Very good post.  It has to do with being "hyper-vigilant ."  PTSD is common with this problem too.  From a purely mental point of view, I used to suck down mountain dews and eat pizza pockets and fast food without thinking twice.  Now i sometimes question "healthy" things that I eat.  Or we wonder if our bodies are going to do what we want.  The mind gets basically permanently stuck in a "fight/flight" mode and is always on guard.  This gives rise to stress, easier food sensitivities, and all kinds of health issues.  We have to "unstick" the mechanism that is doing this false protection.  Some ways I have found particularly useful:

-cheat on your diet here and there.  Once you see that you survived eating "bad food," your body relaxes a lot on the good stuff

-EFT/acupuncture can relax the system a lot.

-I partly blame big cities for turning people this way.  It's hard not to be on edge all the time when there are traffic, smog, yelling, EMF's, sirens, trains, honking 24/7.  I think just taking a nice nap out in nature and purposely taking some deep breaths really helps.

The system won't calm down over night, but as I have learned to relax a bit, I realized how tense i was for a long time.  People just don't quite understand the power of this mind-body stuff.  If you look up the people who live the longest they never say "I was super-exact and careful of what I ate, I NEVER cheated on my diet, and i calculated my food ratios every day."

They say, "I ate right, had an amazing relationship with God/The universe/Nature, Good family ties, low stress, lived a life i loved, had a job i was passionate about, a chance to grow, etc."  There are so many factors.

Its anywhere from 80-100 degrees out right now.  Somewhat high humidity.  I guess I'm still new with the raw meat stuff and not sure how to "cure" it right so that it preserves and doesn't turn into something rotten.  The jerky sounds really appealing though.

Try avocados too, and raw eggs.  Those are all easy to digest.  Sushi sashimi is another good option but watch the mercury.  Also, i know this isn't as recognized here but all of the issues you have are energetically related to the 3rd chakra.  This is the center for self-esteem, willpower, personal power, sensitivity to criticism,etc.  Basically, if that center is shut down then you will not be getting "energy" to those organs.  Pancreas, liver, digestion, etc.  Not saying this is your problem but something worth looking into.  No diet will fix those problems.  I think eating very well is key to healing but it is far from the only piece.

Natural disaster hit my area.  Had no power for 2 1/2 days.  Kept stuff on ice best as i could but frozen atlantic caught salmon thawed out.  Probably 10-12 filets.  I don't think refreeze is a good option.  They are in the fridge currently.  I'll probably eat a few sashimi style in the next few days but no way i will eat all of them.  Any ideas?  Best i got is that my brother eats cooked salmon a lot cooked in skillet.  I'm thinking about just grilling/baking most of them and then freezing them so he can just reheat later.

Not with what i have Polyvore.  Reserve energy = recovery as long as i moderately exercise.  Bodyweight is plenty to get muscle growth for me right now.  Basically i'm focusing on supersetting different exercises.  Pushups/pullups, chair dips/wide grip pull ups, lunges/ab work, etc.  Popping back and forth quickly creates a pretty challenging workout for me right now.  My nervous system just does not want the hardcore recruitment right now that lifting heavy brings into play.  I will get there eventually.  And besides that, I plan on adding in sprints once a week or so soon.  I know that will help gain muscle mass, growth hormone, etc.

Hit_IT_RAW, yea i have some bone marrow around but i don't eat it much it seems like.  I still sear my red meats and it doesn't seem that the raw marrow exactly goes with it.  I have an amazing mix though from a lady around here that is liver/heart/tongue/ground beef.  Pretty fatty.  What else would you use marrow with?

Hey guys,

Recovering from probably lyme, adrenal issues, toxic overload, etc.  Not much spare energy in the tank.  Trying to regain some of my muscle weight from before i was ill.  Lifting heavy weights is out of the question as my nervous system needs resting.  So basically I'm using bodyweight training, good nutrition, and loads of rest, with some qigong to facilitate recovery.  Any ideas on eating plans, regimes, etc?

Positive step for vast majority of people.  We need stepping stones.  People are not so keen on eating raw eggs, milk, and rare or raw meats and organs.  If it gets people off processed garbage food, then it is a good thing.

As i crack open a few raw eggs for breakfast I think about something that pops up in my mind a lot.  Who is to blame for the terrible diet/lifestyle most people in America maintain?  How did "Good" food become "gross?" How did "normal, natural" food become only something "health nuts" eat?  It just seems so backwards to me.  God/nature created all of the real food, but we have been taught to reject it.  I don't think there is a real "answer" to this question but just wanted to see some viewpoints.

For me, I think there is no one group to blame.  I think human's are gullible animals that can be programmed by other human beings.  Humans such as those that work for food corporations, pharmaceuticals, some governments, religious institutions, etc.  They know how to play tricks on people.  Also, I think we are creatures of habit and convenience.  Unfortunately, in America, most people relay their own responsibility for their health into the hands of corrupt upper class.  So i guess i blame people up top doing the programming primarily, but also ourselves for not listening to God and our inner voice about what is "good" and what is "not good."

This is very important but don't stress too much.  Here are a few good links.

I have heard good things about the healthy baby code but honestly it is probably very similar to weston price/sally fallon guidelines as well.  Just make sure easily digestible food, probably no raw veggies, rich in nutrition.  I will say though that I do not have children and have never looked into this but that is what my gut says.  Hopefully this helps.

Yea its a calorie issue primarily.  Basically i had terrible atlas subluxation = no power to my organs so now that i'm starting to unload the calories need to come in

I think its the carbs really.  I eat plenty of bone marrow, olive oil, raw butter, eggs, coconut oil, and some fatty meats, avocados, sometimes nuts, etc.  But yea basically its my system learning to rely on fruits and juices more.  The problem is i can't stomach the fiber that would come with eating large amounts of raw vegetables so i cook them and it works fine.

Hey guys,

I have noticed that my system seems somewhat confused with the raw animal products.  Today i have had some bone marrow, lightly cooked "liver/heart/tongue/ground beef" mixture, and some raw liver blended with some veggies.  Oh, and a good amount of raw sauerkraut.  Anyways, I end up craving things like Avocados, tortilla chips, carbs, nut butters, etc.  High calorie comfort foods.  So basically i have 2 theories here.

1. My system is taking awhile to get used to the raw animal foods and likes having some mush in there with it so not by itself

2.  Some bug die-off or cravings caused by eating these foods and not getting slowed down so much during transit.

Anybody else have experience with this?  Seems like I had to stop myself from mowing through a bag of chips or whatever.  I am also undergoing chiropractic treatments which are causing healing reactions so I think whatever bugs i may have in my system are unhappy anyways.  It is also possible i just need more carbs in general right now as my body tries to heal itself.

Will give it a shot.  Avocado or cucumber seem to mix good or sashimi
