishing set delayed for december 03.
I adjusted it to today.

Thanks for the compliment, I think we are able to slaughter our own chickens because our maids are provincial folk who grew up slaughtering their own chickens.  The ducks will be next.  I'll have my cousin slaughter the ducks.  I'll go to the goat shop next and document how they slaughter goats.

This breakfast I had the usual coconut juice and coconut meat.
Also had some 2 slices of pico mango.
Also a big piece of papaya we bought yesterday from the province of Cavite.
Then at the end the raw pili nuts came in.
Here is a picture of the handful of pili nuts I ate.
Also a picture if the our hard working maids cracking open the pili nuts for us.

The 3rd picture is what we are having for lunch.
Yesterday in the province I bought a 2 kilo native organic strong female chicken for 380 pesos.  Not cheap.
My mother in law wants chicken cooked "binakol" style.  I have reserved the whole chicken breast raw for myself.
It is a good trade because when cooked, chicken breast is dry and unappetizing, but when raw, chicken breast is tender and juicy.
I also must remember to reserve the chicken liver for myself.

I think sometimes we have to step back and see it from the cooked meat eater's point of view.

As long as the meat is RAW, our bodies can do with it as it pleases.

But when the meat is COOKED, human bodies need lots of fat and or carbs as a larger proportion than the cooked meat which tends to putrefy in their guts.

I just discovered an old pocket book circa 1965 and it is so amazing this MD already has summarized what we are talking about here in raw paleo and holistic health: "Food is your best medicine" by Henry G. Bieler MD

I discover and try for the first time raw ocean shrimp and raw ocean clams.

Saturday market day and today was a time for discovery.  With my trusty cook we went to Farmer’s Market in Cubao and bought many new things for me to taste.  This time I had clams in mind… the halaan variety.  Then we chanced upon ocean caught shrimps.

The nice lady vendor said that her clams were already dipped in salty water so they are now clean.  They have expunged their sand.  They are ready to eat.  I asked where they came from, she said this batch came from the ocean waters at Bataan province.  The other kind of clams came from ocean waters of Bicol.  That’s comforting to hear because I don’t trust Cavite waters.

I asked for a taste of the clams.  I thought she was going to get a knife to open one up.  Instead she just took one clam and smashed its shell in a corner of her stall.  I was surprised it was that easy.  And she gave me the smashed shell to eat.  It was pretty obvious that my cook and this lady vendor are used to eating raw clams.  And to my surprise these clams were tasty and slightly sweet.  For those who still cook, there is absolutely no need to cook these babies.  Now I realize those theories about humans may have evolved and thrived near the sea.  With abundant small fish and shellfish, you have an easy and delicious life.  Picking up a clam and smashing it on a stone is so easy a 4 year old child can do it.

Among the many other things we bought I chanced upon ocean caught shrimps. Maybe 6 inches long curved. If you remove the head it is just 4 inches long.  At home I first had a bowl with some natural coconut vinegar to dip the shrimps in.  I tasted the shrimps first and it tasted heavenly plain.  I returned the vinegar to its bottle.  I greedily ate all the shrimps without dipping them in vinegar.

After the shrimps I ate my freshly killed organic yellow never frozen raw bone marrow and raw sirloin.  Then I had dipped in vinegar some tiny ocean shrimp called alamang.  And to cap off lunch I chomped on some sea weed, lato variety, some small and some bigger bubbles.

We put the clams in water.  They are still alive.  Waiting to be eaten at dinner time.

Before I started this diet, I believe I had low blood pressure... when I would stand up after lying/sitting down for a long time, I would get EXTREMELY light-headed and my vision would get covered up with grey spots. That hasn't happened since I changed my diet to what it's like now though. But these palpitations have got me kinda worried. In my search of this forum, I see Craig said he's had issues with this, and that it could be related to sodium? I don't think I have a sodium deficiency....

This is exactly how I felt when I did fruitarian. 

Ever since I began eating such high amounts of meat I've started getting heart palpitations.
It's kind of scary, but doesn't seem to affect anything else.
In fact, it seems strange that the palpitations do not occur when I'm exercising.
I think it normally happens upon standing up from sitting down. My heart beat gets noticable stronger and faster. Sometimes its accompanied by a "strange" feeling, but the vast majority its not.

I can't help but be worried that its caused by eating so much fat... saturated fat especially. While I know saturated fat isn't the great evil some people would have people believe, too much can't be good right? I eat 3 lbs of fatty meat most days, is this just too much?

I experienced the same heart palpitations / pain you felt when I added raw land animals to my former wai diet of just eggs and fish.

I read Hulda Clark's book again and she suspected worms. http://www.curemanual.com/mind-cures-paradigm-shifts/book-cure-for-all-diseases

So I got my barefoot herbalist dewormer and took a single dose at night... that calmed down the heart worms.  So in my case I suspect it was worms because the dewormer got rid of my heart pain.  You can order the dewormer from http://www.barefootherbalistmh.com

I think the time I took that dewormer dose was April or May?  The pain / palpitations have not recurred.

In our local market and culture, blue crabs are to be sold alive only.
Ocean crabs are always sold dead.

I'm rewarding myself with pizza

Ha ha ha, this is so funny... but I know it is true...
I think it is a phase we sometimes go through.
Then after eating the junk food you feel terrible... some "reward" it turned out to be.

this morning I had watermelon and coconut juice and coconut meat

then I went to market and tasted some raw beef and tasted 2 kinds of small fish.

I got home and tasted the korean kimchi I bought and a small amount of small fish (dilis) in the new fermented cane vinegar I'm trying out.

what is DPW?

I use scissors on my right hand.
And my left hand puts the cut small pieces in my mouth.
