From my experience I say never every drink excess water. During my delusional plant based high fruit days I consumed large amounts of still water because I thought I will detox it all out. I´d say I drank 3-4 liters daily, possibly more, even though I was not thirsty. With that I ate lots of carbs from fruits, fibrous vegetables and green juices, plus fake vegan sausages and very little meat and little to no bread. The result was extreme water retention and extreme weight fluctuations. I measured my weight religiously every morning and evening for years. In the morning I was thin and underweight and put on 59-60 kg on the scale. In the evening I had 69-70 kg. So 9-10 kg + from morning till evening from all the water, fruits and veggies.

My belly was huge, the candida/parasites multiplied insanely, my brain was dead and often I barely made it home from work. Terrible times. All that water plus the wrong diet messed up my stomach acid so badly, that I was not able to digest any food thereafter. Stool showed lots of undigested food and eating beef was almost impossible due to the lack of stomach acid. All that excess vitamin a from tomato sauce and carrots also fucked up my fat digestion among other things.

Drinking too much water is the dumbest thing you can do. Once you lower your stomach acid to the point where critters make themselves feel at home, your fucked. They make sure that the PH remains high so they are able to survive. Thanks to that I had to completely stop drinking still water and can now only consume proper carbonated mineral water. Recently did a 5 day water fast but during that time I was constantly consuming something in my stomach, even though I did not eat. That something was certainly candida/critters. Bravo to myself to listen to plant based retards years ago. Drinking excess water is a recipe for disaster. Drink water when your thirsty, not more is my experience. I can very much agree with the statement of Dr. Oren. The push for drinking water constantly is as retarded as the food pyramid.

White people in sun-starved areas need just as much sunlight as black people in sun-rich areas.

I decided to revisit this forum. It has been a long time. I'm now very healthy, active, and happy with my diet. I'm no longer raw paleo, though I prefer my meat blue and I eat fermeted foods and raw meat from time to time, when I feel like it. I also eat plenty of fruit and cooked vegetables.

What basically healed me was a mixture of mineral rebalance (copper, manganese, boron, zinc, magnesium, calcium, sulfur, iodine, etc.), fermented foods, and nutritious animal foods. Minerals are VERY important in the process of healing because minerals are used to produce enzymes and the body utilizes A LOT of minerals when sick. This is the reason we store plenty of minerals in the liver, bone marrow, bones, thyroid, etc.

We are hella toxic from the environment we live on today and our body doesn't want to tap on the minerals it has stored to heal us because it has very little of them. We're deficient in minerals due to our monotonous, basic, bland diets. Humans are meant to eat a very diverse of foods or we're meant to eat animals that eat a very diverse range of foods, from nose to tail.

The only food we should consume continuously is muscle meat, perennial fruits, and tubers or starch. All other foods should be eaten seasonally or controlled. For example, watermelons, mangoes, broccoli, strawberries are seasonal crops. Liver, kidneys, tongue, tail are scarse parts of an animal, usually shared between all the members of a tribe in small quantities.

Use antiparasitic and antimicrobial herbs. This is a natural way of restablishing your natural gut flora. Supplement with fermented foods. Avoid supplements as much as you can, except for minerals. Copper is not toxic, no matter what the media and the "science" says. All minerals should be consumed in balance for optimal health. Read about pulse-dosing as a technique to supplement minerals.

I've always been wary of farmed fish, but I suppose it's possible for some farmed fish to be decent, just like farmed livestock is.
