Hey everyone-

I have been experimenting with the Primal Diet (AV style) on and off since 1998. Had a real good run in 2002 for a year (98%+) and another solid run from 2006-2009 (100%) and am just getting back on 100% again (for the last 3 months). I haven't been below 75% during that any of that time except the first year I joined the military in 2003 (not in the military anymore).

I can tell you when I am on the diet for more at least a month I start to notice big physical changes: better sleep, nicer skin and hair, fewer pimples if any -- unless detoxing, and I feel like acceptable in photos where otherwise I usually am critical of how I look (after about 6 months).

I know AV was against fasting and enemas. Curious if any of you have ever experimented with that and what your results were? AV says that it disturbed the bacteria in the colon and that the bacteria in the colon are responsible for feeding the nervous system (don't remember the details) and that people who do enemas get paranoid. I know AV shot from the hip a lot without evidence. I guess that 80% of the time he was dead on. But I am sure 20% of the time he could have just been making a conclusion based on his experience but not totally accurate.

Look forward to lots of interesting conversations.
