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/
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.

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.
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.

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.

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
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
One finds out how fresh the raw meat is, simply by taste. When you first start eating raw meats, you will be hyper-sensitive re taste(due to previous acculturation to cooked meats)and likely avoid any
The parasite-issue is not relevant as all UK farmers, even organic, routinely deworm their animals. I know there is some hysteria re pork and trichinosis, but, quite frankly, I've checked the data and
There is a lot of deliberately misleading info from nutritionists on the web with claims that "boiling doesn't create toxins". These are completely wrong, and if you check online studies and reports done
