This forum is about raw paleo nutrition. We eat everything raw, including plantains.

Plantains (...) can be used as a vegetable to cook.
That was AV`s claim but it`s nonsense as East Asian countries which consume a lot of raw fish also do not experience any mercury-poisoning. You need much higher levels of mercury poisoning such as happened in Minamata Bay to develop any problems.Selenium in the human body protects even against fish with slightly higher levels of mercury anyway such as tuna and swordfish and pilot whales:-

I realized that but didn't it say except for tuna and a few other fish? I was trying to agree with the study but my experience with tuna and canned clams and oysters proved to me otherwise and took me to a dark place. I don't know. Maybe it's something else and not the mercury. I just know it messed me up! Tuna made my gums bleed and smoked oysters turned me into a space cadet. I also remember getting really achey from them.
No, simply I know and am aware better than you. There are things I know and am aware that you are not. Things I've done that you have not. There isn't anything "to agree to disagree on". Wrong is wrong. There are no two correct answers.

Wheat is not bad, wheat is good, very good. I advise to eat it, sprouted of course.
There are foods that humans have eaten for like hundred if not thousands of years that require cooking, like elderberries. They are wild, undomesticated, and I can't seem to find an issue with them, except they need to be cooked. This is a strange topic to me, cooking certain foods to render them edible. Thoughts?
I think there is wisdom in the saying “the dose makes the poison” and that many of the anti-nutrients like the website below tells you to avoid are actually beneficial in the right quantity.
Fossils discovered in Morocco are the oldest known remains of Homo sapiens, scientists reported on Wednesday.
Dating back roughly 300,000 years, the bones indicate that mankind evolved earlier than had been known, experts say, and open a new window on our origins.

Until now, the oldest fossils of our species, found in Ethiopia, dated back just 195,000 years. The new fossils suggest our species evolved across Africa.

Do you know of alternatives to sea salt?
I am also pretty lightweight and have trouble putting on weight.
Although gathering and hunting comprised most of the food supply during the Middle Paleolithic, people began to supplement their diet with seafood and began smoking and drying meat to preserve and store it. For instance the Middle Stone Age inhabitants of the region now occupied by the Democratic Republic of the Congo hunted large 6-foot (1.8 m) long catfish with specialized barbed fishing points as early as 90,000 years ago,[1][14] and Neandertals and Middle Paleolithic Homo sapiens in Africa began to catch shellfish for food as revealed by shellfish cooking in Neandertal sites in Italy about 110,000 years ago and Middle Paleolithic Homo sapiens sites at Pinnacle Point, in Africa.[1][15]
Anthropologists such as Tim D. White suggest that cannibalism was common in human societies prior to the beginning of the Upper Paleolithic, based on the large amount of “butchered human" bones found in Neandertal and other Middle Paleolithic sites.[16] Cannibalism in the Middle Paleolithic may have occurred because of food shortages.[17]
However it is also possible that Middle Paleolithic cannibalism occurred for religious reasons which would coincide with the development of religious practices thought to have occurred during the Upper Paleolithic.[18][19] Nonetheless it remains possible that Middle Paleolithic societies never practiced cannibalism and that the damage to recovered human bones was either the result of excarnation or predation by carnivores such as saber-toothed cats, lions and hyenas.[19]

This past month I began to have extreme Dairy cravings out of the blue. I think my body has been missing something, and my energy has been lower than usual, and its been harder to recover from workouts. It got to the point where I would literally dream about nursing big breasted women( much more than usual) TMI

Its too soon into the experiment to make definite conclusions, so I will continue to post here on any changes.
So far I feel strongly that there is a real benefit to the shilajit milk mixture, which is an ancient ayurvedic practice ; having experienced increased stamina, strength, since of well being and libido.
I don't think I'd want to do this for the entire forum, but I can definitely see value in wiping some areas clean and consolidating others. I don't see much value in giving different diets their own sections anymore. The people who promoted most of those diets are either dead now, or at the very least they're not remotely as popular as they once were. There's certainly no reason to list people as moderators here who rarely visit. They can't exactly fulfill their duties if they don't spend time here.
I think everything about diet has been said and discussed. People just moving on. Look at last month posts. Mostly political BS.A lot has been said, but we're far from knowing everything: even after several decades of raw vegetal and animal diet (RVAF) we discover new foods and new phenomenons or problems. Our world is changing rapidly, new methods of processing, preserving and producing food are constantly applied. For example more and more fish species are produced by aquaculture, water and land is more and more polluted, so we have to inform others about what we found.
Someone off-site has had problems posting on this site, so has asked me to post a query for him. He wants to know if anyone here has recovered from MS(Multiple Sclerosis) on a Raw-Animal-Food diet or knows someone who has.
He was also under the impression that Aajonus hasn't mentioned recovery from MS as one of the benefits of the Primal Diet. Does anyone know what Aajonus actually says about Multiple Sclerosis?
