After the first seventeen years vegan I had to start squeezing.  The squeazing didn't work though, and lots was still stuck.  With raw animal foods, so far, it seems peristaltic action always takes care of it.  Yes, after the first month clean out, there is less volume.  The first month there was still so many toxins stored in old cellulite etc that during that time went down the toilet.  Also (raw) cheese and (raw) kefir can slow things down, and (raw) eggs and high-meats can quicken things, none are necessary though for most people.

Raw kefir slows things down. Does it slow detoxifying? or elimination ?

I have always thought that salt is vital. Meat has salt but does it have enough to "maximize" the quality of life ?
Even the 22# looked interesting. http://curezone.com/foods/salt/vital_functions_of_salt_in_the_b.htm

Blue cheese is way too salty.

My mother bought some gorgonzola that is full of blue mold. I was wondering if it is healthy to consume blue cheese and every other cheese with mold ? I have read about blue cheese being unhealthy but the those same people would probably say that high-meat will kill you too.

So, do any of you consume blue cheese ?

*I read the label and it was aged with Penicillium roquefortii.

Impatient.. Already ate some. I have eaten it before and I remember experiencing not so great days after eating it but it didn't stop me to try it again. I feel a bit foggy after eating it. Doesn't happen with normal cheese.

Maybe this helps explain how the traditional Inuit were able to avoid D3 deficiency. I figure that diet must at least partly account for it, given they survived through months of no sun every year and they didn't limit their intake of fish to puny rations like moderners strangely do.

Science has started to catch up on Vitamin D and they have found out that Vitamin D3 might be a "miracle drug" (in their words). I wonder if Vitamin D3 is a huge contributor to Inuits good health as they are "overdosing" the D3 on fish

Are there any other foods really high in D3 like herring?

http://www.nutritiondata.com/foods-000102000000000000000.html Here is a list. I think you can't find anything so high in Vitamin D3 other than fish.

What is your source for that? Nutritiondata claims just 460 IUs (http://www.nutritiondata.com/facts/finfish-and-shellfish-products/4065/2).

Looks like I am overeating the herring if 1oz is the normal serving size . You were looking Vitamin D content of 1oz serving size. Change it to 1 fillet 184g. 1 Fillet has 3000IU make it a whole herring you get 6000IU add liver and you might get a lot more I think. Let me know if I was wrong.

If the constipation is a problem, it could be impacted colon or largened colon that is making the belly look larger. On the other hand, it is easy to touch the belly to know if it's fatty or not.

I have Lard here in Estonia that has no additives and comes from quality source. Like William said, it's soft on room temperature, a bit tougher but extremely sticky when refrigerated and hard enough to cut with knife when freezed.

I tried eating lard (rendered pigs fat) by it self... It would be better if it's enough to just rub it on your skin and you will absorb everything.. The taste was not peasant at all. Haven't tried spreading it over my meat though..

Butter does contain hormones, but its more likely due to the increased vascolur activity of the butter, in the same way viagra induces erections, but on a smaller scale, ie through increasing the supply of blood

Actually it's interesting. Got the same result from eating ground beef. Although, I don't have that kind of erection with that butter anymore.

    Majormark, we used wheatgrass on my son to do that, before me and him knew anything about primal diet or raw animal foods.  It took at least a year to get the feeling back.

    Roony, what do you mean a couple of weeks?  Where did you get that?  From who?  I don't know how many times it's been done, but from my sources it takes months, close to a year.

    You can use lots of stuff to make kefir.  Why don't you use your own bacteria, maybe your fresh saliva.  Meat and dairy's microorganisms are different from each other.  Have you ever heard of mesophilic, thermophilc, aerobic, anaerbic, hydrophilic etc?  Each organism has something different it tends to grow on.   

I just recently found a source for raw milk. Drank a liter in 2 days. Never had raw milk before. Taste was excellent! Now I am considering making kefir and the saliva idea got me interested. However, I couldn't find any information for using saliva to make kefir. Do you have any source for this ? I have never made kefir so I can't compare if saliva worked out or not. If it does will the milk get sour and thick like with kefir grains I have read about ?

From "QI" Chit-chat on tv: In the past, poor people have been the most susceptible to tapeworms. These people would be thin, despite eating lots of food. (This came about because they were discussing diet, and after seeing this effect, there were some rich people who wanted to be thin like the poor people, so consumed tapeworm eggs).

Does this not worry you, how many people had tape-worms, and how it affected them? It is just that I am worried that perhaps, the people here who are saying that tapeworms are not a problem, are saying so because they have similar mindsets to the people who consumed those eggs intentionally... That they wouldn't mind, or may even like to have a parasite leeching their energy supply and making them thin.

Thanks.

You have a good point about the tapeworm leeching the nutrients. Some rawfooders here have the mindset that parasites are good and even tapeworm is beneficial. If tapeworm robs our nutrients and makes us weaker how can it be good ? Or when tapeworm does make some good then is it's life cycle lessened when a person consumes raw zero carb or VLC.

I think The Bear said that inuits live to old age unless they are not killed by the accident or trichinosis.

I feel that I have more energy and at the same time can be very calm, which leads to an increased ability to focus on things, ideas etc.

I did not hit the intelligence jackpot (yet), but the amount of time when I can concentrate has probably doubled or tripled during a day.

Also I feel more intuitive (subjectively).

I can also be more intuitive now and can understand people more. It's something like getting into ones head and knowing what he/she might be thinking or feeling. Why one did or say something.

But I was experiencing the same thing years back when I was food combining.

I've had grainfed raw marrow and it tastes so bland it's disgusting.Grassfed marrow is great, though.

Interesting that AV did recommend grassfed meats on the radio, I don't think he  mentioned it in his books(perhaps in the latest edition?)

Interesting, my supermarket marrow tasted great also. Although I am suspecting the source to be grassfed.

When I first started with paleo and very low carb diet, I was consuming only one kind of a butter. Every time I ate decent amount of this kind of butter I got minor erection. It was pretty funny. Whenever I ate this butter, I got an erection  . But later when I switched the brand of my butter, unknowingly I didn't have the erection anymore as I ate the butter. I thought it was something my body was adjusting to and it was done with it. But today I ate the same butter I was eating at first and got an erection. The butter that gives me erection is probably from better feed, probably grass fed. Although, I am not sure about the other butters.

Is there any explanation to this  ?

I used to order their cappings, but I kept finding wooden pieces of the frame in them.  I got tired of worrying that I would bite down on a piece of wood.

I think there is nothing to worry about biting down a piece of wood. Probably they are not even sharp. And besides that, paleoman/caveman would drop their meat onto the ground and some pieces of wood they ingested wouldn't cause any harm. If it's wrong please tell me.
