My new health coach has a theory regarding teeth profiles.
The more carnivorous looking a person's teeth is, the more carnivorous he is meant to be.
The same with the flipside, he needs less meat if his teeth look less carnivorous.
He looks at the fang teeth, the more dracula like is more carnivorous.

He thinks my teeth profile shows I need a good amount of meat in my diet which explains why I quickly had malnutrition in raw vegan and fruitarian.

You guys have links or theories with regards to teeth profiling and level of carnivory?

I took my 5 year old girl with me to the office this morning. She was on DILUTED orange juice and coconut juice. This is her raw paleo diet week. She then said she was hungry and wanted sashimi / raw fish and / or raw oysters. Sure.

We went down, bought some calamansi and some guavas. Then for some fish. The hawky vendor offered me uni aka sea urchin… oohhh… yummy… 500 pesos for that small plastic container. He said it was 1/2 kilo, fully packed and submerged in ice. Maybe it was 1/2 kilo or less. I hadn’t had uni in a long time, my little girl was recovering from a long cold, this is a good excuse to blow some money away. So I bought it.

Yummy. Lip smacking good. My daughter relished the raw sea urchin. I taught her to put it on top of the raw tuna sashimi slices… great combo. She really pigged out on it. I pigged out on it myself. In a few short minutes, this made my daughter so sleepy she took a mid morning nap with the nannie in my office. Parent mission accomplished.

I went home for lunch to make sure my 2 boys had their fill of the raw sea urchin. They liked it. More with my 8 year old. We were frustrated some 2 years ago when in Palawan we paid for a lot of sea urchin only to open them and find they were “malnourished”. It wasn’t worth opening the rest of them to find such tiny amounts of sea urchin meat.

I offered my sister in law some uni sashimi, I know she likes this stuff. She declined. She said in her visits to her job in Ilocos province she eats mounds of this stuff. Yes, she eats something like half a kilo in one sitting she said. And that sea urchin was so cheap in Ilocos she pays only 70 pesos to 100 pesos per kilo. She couldn’t believe I paid 500 pesos for my tiny tupperware.

Well thanks for telling us. Now we know where to order a lot of raw sea urchin. She’s going back to Ilocos on Monday. And be back in a few days. While we wait for our next batch of uni sashimi… maybe 2 kilos will do… ha ha ha… pig out!

Here is what me and my family had for breakfast.

We live in Manila, Philippines and these are the local fruits in season from left to right:

raw melons – hydrating
raw watermelons – hydrating
raw native guavas – high in vitamin c
raw avocados – high fat

We did not need to drink any water with this breakfast because the water melons provided all the fluid we needed.

Funny how I stress the word raw.

Just ribbing at people who think I’m strange I eat “raw” (fruit). Nobody cooks these fruits.



I'm directing my rib at the cooked meat paleo dieters who make such a big deal out of raw paleo dieters.  As if the word "raw" has to make people head for the hills.  I bet the cooked paleo dieters do not cook their raw fruit, right?

I took this video this morning before going up my office.  Could be of interest to Primal Dieters.

This is how lots of coconut milk is made and packed in a certain coconut stall in Farmers Market in Cubao, Quezon City, Philippines.


Coconut milk / coconut cream is popular with Primal Diet followers.

In the Philippines, coconut milk is cooked as part of many dishes. The local name is “gata”.

Raw Coconut milk / coconut cream is viewed as good fats by Aajonus Vonderplanitz and his Primal Diet followers, but personally anything more than a tablespoon of raw coconut milk may upset my stomach. Locally, the coconut vendors and most Filipinos do not drink glass fulls of this stuff. The interest is as a sauce in fruit salads / deserts or cooked in main dishes.

I think it should be standard fare for people to attach pics of what they are eating when they ask questions so we can all have a better idea of how to answer such and such.

I'm sure by now everyone has digital cameras.

We can communicate better this way.

I havent much experience with greens. 

Maybe you experienced with greens folk can teach us.

Which greens do you eat?
What process do you do with them? combine them with?
How much and how often do you eat greens?
What do the greens do for you?

Please list down the health benefits of eating raw organic meat vs cooked meat.

We are into this bloody raw meat eating business for very good reasons.

I want this to be ammunition to shoot down those cooked meat notions of cooked meat paleo "gurus" who keep espousing that humans have evolved enough to cooked meat.

Sure sure, but have humans evolved optimally to thrive on cooked meat?

My examples:

Tooth decay cannot be cured by a cooked meat diet.  But it can be cured by raw meat.

For super nutrition to help o incurable diseases, raw liver is given, not cooked liver.

To detoxify the liver in liver flushes, raw fats are given like raw egg yolks not cooked egg yolks.

When my 5 year old son was sick of a painful eczema on his left hand, a full 1 week of raw meat paleo diet cured him.

 

Please reply here with the bad meats in your markets and state why each one is bad.

I'll begin with our farmed BANGUS / Milk Fish



Why it's not good.  It's farmed.  It is kept in a fish pen, it swims in its own poop.  The feeds given are commercial feeds that ensure they grow fast to get to market.

A new google search engine tool has been installed on top of the forum to help everyone search our now growing forum.  This is a sign of forum maturity.  Good news!

Hello,

I'm looking to collect testimonials of people who have been cured of diabetes with raw paleo diet or other diets or other means.  Please post them or their links here.

Diabetes should be a simple enough ailment to fix on RPD isn't it?

My mother in law brought home a single giant banana one day. It was the first time I had seen such a large banana. One of our nannies says they had these giant bananas in her province but she couldn’t remember what they were called. A bunch had only 6 to 10 bananas.

We ate this banana. It’s taste was not impressive. Now I know why it is not commercialized. Please reply here with the name of this giant banana.
