My theory at the moment: Austism occurs when a person with a large proportion of Neanderthal genes doesn't eat enough raw meat.

I think I have a lot of Neanderthal genes.

I have been thinking about this exact same thing for the last few days. I have had autistic tendencies(Poor ability to pay attention, obsessions, poor social skills, etc... the whole package) throughout my life. I understand social interaction completely now (or at least I think ). It's just that I tend to not want to engage in them. The poor attention span and obsessions remain though.

That article you posted describes me pretty well. I don't really care about appearances and often criticize society for placing so much importance on it. I have a very weak sense of group identity or ethnic affiliation. I even have that bump at the back of my head. My build is not lean and my limbs are not long. I even have a preference for colder climates.

I discovered it at 19. I'm barely 20 now.

Hmm... Maybe I'd be a bit taller. Maybe I wouldn't have turned out to be a total schizoid but it may be genetic; I've always been a bit weird and socially retarded.

Honestly I try not to think about the what abouts, the might have beens, and the could have beens. It only brings me down.

I think I'll be okay today. I'm eating raw sardines for the first time and WOW. They don't taste different from the cooked ones. Sardine is a very nostalgic food for me. I remember eating spicy sardine stew and anchovy was a staple when I was growing up.

Hey CHK91,

I had pretty similar symptoms actually.  I don't know what caused it, but I have a few theories.  If you want to check out my journal I go into pretty good detail on the matter.  I got sushi the day before and drank some sake at the restaurant.  Then I cleaned my house (a lot of dust).  Then I was drinking spring water from questionable sources.  Then I was violently ill with fever and other symptoms you describe.

Anything in common with what you did?

No, nothing in common with what I had done before. Some of the symptoms are similar. I was constantly tired but I couldn't get any decent quality sleep since my fever became more severe with the blankets, but I needed the blankets because at the same time I felt so cold. It was miserable. I lost 10 pounds the last 3 days. I could not eat during this period. Luckily I had some lemons around. I was so dehydrated from diarrhea. For the first time in a long while I was craving fruit probably because of the hydrating minerals. Too bad I don't really keep any around. XP I'm starting to feel better finally but I'm still weak.

Last night I woke up with an intense fever, the intensest I've ever had. I had bad chills and my muscles were completely sore and shut down. My eyes were red and hurting and had a massive headache. I don't know what time this was. I was so delirious that I couldn't really make sense of anything. Before I slept, there was no indication that anything was wrong with me. Along with these symptoms I felt pressure under my lower right ribcage that seemed to relax as time went by. Can the release of gallbaldder toxins cause these symptoms? I also had tinnitus which occurred when I've done flushes before. I wasn't doing a flush. It just happened. I've been taking herbals for for bile flow. I guess the pressure could have built up and just released all at once. I took a ton of bentonite clay which helped somewhat.

Or does this sound like food poisoning? I wasn't vomiting but had diarrhea and bile flow is also known to increase bowel movements.

The symptoms were so intense that I was so close to calling someone to take me to the hospital. I don't remember feeling this sick ever.

Even now I feel very exhausted. The fever has lowered but the headache and muscle soreness/weakness has been intense. I could barely walk properly to get water.

Any feedback would be appreciated or temporary relief remedies would be welcome. I was legitimately scared for my wellbeing. It was that bad.

Do you mean bison back fat? I searched the Northstar and Slankers sites. I didn't find any back fat at Northstar. I found this at Slankers: "bison Buffalo Fat (4# Packs)" http://www.texasgrassfedbeef.com/grass_fed_bison.htm

Does anyone know if this is the back fat or contains it?

Yes, it generally is the back fat. Sometimes you will get other non suet trimmings too.

In other sort of related news: Ron Paul is now polling 12% 

Yeah, I had this problem in the beginning too. I think it had something to do with the fact that I never had eaten so much meat regularly in my life.

I happen to be a good example of what happens to people on "civilized" diets in regards to orthodontic health. I had braces (which I ABSOLUTELY HATED) as a young teenager, but it wasn't effective in the long run. It did fix how my teeth were aligned in respect to each other. My lower jaw is underdeveloped; my chin recedes back toward my neck. Full smiles are uncomfortable for me as if my mouth isn't quite big enough for all my teeth.  My right TMJ is not in the right position, and it is throwing my facial symmetry off noticeably. My teeth are not horizontal with respect to my eyes; the side with the TMJ problem is pulled more up.

At my age, 19, is it possible at all for any of these factors to improve if not by diet but by some other method? I have been hitting vitamin D and K2 really really hard, basically a shot in the dark measure. Or... Do I have to spend the rest of my life not wanting to look in the mirror or smile?

Not the city sewer ones but the ones in the wild , a lot of people eat the wild ones but i'm curious. Could be a new food I can add to my diet 

Unfortunately in the US, the "wild" is often not far from centers of civilization. 

Ewww.... They live in civilization eating our garbage. Why would you want to? 

Hi Greg!   

Currently, I am a person without a purpose. I don't really know what I want to do with my life. Hopefully I will get an idea when I go back to school. I have an interest in helping people improve their health, but I don't know if people will listen or if I can be successful at it.  I wish I actually had some kind of talent...

This song should explain how I often feel. It's like he is commentating on my life.
