"Sadly, contamination of our oceans and waterways is so great that I don't advise eating ANY fish, whether farm-raised or wild-caught, unless you can verify its purity."

Thoughts?

Good thread

This clears things up pretty well, since mixing can alter the taste of foods and our attraction to them, that pretty much kicks out cacao. Since cacao by itself tastes awful.

From the other thread:

yeah, I would say that something that has known toxic compounds can be safely labeled 'toxic', but not everything that is 'toxic' should necessarily be avoided in all circumstances.

helpful?

Does this mean something along the lines of some toxic compounds can actually be beneficial somehow?

Yeah, here you go: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KkOvRsLSf6E

Look in the comments, it looks like the person who shot the video is the grandson of the founder according to the description.

Really? I didn't know organic applies can still be sprayed. How do they get around that?

Anyone have any more on this raising HCl levels without supplements? I don't understand how adding HCl in pill form would eventually increase stomach acid in a way that we wouldn't need it anymore.

Claravale has a pretty legit reason as to why they do this imo, cows in nature eat grass and when they would be naturally lactating grass would be full of grain seeds.  Now I'm not too sure on the validity of that but I have had 100% grass fed milk/butter/cheese and OP's stuff, I personally prefer the OP stuff.

Yes thats what I believe both of them have mentioned, I wonder if this would be considered natural diet then?

I saw some more posts on raw milk under the introductory form and instead of cluttering up his thread I decided to post here.


In california there are two main raw milk suppliers, organic pastures, and claravale dairy. I have spoken to the owners in person and in e-mail and they mention feeding their cows something like 5lbs of corn a day. They made it sounds like 100% grass fed milk does not really exist in any quantity for sale, and if it did the taste would be terrible. He goes on to mention certain times of the year when the cows eat more pasture than normal, people complain about the taste of the milk every year.

Not sure if anyone realizes this/cares/or if this is just a farm-by-farm issue, but I found it interesting, being that 100% grass fed meats are highly regarded here.

Alright well I am about 8 hours into the yolk flush now, nothing any different from normal so far, perhaps has something to do with my high egg consumption in the beginning of eating RP. I used to eat 9+ raw eggs a day (although with no citrus and oil) for awhile so I suppose its possible my liver is pretty clean.

Anyway I did 1/2 cup pastured yolks, 1/2 cup fresh squeezed lemon, 1 tablespoon organic, cold pressed olive oil.

...will continue on for the few days and see how I feel.

I think stretching has a lot to do with correcting our sedentary lifestyles stiffness.

Should one wait a certain amount to of time to eat after drinking the concoction, or can you just eat again once hungry?

MMmm I love me some deeeep high bar squats. Really gotta check your ego on these though. My rock bottom high bar squat is probably a minimum of 100lbs off of my wider stance, low bar, just below parallel squat.

Something that should be mentioned with that video is the heeled shoes that help the knees go forwards more. You CAN squat the same way barefoot but it takes awhile to gain the flexibility to be able to keep your heels down in the hole. It's possible though that heeled shoes will always make the bottom position more comfortable and stable though.

Yeah the huge juiced up guys make me pretty sick. Blasting out protein farts every 2 minutes and breathing heavy after walking up a flight of stairs.

I think the best example of naturally muscular physiques are the really really old bodybuilders, back before Arnold and the juice fest, they weren't nearly as big or ripped but I am sure they felt great and lived pretty healthy lives.

Brother- the dude in the second pic looks like he is "on" also, but I am not to judge.
