So there are no negative effects that could occur from taking an Epsom salt bath?

How long should one last, from what I've read I'm thinking 40minutes.

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.

He seems to make many outrageous claims with out stating sources,research, or even a single scientific fact. Everything he says is very intriguing, just wish there was more evidence.

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.

Aren't peanuts legumes? Why would he put a legume in a nut formula?

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.

Haha love this paleophil. Thank you for sharing this article.

Are Epsom salt baths beneficial and safe to do? Are there any negative side effects?

I've got a bag of Epsom salts from target, I am suspect of the quality. What is the highest quality of Epsom salts for baths you can get?

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

Yeah I've been eating more raw honey(i think it's a good prebiotic), sauerkraut, pickles(good quality never pasteurized).

Also added roasted peanut butter, heard it's a great source of magnesium.

Add Kerrygold butter to my meat meals for more fat.

I've been having at least one BM a day for about 5 days now. Only concerning thing now is that i don't "get the urge" to go."

208
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!

I was advised to hang fat in the open air? Or uncovered on a plate in the fridge.

Magnesium supplement is definitely helping me pass stools, but still with great difficulty. Could this be a sign of dehydration?

Also wondering if it's a sign I'm magnesium deficient, or not absorbing it properly. Would you guys recommend a multi vitamin?

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.

I'm going to try and add more carbs to diet through fermented, and some starchy vegetables. Things like fermented cabbage, beets, carrots, sweet potato, and winter squash. I will lightly steam sweet potato and waiter squash to aid digestion.

Also going to experiment with more raw honey. Only eating about 1/4-1/2 tsp aday right now. Going to try to double that.

Also going to take AVs advice with papayas, melons, pineapples...

Does this rash appear when you eat those foods when you are not at a party?  ;D

Okay, serious answer: the rash is probably a sign of inflammation.


Haha, ok. Thanks for answering.

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

I will definently be eliminating vegetables such as kale , spinach, and broccoli. I definitely will try adding fermented cabbage, beets, and carrots. Also maybe some sweet potatoes, steamed possibly, I don't know if you can eat raw.

I think people were under the assumption that raw meat/fat would heal my gut flora. I don't think I have a healthy enough gut to consume raw meat at this time.

Whenever I consume lots of sugar, say from ice cream, pie, cake ect at a party or whatever I will get a rash around the abdominal area. As well as my thighs. Wondering if anyone has the same experience with this, and or knows what it's related too.

I get a similar response to eating grains.

Doctor claimed I successfully cleared myself with castor oil/Epsom salts. Prescribed murilax. Don't know much about it, can anyone recommend?

Today I took a magnesium suppliment from natural vitality. I finally had my first solid bowel movement in who knows how long(2 weeks+)... I think ill cofounder taking it daily, unless there are any side effects from prolong use I'm unaware of?

I still haven't tried taking stool softener yet, very tempted.

some fruits that make people move:

papaya, water melon, melon, pineapples, coconut meat

Ok, thank you for suggestion. I was feeling very weak last night from not eating much for past 3 days. Brother convinced me to drink some goat kefir(not raw). This morning...no intestinal pain, but no bowel movement either. Going to Urgen care in a couple hours.

I also purchased a rite aid brand stool softener. Docusate sodium 100mg capsules. Might be worth a try in a day or two.

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.

Looks like I'll be picking up some coconut water, or water melon tomorrow.

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?

No I eat zero carbs. Last 2 days I've only eaten olive oil/ coconut oil.

Today I are nothing but coconut oil, And drank water with lemon and fine himilayan pink salt. Starting at 8am, consuming 2 tbps every 2 hours. As 6:30 approaches it will be my 12th tbp. No bowel movements yet today.

It feels as if something is caught in my throat, and my breath smells like actual sh*t. I can't smell it but my brother keeps telling me. I do have a foul taste in my mouth for past several days.

Putting order in for Enema kit tonight. Any suggestions on which kit to purchase(using amazon).

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.

I believe my gut is so damaged and clogged that I must take nutrients via juicing/liquid forum. I think it's so weak it cannot digest solid foods atm. I wish I could eat the healing foods that RPD provides. But at this point is risk rupturing my colon.

I wouldn't call my bowel movements dhiarrea. They are literally 98% liquid, best way I can describe is green/yellow water. My colon is eliminating in a small stream the width of a straw. This is my I am going with Barefoot Herbalists theory of a shrunken colon. No matter what solid food I ate, I don't think it would make it out.

I suspect the intestinal blockage is so bad, any water I consume is simply passing around the stool.

I am thinking of taking a stool softener. But the ingredients don't look very good, lots of chemicals. I am amazon priming an enema kit, hopefully that will work. Until I have normal bowel movements without outside help, I don't think I should eat solid foods. As I risk the blockage reoccuring.

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.

You're right.

I'm just thinking

Constipated?--->eat less
makes more sense than
Constipated?---> eat more

Especially if I do have a shrunken colon. It makes sense more food could rupture it.
Especially raw animal meats/fats. I think for now i should stick to water, coconut oil/olive oil, and if I feel well enough fruit juices. Id like to try yogurt/kefir but fear it may be to dense for my damaged gut right now.

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!

Sorry i miss typed my response in the quote box. I don't see an edit option anywhere.

I thought laxative would pass through at the least liquid stool diarrhea. So far epsom salt has just expelled green/yellow water mostly. Castor oil worked much better.

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.


I believe raw animal fat is what triggered this shrunken bowel/constipation... So why would you recommend I do it again. I do not think my gut is strong enough to digest raw animal meat/fat right now... I don't think I should be eating anything right now, as my digestive system is to weak to eliminate it... I'm confused as to why no one else sees it this way. You are all suggesting I EAT MORE to cure this shrunk colon/constipation? Even more outrageous is suggesting I eat the very thing that caused the problem. This makes no sense to me. I would rather completely eliminate my system, heal my gut, strengthen it, and then gradually proceed into raw paleo.

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.


Interesting, I thought raw vegetables and raw meat together would be a terrible combination as they would most likely have completely different digestive processes?

224
Because of the poor quality of the meat, not because of parasites or food poisoning.

I'm not knowledgable in that area. I'll take your word for it!

Epsom salt is kind of working. Mostly brown/green water with very small pieces of  excrement(about the size of a chocolate chip/m&m).  Not the solid formed stools I was looking for. Should buy me time before I have to possibly go to ER. Will start Coconut oil cleanse tomorrow morning, unless anyone has any better options.

I don't think my gut is ready to eat raw meat/fat yet. It is very week and I may need to build up to it. I should be able to stomach raw eggs, and maybe raw milk would help? Also considering juicing, as digesting these fiber rich veggies seems to be too taxing on my gut.
