An intensively-painful stomach/stomach-ulcer is far worse - I've had back-pain before, and it's nowhere near as painful as the horrible stomach-aches i used to have after eating any cooked-animal food, pre-raw diet.

Good for him. If only we could contact someone that high profile about raw paleo.

There are already various celebrities doing Raw-Meat diets(eg:- Mel Gibson who follows the tiger diet consisting of raw meat and raw olive-oil(and no cooked food, I think?)), plus Uma Thurman does a raw-omnivore diet and there's been a rumour that Demi Moore, who used to be a raw vegan, is now a raw omnivore as well. I also read somewhere online that Val Kilmer was served raw-meat by a raw-foodist chef(I think he's on the Primal Diet).

I've just become a real fan of  satiric songs(the Uk's Ivor Biggun(eg:- "Graffiti Night Fever" , and especially the US's Weird Al Yankovic(eg:- "Don't Download This Song" etc.) I've never heard of them before. Anyone else a fan of Yankovic?

I run barefoot now, and people always give me weird looks. Being barefoot is not strange; being required to wear clothing and shoes is. I'm really getting tired of being told it's bad for my joints, or I'm going to step on a piece of glass and regret it.

Well, it's certainly a lot worse on the joints for women wearing high-heels.

My biggest annoyance is not being able to take my shirt off, because I'm in a female body. Big, bloody deal. They're breasts, who cares? If males can be obese and unhealthy, resulting in a store fat in that area, but run around half-nude, then so can females. If you saw breasts all the time, it would be just like seeing any other part of the body, and maybe we wouldn't be breeding a culture full of women insecure about their breast shape and size.

Well, to be fair, women, nowadays, have a great deal of leeway as regards being able to wear very scanty, cool  clothing to the office in high summer - whereas men are still expected in many areas to wear the old shirt and tie, with rolled-up sleeves and male shorts being frowned upon etc.

As a kid, in Illinois, only scurvy people went barefoot. I was told constantly by my parents to wear shoes. When we moved to Florida, everyone went barefooted. Especially along the coast, one could go barefooted and shirtless (males only) into a convenience store, gas station,  or even a waterfront restaurant so long as it was on a deck or outside patio.

In the UK, there are, unfortunately, a lot of prudes, both male and female, who frown heavily on young men baring their upper bodies. The result is that I only ever see bare-chested males either at the beach, or if in London, only when the temperatures become almost subtropical in August.

Yes, grassfed organic meat without nitrites, all raw(except for one very foolish experiment, during one trial, with cooked suet). I just felt dehydrated no matter how much mineral-water I drank - I also experienced a massive drop in appetite.

The board as a whole is for people who eat at least a little raw animal food - only a small minority really eat only raw meats/organ-meats and nothing else - most include lots of raw meats/organ-meats in their diet  but also include some raw carbs(fruit, and to a lesser extent, raw veg). Most members on these kind of forums eat either mostly raw or all-raw.

If you look at all the palaeo evidence, you'll find that meat was at the very least the primary portion of the diet(plus some berries and similiar roughage, to a much lesser extent). That's one of the many reasons why Wrangham's idea re cooked-tubers supposedly being a major part of the Palaeo diet has been so soundly rejected by most palaeoanthrologists.

The Ice Man I think you're referring to was "Otzi" found in the Alps.He was from only 5,000 years ago, long (c.7,000 years) after  the Palaeolithic era ended. It was only in the Neolithic that seeds and grains and tubers etc. were eaten in large quantities.

value. Each time I am better able to improve...my health!"  -  Simon, age 43  Palm Beach , FL

Re adrenals:- Raw adrenal glandulars are almost always recommended for repairing one's adrenals after they've been wrcked by stress etc. On the other hand, it's well-known that taking in artificial hormones via tablets(whether cortisol which is normally produced by the adrenals or some other hormone) tends to weaken the relevant gland in your body  - however, as long as you're eating a proper food such as the whole organ or gland and not eating a synthetic version of the hormones from that gland, then you should be fine.

I'm not a zero-carber(though I've had some unsuccessful attempts/trials with it).  During my zero-carb trials, though, I did notice that my need for water  GREATLY increased.

As regards consumption of raw adrenals, I should mention that the Native Americans used to treat the adrenals as their favourite food, according to Weston-Price. Also, I take raw adrenal supplements every day(c. quarter-ounce=a day), with no negative effects whatsoever(been doing so for several months now). My own view is that like cures like, so it's important to emulate our ancestors.

I'm really impressed with the culinary recipes mentioned here. I personally don't bother with such arrangements, and prefer just swallowing it all raw without preparation as that saves time - but I'm well aware that many RPDers, especially women, like to prepare foods in unique ways, and I'm all in favour of that, as it adds a little compelxity to the rawpalaeo diet.

Hi Satya still going but social situations have stopped me being 100% but only in really small amounts. Half a beer etc... it's way too hard to be 100% in social settings. I also been trying pickles and pickle juice for cramps.
I've had some fantastic results with all carnivore with some skin problems clearing up which I thought I was stuck with for the rest of my life.. My dandruff and cracked heels are 90% better..I'm really happy. I've had these non stop for 15+ years! 

I had cracked heels, which is supposed to be one of the many symptoms of adrenal burnout. You might consider getting hold of raw adrenals or a supplement thereof. Of course, cracked heels are undoubtedly a symptom for many other health-conditions, but I seem to recall that you mentioned recovering from anxiety(which is most definitely adrenal-related).
