I disagree about not getting the sugars out of carrots..  Steer to leeks, garlic, cabbage, shredded broccoli stems, radishes, tasty lettuces, asparagus, bock choi.  You can also empty capsule of superior probiotics into glass of water with one teaspoon of psyllium husks and let sit on counter for a day before drinking on an empty stomach.   The psyllium will protect the bacterias from stomach acid and high ph of small intestine and thus deliver a living source of food supported ( psyllium ) bacteria...  Works quite well. 
  The trick with feeding prebiotics to your growing healthy gut bacteria is to feed them throughout the day.  Gut bacteria multiply every ten minutes.  Thus they need frequent feeding, thus you can snack on prebiotic vegetables as listed.  Leeks  are my go to, as well as cabbage, but often you hear that variety also helps.

Im not meaning for this to get personal, sometimes my raw passion gets misconstrued as impertinence, this is not my intent. Yet all civility aside there is an obtuse attitude in many of these interchanges of which I do find offensive to my sensibilities. It is provoked when other people claim that my own personal experience is somehow not valid or worthy of consideration without being backed up by an authoritative citation.

I have attempted to contact people with "proper credentials" and have attempted to communicate many of my own experiences to anyone who will listen only to be snubbed by those who are quick to dismiss ideas that do not fit their own preconceived views. I will be the first to say that Raw meat based diets may not be for everyone, there are trade offs to cooking and many people do fine on cooked diets, I am not a foodist fascist by any means, and am a totally libertarian about allowing people personal choice to live how they chose ,but regardless of this difference of ideals I will insist that there is a great cultural bias and general misunderstanding into the nature of these subjects which is preventing people from being able to make well informed dietary "dissensions".

If I may continue with the subject of cookings effect on bio-availability. There is this preconceived notion that breaking down the proteins by cooking which allows for quicker assimilation, is a positive thing without drawback. I would like to draw attention to a few contentions to this assumption. Raw fats and proteins are "suppose" to take longer to digest and assimilate, carnivores in nature will eat large portions of flesh and then not have to eat again for long periods of time. The body slowly breaks down the food and absorbs its nutrition over time to give a slow and steady supply of energy. When you consume cooked proteins and carbs that are already partially broken down they are assimilated far to quickly for the metabolic and filtration systems of the body to optimally cope with. This leads to glucose spikes in the case of refined carbs, and protein spikes in cooked meats. These protein spikes, high AGE levels, heat degraded EPA/DHA and a myriad of other contamination from aberrant agricultural practices, are what is to blame for all the bad press meat based diets have received from the establishment. For the average healthy individual these negative effects can be coped with to a certain degree, and also are mitigated by a number of modern practices of processing, as well as eating smaller portions many times a day.....but not everyone is the same and many people who do become overloaded with AGEs, or experience high blood sugars, or elevated triglycerides may benefit greatly from eating uncooked and unrefined foods which are absorbed much slower and do not cause as drastic spike in blood glucose, AGE proteins or Deranged fats.

The fat is in the skin so scrape the skin real well.

So what's the protein in hemp, beans, etc., ?

A raw diet, wont cure autoimmune diseases like crohns & colitis ... you need specific bacteria & nutrition, ie pigs stomach lining

Muscle meats & organs all harbor bacteria specific to that organs function, in addition to more universal beneficial bacteria


Autoimmune diseases, are specific low colonies of bacteria, ie crohns, colitis, require stomach tissue


Marrow & bone specific autoimmune diseases, such as leukaemia require colonies of bacteria specific to those disease's, ie bone marrow & bone filing's


Healing as on any diet, isnt universal, you're quality of life maybe superior, but the raw diet in no way replaces true naturopathy, regardless of the modality they use, whether its herbs or raw meat

Thanks for the suggestions nurture.  I think my RPD vlc/zc diet will remove candida from my body better than anything else I've tried (and I've done most things by now!)    Bee Wilder is a great source for information on dealing with Candida.

I agree with your suggestions re: mercury.  As I understand it, candida feeds on the mercury deposits and actually changes it to a non-toxic form.  The candida yeasts are actually doing us a favour!!  (as, I suspect, are most bacteria, viruses and parasites).  I believe it's a potentially dangerous thing to try dealing with the candida without dealing with the mercury and other issues.  I had all of my amalgam fillings removed about 15 years ago by a specialist in Dusseldorf, Germany.  It was unheard of in the UK at the time!  I had a full detox and it was a very professional and fully equipped operation.  I was at the clinic 9 'til 5pm for an entire week plus additional treatments at the dentists personal home.

Just cut up your meat / fish and put lemon juice or cider vinegar on it, this will kill most microbes and increase the acid levels for your digestion.

I've eaten raw meat, fish, and chicken from various sources (including lots and lots of raw mince) and in varying degrees of freshness (up to green lamb chops and fish buried in the ground for a month) and never had any problem (except the time I also had commercial juice and bread at the same time and the meat microbes went wild eating the carbs and I had to vomit).

Remember to eat lots of raw greens too, so your gorilla large intestine has something to do.

If you are blocked up then the high fibre gloop mixture will help to restart things and get them settled down again more quickly.

My experience of this kind of condition is that I need to eat:

'Greens' - raw wet fresh plant matter
Protein and fat - raw wet animal food

BTW our true requirement for meat is actually quite small, if you are having trouble affording enough calories then ask a butcher for their fat off cuts - which are normally free.

It's not the salt that is bad. It's the processing. Commercial table salt is heated to over 1000 degrees. Even so called sea salt is often no better because the companies that process it make more money from selling all the minerals they extract from it than they do from selling the salt. I buy only raw unprocessed salt and have done so for many years. My favorite is Celtic sea salt but the French gray salt is pretty much the exact same thing for a lot less money.

A.V. advised against consuming sodium, saying that its explosive. I personally avoid using salt, and have a strong aversion to salty foods in general. I think that salt may be even harmful in excess, especially for people on Low Carb.

I have a theory that Carbs tend to leach sodium from the body, this is why cooked starches tend to be served with liberal amounts of salt, many carb foods also have high potassium and so more salt is needed to balance it out. The sodium, potassium, and magnesium levels are closely connected, and when one is imbalanced it usually effects the others.

I believe sodium serves a vital function, but its best obtained within whole foods as part of a complete mineral matrix that is properly balanced with potassium, magnesium, and the other trace minerals. I will often sweat heavily and deplete my body salts, but even in my depleted state I will avoid using straight salt to replenish my sodium levels. I prefer to use foods.... Blood is my go to and as long as I have enough sheep blood I do not need any other form of salt....when Im out of blood I will use seaweed, or drink lemon water with raw eggs.

In extreme cases of dehydration, mineral depletion or muscle cramping I will eat raw clams, making sure to save and drink the juice.
