I love reading stories like this. Reminds me of the one about Andrew Gaff that you posted. I wish I had some pictures before and after my diet went to mostly raw organ meats. I still eat raw fruits and vegetables but my diet is mostly raw meat. About half organ and half muscle meats. I consume all my organ meat in the form of raw smoothies and my muscle meats either raw or lightly seared.
I gave up eating raw tripe smoothies for a while and just started back on them. I've really noticed a difference. I consume about 5 oz. of tripe with each smoothie. I think next time I'll pack the bags a little lighter, making them 4 oz. I guess I got carried away 'cause that's what I usually do. That way I can have 2 tripe smoothies a day. I try and have at least one smoothie of each organ meat and usually have two of liver.
I seem to be packing on more muscle since I added back the tripe smoothies. Funny. All this time I thought it was mostly due to the bulls ball smoothies. Probably both or all of the above: tripe, liver, thymus, bulls ball, heart and kidney, which I also stopped taking and probably should start up again.
I have done lamb balls and just did a smoothie with water and the balls cut up in pieces. I left the skin on, it will make for some clumps in the smoothie though. But I did not mind it I just swallowed them.
