Title: Does anyone have insight into the proper amounts of internal organs to eat?
Post by: madyusa105 on October 26, 2011, 04:35:50 am

So, I have eaten certain glands at this point: pancreas, thymus, testicular glands.  All great, but I haven't worried much about overeating them.

Now, I may have an opportunity in the future to get ahold of other glands: adrenal, thyroid, pituitary, hypothalamus, etc. I have been studying what they look like so I can guide my butcher since he may not know.

I want to make sure that I consume them properly. I know these glands were often divided up between an entire tribe meaning everyone ate a tiny fraction of these nutritional powerhouses.

Does anyone have insight into the proper combinations and amounts of the various glands I should be consuming?

Try eating one at a time and see how each feels and affects you?

Careful with pancreas, in my own personal experiments, pancreas is powerful stuff.  I once ate too much and woke up with double vision which stayed for 2 days.

How much depends on what your body needs.  What is your current state of health?

You can also get complete organs from small fish and oysters and clams.

Tiny fish eaten with the head have complete organs.  Same as shellfish. They are in the nature specified proportions.
