It looked to me like they purposefully took a picture after he ate blood to show him looking crazy. IMO he looks great either way.

I guess if others are talking about it, I'll join in. I agree. The post was not relevant even in an off-topic manner to health. We can all search the dark corners of YouTube and find plenty of gross stuff that occurs because of SAD. Not necessary for a forum dedicated to health and a healthful lifestyle.

That's really cool man! I like the article. It seems fairly accurate of an overview of raw paleo. The people commenting are batshit crazy but some actually are smart enough to know what's good.

One commenter said it requires more energy to digest raw food than cooked. Where did that nonsense come from? Veggies that are impossible for is to digest in the first place?

Anyways, thanks for sharing!

Amazing photography. Simply stunning. It's really cool to see the variations in culture, but realize the similarities they have. Very intimate. I'm sure there are no epidemics of depression or other mental illness there, at least until Westerners come and teach them our "superior values"

Here is a 12 part blog from Jack Kruse on the WHY of cold therapy: http://www.jackkruse.com/cold-thermogenesis-1-theory-to-practice-begins/

I have gone through part 3 and found it extremely educating. He talks about a possible alternative to evolution, that even though hominids may have evolved in Africa, 95% of all lifeforms have lived and evolved through cold environments, therefore the basic genetic makeup is cold-adapted and the heat-adaptation is only a recent thing. He argues that even though our bodies can do well in heat, we still have disease and even disease with healthy diets and exercise. He contends that diet and exercise are only a small part of the whole system of health and that sleep, cold, and light all affect our natural rhythms that we have disrupted through our technology.

Brilliant man and I'm already convinced that these other things, sleep, light and cold, will help my own personal healing/re-naturalizing.

Eating fat seems to be the best for this. On my complete zero-carb days with super high fat I can take my cold shower for much longer and it irritates me less and I can even push myself to the point of shivering before I decide I've had enough. Fat is a wonderful insulator and cold tolerance builder, even if your bodyfat % isn't any higher than when eating carbs. It must do something to the nervous system to relax it under cold stress.

Even if I go to complete failure in the same way as my other muscles doing squats, deadlifts, sprinting, whatever else to the point where I have to sit down for a few minutes to regain my composure, they are never as sore as my back and chest and arms the next day. Why is this?

Is it because I keep walking on them for the rest of the day? Would continuing to lift light weights with my other muscles for the rest of the day continue to grow and strengthen my muscles? I'm not a believer that I need to be dead sore to experience results. I just am curious why they are not all the same.

Side note, I've not yet been as sore as my heavy carb eating days. Going from workout to eating fat and meat does really well to increase results and healing time. A little bit of carbs seems to add some energy back without a BG spike, but that's minimal at about 20g. However I don't think this lack of soreness in my legs has anything to do with that.

Actually, now that I think about it, MMS would be right up your alley. Staph is a bacterial infection, and MMS applied topically and taken internally for a time would (IMO) guarantee that it destroys that bacteria, without harming any of your own beneficial bacteria. My neighbor had a skin disease similar to MRSA (another type of the staph bacteria) and applied it topically and took it and within about 2 weeks he was 95% healed. It could possibly destroy it enough that it wouldn't ever come back. Far less painful than running hot water through it.

Iodine is recommended here also. http://curezone.com/forums/am.asp?i=1300924

I'm sure ocean water is great, salt is a wonderful antibacterial. MMS breaks down to salt when not used to destroy something harmful in the body. http://curezone.com/forums/am.asp?i=1671224

Good luck!

I've been eating liver since starting RPD and aside from about 3 weeks without I've consumed about 4-8 oz. daily. This is about 500-1000% of the RDA and I've yet to get vitaminosis a. In fact, I only feel better with liver and eat it instinctively smelling it and stopping when the taste changes. I do know you can get vitaminosis a from animal sources of vitamin a but idk how far over the limit you have to go and for how long. Either way, I love me some liver.

Why is celebrity backing supposed to make this more legit?

Because we are stuck in a Greek mindset as Americans and view celebrities as more than human and godlike in the same way Greeks viewed their gods; more than human but with their own minimal faults or characteristics that make them relate able.

ALL the dietary advice given by the main stream is terrible advice.

So far, I've been doing the exact opposite of almost everything suggested by the govt. (except IF, but still, that's debate-able as to whether or not they promote that) by eating mostly animal foods, especially fats, red-meats preferred, limiting veggies and eating many fruits, avoiding dairy and grain, avoiding cardio exercise in favor of lifting and other strength training, keeping myself cold, eating raw and rotten foods, never washing my hands and getting extra dirty, I'm sure we all share the same list so I'll stop, but I'm sure all of us feel better than ever by doing all of this. I was never much of a conspiracy theorist, but seeing how much it's failing people and by suggesting ANYTHING different and getting results, almost leaves me with no other logical conclusion than they are conspiring to keep us sick, or we've hired (elected) some of the DUMBEST people in all of history to choose what's best for the masses.

Woah buddy. Don't be knocking grain consumption and sun screen.

If you look at this link, you'll see tons of benefits of grains.

Lot's of good info on the benefits of grains here - http://www.choosemyplate.gov/food-groups/grains-why.html

And the dangers of getting sun - http://my.clevelandclinic.org/healthy_living/skin_care/hic_protecting_yourself_from_sun_damage.aspx

Those are both VERY REPUTABLE sources.... lol To think that's what doctors are actually recommending.

(So it's clear this is a joke. Grains and sun screen are bad).

I like how the grain site you chose promotes "enriched refined" grains. My God, it's really sad to me that people don't believe there is an alternative.

I had written on my previous post (but deleted it for fearing I was being a little irrational and harsh of the commercial (hehe)) that I was surprised the mom and dad were brunettes but the boy was blonde. The girl's eyes look similar to the parents and babies all look the same. But the boy, he didn't seem to be the same as them. A little blonde haired blue eyed boy with two front teeth missing.... how can you be so cruel to deny him his papa? Give him the drug, please!

The whole concept of drugs is a little skewed. I won't rant here but essentially what they are saying is doctors know how to use something like heroin better than anyone else in the world, and turn it into something beneficial for people, simply because they learned about drugs (from a biased source) for a few more years than the rest of us? No. Not buying it.

I'm also ADHD, though not physically hyperactive, my mind is often going and racy. Biggest things to help me were:

-switching from cooked to raw meat. Within 1 week I cut my Adderall dosage in half just from this. Part of it was going from grain-fed to grass-fed I'm sure but also simply it was more utilized by my body in the raw state. Same for veggies and fruits. Whenever I ate them cooked, I needed more Adderall to get through the day. Raw state, less Adderall.

-Consuming enough fat. This helped two ways; I was satiated so I could choose to eat less and that would keep my mind more clear, and it helped me cut down my carb consumption, which seems to make my thoughts race more and then also have me crash out more often. BG spikes were not my friend.

-The iodine protocol has been my biggest non-paleo ally. Not prescribing it to you saying it will work, I'm just saying, it helped clear my mind and that it is beneficial. My brother who is also ADHD seems to enjoy iodine a lot too.

-High meat is sometimes more effective than anything. Instant boost in energy, clarity, focus, mood, etc.

My "suggestions" if they aren't already being done:

- check the quality of your meat. If you are cooking your meat I'll partially assume that you aren't terribly concerned about it being 100% grass-fed? It can be hidden more easily with cooked meat.

-Go to bed on time and wake up early. I always feel better this way and it seems to be universal for any mental issues. If you are having trouble getting to sleep on time do these things: get f.lux for you computer or twilight for your phone, they take out blue light which has a tendency to keep you awake, if you're ever around the computer at night. Switch to candle light after sunset. Actually be in bed even if you aren't tired and listen to sleep meditations or hypnosis tracks on youtube. Those have put me out in 20 min even if I was wide awake and it was an hour before I was used to going to bed.

-try an "elimination" approach. There may be something you are consuming that is within paleo standards but is not good for YOU. For example, I found out this summer I can't eat apricots. Even one made my mouth taste bad and made me tired. However, here in the fall I'm okay with apples. Just gotta see what works for you.

"wonder drug" "breakthrough drug" ... what's the name of the drug?!?! Chemotherapy is a bunch of different drugs. I wouldn't be surprised if it was another "new" form of chemo.

I see your point that it is very slick. I don't know of many people that put that much faith in a drug nobody has ever taken. They talk about it like they KNOW that he will get better with it... yet there are NO studies done. Who has that much faith in a drug?

PD-1. Skip FDA approval? Not that it matters since most of the FDA seems to either be payed off or CEOs of big pharma companies anyway.

Doesn't everybody with cancer have a story like this? It reeks of "give us money" also. Psychological approach to getting someones help is to act like you don't "need" the money to survive, but it would help. They are a clean middle/upper class looking family, like they "work hard and don't deserve bad things to happen to them." It creates the pressure for others with money to want to help out "their kind."
