Also I have no king, but do accept Alphagruis' black girlfriend as my queen.

I wonder where humans sense of smell ranks for mammals, primates? I would assume humans evolved in a manner that their sense of smell greatly diminished in place so other higher functioning (pattern recognition, ability to read, etc..) mechanisms could develop.

I still wonder how eating instincto in the wild, where it needs to take place for it to be taken seriously, would change the intake of the diet. Perhaps raw zero carb would rule in the wild. And in the wild you may adhere to your other instinctive practices which also must necessarily be adhered to so that the diet part is maximized. Like defecating instinctively, being naked, masturbating, etc...

I think the only way to detect gallstones is to get an ultrasound.

I am in the process of seeing if I have any gallstones or biliary blockage by doing a cleansing diet composed of the following and then liver flushing.

egg yolks + lime as my main source of calories
Chinese bitters and Gold coin grass in the morning for dissolving the stones
Castor oil packs for an hour a day on the liver for disturbing anything clogged in the liver/gallbladder area
Coffee enemas to further help get bile flowing
Grape bitters taken before or after meals
Apple cider vinegar taken before meals and especially the few days before the liver flush

This is just a few things you can do to enhance liver/gallbladder cleansing.

Some people swear by liver flushing and others believe it is dangerous and can possibly move a stone into the common bile duct which would necessitate surgery. From the reports on curezone it seems that very few ever have problems flushing and I haven't heard one case of someone needing surgery because of a liver flush.

There is a discussion board here -http://www.curezone.com/forums/f.asp?f=447 on liver flushes where you can read all you want to know about others experiences.

There is also a survey of about a 1000 people who have gone through liver flushing with the reports here - http://www.curezone.com/faq/p/s.asp?a=28,571,2826&s=21

There is absolutely no consensus and no clinical trials and multiple varieties of liver flushes though the most commonly used one is the Hulda Clark flush.

I have completed two liver flushes with no stones being removed, though I didn't follow the recipe and ignored the epsom salts. I did have a powerful headache(stronger than any in the past several months) within a couple days of my last flush so I might possibly have moved some sludge around and not out.

Many people will flush dozens of times and its generally recommended that you flush until you get 3 consecutive flushes with no stones. Though some people think the mixture (olive oil and citrus) combined with the bile is what leads to the green stones that so many people report. This does make sense to me but does not explain the black stones or the calcified stones that some people report getting out.

Many people here have done the flushes with mixed results.

You can scroll to the bottom of this man's blog to read about his incredible journey flushing
http://curezone.com/blogs/f.asp?f=1196

It took him 50 flushes to get out the stones. The one big issue with most of these people flushing is that they have horrible diets that they return to and may prevent them from ever removing all the stones.

This is just a small piece of what you will find on curezone. Most will recommend a low-fat fruitarian-esque diet or even juice diet before flushing and since I don't really like think this is healthy at all I am testing whether or not this predoimantly egg yolk diet will replace all the fruit.

Also, blood tests can show issues with the liver. Bilirubin, ceruloplasmin and copper levels are indicative of whether or not there is biliary insufficiency.

Your fast could have somehow started a healing process where stones or sludge where being removed. Thats just a guess but you would be best posting on curezone and see what those more experienced have to say.

basically (and this does not defy the mice comparison) it may be possible that our diet is one that is extremely high in fat by 'design' (more so than other animals) but that are need for different ratios (higher or lower) is only culled upon by the onset of diseases due to previous inheritance and poor diet.

The thing with epilepsy is that it is a childhood disorder unlike many other diseases of civilization and so it happens to an organism that is sufficiently good at eliminating toxins and does not have the accumulated effects of decades of poor diet which would disrupt the organism's ability to handle certain diets. Diabetics cannot handle sugar and those with gallstones do not handle fat that well and these diseases do not usually come before 40 years  old.

Since childhood epilepsy still persists today, I would assume that whatever predisposes one to it has been genetically selected for epilepsy for perhaps all of time on earth

Similarly type I diabetics seem to do well on ketogenic diets and again  those children may very well have the same extraordinary benefits as those with epilepsy. There is some evidence that autistic kids benefit from ketogenic diets.

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/12693778

Thus, epilepsy, autism, type I diabetes and likely many others have all been intertwined in our genetic code for quite some time and one would think that they would have been selected against long ago since they occur before reproduction age. Cancer, heart disease and type II diabetes are selected against and are true diseases of civilization and thus generally only appear after reproduction age. So do these disorders that appear well before reproduction age and are essentially cured by a ketogenic diet prove that indeed this diet is optimal?

hmm, that would be interesting to find out first of all what the percentage of wild animals that were epileptic. From there we could induce epilepsy and then try to treat it with a ketogenic diet or their natural diet. If the ketogenic diet does not work for the animal as well as the natural diet for helping with the epilepsy then again this would further show that humans are meant for high-fat.

Had 16 egg yolks yesterday with 4 squeezed limes and a touch of honey. I was only hungry right before bed but instead of going in for the starch just went to sleep. I don't plan on making this a low calorie experiment at all. I wasn't that hungry so I didn't eat.

This morning I went to go pick blueberries at a local farm. pickyourown.org is a great site with a list of farms that allow you to pick your own fruits. The blueberries were excellent for the most part and definitely sweeter than the store variety, almost like candy. I went with my mom and we picked 7.5 pounds and I ate about half of them myself.

That was a mistake and for one of the first times ever I had whole undigested food in my stool within hours of intake. Lots of blueberry skin. I didn't feel bad at all, just had quite a bit of rumbling in my stomach and frequent trips to the toilet. Perhaps this is a good sign that food is going through me quickly. It seems I am perpetually clogged.

I gave myself a coffee enema yesterday and somehow absorbed almost all of it.

I got some blood tests back about a week ago. Elevated bilirubin, low ceruloplasmin, low white blood cell count. This again makes perfect sense about my troubles with zero-carb. I plan on liver flushing in about a week if I can stay on this diet high in yolks. Hopefully the combination of this liquid diet, chinese herbs and enemas does the trick and I get something out.

I should be getting a good amount of raw butter here soon.

I was really bummed about USA losing to Ghana, they played well and had so many more chances to score just couldn't connect. I've played soccer my entire life. I really should get back into playing.

Assumption - A properly administered ketogenic diet will remove nearly all seizures from nearly all epileptic children.

For me, this is the best evidence we have that a diet high in animal fats is indeed correct and most likely optimal for humans. No other diet can even come close to matching the efficacy of ketogenic diets have with obliterating epilepsy.

Unfortunately, the way these diets are normally administered is quite improper - nothing is raw and vegetable oils seem to make up a decent part as well as quite a bit of cheating going on for sure and there are significant (2-6%) amount of kids that get kidney stones.

I was wondering if someone could make an argument that the fact that ketogenic diets work so well for epileptics does not imply that they should work so well for the rest of humans. Are epileptics really that much of a fluke that some non-natural diet provides such an enormous relief of symptoms could somehow not translate to optimality for the rest of us? I really don't think so.

Simply put - the ketogenic diet is 80-95 percent fat with the rest protein and little to no carbohydrate. Also interesting is that kids will still do well with such little protein in their diet, the most anabolic period of their lives.

Well, that was a good bedtime story. We can all put little instincto to bed.

I think if I could intravenously get my nutrition I would as this would surpass digestion and allow any of those organs to heal if need be. That might be wrong but that would be interesting to do if possible.

Eating a mono-diet as prescribed by quite a few on the forum probably mimics this as much as possible and this is another reason to do just the yolks without the whites. The yolks, I would guess are probably easier to digest by themselves.

I suppose I am on day 2 of the yolk and starch diet. I had 6 yolks with a touch of honey and then some yams in the afternoon with a bunch of raw butter. I tried some wild caught salmon (300g) and that was pretty decent. I had a few small fruits mixed in as well and overall ate much less than I had the last few weeks and was pretty hungry when i went to bed and had a few more fruits but was able to control the total outbreak that normally happens. I think part of this control had to with my evening in which I spent with one of my friends who has more mental instability than me. I was rigorously honest with him and was able to open up and speak freely and confidently. This no doubt helped me maintain control of my food intake.

Today though I had a bit of a fruit implosion along with some milk and passed out immediately after. I did have more potatoes with butter which tasted very good almost to the point of healing.

I also front squatted 315 for a 15 pound PR.

I finally got something on tape

The added info is great - I have seen very few reports about anyone really staying on this egg yolk cleansing type diet for an extended period of time. Re: egg whites - There are several members here who report bad experiences with egg whites and a paper posted on the lack of digestibility of the whites (likely unfertile). I'm not sure how this translates into removal of toxins especially if its taken together with the yolk. Wouldn't it pull some good nutrition with it through the bowels? The same thing that fiber does. I have some green clay that I haven't used in a while that is supposedly good for pulling toxins through and I might go ahead and start using this in the mornings instead of using eating the whites. Rooney advocated activated charcoal for beginners as well, which looks like it would work. I will stick with the yolks for now and maybe experiment with the whites later on, and especially so if I can get fertilized eggs.

I'm not sure what to think of complete fasting yet. I'd rather not try it seeing as you are guaranteed to lose muscle. I wonder if fasting for a few days at a time while doing this yolk diet would be the best of both worlds. Moving towards zero-carb seems like it would be a good step before fasting so maybe I will start skipping days when I eat once I get my fat calories up high enough.

Connective tissue I believe. I have nearly choked to death on that stuff many times. Some pieces of meat seem to have quite an absurd amount and in fact I have chewed some of that stuff for over 30 minutes and it doesn't seem to be easier to swallow. What I do though is hold one end of the wad in my mouth and pull the other side with my hands and some of the strands will break loose to small enough pieces that I can swallow. I've now realized the struggle with this tissue is not really worth it and will spit it out and throw it away, though it does make for everlasting gum if you happen to miss it.

I have some hypotheticals for GCB or Iguanna that I think would be quite interesting.

What kind of benefits would I enjoy by choosing the instincto route over a lower carb (say at most 30% calories from carbs) raw paleo diet which includes mostly domesticated animal meats and fats over the period of 1 year, 5 years, a lifetime?

Do you think conventional raw paleo as how most members on this board follow is dangerous? What are the worst problems that those following raw paleo will encounter?

Would a low-fat Ornish type diet (one that western medicine propagates) be better than a low-carb raw paleo diet?

How big of a difference would it make choosing instincto in a modern home thousands of miles away from the tropics vs living within a small tribe of gathering folk naked in the tropics over the course of a lifetime.

Do you die following instincto? If you do, is lifespan increased? How do you die?

When would one succumb to protein overload (100g/day? 300g/day?)

Do you apply instinctual reasoning to other aspects of life? If you feel like fighting (or even killing) someone do you do this? I understand we are not anywhere near our same environment but it would be interesting to find out which instincts you do listen to.
