Try everything, like I said(doctors/dairy, whatever). Just don't stick to one remedy for ages if it doesn't work.

It comes from dairy, an inferior food, and is generally processed. Avoid it.

I know that potatos are not paleo and need to be cooked but this may be worth 5 cents:

I once read a newspaper interview of a pop-star who mentioned that he nearly died after eating nothing but raw potatoes for a whole month in order to cut down on costs, during a time before he became famous.

You know, Yuri, you really should get a doctor to examine you. I agree that medicines/drugs are mostly useless, but, for all you know, you might be suffering from something specific(a mineral-deficiency or whatever) that the doctor might be able to diagnose. When I started on my search for better health, I was prepared to do anything at all to reach that goal, no matter how awkward, if I'd set myself any standards at the time(eg:- eat no "disgusting" foods like raw meat), I would be dead by now for sure. So try absolutely  everything, including the option of a doctor.

Hi Geoff,

My wife will be on business / sight seeing in London for 2 weeks on October.  Any suggestions where she can get healthy, organic, wild meat and fruit?

I think she will hang out in West End a couple of days watching all the musicals she has time for.

The trouble is that I go to local semi-organic farmers' markets, where you sometimes have to set up an order for next week in order to get stuff. That said, PROVIDED she always turns up early at these markets, then she'll generally find decent food - if she arrives in the last couple of hours, she'll be lucky to find any decent meats.

Here's the London Farmer's Market association website:-

http://www.lfm.org.uk/
, where you can find a markets map showing all the various markets(Marylebone market is the largest one, one stall sells wild hare, you get things like wild mallard but not now, and you have to order things like raw lobster in advance). All these markets have their own homepage on the LFM site, with directions as to how to get there, most are held either on Saturday or Sunday every week(except Christmas/New Year), with a few smaller markets opening every Wednesday, instead. Many stalls sell initially grassfed but grain-finished meat, rather than 100% grassfed, so you'll have to ask - stick with raw lamb, if you have no idea re meat-quality.

Borough market is a great market(next to London Bridge station on the Northern Line-Bank branch of the Underground)

, but should only be visited at weekends(3rd saturday each month is when it's at its busiest). It's a total tourist trap and a rip-off so your wife avoid it like the plague unless you've allowed her to spend whatever she wants!


Covent Garden market(near covent garden tube-station)(I hear one can buy grey squirrel carcasses now from there:-

Otherwise seek out ethnic markets like Brixton Market(you can get raw goat there):-

There are also wild game butchers here and there and small fishmonger's in most areas(mainly the poorer areas). Just Google for them under "London UK", and you should find several. The fishmongers will be relatively cheap for some types of fish, the game butchers will be very expensive.

Here's an article from The Observer newspaper on how eating meat contributes to global warming(it implies that meat-eaters are evil):-

Yes, there is.
You can go into Microsoft Word (if you have it) and go to "Insert --->  Symbol"

This should pop up a box with a whole bunch of symbols. Find the one you're looking for and you can either insert it and then copy and paste it wherever you want, or it will also tell you a shortcut key, which you can use to make it whenever you want.

Thanks.

I wonder how to make the "o" with the two dots on an english keyboard. I suppose I would have to laboriously change the keyboard settings to a German version and then find out which key corresponds to it on the new keyboard-system to get it, but isn't there a quicker way?

Yes, I did throw out all table salt and stocked up on "designer" sea salt.  But I'll try other herbs and spices as well to see if I could reduce my salt dependancy eventually. Can one use an Indian spice, asafoetida? It tastes slightly salty. It's supposed to be good for digestion.

As long as it's not heated, that's fine. I hear it's normally used with heated  oil and ghee.

It should be OK to eat raw tomatoes and cucumbers. As far as I'm aware, they're the only fruits classed(wrongly) as vegetables.

 I find I can more easily bolt down larger pieces than when I was on cooked-diets. Anyway, I cut the pieces of tongue so that they fit into my mouth easily, so it's not an issue. With tongue, I'll just chew twice very quickly, and bolt it down.

When I first started the diet, I had extremely loose teeth(they'd been about to fall out, as a result of years of dairy-consumption, SAD diet, raw vegan diets etc.), so couldn't even chew raw, fresh tongue without experiencing some pain in my teeth, so my solution was to cut the tongue into much smaller pieces than I do now, not chew at all, just bolt them down - I also had to leave the tongue out(under plastic) outside, for a day or three, so that it would soften enough to be more manageable. My teeth became extremely strong aftera year or so on the diet, so that the above methods were no longer necessary.

*Some newbies prefer to use alternative methods such as pulverising foods like liver into a liquid mush etc. using food-mixers/blenders etc. I suppose some such products might even be able to handle raw tongue?*
