Is there more nutrition in the more mature ROOTS?
 For example, they drive down further into the ground, so
they absorb more nutrients at a greater depth
than the less mature ROOTS.



So young greens are considered better? Is that
because they taste better(less bitter), or because
they are more nutritious?


I had a sample of daikon at the store. It was juicy, crispy, and crunchy, without much flavor.

Radishes, on the other hand,
I do not recommend, They give me a headache.

Beets are excellent, and celery root is tasty.

Eat lots of parsley and drink juice with parsley juice in it. PArsley neutralizes odors in the mouth and GI track...from your mouth down your throat to your stomach.

I think firstly you must address the issue of pasteurized butter. Secondly, grain fed meats are not considered healthy as they are often mass factory farmed animals in cramped, unsanitary conditions. Sometimes they use animals too sick to walk for meat, as displayed by this video that came on the news :

As for vegetables, I like cucumbers, tomatoes, kale, celery, broccoli, or carrots.

So avoid all nuts and seeds unless I can be sure they are properly handled?

Ghee is a heated fat and worse than pasteurized butter. I would not eat it, especially if you are into raw foods.


Some tips:
kiwis have an extremely high amount of vitamin c, and are inexpensive compared to many fruits. 1 kiwi has as much vitamin c as 2-3 oranges.


Shop around for better prices.


Ditch the grain fed meats.


Consider 1 -day fasts(or semi-fasts) every now and then. (Once a week max)


Eat some high calorie cooked foods like rice or unbleached, unenriched bread.


Eat bananas(cheap, 100 calories per banana)


Raw Seafood is generally more expensive than raw beef.

"Because we are constantly in accelerated detoxification due to our toxic conditions, our blood tends to be too acidic with waste compounds. That acidic blood-condition often causes cravings for too much fruit and cooked starches, lethargy, irritability, repulsion toward meats, and anorexia. " ~ Aajonus Vonderplanitz

That repulsion towards meats may occur in an acidic state in the body is an interesting point. It's the body's message to the person that it can't handle more acid forming foods. Maybe this is in part where meats get a bad reputation,...by people who are overly acidic and feel repelled by acid forming foods.

I think you should try animal fats. especially oily fish. Then some land meat fats. Saturated fats lubricate. The fats in olive oil can cause dry skin, according to aajonus vonderplanitz, raw meat advocate

A last resort besides professional help would be to buy a bottle of high quality probiotics, and take 1/8 of the bottle every hour.

I got bad food poisoning from ((raw chicken / raw chicken organs)??) and after 2 days of abdominal pain, chills, flu like symptoms I went for the probiotics and felt immediate relief and almost complete recovery within a day.


Additionally, ginger, cilantro, and/or fennel for symptom relief

Try exercise.

Exercise can stimulate your appetite and improve digestion


Though, for some exercise can decrease appetite, I think because it improves digestion maybe people get "more" out of the calories they do eat so they don't need to eat more

Why can't you chew the seeds? I am aware that eating whole seeds can cause diverticulitis (where seeds can get stuck in pockets of the intestines, causing inflammation).


Have you heard about large doses of papaya seeds causing infertility in male monkeys?


I have heard of the papaya seed's ability to rid the body of parasites

Wow he died of a worm infestation.

How do paleo eaters avoid that to happen to them, besides sourcing clean foods?


When I first got my dogs, and I fed them raw chicken backs and thighs, they had loose stools too.



Overall, as far as meat is concerned, I would only feed the dogs raw meats that I eat/could eat raw without getting sick.

I think commercial pet food is very unhealthy, and should be avoided if possible.

Veggies are good for them, like carrots and celery, and spinach. Some dogs are picky so you have to see what they like too.

Overall, various raw meats/organs + bones, veggies, some occasional fruits, maybe some root veggies/tubers(potatoes)
, also I give them some nuts sometimes

Bones: Avoid beef/lamb bones. Chicken bones are good, and Turkey necks are good, but (turkey) Backs might be too tough. Pork necks good too. The hard bones from beef/lamb/turkey backs/(pork backs???) can break their teeth. You can tell which bones are good, if you hear a "crunch" it's good, if you hear a "cluck" it's probably too hard of a bone.

I've been reading some of Burger's work from the first link you posted, Iguana. What about instincts and the smell of gasoline? Surely sniffing gasoline is bad for the health but why does instinct tell us to keep smelling it?
