I am continually taken back by these 'formulas' he came up with, as if he divined it from above. Or let me put it this way, I think someone should think for themselves when it comes to believing in his recommendations.
NUT FORMULA: 2 to 4 ounces raw pecans or walnuts, pine or hazel
nuts, sunflower or pumpkin seeds, or peanuts, 4 to 8 tablespoons
unsalted raw butter, 1-2 raw eggs, 1½-2 tablespoons unheated honey.
Blenderize nuts in an 8- or 12-ounces jar on high speed until they are
flour. Add remaining ingredients and stir. Blenderize on medium speed
for 20-25 seconds, until smooth. ALTERNATIVE: Substitute coconut
cream for butter.
Many people need starches to bind with toxins (including excess
hormones) that stress the body. We may obtain that starch by eating a
Nut Formula once or twice weekly. Some people may need to eat a
little cooked starch with plenty of raw fat if they cannot digest the Nut
Formula. That may be determined by eating the Nut Formula when we
are extra-stressed. If we become more self-controlled within 12 hours
after eating the Nut Formula, we do not need to eat cooked starch.
I remember from reading his books, he was not so pro nuts, he said they had anti-nurients, and the way to get out the toxic the most, you must do this "formula".He never recomended eating them alone. I even remember he said never eat more than 2 of this formulas per week.
I can tell that you didn't read the article.Besides, isn't it rather contradictory of you to cite the Hadza HGs to support your tuber arguments, and then claim that they are not representative when it comes to honey? You can't have it both ways.
Re A Tribe Called Paleo
hey, update from my solution
I've been using prescript assist probiotic for about a week and a little now, also supplemented with a whole jar of sauerkraut those early days of supplementing
I think the increase of probiotic + prebiotics has helped me a LOT in my recovery progress right now.
You might have different things that is lacking, but baseline and safe twitching your increase of microbiome will help a lot
Seems to me like fat oxidizes pretty fast if not kept cool and away from excess oxygen. I store mine in the fridge totally wrapped up, otherwise I can smell what I believe is rancidity pretty fast, and that isn't kosher with me!
Congrats on your early success badboy9311. I agree that the gut microbiome is important (as anyone who reads my posts knows, and I hope I haven't beaten the topic to death ). A_Tribe_Called_Paleo mentioned taking psyllium husk powder, which can help carry prebiotics to the distal end of the colon, and to some extent also ferment and act like a prebiotic itself. Now that the initial emergency is past, perhaps he will further examine prebiotics and probiotics.
Your guess about low-carb diets (that typically tend to also be low in prebiotics) as a possible culprit is believable, as constipation and the need for magnesium supplements are commonly reported by LCers.
Does this rash appear when you eat those foods when you are not at a party?
Okay, serious answer: the rash is probably a sign of inflammation.
I find the lack of mentioning of gut flora in the replies very concerning
I just recently had some constipation issue with no resolving from eating raw + doing various supplementation and cleanses
I resolved it by providing myself with plenty of soluble fiber and probiotic supplements (In form of fermented vegetable and soil-based organisms), and now the issue has been resolved somewhat. I believe the reason for intestinal blockage to be the low-carb diet we seem to follow yet not considering the consequence of having killed off some bacteria in our gut system.
But I also want to say this is just speculation right now as I've only resolved this issue two days ago
some fruits that make people move:
papaya, water melon, melon, pineapples, coconut meat
yeah you probably just have horrible "keto" breathe. you may want to be sure you are drinking fluids with plenty of electrolytes, especially potassium and magnesium. this is when broths and seaweeds come in very handy. when you blood glucose drops your body will flush out whatever excess fluids it was holding onto and your electrolytes can run low and become imbalanced. many suffer from headaches, low energy , foul mood, and hydration issues. getting enough of these minerals ensures that your body will maintain proper hydration, including in your bowels and stool.
have you had any carbohydrates for a while? when your body starts using ketones its produces foul smelling breathe...do you think that might be the cause?
All food is liquid, called chyme, by the time it exits your stomach. (Yes, there are exceptions due to things not working well.) At pretty much the end of the transit, water is absorbed from the chyme. A well-functioning colon will make well-formed stools by eliminating all but the right amount of water. Constipation means that too much water has been removed. Diarrhea means that not enough water has been removed. (That's why people get dehydrated from diarrhea.)
Your whole digestive tract, from mouth to anus, depends on a bazillion different functions, starting with the smell of food, it's taste, the physiobiology of chewing, and the mystifying number of biochemical signals that tell each cell what to do.
Let's say you want to take juices. Then, you are depriving yourself of one of the first digestive signals, chewing. The tongue is a rich array of sensors that trigger chemical processes later on in the stomach. If you drink juice, you're saying, "Screw you, stomach, I'm going to dump some shit in you, and you won't have a clue what to do with it!"
Other dietary extremes wreak other kinds of havoc, like unbalancing your colon's bacteria types, losing or retaining water, or upsetting the mineral balance in your body.
I'd say: Constipated > eat normal amounts of food.
Normal amounts never mean "full" or "stuffed." Eat until "satisfied."
Then, once everything is going well, you can see what comes out.
P.S. I've had pelvic floor dysfunction. I had an operation for it when I was in my 40s. It came back, but never bothers me since I've been eating raw paleo style. I've also have autoimmune issues in my gut, but the usual symptoms have completely healed on this diet.
I switched, cold turkey, from cooked food to RPD. I started feeling better from day one.
Well, I can't see it your way because my experience was the exact opposite.
Why do you need others to see it your way? Like they say, there's more than one way to skin a cat.
If we had to separate our proteins, fats, and carbohydrates for the purpose of good digestion, we couldn't eat anything from the natural world, because most natural food is composed of more than one macronutrient.
How can you expect a laxative to give you a solid, formed stool, especially when you are overdosing on laxatives?
If you do have strictures (shrunken portions of colon), loops, rectocele, or some other colon deformation, overdoses of laxatives are the LAST thing that a doctor would prescribe. Colon obstruction or deformity is not made better by forcing yourself to have diarrhea.
VERY URGENT: in your post http://www.rawpaleodietforum.com/health/intestinal-blockage/msg126526/#msg126526, you quoted me as saying that I've consulted Barefood Herbalist and have leaky gut. Neither is true. I think you have typed your statements in the "quote" box. Please edit or delete that post!
Right out of the gate eat raw fats. That can include meat fats and butter. If you have difficulty with raw butter then obviously stop.
Personally I have found that raw paleo with heaps of raw vegetables to work very well, especially when combined with other life enhancing thoughts and actions.
I find that fresh herbs, dark leafy vegetables, and weeds are the best way to rebalance my gut.
Also in my cafe staying away from all sugars and all cooked carbs was very useful, while increasing raw vegetables.
Because of the poor quality of the meat, not because of parasites or food poisoning.
