Rational for various Paleo approaches

by

Interesting topic raised by SkinnyDevil in the Raw Paleo Forum: I see on this forum a wide variety of paleo approaches and in my short time here have already seen hot debate of certain key issues. Zero or low carb, or not low carb. Fatty meats or lean meats. No dairy or minimal sporadic dairy (or lots of dairy). Paleo man ate mostly meat or he didn’t (ate meat sporadically – only at successful kills). Organ or no organ meats. Without trying to kick off an argument, I’m just wondering the rational for each of these approaches – NOT from a web-site, but from people who actually eat that way. Also wondering about other lifestyle factors, and if you only eat paleo or if you try to implement (to grater or lesser degrees) other paleo lifestyle factors?

Cosmo Replied:

Hi there!
I think it all depends on your blood type. For example, my blood group is 0 (1) and I avoid dairy products and prefer fattier meats, organs and raw fish.
If your blood group is A(2), then you should stick to raw fish, egg yolks, raw animal fat, organs and very little meat.
But if your blood group is B(3), then you can eat pretty much anything including raw dairy.
There’s a great book about it called “Eat right for your type”, it was’t written for raw eaters, but I found it to be a very helpful.

I am zero carb because if I eat carbs my Ulcerative Colitis will come back.

I’m not completely against carbs for other people though. I just don’t get into it because none of us really know what goes on inside our bodies.

Perhaps I did so much damage to my system in my “SAD” days that I for one, cannot eat carbs anymore.

I used to eat giant bowls of whole grain pasta, two or three times a day, with a peanut, pesto, or tomato sauce all over it. I used to put tons of cayenne pepper in my food as well. I ate a lot protein bars and shakes, and went through gallons of milk every week.

I was an exercise and eating machine. I lifted a lot of weights and ran up to 8 miles a day sometimes. When Ulcerative Colitis hit me, it took me months to figure out how to eat again, and it lead me to just meat , fat, and organs. (Only grass-fed) I also eat sashimi, or very rare steaks in social settings. I drink dry wines or vodka on occasion as well. (I live in Chicago, hard to get away from that here.)

I’m gradually getting back to doing more physically intense exercises. Although, I’m never going back to long distance running. I don’t think that’s really good for you.

I used to have achy joints as well. I’m suspicious that that might have been due to all the nightshade family foods I was eating. (tomatoes, cayenne, jalapenos, etc.)

Anyway, that’s my little zero carb argument for myself.

and I replied:

A good number of us were truly sick on SAD so we had to find what works.
There is some grain of truth in blood type diet. My 5 year old boy is allergic to all chicken whether raw or not or raw fertilized eggs… so we do duck instead.
I believe a big factor is we are all at different stages of health in our lives.
We do what works for us in that snapshot of time with what is available in our locale and what we can afford.

I used to be sick of eczema and the detoxes fixed the symptoms, but I did not feel glowing health.
I tried various diets from sad, vegetarian, raw vegan, raw fruitarian, then 14 days fasting.
I arrived at raw paleo because I wanted to achieve better health…
and wai diet worked wonders… raw fish is good.
adding raw land animals did even more wonders…
grass fed raw beef specifically did wonders (internal organs, meat, fat, brains, marrow, tongue) absolutely delicious.
High fat low carb did even more wonders. (I’m here now, 1.5 years into raw paleo)

I’m a self experimentor and I will get to try zero carb later on.

I tried Aajonus’ Primal diet with raw dairy several times with different animals like cow, carabao, goat… but none of them were working for me, the only thing I don’t react to in dairy is butter and ghee, but my sources are not raw.

Duck eggs are sooo much better than chicken eggs.

I will make continuous adjustments in my diet as the years goes by.

The fatty meat/lean-meat question is more difficult to answer than one would think. Judging from data gathered re hunter-gatherers and palaeo cavemen, a very wide variety of animals were hunted some small(and therefore lean) and other larger, fattier animals like the aurochs(ancestors of cattle) and horses. Then there’s the fact that winter forces animals to starve and thereby reduce their fat-layers during that season. Now, there are other complications(I believe older animals gain more fat-layers?) but generally speaking, I don’t think it matters as long as one is eating a mixture of lean and fatty meats – eating 100% lean meats all the time year round is likely a bad idea, especially if on zc.

No dairy or minimal dairy:- I have been beating the anti-raw-dairy drum for years as I kept on noticing that those people who consumed the most dairy also reported the most devastating of health-problerms(which they chose to call “detoxes” but weren’t as they invariably coincided with dairy-consumption) – and that those who gave up all dairy reported far fewer side-effects, if any. Dairy has appalling side-effects re f**king up the natural hormone-levels of the body via its own cow-produced hormones, then there are the addictive opioids, the huge imbalance in calcium to magnesium( too much intake of calcium into the body blocks uptake of magnesium , leading to magnesium-deficiency).Magnesium is essential for the central nervous system’s maintenance.

Organ-meats:- If you look at the literature(and wildlife movies etc.), you will notice a common element:- the wild animals generally go for the organ-meats first by preference and then eat the rest. If they’re not hungry, they’ll sometimes leave some of the muscle-meats behind, storing them for later, but eat the organ-meats then and there.More modern hunter-gatherer tribes have the same preference re organ-meats, with pregnant women using them(according to weston-price) to ensure fertility/childbirth works out well for them. So there’s no reason to suppose organ-meats weren’t eaten and preferred by palaeoman .Plus, numerous anecdotal reports on the various forums indicate tha eating raw organ-meats as well as muscle-meats ensures a faster recovery-rate on a RVAF diet than if one just eats raw muscle-meats.

That said, some zcers do have a point in claiming that organ-meats are only 10% of all meats in a body so there’s no need to overindulge.

Re eating all-meat or no-meat:- Well, my own experience with zc was a disaster. Tried 3 times and failed miserably. By the 6th week I’d be a hospital case so had to give up(I did all the right things re eating plenty of raw fat etc. – my testimonial is on the rawpaleodiet.com website)Having checked various studies and experiences:(eg:-
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/12535749

I tend to be sceptical of the notion that zc works for some, though it’s pretty clear that others seem to be doing fine right now on rzc. Other than the health-issues, my sporting performance collapses while on rzc, so that’s a big minus. Plus, being able to eat raw fruit in social settings makes things so much easier for me as that is considered more socially acceptable than eating raw meat in front of SAD-eaters. As a ZCer, given occasional travelling etc., I’d be forced to make pemmican, instead of eating fruit (when grassfed, raw meat-sources are scarce), which would cause problems for me given my own major issues re cooked animal fats(raw fruit, by contrast, works fine for me as long as I don’t take it to fruitarian levels).

Re palaeo lifestyle:- I’m not terribly interested in sleeping outdoors on the hard ground etc. I’m too urbanised. But, admittedly, it does have its appeal.

Raw Vegan Diet cures Lyme Disease Symptoms

by

Health activist Arnold Kauffman helps his friend Marsha who was recently diagnosed with Lyme Disease. After a 10 Day Raw Food diet Marsha’s symptoms of Lyme Disease disappeared. Watch this video testimonial and be amazed.

As usual in the comments on that youtube video there are sour grapes that curse the video for being false, that the woman’s illness was not Lyme Disease. I’ve heard those idiotic arguments before, they argue that X disease is incurable so if you are able to cure yourself you must have been misdiagnosed and never had X disease in the first place. Talk about loopy baloney logic. A disease name is merely a shortcut name given to a collection of symptoms. The only thing that matters is the human was cured.

To those sour grapes who are not cured of Lyme Disease yet, here is a comprehensive protocol to cure lyme disease.

Faith Healing plus Physical Healing may just be a winner for a man with large worm infested boils

by

It is Saturday and this day is bible study day for my in laws as their troop of faith healers and bible study teachers come for a day long visit. Their teachings are interrupted first thing in the morning with the driver bringing in a neighbor who is sick, infested with a large boil on his back which looks like a hump. Let’s call him Mr. X.

From the faith healer’s point of view, this man was doing his painting job when his scaffolding collapsed and his paint spilled over to some “laman lupa” / dwarves? He asked forgiveness but was cursed anyway by the dwarves, this is why he is sick. So the troop of faith healers did their thing for many hours. I saw them stick a match stick on a finger that gave Mr. X some grimacing pain. Then I saw the faith healers get a needle and thread, do some scraping and puncturing. The difference in the look on Mr. X’s eyes is from a glazed hopeless look to a perked up hopeful happy and alert look. If some of you are dismissive of placebo effects, you are missing a great deal. You may not believe in faith healers, but obviously Mr. X does and this session with the faith healers has indeed given him a positive mindset… which is important for healing to happen.

On the physical side, these people are dirt poor. He’s a painter and a welder, no work no pay, now that he is sick, they are in deep trouble. I inquired and found out that on his right leg surfaced 4 worms they called “uod”. And on his scalp used to be well infested by “kuto” / fleas. They have seen MDs and hospitals who only gave a round of antibiotics and when nothing happened they just scratched their heads. One MD said his blood was dirty but he did not know what to do. He’s had scars of boils on his front left chest and the enormous boil is on his back on the right side. Big boil is the diameter of a DVD and maybe raised 2 inches dome.

The tragedy with the hospital and the MDs is Mr. X followed bad advice which is making him even sicker. He was told to stop eating rice and instead eat the following diet:

  • imported packaged oats,
  • pasteurized milk in cans,
  • bread (pandesal, white bread),
  • crackers,
  • biscuits.

My gosh… that MD wanted to kill this man with that kind of recommendation.  And Mr. X gave the testimonial that indeed on that diet there are times when he is constipated and unable to poop for 3 days.

I got to talk to the husband and wife team and with a trusty laptop showed them the physical side of Mr. X’s problem. He had dirty blood, the root cause as seen with his multiple boils. The worms are just scavengers feasting on rotting material. The method to clean Mr. X’s blood is to merely put him on a raw paleo diet with local fruits, local vegetables that are known blood cleaners like blendering ampalaya / bitter melon and juicing kamote tops, and having him eat raw native eggs and raw “kinilaw” ocean fish in real vinegar… not those chemical vinegars. They knew what real food was, these people grew up in the province of Masbate.

I then proceeded to teach them some detox protocols which they can do by themselves and be of the cheapest possible cost. 1/2 bottle of Dr. Tam’s Miracle Tea for 775 pesos for colon cleansing, Avocado leaves tea for kidney cleansing — which they were familiar anyway because their daughter does it for herself, and egg yolk liver flushing for 4 straight days but preceded by 1 liter of apple juice per day for 5 days. Sounds like a good plan. In 2 weeks he will have finished a good first round.

After my private talk with them they attended a lengthy bible study, then proceeded home. I encouraged Mr. X that if my plumber could cure himself from liver cancer, he can cure himself as well.

PR Campaign: Philippine Newspapers, TV and Radio are going nuts over H1N1 Swine Flu

by

It’s a full blown marketing campaign. It looks like it is very effective. The PR campaign of the drug companies to force the hand of the Philippine government to “invest” in their unproven – experimental – which means potentially DEADLY flu drugs / vaccines. Sure, the commissions and kickbacks will be passed on, but do our Philippine government officials actually have the thick skin to accept commissions while at the same time know the real dangers of potentially harming / killing Filipinos with experimental drugs?

Just take a step back if you were a SANE and LOGICAL public servant. A global organization and the Philippine media hypes up some insignificant flu like symptoms… which on any given day affects a good number of Filipinos out of 86+ million… then gives it a name… H1N1 Swine Flu. They drop the word SWINE because the charlatans have been exposed in a 1976 youtube video of a Swine Flu hysteria TV Ads that “they” have tried this SCAM before in 1976. Back in 1976, the USA government was scammed into investing in these swine flu vaccines and promptly called for a nationwide vaccination campaign. A good enough number of people died as a result of the experimental vaccination drugs given them. The US President had to order a STOP to the swine flu vaccination program, which obviously DID NOT WORK… and killed many people at the same time.

Just take a step back if you were a SANE and LOGICAL public servant. Of course Philippine public servants would want to make a couple of bucks themselves… but at the expense of harming the very people they swore to protect? To DEATH of the innocent who actually TRUST the government?

The Philippine Department of Health officials are giving all the signals and press releases that H1N1 swine flu is an insignificant NOTHING. There are far more important health concerns plaguing Filipinos like Dengue Fever and Tuberculosis. That 4,000 pesos cost to test each and every person if his strain of “virus” is H1N1 is beyond ridiculous and the government does not have the funds to spend for such an expensive test. That all flu these days may be branded swine flu H1N1 by the mere experience of certain symptoms. It’s all bull and thankfully our department of health officials are conscientious and caring of the Filipino people they are not going to allow the foreign corporations to impose their marketed future poisons.

The big cash cow the corporations want when this whole swine flu brouhaha is done is that they get their vaccine added to the numerous list of recommended childhood vaccinations. That is the continuous big cash cow there. It seems Philippine officials are smart and can see through the ruse.

An Indonesian high ranking government official pointed out her factual distrust of foreign powers. Who knows what’s in those patented drugs? Who knows what you are truly injecting in their brothers and sisters? Do you actually trust the imperialist corporations? No the Indonesians do not and they will do their own home grown thing.

The same mature attitude is being shown by Philippine government officials. Not as confrontational… you don’t want the imperialists kicking our brown butts… you know they worship profits more than Filipino lives. I love our Philippine government officials so far. They are doing their best protecting Filipinos from the greedy foreign imperialists.

Any flu like symptoms can be interpreted as swine flu h1n1. Flu like symptoms are a mere sign of toxemia. If you eat cooked food day and night plus stimulants like coffee, sugar and non human foods like all the grains, beans and junk food, then you should get sick. The cure for flu like symptoms is rest, stop eating when not hungry, make sure you poop: enema / colon cleanser, drink diluted fruit juice like plain calamansi juice all day. Once your body has detoxified itself, you will be fine.

I just realized that the world has gone nuts. People and Scientists assume humans were meant to eat cooked animal foods.

by

Being healthy and starting to look buffed on a raw paleolithic diet which involves eating a lot of raw animal food is such a rush. There is that feeling of absolutely glowing health I’ve never felt before in my entire life. It’s like hello, where have you been all this time? I just realized before my venture into a raw paleolithic diet that I had been operating, living my life sub-optimally.

Yo friends and relatives, I’m wearing hunk type t-shirts, with the short sleeves… and wearing skinny jeans because it is the in-thing. I don’t have asthma, I don’t have mitral valve prolapse, I don’t have cystic acne, I don’t have folliculitis, I’m not obese, I’m stronger, I don’t get colds, or fevers, or flu, I don’t have heart palpitations, I don’t have white hair, I don’t have eczema… I have none of those, and I don’t miss them one bit.

I just realized I eat quite a good amount of raw meat… and it makes me healthy. I just realized our current culture is a bizarro world… like the Superman comics where everything promoted is upside down… all concepts of health are upside down. Let’s just concentrate on the culture of cooking all your animal food. Most people, including so-called charlatan scientists actually believe humans were born to eat cooked food, cooked animal meats. And just whatever form of cooking is fair game, that eating raw meat is un-healthy. These days I realized that eating cooked meat all the time is not a big conspiracy… it is just plain taught stupidity.

The thing is, the difference between raw meat and cooked meat must be recognized as a wide chasm of a difference. An egg is oozing and liquid, boil it and it becomes solid… everything about it is different… the once organic healthy material is gradually and surely decomposed back to inorganic material that does you no good. And people wonder why they are sick? Man, you eat cooked meat every freaking day…. you will be sick.

One question in the raw paleo forum was that since most of us were eating large quantities of raw animal foods, how come we avoid the nasty side effects of the COOKED Atkins diet? The magic is in RAW MEAT, RAW ANIMAL PROTEIN, RAW ANIMAL FAT. Cooked Atkins is high in cooked animal food – probably its author never imagined that animal food must be eaten RAW. Cooked animal food, even high fat cooked will be detrimental to your health. All the good stuff in the raw animal are missing when it is cooked… the blood, the raw muscles, the raw fats, the raw organs… the traces of rawness are all that’s left. And with most of my countrymen these days, they are scared stiff at seeing any red or blood in their cooked meats… people have gone insane, and they don’t know it.

Scientists have gone insane because they were born and raised to eat animal food cooked and everything they write about animal food is from a cooked point of view. Even their studies are all idiotic because they assume that animal food is cooked.

This raw animal food eating movement must be ignited. Wake the people up to a new and healthy paradigm. Raw animal food is the super nutritious foods raw vegans have always been searching for… they are just blinded by their new age dogma against killing animals for food. Look, we did not invent the rules of life. It is just the way it is. Humans are true raw omnivores. Cooking is a crutch to lean on in hard times… and you live sub-optimally… if you want to be the best that you can be, it’s time you ate organic, ocean, grass fed raw animal foods. Stop the cooked meat insanity. Begin with yourself and your family.

Felt some Left Lower Jaw Pain yesterday, I’m suspecting the wisdom tooth removal pocket, called the Beam Ray expert

by

Yesterday I felt a dull pain on my lower left jaw. It was not my tooth. It was in the jaw. I’m suspecting the wisdom tooth socket. In my ignorant days as part of a pain emergency I had with an extra tooth growing under my tongue, I had agreed to have my two lower jaw wisdom teeth surgically removed as well.

Only later did I read about biological dentists and their aim to properly clean wisdom tooth sockets. That maybe the regular dentist may not have cleaned it properly. I think the technical term is cavitation?

So I’m thinking biological dentist. But prior to the biological dentist, go to the beam ray expert first. Called up Romy Macapagal and he was a wealth of information. I’d gladly see him and pick his brains and be treated at the same time.

So maybe I’m thinking wednesday or thursday. Be treated via the beam ray machine. Kill them parasites and germs in those cavitations. Then see the biological dentist another time.

Sounds like a good plan.

Tried Cooked pork lechon and I felt terrible afterwards

by

I was out last night after a client meeting. It was late at night I passed by the Paranaque fish port to get some fish. Then passed by the Baclaran Sea Side market to see what was there. Then I saw a lechon restaurant with a lot of good pieces left. I thought that I had not tasted lechon pork for a long time, I wondered what it would be like to eat some cooked meat again… tried it and I didn’t like it.

So I got 1/4 kilo of the cooked pork lechon. Very fatty and with skin and with the liver sauce. I did not feel right outright afterwards. In the morning, my stomach was still messed up. My poop suddenly turned diarrhea like… my innards were grumbling. Oh my. I had truly adjusted to a raw paleo eating for a good time, my body did not like that cooked meat at all. I didn’t find any satisfaction in eating it, it was just a curiosity experiment.

So lately I do not like eating cooked meat at all. It’s like a sacrifice for me to eat cooked meat. I mean, my body is looking for, craving for health. Give me raw blood and I’ll drink it. Give me, give me raw meat, please. But cooked meat? I’ll pass.

This evening we are having raw tuna for dinner. Bought the kids some nori sea weed so they find rolling their own sushi fun. I also got the kids some fresh durian for snacks, oh, they will be so happy today.
