I only had to take about 3g of fish oil a day to experience the Inuit nosebleed problem.
One diet might have been eaten in the Miocene era, 4 to 7 million years ago. At that time, the range of foods eaten by our human ancestors was probably not very different from that of contemporary great apes, whose genetic makeup is possibly no more than 2% to 3% different from modern humans.11 This first diet consisted of large amounts of leafy vegetables, nuts (almonds and hazelnuts), and fruit, some tropical, but all purchased in local grocery stores. Theoretically, all these foods could be eaten raw but the majority of vegetables were eaten cooked. The diet was effectively devoid of any significant amount of starch. This diet was compared for effect on serum cholesterol with 2 current diets. First was a high-starch Neolithic-like diet, low in saturated fat and high in oats, barley, whole grain cereals, and dried legumes, with low-fat dairy as the source of animal protein. The second diet was a modern therapeutic diet (NCEP step 2 diet)-very low in saturated fat and dietary cholesterol and with a similar macronutrient profile to the Simian Miocene diet.I am more aware than I was not having to eat and digest so often.
The major feature of the Simian diet was the large volume and the length of time spent eating. Considerable pressure had to be brought to bear on the subjects to ensure they ate all their food and did not lose weight. The foods were palatable, but the volume of 5.5 kg/d for a 70-kg man was excessive and the time taken to eat this volume (8 or more hours per day) was a further limitation.
I didn't know there was a welcoming thread. I eat mainly organic fruit, leafy greens and sprouts (Miocene diet). Paleo dieters tend to find it boring/unpopular.
Most people have transitionary effects such as diarrhea or constipation when transferring to raw. It's just part of detox. For example, as soon as I switched to eating raw meats, I had constant green diarrhea for the first 2-3 days, forcing me to visit the bathroom every 15 minutes.
Curious. I didn't experience this "detox." Any idea why?
IIRC he got the idea from Inuit who wrapped a piece of meat in fat, then skin, and buried in dirt covered with rocks so scavengers would not get it.
I agree, which is why I asked if you had experience with a raw alkaline diet to contrast with the diet you now practice. I am asking for your experimenting experience in lieu of the absence of scientific studies supporting your claim that raw meat is not acidifying or mucus-forming for humans.
But i got a feeling that he didnt want to talk/mention about the high-meat eating since it kind of puts-off people to try the diet. I mean who would really want to eat rotten meat for the rest of their lives?
So while he was doing his min-consults which were kind-of like palm reading he said to every person who got one that they should drink lots of eggs. never have i heard him mention raw meat or rotten/high meat.I didnt get the mini-consult which cost 40$ because i was skeptical about that practice.Through the palm reading and touching he supposedly figured out how your digestive system is doing how your ovaries, and testicles, and and i forgot what else.
One last point to think about with the US Wellness pemmican; salt inhibits the storage ability and lowers the nutrition of the pemmican and US Wellness' pemmican is notorious for being overly salty. If you plan on using it as an emergency store, travel food, or main source of calories you might find it lacking FWIW.
Cool, I'm getting lots of the questions answered right here. So it doesn't seem fair of Susan Bourette to have mentioned all his names without including that explanatory context. Her article did seem to focus on painting a negative picture of Aajonus, as most in the media do, unsurprisingly.
I like this comment by Aajonus I came across. It applies to the RPD too: “You have to know that a weird diet like this has to work or people wouldn’t be doing it. It is catching on like crazy.”
If I told you what it is I'd have to kill you.
I get the sense that some people may be sensitive to questions about Aajonus. When I ask questions they are just that...questions. Nothing more. Not like the insinuations that some in the media seem to make. If the questions bother someone, just let me know and I won't ask any more.
If Aajonus does not wish to reveal the name of the Filipino tribe it would be better not to mention the tribe at all, in my opinion, because there's no way to verify it if it's secret, unless someone else knows about it. GS, have you heard of it? Plus, if they truly wish to remain secret, it's better for Aajonus not to make any mention of them or their country so they can stay secret.
I think it's funny that you, me, Tyler and a host of other people talk in open forum asking what his name is, why he has several names, etc, and most of us are using pseudonyms ourselves at the time we are asking and discussing. I know none of us means harm nor will cause any, it's cool. I like AV because of his experience with health, etc. Susan Bourette maybe could have been more fair as you said, but some people will misunderstand no matter what. Everyone should use their own mind as best they can rather than relying solely on some reporter or news service.
So that's a good question to ask him at his lecture.
Another question is why did he change his name so many times and what was his name at birth?
All food goes through acidic stomach to kill germs initially. Afterward a fermenting intestine, duodenum & colon allow for more nutrient absorption and bacterial flora to thrive. Acidic elements in meat/grains/dairy such as Fe, Cu, P, S, Zn, etc leave acidic residues in contrast to the more alkaline residues.
It isn't just seeds, grains, nuts, meat and dairy that are acidifying. Foods without fiber have longer transit time. Fatty meat in contrast to lean meat, promotes transit though.
I did find some mention that less HCl is produced with raw meat as opposed to cooked meat.

Acid-base homeostasis is critical to health; examples of the negative health effects of increases in acid loading or acidosis include growth retardation of babies, decline in sports performance and increased atrophy and loss of muscle mass . There is increasing evidence to suggest that even small disturbances in acid-base homeostasis have deleterious effects on bone remodelling in the animal/cellular model, and may be a risk factor for osteoporosis especially given that a high dietary acid load may have a negative effect on bone health by increasing Ca excretion and bone resorption. In addition, dietary acid loading can have detrimental health outcomes through an increased urinary N loss and nephrolithiasis. Currently, there is a general consensus that diet can undoubtedly affect acid-base balance and that an individual's net acid load can be specifically modified by dietary intervention.
i believe what they sell in the market in those tiny capsules are raw fats
like fish oil, lyprinol, oleaia, etc.
I noticed feeling more relaxed and blood pressure dropped 10 points by replacing fish with fruit too.

Maternal consumption of a high-meat, low-carbohydrate diet in late pregnancy: relation to adult cortisol concentrations in the offspring.
..high-protein diets stimulate the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis..excess cortisol and programming lifelong hypersecretion of cortisol.
cortisol concentrations increased 5.4% per portion of maternal meat/fish consumption per day (P = 0.03), decreased 3.3% per portion of green vegetable consumption per week
"i remember discussing with someone that the feelings that an animal experiences at death are carried over into the muscles via different hormone and other chemicals releases into the body at that point....
anyone know anything about that?"
Even though you may already produce enough testosterone, you're also consuming it in meat.
You're definately not paranoid about 'paranoia' then...
ive always had these personal traits to a varying degree but most often more aware of my surroundings, hypersensitive to noise, color and ...
however i have notived an increase in these that seems to coincide with my comsumption of raw meats.
i eat elk and salmon, sometimes buffalo (if im cooking it at work)
maybe too much elk?

Pinguvore just doesn't sound right, especially since there is a place called Pingo National Park in Stefansson country.

I just tried a little of raw liver for the first time. It tastes exactly like cooked only have more moisture and easier to eat. I find cooked liver really dry similar to hard-boil egg.
Aajonus just made up his name. I forget what his name was before that.
