You want some quick, easy, perfect fix for your "problems", like steroids, magical high meat, etc.
Get real, it doesn't exist.

Still trying to heal up the stomach and cannot break down the cellulose in raw vegetables.
It's not only you, no one can break down cellulose...

It doesn't have to be starch specifically (though this one gives the most SCFAs), you could try with inulin as Muhammad.Sunshine, or pectin which is common in fruits like apples.

Thanks, what is your source for that? What counts is what's actually absorbed by the body. Are those percentages regarding content? If so, then unless the conversion rate is 100%, the butyrate actually absorbed would be lower.
My source is "Dr. John H. CUMMINGS: The Large Intestine in Nutrition and Disease"

Around 95% of the SCFAs produced in the colon are absorbed. Of the produced butyrate, 80% is used by the cells of the colon itself. Did you see the table I posted? You have the conversion rates for starch and pectin there. You'll find some more in the above reference.

No matter how wonderful this butyric acid, I wouldn't go crazy on fiber. There are extremists like Ray Peat who would probably drink antibiotics to kill any bacteria in the digestive tract.. while he's quite crazy, he does have a point: besides the SCFAs, you get a bunch of toxins and gases as byproducts; I'm not sure how good they are in larger doses.

Where do you get this notion, apparently, that fiber has more butyric acid (butter acid) than butter? It's named after butter, for Pete's sake.

Fiber itself doesn't have this fatty acid, the bacteria in the colon produce it via fermentation. Here's the average yield and SCFA proportions for different types of fiber:

carbohydrateSCFA/100gAcetate %Propionate %Butyrate %
starch63621523
pectin35-5480128
wheat/oat brans?641620

So from 100g of (undigested) starch you'll get 14g butyric acid, obviously more than from 100g of butter.

The only aforementioned gland I've eaten fairly consistently would be liver and I definitely feel better and has given me substantial endurance and recovery from heavy training in the gym. I have yet to try raw rocky mountain oysters, but I would like to if I can procure a source.
I have similar experience with liver. There's some unknown factor in raw liver, which increases endurance; there have been experiments with mice left swimming to death, and those that ate liver beforehand went on swimming for more than two hours vs. those on normal diet or normal diet + vitamin pills that survived only around 10 minutes.

Anyone else believe that blood, brains, and balls could have natural and safe androgenic properties?
Testosterone can't be stored anywhere in the body.
Blood would likely have the most significant androgenic properties, from any free testosterone in it.

But I'm not sure extra testosterone is very good, no matter if it's natural or synthetic.
It depends a lot on your genes whether it will get used for muscles. A lot of it might just be converted to estrogen (which also depends on how fat you are I think which again is mostly due to your genes..).

I never wrote that we shouldn’t eat sea salt from evaporated seawater.  l)I don’t see any problem in eating sea salt, sea crystals or Himalayan salt, for example.  :)
Sorry, I misunderstood your post :)
Eating salt by itself is not pleasant at all. Only way to eat salt by itself is then to put some in a glass of water and drink as much as you feel like?

Why?
here from wikipedia:
Quote
Hydrochloric acid is formed in the following manner:

  *  Hydrogen ions are formed from the dissociation of water molecules. The enzyme carbonic anhydrase converts one molecule of carbon dioxide and one molecule of water indirectly into a bicarbonate ion (HCO3-) and a hydrogen ion (H+).
  *  The bicarbonate ion (HCO3-) is exchanged for a chloride ion (Cl-) on the basal side of the cell and the bicarbonate diffuses into the venous blood, leading to an alkaline tide.
  *  Potassium (K+) and chloride (Cl-) ions diffuse into the canaliculi.
  *  Hydrogen ions are pumped out of the cell into the canaliculi in exchange for potassium ions, via the H+/K+ ATPase.

Sure, it is probably less of an artifice, but still is. Why not drink sea water or eat seaweeds instead, for example ? This way, the right amount of salt will be instinctively precisely regulated, something you don’t get when you mix salt with other foodstuff, which overrides the instinctive regulation both for salt and for the particular foodstuff. Negative effects very often shows up years or decades latter in live, most of the times too late.   
So where do I find this seaweeds and sea water? I don't live near the coast.
I mean you're being really extreme regarding processing here.
Whether I drink sea water or eat similar amount of salt that comes from that same sea water where the water has evaporated under the sun..
You can push to be "in tune with your instincts", but obviously in some cases it can be dangerous, e.g. "I'm away from salty foods or waters but I won't eat salt as it will override my instincts".

Per 100g, in human milk there's
 * 30mg calcium
 * 3mg magnesium
 
In cow's milk
 * 120mg calcium
 * 12mg magnesium
 
Seems like the same ratio of 10:1 to me, and we don't eat any grass.

314
I don't know why milk is so low in Mg.
Because babies need to grow bones, and bones are pretty much all calcium/phosphate? Mg is less than 1% of the bone..

They think that the stomach cannot produce sufficient stomach acid if there is too little salt in the diet.
Well salt is NaCl, stomach acid is HCl, so at least the Cl in the salt helps produce stomach acid. I'm not sure whether we get chloride from some other foods?
Potassium btw is just as important as chloride for the production of HCl.

It's an essential mineral, and the RDA is similar to potassium, 2-3 grams/day. It's not good when you get them out of balance, e.g. a lot of potassium and little salt, or the other way around.
It's really hard to get enough sodium through diet alone, especially raw diet.
There's nothing wrong then with "supplementing" a bit here and there on your meat..

« on: March 17, 2012, 03:23:17 am »
What about SCFAs? Those must be the real powerful stuff, if MCTs are already so much better than LCTs :)
There is some SCFAs in butter, and some are produced from fermenting fiber in the colon.

Woah, when I plotted this:
Quote
1 watermelon 20lb
1/2 head of celery
3000 calories of bananas – a box full
sultanas approx 1/2 cup
citrus – oranges, 15 lbs
it turned out to 9300 calories: 150g protein, 2350g carbs, 35g fat!
And still some of the essential amino acids barely cover the minimum requirements, like methionine, leucine and tyrosine. Who know how much the protein needs go up when you have 300g of fiber going through you..
B12/D is 0, vitamin K is near 0, the rest is through the roof. Choline (very important for brain and liver health) is likely 0 too.

So actually eating glycerin has helped the cracked heels? Now that's weird. I thought putting glycerin on the skin is what helped, as it attracts moisture it keeps them from drying.

The calorie gossip in 801010 circles is another absurdity in Doug Grahams underworld. His followers often eat more than 3000 kcal per day and still detoriate and look emaciated. That alone simply shows that something is completely wrong.

On a well balanced raw paleo diet with healthy animals foods you don't need thousands of calories per day. Tsss...

Löwenherz
It's mainly lack of protein on that diet that's causing problems.. you need A LOT of fruit to get enough complete protein. Apparently more than what 3-4000 calories of fruit provide. And then if you don't exercise all the extra sugar will just drive you crazy.

Glycerin is a part of tryglicerides (1 molecule glycerol + 3 molecules of fatty acids), which are part of all fats. It's like 10% of fats (shorter-chain ones have a higher percentage, the longer chain fats have less), so with 100g of fats you already get 10g of glycerol..
In the liver it gets converted to glucose. Basically it's a sugar like glucose, fructose, etc.

Maybe you lack carbs?
Is this why glycerine works for you when you drink it?

« on: March 14, 2012, 07:58:33 am »
Probably most of them. Nuts seem like the only option as a protein source, and they are pretty damn hard to digest.

For me the limit on nuts is something like 60-70g, before I get diarrhea. Even with less than that and a lot of chewing they still don't seem to digest well, nor does grounding, blending, etc. help much. So on a vegan diet I'd be a skeleton pretty fast, due to lack of protein and calories. Unless I invest a lot of time in sprouting and basically spend every day worrying about food.
