Do whatever you like lady - it's your world...Just create new identities for yourself and you can live a perpetual existence as a forager - in the woods or wherever!

Maybe as a brit, you remember that advert "are you there Sydney"? We could always recall you in spirit...

Tyler Why the question mark after the raw? dairy? I have since reconsidered and have decided to cut out the occassional cooked meal/broth in my plan. I had a chili in the slow cooker, made in accordance with wap, and I just couldn't face it. So think might as well go more raw, why not, and keep to the milk and yolk shakes. Yeah the pates cooked but at least its liver. I kinda think the raw meat diet is for therapuetic purposes. Of course anyone can eat whatever they like and be guided by their desires and what their body needs, experimentation is great. But whether one diet fits everyone I doubt. I find it hard enough to eat 'normal' food, raw meat would be impossible for me, even were I convinced it was best.
If this site didn't have a wap raw section I would not have posted here. Isn't the diet I've outlined mostly raw?
I think the spirilina is superfulous now I'm taking clo. I'm just finishing off the box, bought 2 years ago so not taken often. And its vile tasting. I investigated the brand and its minimally processed.
I can't see that the tiny amount of sugar in 80% chocolate is a big deal for a healthy person eating a healthy diet. There lots of evidence that chocolate is healthy. And anything that helps me eat more regularly is good. Thank you for your reply. Sydney 

Dear Moderators This isn't for posting please! I couldn't see on the forum where to direct my query. I'm having trouble posting my pic on my profile. The browse box gets the text for the picture but it doesn;t download. Thanks.

Hi Ioanna I really enjoyed reading through your journal here just now. I admire you for being brave enough to bare your soul. The Ibs sounds like its been truly horrific and I am glad the new diet is helping. To make such progress in your education and work under such adverse health condition shows a lot of determination. Well done! 
I especially enjoyed the video of the man in his 90s, and his exposition on mono diet. I haven't found much on the net about it so will see where his links lead. Thanks. Sydney

Back again to finish. I also try to take clay which I think is a great thing. The thing is its recommended to take it away from food so it gets forgotten too often. I am interested in anything anyone has to say about clay. I find it a fascinating subject.
The reason for the regime is to eat regularly. I'm sure for many eating irregularly is beneficial, I'm intrigued by paleo views on the subject. But for me I just am running on empty too much of the time. Maybe its about insulin/motabolism?
I am in good health so for me about maintaining health with optimal nutrition but also to fit my lifestyle as a single person. Sydney

The vitamin d council have quite a bit of info on sunbeds. I became interested because I am interested in remaining young and avoiding diseases of aging. I am 61 and in good health. For 1 1/2 year I follow a personally adapted wap type diet eg high fat, broths, raw and some femented food. I have just been able to access raw milk so am making that (with raw egg yolks) the foundation of my diet. I don;t mind a bit of meat but I didn't like it raw when I tried it out of curiosity. I have come to this forum for debate on side issues like this present one of sunbeds.
The sunbed place I go to in the uk, well i can't imagine them know much of anything eg min wage employees. But the brand is the same as ones recommened at the vit d council. There is quite alot of evidence linking diseases to latitude. People like the inuit would be out in the sun all day so have longer periods to get the rays. Also they ate fermented fish oils (I take fermented cod liver oil supplement). I only started the sun bed this winter. And i strictly limit my time usually only 6 minutes. My feeling is the tan says you are getting the d. If anyone thinks this isn't true i'd be interested in hearing their thought. Personally I'd rather take the bed than take lab produced vit d. Seems more natural. I'm not convinced at this point that one can get enough d from food. Again am interested in others views. 
The thing about the sunbed that sorta surprised me was the psychological effect. I really enjoy it! Its really relaxing. Maybe I've got a marginal bit of seasonal affective disorder I didn't know about but the bed definately raised my spirits.Sydney
