Thank you Jessica.
I appreciate your opinion too very much.

What do you think, would just about one to three mushrooms be fine first time?
I have these tiny small ones, Pislocybe semilanceata;



Maybe I will try just very few then. If / when I feel like it.

I just have Biology in school (I go to high school for adults in Helsinki, almost finished ).
My Teacher just told us, it is always better to mate someone that is genetically very different. Makes healthier babies.
We had about genetics etc. this week. Very intresting.
HA. Now I know.. the Vikings were very clever, travelling around and raping the beautiful women from different countries...
Fresh blood. Healthy genes.

Elk (Moose) that is my staplemeat here in Scandinavia, have very little fat too.
Ground elkmeat has only 3 % fat. Really no fat there.

I tried to live only from local wild meat and berries etc. in the summer. Just for one week, I just got no fat at all. I got such cravings for coconut(fat) I had to stop my experiment.
So there cannot have been much fat around. Of course they ate marrow and brains but there was not lot of these. I guess everybody shared them, and they were looked at as the best parts, as fat was so rare. That is why. I do not believe we need huge amounts of fat either. At least not when eating fruit and veggies as Tyler said.
For therapeutic reasons it might be great for a while though.. to fat-load.

If you have a good source (organic or pastured) whole eggs are great! Eat the eggshell too if you like!
I use to make this party-joke sometimes eating the whole egg with shell and all only with my hands and teeth before friends, they think it is fun. It really is very possible, the shell is not so hard at all!

I usually eat more yolks as whites though, as I like the taste better. I do like the withes too mostly!

Tyler, I cannot help to say,
I LOVE how you tackle this parasite thing. 

(I wonder myself when I will get those parasites but they never occur? I have also eaten raw herring that I recognized later had live worms in it..eh.. but no, I frequently take a look into the toilet after **** but nothing there,
all looks perfectly great )

Oh no Sabertooth, I feel with you!
To help the wound heal, put clay on it (I use edible clay mixed with water to a paste) and cabbage leaves (that you might crush a little to get the juice come out)on the top! This is really good to heal infected wounds. Before, rinse well under cold water.
I would not eat more from the infected meat - to help your body heal. It will, I am sure as you are strong and healthy.
Take care.

Welcome Raw12!
Do not be afraid . I have eaten high meat lot of times and here I am, still . Feeling great!
I am happy for you and your loved ones!

I feel the same 
 

I drink a lot of herbal teas (grown wild or organic) and it makes me feel great, or say, I do not recognize anything negative from them.
Coffee is another story. If I drink coffee, it has to be organic, very limited amount, and I have to sip it very very slowly otherwise I feel really bad somehow. So I think it is not really healthy.
I do manage to drink organic coffee with cardamom and coconutoil at times.. slowly sipping on it for hours... cause it just taste so delicious to me  and is a great aprodiziacum.. BUT I can fairly sure tell, it is stressing the body, as herbal tea is not.
I seem to tolerate it well when I use it in minimal doses though. I would never tell anyone to drink coffee if they had not to begin with.
Coffee is clearly a drug to me.

Here my bloodwork I got today (I do them twice every year since last 1,5 years);

(liver)
S-Afos........43 (35.....105)
S-Alat.........22 (10......45)

(blood lipides)
Cholestrerol all together...298  mg/dl
HDL...........105
LDL............182
Triglycerides...44

(regular bloodwork)
B-Hb...........134 g/l (115....155)
B-Leuk.........5.2 10E9/l (3.3.....8,2)
B-Eryt..........4.3 10E12/ (3.85...5.2)
B-HKR..........38 % (34......46)
E-MCV..........88 fl (82......98)
E-MCH..........31 pg (27......33)
E-MCHC.......355 g/l (320...355)
B-Trom........263 E9/l (145...360)

(specific vitamins)
B12 vit........546 pmol/l (180...700)
S-D25 vit......91 nmol/l (50.....175)
(my doctor told me to have optimal bone-healt one should aim for minimum 80 nmol/l vit D)

I have to say I am really happy!  My doc was very pleased too, just not about my cholesterol levels.. But after we talked a moment she realized they was really good too (low triglycerides and high HDL).
 I got to this vit. D level only with sun, just a few vit D pills in the winter on occasion. No other supplements at all, all these 3 years.
I will take vit D supps this winter though, as I want my level to stay at least that high.

All good, no tummy problems at all.

I never got foodpoisoning from shellfish or any fish. Just from spinach soup - and from highmeat I forgot to air.

I wonder if Jessica is into something here.. hm.
When some basic demands are fulfilled our bod should be able to heal itself. It just takes some time.

Sunshine comes through clouds too, quite a large %. So do not let cloudy weather hinder you from benefitting from the sun! Also fresh air does so good for the skin. Being inside houses is not as great for healing.

You have to be very careful that the mussels are alive when eaten! They start to get poisonous shortly after they die. Just take care that they are closed, when open, then you just knock on them and if they don't close soon, they are dead. Throw away. Never eat a dead mussel. A mussel alive open and close itself.
I controlled every single mussel before I ate it, and no problem whatsoever.

Farmed mussels are very good - as very natural. They do not get fed or anything, farmers just put up some wooden poles or strings or such into the sea to which the mussels attach themselves. Nothing else is done, they are free in  the water, no food or anything added. Very easy and good for the environment!    So do not be afraid of farmed mussels.

I really felt great after eating them so that is for me a sign that they are totally a superfood.
