"Being deeply loved by someone gives you strength, while loving someone deeply gives you courage."

Lao Tzu

I like this one

I was heterosexual and then became totally gay after eating raw paleo.  

btw nicole, love your sig hah

I just read that ORF virus is especially rampant in Icelandic sheep this year.

Apparently it's a virus infection people get on their skin when they handle sheep a lot. The article said you shouldn't have to worry about eating the meat, but granted I'm sure they don't take into account people who eat their meat raw.

Anyone know anything about this? Supposedly this is very common.

So they only ate every other day?

That is just wonderful. Here in the UK, we are treated like children with so many substances/chemicals prohibited and  no right to carry guns etc.. The US is so much more mature re the guns issue. Sure, there may be Columbine-like shootings in the US every now and then as a result(easily solved anyway by allowing everyone everywhere to carry guns to thwart such potential threats), but it does mean more freedom for the rest of us.

I heard of a similiar campaign where a US-based company insisted that every one of its employees own a  gun of some sort.

There was even a marvellous SF story I read once which featured a possible future where the average  American family had a nuclear missile in their back-yard!

World is way better off if guns are banned. End of story.

This topics has been moved to the hot topics forum as wheatgrass is non-palaeo.




Unsurprisingly, given my own experience, I quite agree with PP. I did not do well on wheatgrass. Not only did I find the taste truly appalling but I felt somewhat worse, afterwards. Nothing major but it was clear that I was not benefitting from the stuff given symptoms. Also, from what I read, wheatgrass has a pretty bad rep among those who've tried it.

Re non-palaeo foods mention:- It wasn't Natural Hygiene, but Aajonus and various Primal Dieters who insisted that my issues with raw dairy were solely due to detox. I had  6 months of pure hell as a result of blindly trusting in these peoples' false assurances re pretending that allergies to raw dairy were impossible etc.. If I had had at least some warning re raw dairy, I would have gotten healthier much quicker. I do believe in genuine detox, but I am also aware, given past experience, that many people who claim to be detoxing, especially those reporting frequent violent detoxes after eating certain specific foods, are usually deluding themselves and are in some way allergic or whatever.


I am sure that some people, most of whom are already pretty healthy, may do seemingly fine on raw dairy or wheatgrass or similiar non-palaeo or non-raw foods; but most who end up doing rawpalaeodiets usually have severely compromised immune-systems etc. as a result of decades on SAD diets, and therefore some of those weakened people will have extra allergies/sensitivities to certain foods that they may not have had in a big way before they became ill. So, it makes sense to provide a warning before recommending such foods.

Home cultivated WG has a lot of mold on it and Mycotoxins. I got sick every time I ate some.

This august I picked some very tall wild growing grass and juiced it. Felt pleasant wellbeing every time I drunk it.

@yon yonson: I don't care if something is said to be poisonous. I use my intinct, my smell and my taste and till know they never betrayed me. Of course it works only with raw, unprepared food.

The kernels are toxic

Looks like mostly fat and connective tissue

My dog has chronic ear problems so I'm switching him to raw lamb soon.

Actually my uric spiked from 446 to 552 or from 7.5 to 9.2.  The normal medical range is 4-7 and over 8 is considered quite high and has resulted in gout symptoms over time in the past for me.

That is indeed quite troubling. You might want to send an email to Aajonus. I think the email is optimal@earthlink.com I think he charges like 30$ but I'm sure he has the answer to this.

Although according to research milk helps prevent gout, so I'm sure that as big of fan of milk he is, he will probably tell you to get some milk.

I'm not sure though, if a filippino should drink milk.

I don't really care about stuff like this, I'd never eat it. It's garbage.

Hi ForTheHunt,

How did you go about the colon cleanse?

What did you use?

How long did you cleanse for?

Thanks,

Phil

I did the arise and shine colon cleanse. You can probably google it.

What you do is you go buy psyllium husk and bentonite clay and then you put 1 heaping teaspoon or something of psyllium husk and 1/3rd of bentonite clay into water, stir it and drink it. You do this like 4-5 times a day.

Then do an enema atleast once a day to clear out what ever comes out. I'm pretty sure mucoid placque is not real, although it comes out of me every time. This still has been one of the biggest catalysts of regaining my health. I suggest you don't do this for more than 5-6 days. Eat light leading up to it and then fast no more than 5-6 days.

And uhm, yeah. There are herbs and shit you can buy which supposedly stimulates release of mucoid placque. I've always taken them, although I'm not 100% convinced of their value, although I've never tried it with out them. I got mine at blessed herbs. It's called digestive stimulator or something.

That's all I can think of as of right now. Feel free to ask me any questions after you've done some research

Very interesting.
