His doctor said that the cause of his ALS is that there is much mercury inside his body, presumably caused by his daily consumption of wild-caught fish, which has been his main diet for years because he is rich enough to afford it. What will you say about this?

    His doctor is a raw foodist?  For years he ate all raw fish only and only saw negative outcome?  Was he intentionally making more money cause he craved fish and wanted enough money for what he got in fish?  Many rich people hate fish and eat lots of prime rib.

I'm sure it's 2 weeks.
Maybe because it is the tropical weather in my location?

    You can't make higheggs there?  What if you would bury them, like some Chinese people do.  I have some really old eggs here.  Wish me luck, I am going to eat one or more today.

    WAP people say it lasts two weeks in the fridge. I say it tastes disgusting then, maybe throw it in the bath? Now, two weeks out of the fridge, that's some yummy stuff

    It sounds wonderful, thank you so much!  Uropathy with his high fruit vegetarian diet makes a lot of sense.  Fortunately or unfortunately, he reacts better to the idea of eating meat, so far.  I will share this with him.  I'm very happy for your healing!  Hopefully my son will change his mind and read your information and use it.

    @Dorothy, the reason more or less why I updated this thread at this time is because I was referring a forum member to it.

You can do this and be safe.... if anyone can do it..... you can do it.

    Hi Dorothy!

    He's getting closer and closer to believing with all his heart that eating raw meat is the best food for man.  He still has what he calls his "vegan ethics" though, so no dice.

    From everything I know, I agree with you Dorothy, eggs should come before pieces of or ground muscle meat.  Perhaps liver (raw etc of course) before the other meat.  If you'll read here http://www.rawpaleodietforum.com/hot-topics/what-would-u-do-if-u-felt-u-needed-an-er-but-had-just-eaten-raw-meat/msg48736/#msg48736 you'll see where he's at on eggs.  I would support him in doing the meat without eggs first, if or when he does it.  He doesn't feel emotionally ready yet to eat terrestial meat.

    He's had awful reactions when accidentally ingesting a tiny bit of cooked egg or meat in the past.

    He did try raw fish earlier in this thread.  We didn't go to a doctor or hospital when it turned terribly bad, it was his decision not to go. It was his decision to try the fish etc. He enjoyed the feeling eating it each of the first couple days.  It was his suggestion I started this thread in the first place.   He is of age and mind to decide whether to go to a doctor.  He has had way out of the ordinary and ordinary in both cases through MDs very in depth psychological tests, and he has regular psych evaluations, and they find nothing wrong yet, in their expert opinons.  They consider that there's nothing wrong with his mind, besides not being happy about being sick, but that's a normal response.  He has a doctor of his own who since knowing us has investigated raw milk, and is a believer now, although not a practicer of it.  This doctor is not very close by physically for an emergency, and son is concerned, so ..

.. I also take in a good quantity of coconut oil (good source of saturated fat) and raw salmon.

    I did AV style raw fresh made coconut cream and salmon on this diet way before I got to marrow, brain, backfat and suet too.

... I make my own spices out the whole plant. For instance I bought fresh tumeric root last time I shopped which I will dehydrate at a low temperature and grind myself and use in my food as my food. I have drawers of herbs I have grown and only a few that I have had to buy. I will take some of tumeric roots and put them in pots to grow so that hopefully I won't have to buy more. When I have the fresh herb I use that. Sometimes I will eat just oregano and basil for instance from my garden as a snack alone and then sometimes I will use my dried stores of it with other foods... ... They add to the creativity and joy of preparing and eating foods and when I eat them I feel that they are very nutritious for me.

But that might not be the case if someone is buying regular spices in the stores with fillers and that are irradiated - or for people that are very delicate.

    In my chefing days I prepared and foraged all my spices and herbs from scratch too, same way as you. I used a lot more herbs for other people than when preparing food for myself or my family, at least in general I did.  If we needed an herbal treatment I might make something powerful, if it needed that.  You know, when I "cooked" for Ann Wigmore,  she taught never to use seasonings for Energy Soup, their staple, as it was for healing.  The idea was for the body to heal itself, as herbs catalyzed things rather than just allowing.  She allowed herbs if prescribed by your own naturopath for the students in the most extreme shape. In other food items I could add some herbs for flavor.

What confuses me about snake oil is, if Snake Oil A really works, why is there also Snake Oil B? ... I'm not condemning snake oil, just confused about it.

    I wonder if snake oil was used long ago for the same things some people here now use cod liver oil, skate oil or shark oil.  Did they stop because maybe it didn't work as well?

Don't you dare get rid of that nutmeg grinder! ... or at least mail it to me. 

    I think I had a grinder. If so, I will probably run a cross it sooner or later. When that happens, I guess I should ask you for your shipping address? ..

    I agree, I love the magic of cooking too etc and av does use ginger, vanilla and a bunch of other flavors.  Do you have RFLWD?  I (or we) even got a three pot slow cooker recently and I made a meal for my cooked food eater in it.  I was anticipating once the the food started getting near done it would fill the house with familiar aromas of time past.  It did cook, but it kept the food smell well in its pots.  The smell that filled the room (IMO) instead was like burnt plastic or something like that.  It didn't look like it was getting damaged.  I said something to dh, and he said that's normal with these devices, that they always smell like that the first few times, but that there's no harm to anything.  Actually, I was disappointed in the smell, as although I didn't want to smell the cooking food, I would have much preferred it over plastic.  When I did eat cooked food growing up and later which was often a little of every meal, we (or I) used cooking gas. 

    I love the way on a raw food diet so little spice is needed, if any .. a little goes a long way.  A recipe that might normally take .. say .. six different spices at once may taste just as good with only three spices and I do mean not increasing the quantities of even the three .. or two.

If you go looking for singular toxins out of context you head will start to reel and you will stop eating anything. Takes nuts in general for instance. Yeah - they have things in them are bad that's why you don't want to try to live on them exclusively, but there are also loads of great things in them.

    I don't consider spices to be food.  I love food, they don't need spice for me.  Starches do, need spice for me.  I consider that spices are often used to prevent worms and parasites that are gotten with starch foods. 

    Some of AVs meat pastes or sauces contain nuts, but he has his ways of avoiding the pitfalls of nut toxins.  He has mentioned that the reason he has recipes of spice pastes etc is so that when from time to time when he loses his desire to taste meat, he makes the spiced meat dishes to get him over that hump.  He wrote the recipe book to help others with similar (plus there's lots of valuable information in it).  His spice mixes each or many contain a wide variety of different spices in each one.  I don't think any contain nutmeg though.  Like you say, "singular toxins".  Who needs it?  Many people are using raw paleo diet to heal, not because they are already healthy and are ready for the magically spiced recipes.      Many have neurological damage, and might do well to stay away from things like cacao and nutmeg that have a painful effect on parts of their nerve tissue.

The wound in the cows neck heals up somehow.

    I saw a video before, and they used dry earth to stop the cow right away from bleeding after.  I can't find that one now.

Rawzi,
 Would you happen to have a link to the interview? i'm really interested in knowing more about this subject.

I'm going to be ninety in September. Everybody else can have a piece of the birthday cake, but not me. I have rules, and I follow 'em. No cake, no pie, no candy, no ice cream! Haven't had any in seventy-five years. It makes me feel great not eating birthday cake. That's the gift I give myself.

Forget about what you used to do. This is the moment you've been waiting for.

Don't ask me about politics. I don't like to get into Barbra Streisand-ism. Let's stick to what's important.

When I was younger, I drank a quart of blood a day for about six weeks. I'd get it at the slaughterhouse. I'd heard about those Masais, you know, those seven-foot African guys; they'd drink cattle blood for strength. Then one day a little clot got stuck in my throat and that was it for me.

As long as the emphasis is on winning, you're gonna have steroids.

If man makes it, don't eat it.

Of course I have fears. But what good is thinking or talking about them? Billy Graham is about the hereafter. I'm for the here and now.

You've got to satisfy you. If you can't satisfy you, you're a failure.

I work out for two hours every morning, seven days a week -- even when I'm traveling. I hate it. But I love the result! That's the key, baby!

The only way you can hurt your body is if you don't use it.

Look, are you a suckling calf? Name one creature on earth that uses milk after it's weaned. Man's the only one. And man's the only one who lives out only half his life span. A cow has four stomachs. You don't. You can't handle whole milk.

I'd like to talk to Jesus about those twelve disciples. They were a great public-relations team.

If you want to change somebody, don't preach to him. Set an example and shut up.

Scales lie! You lose thirty pounds of muscle and you gain thirty pounds of fat and you weigh the same, right? Take that tape measure out. That won't lie. Your waistline is your lifeline. It should be the same as it was when you were a young person.

If you lose a couple of inches off your stomach, your business down there will look an inch longer.

Sex is giving, giving, giving. The more energy you have, the more you're going to please.

Now, I'm not as sexually active as I was when I was younger. But look at my wife -- she's still smiling!

The guy who's most impressed me is Paul C. Bragg. He completely saved my life. When I was a kid, I was addicted to sugar. I was a skinny kid with pimples and boils. Used to eat ice cream by the quart. I had blinding headaches. I tried to commit suicide. And then one day, my life changed. Bragg was a nutritionist. My mother and I were a little late getting to his lecture. The place was packed, and so we started to leave. But Bragg said, "We don't turn anybody away here. Ushers, bring two seats. Put those two up on the stage." It was the most humiliating moment. There I was, up on stage. I was so ashamed of the way I looked; I didn't want people to see me. Little did I know they had problems, too. And Bragg said, "It doesn't matter what your age is, what your physical condition is. If you obey nature's laws, you can be born again." From that moment on, I completely changed my diet, began to exercise, and went on to become captain of the football team. And do you know something? Every time I get ready to lecture, I think, If I can just help one person like I was helped...

Show me the guy who doesn't get nervous in front of a crowd and I'll show you a lousy speaker.

Would you get your dog up every day, give him a cup of coffee, a doughnut, and a cigarette? Hell, no. You'd kill the damn dog.

You learn as you go. When I first went on television in 1951, I pulled out a loaf of Langendorf's white bread, squeezed it into a ball, and threw it down -- boom. "That's what it does when it hits your stomach!" I said. Only problem was that Langendorf's was one of the network's sponsors! Oh, jeez, the phone calls. That's the last time I ever showed a label.

Go on, have a glass of wine with dinner. What is wine, anyway? Pure grapes. A glass of wine is much better for you than a Coke.

If I don't know what I'm doing by now, I must be pretty stupid.

What I do isn't about money. Can you put a price on a human life?

Any stupid person can die. Dying's easy. Living's a pain in the butt.

I can't afford to die. It'll wreck my image.

. It made my stools black and tarry.

    I hadn't thought about how a large amount would come out the other end.  Thanks.

    I saw an interview of Jack LaLanne a couple of years ago. He said he quit drinking the blood after one time that a clot of the blood got caught in his throat.  If he ate egg-whites, cow blood isn't so much different, as for ethics, unless you're Hindu.

I would be surprised if sciatica were due always and only to small hips... My lower back pain has greatly improved, though not completely resolved.

    Try sticking a four inch diameter baby skull in the very narrow hips and tell me, walk around with it, don't take it out 24/7. Add the weight of a sack of amniotic fluid laying on top of that. I did have back pain before that, but not nearly as bad, evil dentist 'ton' of mercury etc.

... Women now begin shaving as soon as their first hairs sprout and so most young males will only see shaved women and believe that its the norm.

... All I ask is that it be stylishly trimmed from time to time.

    My (female) classmates talked about when we were eleven years old plans to shave when our leg hair grew in.  I knew I would shave then.  I don't know what happened, I guess once I got started.. that I got bored of it fast.

    Trimming is good.
