Alright so I started a youtube channel,
My plan is to get people to know me a little,
You know, build a little bit of a picture.
Then my goal once I have enough people watching is to start talking about raw paleo and how it helps with brain injury recovery etc.
I want to get enough people's attention that I can raise awareness as well as attract the kind of people that will hopefully be able to help me progress further.
It's probably just a crazy dream,
but I really think that the resources available (the internet etc) have incredible potential.
I mean, I found this website just browsing the internet with google as my starting point.
This website is seriously the reason for everything good that has come my way,
because it got me to see the truth about nutrition,
and then provided me with the knowledge and support to start living it.
It got me on the right track.
And it was a tough track to get onto.
Let's all just help spread the right information around so that everyone can be lucky enough to find it.
No one needs to suffer when there are so many people out there who know the answers that they seek.

Good luck. Your enthusiasm to spread the RPD messge is very common among newcomers. I remember when I first started how I just wanted to tell everyone and help make the world healthy. I gave that up though. I had enough people tell me the usual, "but parasites," "but bacteria," "omg you're crazy." Now I see it as something I can use for myself, and if others see benefit to it they can ask me about it. In fact, going about it this way has actually brought about people who actually want to eat raw without my trying to get them to.
-
haha I think it's a little different what I'm trying to do,
I honestly don't care who tries raw paleo.
But I do intend on them KNOWING that it is beneficial.
I want them to see my progress, every step.
People are pretty dumb, yes. But I have gotten 2 people to go 100% raw paleo so far,
and their amazing results are undeniable.
And I mean, maybe in 100 years, when even I'm gone, there will be enough undeniable evidence that people will no longer be able to look past it.
My intention is only to provide passionate and accurate documentation that may or may not someday make a difference to at least a few people. That's all
-
Good luck with your new channel. Its great to see those that are so passionate to share with others what has helped them. Ill be watching :)
-
haha thanks!
It's gonna be a lot of madness at first,
because although its very unfortunate, I need to portray how insane and unpredictable my mind has been.
It'll all come together
-
You're an intelligent person. If you have anything, you at least have that. And that's big.
-
Thank you so much haha.
I feel like no one thinks I'm smart at all. It's actually a big issue in my life.
People kinda dismiss everything you say after a certain point, in a recovery that takes so excruciatingly long.
Really nice to hear

I credit goodsamaritans youtube channel with my diet. I stumbled upon his videos just through related youtube links and all his videos made so much sense to me that i had to try it. Actually seeing someone eat so much raw meat on video also helped not be so scared.
-
great videos. I cant wait to see you get better on video, its going to be awesome evidence in a year or two.
By the way you really need to get we want to live by aajonus vonderplanitz because of your specific issue. The entire book is about him healing his son from a car accident. This included healing his traumatic brain injury. His sons brain was so messed up he couldnt even talk or walk(doctors said hed never recover), now years later, hes fuly recovered and he was way worse off than you
-
and another tip, youtube videos are great but try not to do it too much in real life.
Theres nothing people hate more than someone trying to help them (at least. in my experience). This goes for both health matters and political matters (never try to explain the new world order to someone who didnt ask to hear it, they will hate you for it).
THis is because knowing these things and realizing their truthfulness would force people to change their lives and thats the last thing they want to do. In this current new age state of the world, people believe that they get to create their own reality and when you bring up child protective services openly kidnapping children then drugging them with pharmaceuticals and keeping them in cages in massive rape dungeons they will act like you are the one who did it because of this new age belief system. Its happening anyway but now you are the enemy who made it happen because you brought the idea into their head. Quite the psychological operation has been done on the people of america especially to create this way of thinking.
Only help those who ask for it, and when giving out your advice I recommend never to argue with people about it unless you like to be hated. If they ask for your help then give it if not, leave them to their misery or risk adding more misery to your own life. Do not cast your pearls before swine.
Then again theres a lot of people who hate me, maybe im just an unlikable guy :) Perhaps the message will be more well received from a pretty girl than an arrogant know it all like me.
-
haha I know people hate it!
They hate anything new being pushed on them, sadly.
I learned that one fairly quick.
See, I completely had that thing where I wanted everyone to join me on my journey no matter what.
I soon realized that people were super turned off by it.
Thats why I turned to all of this online stuff,
so that people COULD listen to me, if they wanted to.
If not, they could just click the 'x'
I think it just might work! But either way, the documentation is my #1 priority and that is inevitably happening.
I wasnt supposed to walk or talk either haha, don't be so quick to dismiss my level of injury.
-
Also I've got one of my first videos that I recorded, I'm going to post it when I have a minute.
You'll see how hilariously bad I was on video at the start.
I'm getting way better haha, I'm a pretty shy person when it comes to being the only one in the spotlight.
I just saw that I needed to start making videos to appeal to more people, because the majority of humans don't want to read my short essay type writings haha. At least not until they know that I might have some stuff worth their time.
-
Sorry about dismissing. Glad your doing a lot better already.
and thats amazing you got 2 people to go 100% already. I havent even got one.
Theres one guy who I got to start drinking lots of raw dairy, meat is cooked though.
Another guy I got to periodically eat raw meat but rest of his diet is pretty normal.
-
I got my mom and my boyfriend of 3 years haha.
They were both unhappy enough with their lives and bodies to listen to me,
My boyfriend was easy, we went into this together once I instigated it.
My mom on the other hand, it was a little trickier.
Older people have too many things that they 'know', it sucks, really holds them back.
I convinced my mom to just try it with me.
She was quickly hooked, losing weight, looking so youthful, getting constant compliments from people around her.
Not even the minor detox she has been dealing with has been enough to make her quit yet, and she's always been a quitter.
So once someone gives raw paleo a REAL proper try (a few months at least I think), they won't be able to go back to eating garbage?
So if you get them to just give it a go, then your work is done?
Thats what I think so far, but I havent seen enough people do it to have any real idea.
-
im sure anyone who tried it for two months would stick to it.
Its hard enough getting someone to try raw milk even once though. Forget about meat.
-
haha thats where I can convince people pretty easily.
When a sick little girl eats raw meat in front of you and then asks you to try it, you might say no, sure. But I usually don't get that much resistance, when I do, I just ask once more. They always do it.
Getting them to actually try raw paleo is pretty hard.
-
yeah its funny how you being percieved as a sick little girl can get people to eat raw meat.
im just percieved as a crazy cave man.
-
I've just viewed 2 videos and both times you were crying and depressed or something.
I couldn't bear to watch both videos intently.
Do you have a video where you are happy?
-
happy videos will probably start coming in in the next few months I hope.
-
Oh yeah of course!
The happy videos are coming dont fret.
See I've just learned that people will respond much better to your good results when they are at least a little bit familiar with your history.
I need to show everyone the steps.
The steps shown so far are just the really difficult ones,
watch them for what they are. Know that because I am willing to show them,
I must have some great progress already.
I must also be sure that I am only going up, because otherwise I might end up looking stupid.
And I really really don't like looking completely stupid.
The videos are real, I spend mostly all of my time in or around my place of living.
So when I feel an emotional breakdown coming, I get to the computer.
So that I can document all of this, and be able to show my progress effectively.
I don't think it's cool to cry in front of the public...
Thats kind of a rude accusation haha
-
/People really need to understand how brutal healing from a brain injury can be.
The fact that you said that is a clear indication of why,
Thats not an insult! I mean it haha
Seriously I want to show everyone what it's like for me, and that it's all really crazy.
It'll take some time, I know.
-
very brave, very vulnerable, very real. I'm sure your viewers will feel that too, and from that trust the steps you take.
-
Spending too much time at home is never good. I remember when I did that for a while, emotional breakdowns are inevitable in such situations. Brain damage or not staying at home all the time can be pretty depressing.
Do you do any exercise? Thatll probably break the monotony and increase your endorphins. It always makes me feel better.
-
haha yeah I've been increasingly more and more aware of how bad it is to spend too much time inside.
Only thing is, when you are in as much discomfort as I am when not inside, you'd end up indoors too.
It is very often BAD to be out for me, it feels bad, I don't have access to anything I need.
My foolish weak brain can't handle a lot going on whenever my stomach isn't doing well.
And that is often, I think it's detox now, but I'm unsure.
Going for a walk freaks me out, it makes me tired.
The brain tired primarily, possibly the physical tired as well.
I just had a 6 hour appointment with an incredible naturopath yesterday, it was amazing.
Things could possibly get very good starting now, but it won't be quick.
I discussed this with the naturopath, but my poor memory kept me from retaining all the information.
Basically, he asked me if I feel more tired after exercising.
This was incredible, no one ever accepted that exercising didn't energize me like it would a regular person.
He had a reason, and a solution, he took care of my remedies for me of course.
When I read through his notes he sent me home with, I will further explain haha
Previous to learning that it is actually a real thing for exercise to make me feel worse,
I stopped going to the gym and started going to yoga almost every day.
That is hard on me, but it feels right.
-
Interesting, I did yoga for many years and feel like I just wasted my time. None of my injuries got much better while I was doing it even though it was supposed to be the ultimate solution. Now I just lift weights once a week and the effect it has had on injuries (particularly my leg) is remarkable. If you do decide to pursue yoga id recommend not to get into the religion of it at all, it fucked me up for a bit. Getting possessed by entities you know nothing about by reciting their names you know nothing about just because some guru told you to do so is no fun.
Im not saying you should start lifting heavy weights and become a huge bodybuilder but id definitly recommend pushups squats and stuff like that (lots of good exercises for females in a book called convict conditioning(i completed most of that book before i started lifting weights, it made me a lot stronger even though I barely gained any muscle mass.. Were you doing lots of cardio when you went to the gym? If so im not surprised you felt bad, i think running for long periods of time and stuff like is quite bad for ones health. I occaionally practice sprinting for brief periods (useful training for escaping various assailants) which i believe is much more useful and doesnt make me feel nearly as bad as a long cardio session. I used to do long runs all the time and it made everything (my injuries) feel worse for me. I do need to try running with the abrefoot shoes though.
What people dont realize is that yoga is a very important part of a specific religion and was brought to the west through the guise of healthy living (much like vegetarianism, another occult practice brought in through the new age).
I also think you should definitly get raw fermented cod liver oil from green pastures for vitamin d. Your lack of vitamin d from being inside so much likely contributes to your depression and this would definitly help.
Im very interested in what your naturopath had to say since most of those guys tell you lots crap like you need this specific herb or that herb (herbalism-another occult practice I wasted years on to no avail). Not saying all naturopaths are bad however.
Id recommend just continuing with the raw animal foods and wait to get better. Itll definitly work over time, all you need is patience. Some parts of the body like bones can take 7 years to repair on a raw diet while blood is replaced and repaired almost the same day. Just be patient. I wouldnt waste my time with the tinctures and whatnot if I were you though. Iv spent enough miserable years with that stuff that id advise anyone against it.

Please trust that I have thought of all of that and understand it.
The naturopath taught me things even about life that I had already been pondering for a long while.
I am very critical.
I understand my body will eventually (probably) repair itself perfectly if I simply continue with raw paleo.
I am just unsure as to why people expect that anyone as weak mentally and physically as I am should just tough it out and hope for the best.
I am very into being helped along by intelligent people and making my symptoms of brain injury recovery as well as detox manageable. Why shouldn't I be? I'm not doing anything unnatural. I'm just helping my body so it can do it's job faster and more comfortably.
I cannot exercise.
Not yet.
I know regular people can't understand that, and it isn't your fault at all.
Yoga is my way of keeping myself flexible and active, even while exercise drains my body of life.
The world needs to learn from itself, it's whole self.
Everyone should just work together and we should delete the borders,
clearly they only do us harm.
I listen to everyone on this forum with the same ears, I don't care where the information is from, I only care if it makes sense.
I do not lack vitamin D from spending my time at home,
as I have a balcony in my room and sit out in the sun at any chance I get.
And since I'm always home, I get MANY chances.
I lack vitamin D from the canadian winter taking a big toll on me this year,
and from being in the sunless BC for 3 months.
I am not religious in any way, please assume that I can not be sucked into anything that can't be proven to me.
I have no patience, not in the way you're thinking at least.
I need to be actively doing something, actively making things better.
I am patient in the way that I know how much work is ahead of me, and I will not give up, even if I see as many detox results as I see progress.
-
If you think you lack vitamin d from being in canade then get the cod liver oil. Not only will ti help depression with the vitamin D but since it is fermented it will give you the same benefits as high meat. When I was taking it daily i always took a triple dose, three syringe fulls from green pastures) and I felt a mood lift as soon as I swallowed it in the same way I get the mood lift from high meat.
High meat is really great for depression.
Im not saying you should tough it out and hope for best, im saying it will be easier to just do the raw foods than to put yourself through even more trouble. Im not sure what the doctor said to you so I cant really comment however. I understand the feeling of wanting it to go faster, thats why I did a bunch of cleanses from edwins blog and it did make things faster, its just unnecessary. I also believe the cleanses do a bit of damage and require some recovery.
And some of the people with the deepest beliefs are those who think they have none, im not saying you are one of them. Just know that religion is a very ancient science of mind control that can hit you when you least expect it. Like when people go to do yoga as a health thing and before they know it theyre chanting the names of some hindu gods and floating around in space thinking about quantum physics and moral relativity and how special and nlightened they are because theyv done so much yoga and wear turqoise clothing and the most powerful crystals. Iv seen it happen a million times before. Theres few things more dangerous than thinking you cant be tricked, those are the people to be tricked first.
I remember doing a lot of the cleanses goodsamaritan talked about on his website to speed my healing. I did lots of liver flushes and Im sure it really sped up my recovery but I kind of wish I didnt do it because it really is a terrible experience. Have you read any of edwins blogs? Theres a lot of stuff there to speed your recovery if you have a lot of free time and dont mind feeling quite uncomfortable. I think the liver flush is the most important to do.
http://www.curemanual.com/ (http://www.curemanual.com/)
theres his website
So what did the naturopath tell you to do? Is it cardio excercises that you were unable to do? have you tried slower excercises?
-
I'm really glad you're taking the steps to improving your health. Can you tell us what your daily diet is like?
-
I'm not sure here, but I think I have some health problems (especially mental ones) that are completely unnatural and therefore cannot be helped in the natural way.
Obviously the RIGHT natural things applied in the RIGHT way will do it.
But I felt that if I didn't take action, I would continue declining.
I felt that I had to actively do something, even if it was for my own mental health.
Which is the biggest part of my battle.
If I was even just a little bit weaker than I already am, I probably would have done something stupid when my depression peaked. I am therefore saying that it would not have been possible to just do the raw foods. I am sure of that.
The naturopath diagnosed my need for vitamin D. Specifically D6.
I had already figured out the 'D' part, but not the '6' part.
I have no religion in any form. I know this because the only thing I truly believe is that we will never know everything, and therefore must NEVER stop trying to learn. I know to consider EVERYTHING and dismiss only the things that I have recently learned are certainly untrue. If someone brings up something that I haven't looked into in a long time, I will reopen the file. I often quickly close the case, because having already proven it wrong prior, it is easier to figure out. Not always though, quite a few reopened cases have been closed with new conclusions.
So far, the only person to have the ability to trick me has been my mother.
This is because of the emotional ties and the obligation I feel to love her.
I have recently ended this trickery, at least for now.
I am horribly critical of all humans and am no longer trickable.
My openness to try new things, even when they don't make complete sense, should not be mistaken with trickability.
I even find myself trying really weird things, and have come to the conclusion that I try them just to be able to say that I have.
People like when you've tried many things, then they start to believe that maybe you actually have a difficult condition to heal.

Typical daily diet:
2 raw eggs
(1-3 times daily, various serving sizes) Kephir
(1-2 times daily) Fruit (this is a new addition, my body is LOVING it)
(2 times per day) Raw vegetables (Also new, also loved by my body)
(2-3 times per day) Various meats, cut up into manageable chunks, covered in really nice cold-pressed oil.
Instead of one serving of meat, sometimes I have a serving of raw fish. Often with raw seaweed and some of the oil + avocado
I also try my absolute best to eat my last meal before 4:30 PM, if I fail to do this, I suffer very uncomfortable indigestion and bloating the next day. I also have a hard time falling asleep if I ate past 4:30, the next morning is also rough. My sleep tends to suffer as well. (I figured this out through trial and error.
I drink LOTS of water, I also drink a raw protein shake about once per day with raw goats milk.
I eat a lot of raw cheese too, I love it.
Since I introduced raw dairy just weeks ago, I have gained 6 pounds.
This is incredible, because I had been slowly but surely dropping pounds till I was at 103.
I weighed myself at the doctor's office, an accurate scale that said 103 pounds.
At the naturopath yesterday, on another accurate scale, 109 pounds!
-
Good stuff :)
-
The kephir is also raw by the way.
Everything is raw always.
-
How do you know the oil is raw? Most arent. ANd why are you using oil for your fat? You dont have access to suet or bone marrow or butter? Oils are more for cleansing than nutrition and very few of them are pressed below 96f, none that are available for common sale as far as Iknow and oils are extremely vulnerable to heat damage.
and waht is this raw protein shake you are drinking. I havent heard of a truly raw protein shake yet.
As far as natural problems go there are none. If we were being totally natural we would have no problems.
Everything is unnatural, we are sick because of cooked food, vaccines, pharmaceuticals, foods spiked with biological weapons, gm foods that produce their own biological weapons, stratospheric aerosols, electromagnetic interference, haarp waves, and god only knows what else. Nobodies illnesses are natural right now, they are all pretty much caused by high technology. Nature will heal all these things though if you arent extremely close to dead or have been impacted by a biological weapon such as those who have morgellons disease. Nobody ahs tried raw paleo/primal diet for this condition, I would be very interested to see the effect this diet has on this probably nanotech based affliction.
And as far as your brain injury goes, nothing is more natural. Your body definitly knows how to handle that much better than it knows how to handle biological weapons.
so i guess you found a raw dairy source? Howd u do that up there in canada?
funny how the naturopath told you that you needed exactly what I said, vitamin d, and i didnt even get to look at you. Did he say anything else? I hope you take the green pastures fermented cod liver oil (there is no other truly raw fclo as far as I know, the rest are contaminated rancid heated or all three)for your vitamin d6 instead of isolated d6 pills. Those pills are minimally absorbable by the body and while they may help a little with this one issue it will cause lots of side effect damage along the way and it isnt worth it at all. Those isolated pills are the oppsite of a raw food, even worse than normal cooking. You want to heal yourself with raw foods and the best way to deal with the vitamin d issue is with totally raw and absorbable fclo.
-
It's irritating that you pick at everything I say in a way that makes me appear wrong always.
When really I'm just being much more vague than I guess you can follow.
I know that nothing is supposed to be wrong with us, I know that the planet is perfect and that anything wrong with it is manmade. Manmade meaning that it can be unmade.
Nature can not be unmade.
Because it was not made, it was already here to begin with.
You can argue against that I'm sure, but no one knows the truth, so it doesn't matter.
None of us really know, we all just need to listen to each other.
The arguments you're making with me are ultimately irrelevant.
I am healing the way that I am healing, I learn under any circumstances.
You turn me off with all of your ranting, but I have heard of cod liver oil being good so I will now try it.
No matter how foolish someone is being, you should ultimately just seek the truth in their words.
The rest is useless.
All I have chosen to retain from this argument is that I should try cod liver oil.
Nothing more.
I have already thought of the rest, and do not need to be condescendingly told about it.
I am not angry, I just want you to understand that approaching someone in this way is a bad idea.
Be nice to everyone.
Help everyone but never assume that they don't already know what you're telling them, because they might.
They also might know more about it than you do.
-
I keep it real with everyone and sometimes they dont like it. You will hear the truth as I see it from me 100%. Im not gonna sit here and try to sound super loving with everything and be super positive and just bursting with loving encouragement because thats not me. All I do is give the facts as I see them and the way they pop into my head with no editing so you are getting nothing but honesty with me.
its only because im trying to help.
Sorry if you think im making you feel stupid. I actually think you are really smart.
Sorry if I dont always sound like a nice guy, its only because im not a nice guy, not because of you.
The way I help people is with emotionless information and I attempt to give them all the info they need. Im not trying to make anyone like me im only trying to help and what iv realized in this life is the more you try to help the more you are hated. Its like such an act of love always results in hate which is an absurdity but it is the reality we live in. Thats why Im not loving in my advice anymore. You may think thats not the way to go about it but its worked out for me. It turns most people off but when I get the occassional person who is serious about wanting to learn it makes all the others seem like they dont matter anyway. (I am mostly referring to teaching people the true nature of reality now, not teaching them diet which it may apply to as well but I have less experience with)
