What is Paleo Diet Presentation

by

So you want to lose weight, gain health and stop being diabetic? Paleo diet is for you. But what is paleo diet? Paleolithic diet, what our ancestors ate before agriculture was invented. It is the most human compatible fuel there is. It works, it works, it works. The following presentation comes close to how I would put paleo diet.

Although my version of paleo diet is RAW PALEO Diet, the paleo diet before cooking. Which is absolutely more logical as cooking is not uniform, it’s a grab bag, very recent. Cooking is processing and you don’t want processed food in your gut.

Natural food, raw paleo diet food, your body knows how to deal with.

Raw Wild Honey in Ifugao: Rare and Expensive

by

I’m just back from my 2nd trip to Ifugao province and I visit their markets. I’m lucky enough to get raw wild honey by chance and buy as much as I can afford and I’m keeping these in storage as medicine. I now have different colors: brown, orange and yellow. All taste different. All are expensive.

Raw wild honey is expensive because it is wild. The supply is limited and erratic. You are lucky if the tribes people sell you some from their mountains. They consume and keep what they need and sell to us low landers their excess, which is not much. It’s good that most low land people are not too aware of just how crazily medicinal raw honey is.

The Ifugao know how medicinal raw wild honey is. It is well known that raw wild honey is snapped up in the market when it gets there. I’m lucky because I keep looking for raw wild honey and keep asking for it.

The value of honey for the Ifugao was stressed when I was at the central provincial souvenir building and I chanced upon the display of eight small bottles of raw wild honey from hucbong. I decided to buy 5. I left some for other customers.

The two male Ifugao staff were both giggling. I asked what was funny. They said they had bought up with their own money a good amount of the raw wild honey that arrived yesterday. They were scrounging for more money to buy the rest of the raw wild honey, but I arrived and bought up almost all that was left. I did leave 3.

They both knew raw wild honey was superior and they did not care for the plentiful farmed honey in the lower shelves. They knew where Hucbong was, the source of the honey. And they actually met the natives who brought the honey to the center. They know it’s the real deal. If they had enough money, they would have bought all of the raw wild honey for themselves.

The staff said raw wild honey is used plain given to children who are sick with colds and coughs. They also give it to their fighting cocks when their fighting cocks have colds. No need for calamansi they said. Yeah, I’ve heard that story before that raw wild honey was basically medicine for their children.

Come to think of it, I should have bought the last 3 bottles as well.

High Everything Diet, Raising Metabolism and Curing Diseases

by

I was in the car listening again to an interview of Matt Stone of 180degreehealth.com and his promoting the high everything diet in the talk show of Jimmy Moore’s Livin La Vida Low Carb show. Of course for those who follow the dogma of low carb diets, what Matt Stone says is complete heresy. But for myself as a raw paleo dieter and healer of people, high everything diet is just plain healing logic.

I know of at least 2 notable healers who use high everything diets in their healing practice. One is my good friend and professional healer Vander Gaditano and one is Aajonus Vonderplanitz.

I have both books of Aajonus Vonderplanitz and his healing diet plan calls for continuous eating large quantities of your most nutritious animal foods, green juices and some fruit. Aajonus even has recipes that involve a combination of raw honey and raw fat (raw butter). Honey is widely promoted by Aajonus… combining this with fat and protein and this is a high everything diet.

Vander Gaditano is even more specific about raising body temperature and raising your metabolism. When Vander shakes your hand, he instinctively says something about the warmth or clamminess of your hand. Vander says raising the patient’s metabolism increases his rate of healing vastly. Vander encourages his patients to eat and eat and eat and eat in vast quantities they can digest. I’ve seen him cook organic brown rice in pyrex glass, cook organic goat meat for protein, in coconut milk (fat).

What is astounding is just as veganism is exposed as false religion, so must this insistence of everyone should go on low carb diets at all times and that carbohydrates are evil. There is a time for veganism, there is a time for low carb diets, and there is a time for high everything diets. And yes I agree that high carbohydrate – low fat diet of the SAD food pyramid is just ridiculously wrong.

If you are carbohydrate sensitive, then you may actually be sick or nutritionally deficient you are not able to process carbohydrates. What you need is some nutrition to metabolize carbohydrates and some good healthy carbohydrates. This is where vegetable green juicing and special fruit like bitter melon comes in. Watch how ingesting half a bitter raw bitter melon for a day or two will help you consume the carbohydrates you need for health to raise your metabolism.

Going on high everything diets is just practical healing. The only thing to watch out for is digestion. Can that person digest the food you truck in his mouth? This is where raw paleo diets come in because these are the easiest to digest, most nutritious food stuffs you can eat. And also this is why sequential eating is superior to food combining.

Listen to Matt Stone’s interview about his version of high everything diet on the livin la vida low carb show. Click here.

My raw paleo diet version of the high everything diet can involve raw meat, raw bone marrow, raw starches and raw honey. It has worked for me when I do this I feel too warm sometimes. Raw wild honey is key. No wonder traditional peoples have prized raw wild honey for millenia, why the Ifugao give raw wild honey to their children when sick and this will be the subject of another blog post: raw wild honey.

Warning! Expose on Transglutaminase “Meat Glue” – Must Watch!

by

TOXIC re-processed glued together “meat!” An expose on the meat industry in Australia and their use of Transglutaminase “meat glue” to sell off-cuts as prime meat for a premium price. The original video is from Australian Channel 7’s current affairs program “Today Tonight”.

This is an outrage! Those people should be sent to jail for life for poisoning the citizenry! This just goes to show how far removed people are from their food. Most of them cannot tell if the meat is real. The journalist says it’s hard to tell? Puhleezee…. I do all the marketing in my household and I eat raw meat and can tell the difference right off the bat what is real and not.

In my country, people make longganisa / sausages to sell the unsellable scraps of meat. It’s out in the open… processed put together “meat”. These Australians and other cheaters should just adopt the Filipino tradition of longganisa so their scrap meat can be sold LEGALLY without DECEPTION.

In my city, I have followed beef from the slaughter house to the market. Goats are slaughtered in front of you. And in the wet markets full quarters of beef are on display and cut apart in front of your eyes. Goat carcasses are in full view. This type of glued meat cheating cannot be done in wet markets where regular buyers are aware of animal body parts.

Maybe this is the answer to some aspiring raw paleo dieters not being able to tolerate raw meat? Maybe it’s because they are eating raw glued meat? And they are being poisoned by the glue that supposedly dissipates when the meat is cooked? And being newbie raw meat eaters they still unfortunately cannot tell the difference between good meat and bad meat?

This is awful. All parties to this intentional food pollution, poisoning and duping of the buying public need to be prosecuted severely.

Healthy REAL meat is absolutely good for your health. Find yourselves REAL MEAT.

Filipino Health: Check The Purity of Your Rice

by

I just came from a vacation in Nueva Ecija and met a wholesale palay trader. He was encouraging me to get into the rice trading business so I got an entire list of rice species palay and corresponding prices. Then it struck me, as a health conscious father and healer, that the retail rice in Manila was corrupt, chemicalized, blended, unpure. A big issue was the purity of your rice… and we city slickers are just too ignorant to have ever questioned the Filipino staple diet you eat 3x a day… rice is UN-pure, UN-clean and most probably UN-healthy.

The ignorant city slicker that I am, I was looking for labels in the rice fields like dinorado, laon, ifugao, but I found none. They had funny numbers and names instead:

160 – long grain
134 – long grain
214 – long grain
Angelica long grain
82 – long grain
222 – long grain
c10 – short grain
super rice – short grain
super tila – short grain

And many more.

The process is that farmers store these palay in sacks in their homes. When they need money, they sell the palay. The palay buyers buy the palay and sell them to the wholesale buyers who send it to the rice mills with machines to turn the palay into rice… bigas. And this is where they BLEND… combine, different rice sources to come up with some rice name they sell retail like LAON, in the retail stores in Manila.

A big secret my rice trader friend told me was that the packers SPRAY the rice with some chemical fragrance so that you buying and smelling the rice are FOOLED into thinking… yeah this is good… NOT… it’s fake!

Another trick the rice packers do is to increase their profit margins by blending in inferior rice such as NFA rice. NFA rice in this context is given a bad name being thought of as cheap and inferior, mixed with more expensive rice and the packers sell the rice at higher margins by reducing their cost.

So this is the thing dear fellow urban dwellers. You and I have been had. Every time you go to a rice retailer or even buy those half sacks of whatever brand name they use… it’s just a brand name… a blend of different rice grains plus added artificial odors. Your urban retail rice is NOT PURE.

My new rice wholesaler friend gave me 4 kilos of white long grain rice with binhi designation 160. I had it cooked for my children’s lunch. I had forgotten about it as I visited them at lunch. These 3 children 9, 7 and 6 were all raving about how DELICIOUS the new rice was. “It’s sooooo goooodddd… the rice is delicious by itself without any ulam (meat) or sauce.” I was totally surprised as these comments were UNSOLICITED. I never asked for them. The kids just chimed in and were just plain HAPPY!

Rice is a staple food and has been for many hundreds of years. But it has been getting a bad reputation in paleo diet circles, but rice is the least harmful of all the grains. But now this, this new realization, that it’s not that rice is bad, rice is good… if it is PURE. Rice is good if there were no chemicals in it, if it was newly shelled / milled / husk removed. The very definition of organic.

Something like the Tinawon traditional white rice variety of the Banaue and surrounding Ifugao rice terraces, is always organic, pesticide free, organic water, organic soil… but expensive, harvests only once per year and shoots come only at 5 per stalk, manually planted and harvested… all leading to… expensive… 150 per kilo! The Ifugao usually keep Tinawon for themselves. It’s highly nutritious and heavy and filling. You will feel it when you eat it.

I am in the process of purifying our rice supplies. Last month I got lots of traditional Banaue rice, red rice, just yesterday I brought home 10 kilos of Tinawon. But this expensive Banaue rice is unsustainable. I will have to make arrangements with my contacts in Nueva Ecija and Quezon for cheaper but PURE rice.

If you want the best of health for your family, you need to go out now and investigate how you can get PURE RICE. This is your Filipino diet staple… your health depends on it. Now you know why the Ifugao do not usually sell their traditional rice. Now I know.

Crohn’s Disease Treatment and Cure with Raw Meats and Raw Dairy

by

Max Kane suffered from Crohn’s Disease for 20 years. He tried Jordan Rubin’s protocol but it made little difference. He followed his education with Dr. Joe Brasco who introduced Max to Jim Marlow.

Jim taught Max about the 7 Steps of Health and raw food nutrition. For the first time in his life, Max was able to understand the functions of the body, and he began to develop a greater understanding of what he needed to do to improve his health.

Jim Marlowe taught Max about the value of consuming high quality food, as well as the value of consuming raw food, as opposed to heat-damaged food. “I taught him about the value of eating raw meat, as opposed to cooked meat. In that first session with him, I even mentioned the value of eating raw poultry. There are very few people who I have worked with over the years who I even mention that to, because of the belief they have that poultry should never be eaten undercooked.

In that first session with Max, I introduced him to the concept of being a ‘nutrition first’ eater. Ultimately this way of eating becomes one of intention and integrity. The intention part comes from making your food choices primarily on the nutritional value of what you’re eating, rather than making your food choices based on taste, convenience, shelf life, appearance of the food and what’s on sale. Of course if you make your priority of food choice based on taste, convenience and price, then the nutritional value is only an afterthought, if a thought at all. You’re only going to nourish yourself by accident. And if you nourish yourself by accident, your health will likely be in a very precarious state. The intention needs to be ‘I am going to nourish myself’, that’s the priority.

And later on Max benefited from the writings of Aajonus Vonderplanitz and consumed raw dairy and all became well. Incurable Crohn’s Disease is now cured, simply because of being on his version of raw paleo diet.

It’s been 2 years now on a raw paleo diet, specifically a raw primal diet as this has dairy and all is well with Max Kane.

Which shows that all roads lead to a raw food diet… and it has to include raw animal products… not those malnourishing vegan fantasies.

Art DeVany Paleo Diet Book: the New Evolution Diet and Exercise Program

by

Some people say Art DeVany started the paleo diet concepts long ago. Art has been on paleo diet for several decades now and at 73 seems to be reaping the rewards. Art has aged gracefully, he’s fit and he’s strong.

From Amazon:

Astonishing as it may be, it’s a fact that human DNA has evolved very little since our Paleolithic ancestors roamed the earth. But while our genes may be similar, the environment in which they express themselves has changed radically. Living in an age when activity was mandatory and food was scarce, our ancestors thrived. Early man did not suffer from heart disease, high blood pressure, or obesity. In fact, a good deal of what we describe as “normal aging” is more akin to disease than any natural aging process.

Disease free and strikingly fit, 72-year-old Arthur De Vany—grandfather of the “Paleo lifestyle” movement—is living proof that it pays to live like a caveman. In The New Evolution Diet, De Vany offers you a roadmap back to better health. The plan is built on three principles:
– eat three meals a day made up of nonstarchy vegetables, fruits, and lean proteins
– skip meals occasionally to promote a low fasting blood insulin level
– exercise less, not more, in shorter, high-intensity bursts

By cutting out modern foods—including carbohydrates, dairy, and all processed foods—anyone can lose weight, gain muscle, and enjoy a longer, better life.
