Interesting.., I also read they had healthy teeth because of the small amount of sugar the Eskimos consumed.
Probably wouldn't get a reply that the entire room would agree on. For instance, what consensus would occur between the mountainous swiss who ate rye and dairy and the Inuit who were nearly entirely carnivore? They might come to the conclusion that modern foods are far too rich in adulterated materials and too sparse in decent nutrients. They would probably also laugh at us for thinking their dietary habits are gross . I think that's all the consensus you'd get though. They might also tell us to exercise more. Not sure. As far as organs and fat as a priority, I'd have to say that it would depend on the culture. But I don't think they would unanimously agree on their primacy.
I should point out that I'm not an expert on primitive cultures
The thought of raising children in the states under a raw animal regimen kinda frightens me actually. Americans (IMO) tend to be overly concerned with what other people are doing and our public school officials can be downright nazis at times. I've read some horror stories in the alternative press regarding school officials basically doing everything they can to preempt parents from raising their own kids. My biggest fear would be the wrong official finding out that my kid eats uncooked animal meat and then getting social workers involved on the assumption that I'm trying to "poison" my kid. Of course its poison to them, because it doesn't meet the established criteria for normal food, which would of course me a quack and a crackpot unfit to rear children. But who knows? I might just be paranoid or something.
I have experienced the liver liquid as well so buying once a month sounds good. I have been told not to eat meat that has been frozen only refrigerated (chilled)...?
Wouldn't drying them in the sun be kinda like cooking them hence defeating the purpose of eating them raw? I won't be putting them in the ground here in Hawaii, too hot. I'm trying to get away from utilizing a refrigerator if possible.
That's it then! So, I guess the guy who ate meat that was a year old was valid. In that case, maybe I'll consider ordering enough meat to last me for two or three months. I don't mind eating stinky meat either. Actually I have eaten raw pork that was pretty foul but I only did it once since I wasn't sure if doing that was safe or not. Nothing to worry about now though with this new found info and all. Great! (I'll probably use a fridge anyway hehe)
I like the idea of a water-fast, which I'm assuming means that I can drink water. Should I also take some probiotics during the fast or should I just pass on that. Mind you, I've got none of that good EM stuff mentioned elsewhere. I have some decent stuff though that I've been happy with in the past.Don't use probiotics until the fast is ended. Anyway, it's only for 2-3 days until you get your raw meats, right?
One question regarding fasts: will I have to worry about hypoglycemia and low blood pressure? Will it come and then go once my body adjusts? Or will I be dealing with it the whole time? I still have to go to work and all and I'm already having a difficult enough time there these days.
So what do you guys think I should do til then? Fast? Follow a cooked paleo, low-carb regime? Cleanses?
Another thing I'd like to point out: some of these threads are freaking me out! People are talking about some serious transitional problems. I'd have to say that having to rush to the bathroom every 15 min. or so for a few weeks is going to cause some serious problems at work. Then there's all the talk about the heart palpitations and stuff. Heart problems scare me too. This is probably the first nutritional program that I've walked into not being completely optimistic. Which might be a good thing, since my other adventures contained too much optimism, often at the expense of realism. But anyway ...
One last issue: what's the deal with liver and carbs? Some people seem to keep saying eating liver is like eating carbs. What's the deal with this? I thought it was protein and fat?
I really would like to lose my glasses as much as possible, but my vision is just so bad!There's a very expensive process called "orthokeratology" where you buy specially-designed contact-lenses which reform your eyebal so that you can see perfectly at full vision. Trouble is, you have to insert them into your eyes every night and take them off every morning - should you forget to do this, after 2-3 days, your vision goes back to short- or long-sightedness, as applicable. Don't lose the lenses as they are so expensive. Bates Method practitioners state, though, that the Bates Method doesn't work with orthokeratology, as such. Have a look at the Bates Method yahoo group re all this.
I'm sitting like two feet away from my screen and I couldn't read a single word on here if it weren't for my glasses.
I wouldn't be able to tell who someone was from a distance while walking outside if I didn't have them on.
I certainly wouldn't be able to read anything up on the board in class without them.
Is there any difference between contacts and glasses when it comes to this? I'd like to get contacts instead of glasses but I'm worried they might be even worse than glasses for your eyes.
body and hair -> I use a mix of raw aloe vera, oranges, lemons, and habanero peppers
teeth -> regular toothpaste (although I'm probably going to start using only strawberries when I go back to 100% raw paleo)
deodarant -> I use the crystal stick (I don't like using this because the of the ammonium alum and potassium alum it contains but I've tried lemon & calamansi but they don't really work for me. I would continue to use natural alternatives but the office I work at doesn't like the body odor I have when not using the crystal.... )
Tyler, I guess I should have been a bit more specific when I said Hawai'i. I'm on the island of O'ahu not the Big Island which is where Pangaia is located. The paleo diet scene is alive there. It is almost non-existent here on O'ahu. This is because O'ahu is overcrowed and urban while the Big Island is very green and rural. I have actually been in contact with Pangaia since February of this year. I plan to reside at Pangaia for 1 month to see if I like it. The place in the eatwild link you posted is on Molokai yet another island. There are no stores here on the island of O'ahu that I know of yet...
With that said, should I just eat the meat from a regular store? (that's probably better than cooking it....?) I could as get the meat delivered here but wouldn't that be very expensive compared to purchasing it here on island? If you do get it delivered then I presume you just thaw it out and eat it?
