I am up to page 78 in your blog, reading about the amount of water people drink.  Just want to let you know that I had serious problems with several kidney stones when I was 19 years old.  The Dr. said drink a gallon of water every day, no matter what.  I have been doing that for over 50 years now and so far no more kidney stones.  I would feel a spasm/pain coming on and would lay down because I would pass out from the pain.  After 50 years I still shutter when I think of the pain.  I pee every hour or so during the day and 3 or so times a night.  A real hassle, but nothing compared to the horror of KSs.

I am on page 40 of this thread.  I have tried to open your manual on pemmican and get a blank page.  Any suggestions on how to download the manual?  Have you discussed how to eat what you a eating, but with it cooked?  I aim to start with cooked food and slowly introduce raw.  I am on a low carb diet, but have trouble getting enough fat, so I eat too much protein.  When we make meat loaf most of the fat is in the pan.  I am looking for suggestions on how to eat this fat.

I too, have been down may roads in the diet world, and have read most of the books you have referenced and have come to a similar conclusion.  At 69 years old I am in OK health, but wish to be all I can be.

Thank you for being you and sharing yourself.  A quote of mine that "There is no predicting how long it may take for the obvious to become apparent", seems to apply to the world of diet experts.
