So this is my update. I didn't eat anything new or sketchy yesterday just some eggs, homemade 24hr yogurt and goat stew I made but later on in the night I got a bout of shivers, hot cold flashes, intestinal cramping, dizziness, internal shivers and dry heaving (no vomiting) almost like food poisoning all while getting extremely sleepy. That lasted about 45 minutes and then the cramping and urge to go to the bathroom would come intermittently and last a minute or so for about 2 hours. It all ended in one round of diarrhea at which point I took an activated charcoal and was perfectly fine. Today I fasted and stuck to broth, sauerkraut juice, kombucha,  shrimp, eggs, some applesauce and some coconut oil around 3pm till now just to give my digestion a break.

The only thing I could think of that did this was the raw liver from US Wellness Meats and again it didn't really last that long just nearly 3 hours. Anybody else experience anything like this after eating raw or partially raw liver for the first time?

Oh so many tasty options! Thanks for the inspiration and anxiety advice from everyone. I got over the anxiety quickly when I realized how good I felt and the look of horror on my mothers face when she passed by sort of added humor to my anxiety, she keeps insisting were not meant to eat raw meat, its quite funny.
Cant wait to try all the tasty ways to eat liver suggested here, hanging in the fridge for a week & cooked with lime and fish sauce I don't know what to try first! Now I have to go buy more liver and maybe trick the husband into eating a piece or two :P.

Mind you this is not about my first taste of liver. I adore liver and devour it when I can. This is about my impromptu dinner I just finished. I was making liver and onions w. king oyster mushrooms and I realized there were two pieces of liver and it dawned on me, I love liver maybe I should give it a try semi-raw, I am a little queasy being this close to my period and going through a little kombucha detox so all raw was out of the question.
 I pan seared in chicken fat a few minutes on each side and tried  a bite since it was still dark red in the center, and you know what? It was fantastic but still not good to my currently queasy stomach. So I yanked that sucker out stuck it 5 more minutes in the toaster oven till it was a bit bloody and more pink than dark red and it was phenomenal! Will be eating my liver more raw from now on, taste better too. Funny enough licking the blood off my fingers after seasoning w. salt and pepper did not bother me out at all. So this is my personal success post.
Anyone ever tried combing raw/ rawish liver with anything or do you just eat it on its own? I feel so not heavy after eating that its almost like I ate nothing at all. Also how do you deal with the anxiety that sets in when you remember the rules about cooking meat thoroughly?

Our local Weston Price chapter is opening a restaurant that is all pastured and grass-fed. So excited! We also have a grass-fed burger chain. And for an 1.5 hour drive we have three really great farm to table restaurants.

Just a bit nervous about eating CAFO meat raw been food poisoned too many times. Plus it tastes sort of blah.

There are ways round. One can always order steak tartare/beef carpaccio or just ask the waiter to  sear the meats for 10 seconds on each side so the surface looks cooked, but the inside is still raw).

Can we really trust raw CAFO beef that is served in restaurants?

How many people here have others with whom they can share their raw paleo meals? You'd have more company doing crack.

Hi Dorothy & Tyler sadly it is so true. The only socially acceptable  is eating sashimi but really how much sashimi can one person eat?

Sorry I took so long to reply holiday season. PaleoPhil I fully agree with Dorothy's earlier post to keep on this new tangent. If your friend does not want to go raw paleo for me personally I found the following foods even cooked helped.

Seafood- lots of seafood especially with an omega 3 focus and zinc focus. Salmon, mackerel, sardines, cod, oysters steamed, clams steamed, fish roe is a godsend, smoked salmon. Lox and gravalax are pretty much raw but most people do not seem to mind.

Dairy ( if she is doing)- it has to be raw or at the very least grass-fed. I stuck to butter, ghee, 24 hour fermented yogurt (homemade so there is no lactose) and a bit of raw  milk here and there. I eliminated dairy completely the week before I was going to get my period because it is inflammatory and caused really bad cramps.

Fermented foods- kimchi, sauerkraut, beet kvass, kombucha lots of good vitamins plus a good gut bacteria can take care of many things at least for me.

Eggs- Cannot say enough about eggs, especially the yolks raw in smoothies, coconut milk eggnog, hollandaise however she will eat them

Saturated fats- what absolutely aggravated my cycles was vegetable and seed oils. Once I started eating good saturated fats (coconut, chicken, tallow, butter, ghee) the pain wouldn't be near as bad, but one meal with vegetable oil and it was agony city. Women need fats and good clean healthy fats. If she thinks she is eating enough saturated fats eat more.

Maca powder- its known for balancing hormones and it greatly helped with my pains when I was now starting to eat clean and not fully there. Preferably eat it raw from the pack don't cook it in brownies or so though you can, I found it wasn't as effective when cooked.


Sorry again for taking so long hope this helps.

Thanks so far for the warm welcome everyone. Thanks TylerDurden for the great link I know I have to get rid of dairy but I crave it so badly sometimes. I am going to take a closer look at that link tomorrow, really appreciate it. CitrusHigh I am just starting to look into raw primal I have so far only tried raw fish sliced up but that is as far as I have gotten.

Weston Price chapters are awesome usually a great place for meat and fermented foods and cod liver oil. I live in South Florida there are not many of us down here but the handful of us down here try to stay in touch even if it's just online but we really are a rare breed.

Thanks again and nice meeting you both. ;D

Hello everyone my name is Alicia. I am 24 and blissfully married for two years to a carbavore who has finally decided to transition to Primal in January because he is overweight and wants to get healthy. He hears me talk a lot and observes how well I am doing and I think that is what really motivated him to jump on the bandwagon.  ;)

I am primal right now, still do cheese and fermented dairy but I am starting to realize I need and want to take my health a step further. Here is the background: I was born with jaundice and 2 weeks later I started a round of projectile vomiting that would come and go and last until I was ten, which is exactly when the doctor said it would stop. During that time my immune system hated me and I was constantly sick, on antibiotics a few times a year using suppositories often and hospitalized for dehydration once. Moving on in my teens I dealt with horrible menstrual pains, bad enough to black out, and later mind numbing stomach pains that left me crippled in bed I would later learn was IBS. I tried everything I thought was a 'healthy' diet to make myself better. Gluten-free, raw veganism, vegetarianism and finally thank goodness Weston Price which became my stepping stone to primal when I overhead someone mentioning it at the store. After a year on being primal I ovulate for the first time ever,  my menstrual pains are lessening and my PMS symptoms, cravings and pain is drastically reduced! I do still have ovarian cyst and pain. I know I have not yet looked into healing my thyroid or adrenals because I have been so busy dealing with candida and gut issues even going so far to do a primalized version of the SCD diet and maybe later this year a raw primalized version of the GAPS diet. I really thank my lucky stars that my childhood did not permanently damage me, as far as I know, and I didn't drop dead from the childhood assault on my gut bacteria. I want to be able to finally heal further; still occasionally get stomach issues rarely, and replenish and nourish myself as well as build a good nutrient  and genetic store for any future children I want to have. A friend suggested a mostly meat diet as a drastic solution to reseting my body but I think adding a bit of raw meat to my already primal diet could do wonders to replenish for now. I am tired of being sick even if now its only occasionally.

The only issue is I don't know where to start  -\ and how to convince my poor husband to try some of the raw meat I want to eat and that's why I am here for support, to give support and share.
