Expertise

I can answer most questions on Raw Animal Food Diets such as the Primal Diet, an organic, raw-meat-based diet and a number of similiar all-raw or partially raw Paleolithic diets, such as the Instincto, Weston-Price, Neanderthin, Paleo and Stefansson Diets. Can also offer advice on how to resist social pressure to eat cooked foods etc. For further info on Raw-Animal-Food diets, feel free to browse through this website:- http://www.rawpaleodiet.com/

Experience in the area

I have been 8 years on a 99%+ raw version of the Palaeolithic Diet and experienced numerous health benefits as a result, being fully recovered from my previous symptoms from my cooked-food days. My own individualised raw, paleolithic diet routine is mostly based on Aajonus Vonderplanitz's Primal Diet(ie 99% raw, usage of "high-meat",no processed supplements, using primarily naturally-reared, organic or wild sources of raw foods) but, for personal reasons, I have also been, to some extent, influenced by ideas from:- Instincto(ie:- taste/instinct,no raw dairy/no raw veggie juice), Weston-Price(eg: preferring grassfed meat to grainfed meat, incorporating a wide variety of raw organ-meats into my diet along with the usual muscle-meats, and Vilhjalmur Stefansson(high-fat diet, pretty high proportion of (raw) animal food), but also eating some raw carbohydrates such as raw organic/wild fruit/veg/honeycomb etc.). I'm also a firm believer in the feast-and-famine idea (ie Intermittent Fasting) as regards boosting one's energy levels, and giving my body a rest from constant digestion.

What do you like about this subject?

I like the concept behind (raw) food being your medicine, as I used to waste vast sums on herbal, vitamin and mineral products,and this raw-meat diet helps me by saving money and improving my health.I also like the huge variety available on this diet. For example, I eat:- wild boar meat,innards,sea-urchin eggs,horsemeat,swordfish,goat etc. etc.

What do you still hope to achieve/learn in this field?

I've learnt almost everything I need now re diet for my own health, anyway, though there are always new tdibits here and there, which pop up from time to time. There's still a lot of scientific research that needs to be done into raw diets, and I'm hoping eventually to adopt other palaeo habits other than diet.

Something controversial or provocative about this subject

This diet is the most controversial diet ever invented.People all over the world have eaten raw-meat dishes such as sashimi, beef carpaccio, steak tartare etc. etc., and suffered no health problems as a result.Yet all the Health Authorities have consistently been trying to enforce regulations on the sale of raw-meat, (such as irradiation laws), despite this obvious fact.

I've never heard of Dr Sebi before, but it seems he's a raw-vegan-type of raw foodist, judging from some links detailing his recommended foods. 100% Raw Vegan diets are fine for simple detox of toxins

2009-11-14 Raw lamb liver, my farmer says his lambs get parisites:

Look, I have searched endless posts from raw-animal-food-diet-related forums in the past and mentions of parasite-infestations are very, very rare, and most of those are dubious(ie no sign of parasites

I've read previously that candida is generally killed off by removing carbs. The trouble is that candida die-off usually results in rather unpleasant symptoms while doing this. Another problem is that

2009-10-21 Hello:

Raw pork is perfectly safe in terms of parasites, anyway. You have to bear in mind that, these days, other than 3rd-world regions, farmers are expected by law to regularly deworm their animals. That said

2009-10-02 Raw goat yoghurt and cream:

I wouldn't recommend buying meats/fats from supermarkets. Supermarkets are there to make money and will always prefer selling low quality meats. It's far better to either buy direct from a grassfed meat
