I read that also the ferritin level should ideally be higher, although the  normal range was specified as 10-291 by the lab.

Instincto / Anopsology / blood test
« on: January 20, 2013, 03:14:57 am »
I ate venison (male deer) again - this time its taste was fantastic. Venison will probably become one of my favorite meats.
 
A few days ago I had a blood test.
My iron (51 ug/dl) and ferritin (21.5 ug/l) values are in the normal range for the first time since sometime in my childhood (AFAIK). My vitamin B12 value is in the normal range now (242 ng/l), but could / should certainly be higher.  Other values:
Triglycerides: 44 mg/dl
LDL: 45 mg/dl
HDL: 59 mg/dl
LDL/HDL: 0.8
Serum glucose: 78 mg/dl

Before launching wild speculations, wouldn’t it be wise to inform oneself about the facts?

Well, what about your extraterrestrial crop circles?

Instincto / Anopsology / hard coconut meat
« on: January 08, 2013, 04:04:58 pm »
A few days ago I ate hard coconut meat. Although its taste is fine, it seems to be impossible for me to digest it properly (and no instinct will protect me against the resulting indigestion). I even guess there is nobody else who is able to digest hard coconut meat properly and completely. The only possibility (for me) to get all the nutrients out of it and not to risk indigestion seems to be to make coconut cream out of it. Coconut meat is too expensive and precious to throw it on the compost heap... How about you?

In the morning I ate the venison (male deer) hanging in the fridge. Its taste reminded me strongly of liver - I could hardly believe that I was NOT eating liver.

I ate wild boar for the first times. It was very tasty and spicy, had a deep flavor, tasted much better than, for example, salted raw bacon. However, for me there is still nothing as satisfying as fatty fish, so I guess, that seafood will remain my favorite food for the time beeing. Today I bought venison - it´s smell is amazing...

"Gcb supressed the fact that instincts are attracted by meat/animal foods very regularly"
I wonder where you’ve got this strange idea. Anyway, even if he would have suppressed this fact (which is in no way the case), anyone should have spontaneously found it out just by applying his theory.

Well, I should have said "concealed". He concealed this fact in his book, perhaps because many (or most) people interested in nutrition are influenced by vegetarian ideas.

Yes, I heard that some “instinctos” (mostly working at Orkos) were or became vegetarians / vegans after Nicole’s death and subsequent warning of GCB not to over-consume meat from  domesticated animals. There seem to have been a foolish overreaction from some guys, to the point that a few experienced a B12 deficiency.

Not only a few, and not only those who became vegans, but almost everyone who underwent a blood test in order to explore whether or not he suffers from a vitamin B12 deficiency. It seems to be important to eat animal foods several times a week in order to prevent a B12 deficiency

Quote
But again, I wonder how some people had the really weird impression that it’s recommended to avoid meat in the instincto theory!!

Nobody claimed anything like that. But either gcb didn´t realize the importance of eating animal foods including meat on a regular and frequent basis (long-term!) or he deliberately concealed it.

Quote
Weren’t several kinds of meat along with various seafood and eggs the first foods presented everyday on the dinner table when you were there?

No.
- - - -
I have continued to eat meat (lamb), and I continue to like it. However, i still eat more fish (and seafood) than meat, cause most of the time I like seafood more. So fish is still my favorite food.
I noticed some strange, but harmless physical symptoms (such as pimples) after I began to eat meat. Not sure whether this is detoxification or intoxication or just coincidence...

Iguana,
Gcb supressed the fact that instincts are attracted by meat/animal foods very regularly and, yes, that they should be eaten very regularly in order to stay healthy (I just hint at the vitamin B12 deficiency many instinctos suffered from). For beginners it is very important to know that because if they don't know, they will try to eat a vegan diet or an almost vegan diet because it is easier and seemingly healthier (no cancer etc.).

As far as I remember, gcb didn't even tell us to test the smell or the taste of meat regularly.

That lamb which tasted like million dollars may at any time lose its savor.

No, I don't believe that - at least meat in general will most probably not lose its savor. The lamb is still delicious to me and what's more, almost every long-term instincto I know is able to (and does) eat meat very regularly (several times a week). So this claim gcb made in his book

Quote
With our method, we’ve been afforded further insight_that is, instincts sometimes make meat appealing, especially meat left out in the open for a while, exactly as instincts do with any natural food.

is simply not true. In humans, instincts as a rule make meat appealing very regularly.

Another point about the book quoted, is that it wasn't intended as a guide to practice instinctive nutrition, but just to make his theory known to the largest audience as possible. At the time, most of the people interested in nutrition where vegetarians, and I always felt he didn't want to drive them away by being too harsh against vegetarianism. Thus the tone, "yes, I understand you, folks, it would better if we could live without meat".

So you claimed that gcb lied just because he didn´t want to antagonize the vegetarians. You guys (you, gcb...) seem to have a very flexible relationship to the truth :(. In which other respects do you guys lie too?

For those interested in doing the experiment, he advised at the end of the book not to do it alone more then a week or so without having followed his introduction seminar, which lasted two days. 

Your implication that gcb told the participants of this seminar to eat animal food or meat regularly is another lie: I visited such a seminar and he didn´t tell us anything like that. On the contrary, he talked a lot about the dangers of eating meat (cancer etc.).

The problem is, first of all, that you don't agree with yourself:

Yes, you're absolutely right, we usually don't eat meat daily. One day fish, one day eggs, one day shellfish, one day avocados, one day meat, for example...
we have meat on the dinner table almost every day and if there’s no meat, we have fish or shellfish.

Gcb again, from the same link/book:

Sometimes! Not daily. Not my opinion (I don´t have any opinion concerning meat, I'm just following the signs of my body and my taste buds...), but gcb's teachings.

This group may have been small, but is was the core of the whole instincto movement.

For lunch I ate more lamb; now I feel like Herkules! :) I´m really hooked now; I wanna eat more and more lamb...

Iguana, your ignorance (or was it the meat I ate? ;D Just kidding...) sometimes makes me really aggressive. I'll cite gcb´s book linked by yourself in this thread: http://www.rawpaleodietforum.com/instinctoanopsology/who-has-read-gc-burger%27s-first-book/

I’m not in favor of meat; the less one eats of it, the better one feels in every way_I mean as far as respecting life, farm productivity, the economy, etc. is concerned. But I think that it’s wrong to be dead-set against meat from the outset. In some cases, meat can prove extremely useful therapeutically.

That´s not a true debunking of vegetarianism, is it?

How does contraception fit into meta sexuality theory?

How does having children and the responsibility of growing children fit into meta sexuality theory?


The children are raised in a group with the women of the group loving each other and helping each other raising the children. Men and women are having loving relationships with (certain) children of the group (and with each other, of course). It isn´t important whose child it is; you can have a loving relationship with any child of the group. A paradise for pedophiles ... and therefore dangerous, I guess.

And in spite of this 100% raw vegan diet I didn´t have, for example, tooth problems any longer. I guess that most health problems of so called raw food dieters / instinctos result from not practicing their diet strictly or result from a very restricted choice of foods or a serious eating disorder.

This has never been the case of the old of the old ones in Switzerland and in France :
Iguana, as you know by yourself, GCB himself practiced a vegan/vegetarian (including goat milk) raw food diet in the beginning.

I even practiced a 100% vegan instincto diet for one and a half year in the past.

I never have heard of a vegan or vegetarian instincto trend in Germany. However, (almost) all raw food dieters don´t eat a strict raw food diet anyway. I sometimes doubt that there is any strict raw food dieter out there. l)

I just ate lamb. It was delicious, it was very tender...
... and makes me feel so strong!  :o Meat was clearly a missing piece in my diet.
The chickweed I find in the woods isn´t tasty any longer, however, there is delicious chickweed growing in the compost heap of my father.

I´m just eating sea spaghetti (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Himanthalia_elongata), one of my favorite foods for years. However, I like fresh dulse (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palmaria_palmata) even more.

Currently, my favorite fruit is the prickly pear. It has always been one of my favorite fruits.
Other favorite foods of mine are currently chickweed and white cabbage (unprocessed), but, of course, I cannot eat much of them.

Well, my so-called instinct simply didn´t allow me to eat significant amounts of the meat of land animals (except sometimes in the form of salted air-dried bacon and, of course, liver, brain, bone marrow). So what should I have done, Iguana? Suddenly, I don't know why, this blockade has disappeared. Physically, I felt very well (perhaps better than ever before) before this happened.

I´m just eating soaked sesame seeds. Yummy! Sesame seeds which have been soaked in water for a day (or longer) are much tastier to me than dry sesame seeds.

Currently, I also love persimmons and seaweed "Dulce" or "dulse" (fresh, but aged in the fridge till they are soft).

Eating meat AND fish (instead of just eating seafood as animal food) I feel clearly stronger - physically stronger and more self-confident.

In the previous days I ate...

mackerels (my favorite food for years)
pork (I love especially the fat!)
chicken liver (however, respecting the instinctive signals I cannot eat liver in greater amounts on a regular basis)
bone marrow (I love it!)
almonds
fresh walnuts (tasting like heaven, so I ordered 18 kg fresh walnuts per ebay)
coconut (one of my favorite plant foods for years)
avocado
fruit (mostly overripe bananas)
vegetables (such as tomato, radish and radish greens - radish greens are one of my favorite greens)

Instincto / Anopsology / Re: Salt
« on: October 14, 2012, 11:54:08 pm »
There are instinctos and other raw food eaters in Germany who believe that one cannot digest proteins and in particular raw meat if one doesn´t consume sufficient amounts of salt. Therefore, they drink, for example, every morning a sea salt solution or seawater or (if they are not instinctos) they eat salted meat or the like. What do you think about that? Do you consume seasalt or seawater on a regular basis? I like seaweed, but if I don´t eat any seaweed I probably don´t consume much salt.

Well, until lately I wasn´t able to eat significant amounts of the unprocessed muscle meat of land animals (although I could and can eat liver, brain, bone marrow, fish etc.). When I tried to eat the muscle meat I sensed an early instinctive stop and when I ate the meat in spite of this stop, I didn´t digest it well.

Now my nutrition will certainly change a bit because I can eat the (completely unprocessed) meat of land animals now! In the previous days I ate a lot of bone marrow and tasted the meat and fat sticking on the bones. The meat (beef) and fat tasted delicious and there was no instinctive stop until none of the meat was left. I digested it well, so I bought a slice of pork and hang it into the fridge. I then tried to eat it - it tasted delicious and there was no early instinctive stop, so I could eat quite a bit of it. The quality was certainly not ideal (organic), but now that I know I´m able to eat significant amounts of meat I´ll try to get meat of better quality.

I didn´t eat any extra salt in the previous months (or even years?), so obviously no lack of salt was to blame that I wasn´t able to eat/digest significant amounts of meat.

A friend of mine reported this. He goes hunting in Botswana, Zimbabwe and Zambia every year. Hunter gatherers and village people there eat some parts of the intestines of grazers, well cooked, however.
