Thanks, RawZi. I only need something on rare occasions, such as when I accidentally eat the wrong thing or cheat too much, so it would preferably be something I could store a long time. Your mention of herbs reminded me that I do have ginger tea, thanks. It's not truly raw, but as an occasional medicinal I think that would be OK on a RPD. I could drink that and eat raw bone marrow or suet when my stomach needs soothing.

Re: tofu, I can't stand the taste or mouth feel of straight tofu, even when mixed with other foods. I can't imagine how anyone could think it tastes good. To me soy is one of the nastiest foods on the planet. The only soy food I liked that I tried was soy ice cream, and even that was not as good as dairy ice cream or avocado ice cream or sorbet.

It gives me troubles and it is well documented to cause deficiencies in vitamin A and other nutrients and contribute to myopia, blindness and certain cancers. Maybe he meant it gives less troubles than the gluten grains?

Apparently, the potassium in bananas is not nearly as well absorbed as that in meats/liver? This is truly fascinating and unexpected--AND WONDERFUL. HOORAH! I didn't expect my deficiencies to be cured within days of eliminating fruits and increasing my meat/fat/organ intake after one last week of increased fruit intake. It will be interesting to see if meat & fat alone prevent the cramps, or if I will need to continue eating liver as well.

They seem much more concerned with stopping humans from eating meat than they are with the actual welfare of the animals. When it suddenly becomes illegal to use millions of animals for food, as in this case, they are either starved or slaughtered and dumped into landfills, not put in massive animal refuges and kept alive with cleared land and expensive feed at government expense.

Europeans and Asians, and such historical cultures as the Celts, Turks, Mongols, Huns, Tatars, Scythians and their predecessors have been eating horse meat for at least tens of thousands of years. According to the Romans and others, most or all of these cultures regarded raw horse flesh and blood as very nutritious and a secret weapon that gave their warriors an advantage. There are even some horses in the Stone Age cave drawing in the Raw Paleo Forum logo image (all the animals portrayed were eaten by the people who drew them).

The way I maintain pretty good discipline is by not buying the stuff I don't want to eat. So, even when I was occasionally buying mints to allow myself the occasional stomach-settling treat, I bought only the smallest bag of it, because what I buy and keep in the house I tend to eat. Even so, I was playing with fire, because sugar and carbs are my biggest food addiction, and I occasionally went overboard, so I've decided not to get any more. I think I'll probably restrict my stomach soothing to bone marrow or Milk of Magnesia in the future. Any other suggestions for raw Paleo zero carb stomach soothers?

Like others, I'm guessing that maybe your GI system has not healed and adapted to the point where it can digest fats well. I used to have trouble with them myself. Supplementation might help during this transitional stage, though it would probably take some experimentation to figure out what supplements help you through this. Magnesium is known to help with anxiety, panic and sleep and it's one of the supplements that helped me most in the past to heal the ravages of modern carb eating.

Don't they eat ants?  That's meat too.

    I was attracted to eating ants as a kid.  It was fun

Humans who buy into the vegetarian delusion of pacific, cuddly, infantilized, neotenized, 100% vegetarian primates and adopt a vegetarian or near-vegetarian diet tend to suffer the same pernicious effects that occur in nonhuman primates who who eat too much fruits and do not get enough animal nutrients from insects, grubs, worms, lizards, small animals, feces or other sources: vitamin and mineral deficiencies, tooth decay, and other afflictions. The fruit of their ignorance of nature is suffering. Vegetarianism is clearly the diet of masochists.

What do they feed the other baby lambs if not milk?

Uma Thurman also does a raw meat diet(though I think that Demi Moore is(was?) a Raw Vegan. There's also carol Alt, the model, who follows a raw omnivorous diet, which seems a little processed. I've also heard from a relatively secure source that Val Kilmer is a follower of the Primal Diet(at least as of some months ago).
