Parasite Cleanses: Afraid of Raw Animal Foods, Afraid of Raw Paleo Diet Because of Fear of Parasites

by

People new to the concept of raw animal foods as a staple in their diets such as in a raw paleo diet are paranoid about parasites. I say the only raw meat staple I avoid are pigs / pork because they are known to have dangerous parasites. While beef tapeworms are mostly benign. And the benefits like cure all diseases in raw paleo diet are by far way up there than the perceived threat of parasites. The discussion goes like this:

i believe raw eggs are safe from parasites – correct ? the same would be true for something like milk ( i don’t drink milk ) right ?

is there anything else ? maybe some sort of oysters or shrimp or some nonsense like that ?

My answer below:

Lots of sea food should have no dangerous to human parasites.
It is fresh water food that has more parasites that stick to humans.

Weston price followers say you freeze your meat for 14 days and parasites are all dead.

But parasites are everywhere, when you breath, shake someones hand, eat salad, eat fruit, eat meat… and you can try cooking them all to death, which may include your death as well. See hulda clark’s early demise, she degenerated fast because of her paranoia.

Parasites are easy to get rid of. Through foods, through herbs, through electricity, through drugs.

Keep parasites in check by not polluting yourself with chemicals so they stay where they should stay.

Being undernourished or polluted nourished is more of a threat.

All humans host parasites because we are the top predator of this world.

I live in the tropics and we grow up knowing parasites are normal and we can get rid of them easily.

I detected / saw in my poop liver fluke tomato peels parasites in 2005 to 2006, and I was on the regular Filipino SAD cooked diet. And I was sick being consumed of eczema then.

I went raw paleo diet Jan 2008.

I detected / saw tapeworms in my poop Jan 2011. My gut feels solid, I feel great. But I now proceeded to get rid of them because I want to control their numbers.

I’m at the top of my health game today. Do the worms scare me? Nyet.

Am I going to give up a raw paleo diet because I saw tapeworms? Not on anybody’s vegan anti-meat fantasy!

My health is still going up up and away I’m enjoying myself… all because of a raw paleo diet.

Paleo Diet: Understanding the Need to go on Raw Paleo Diet

by

So cooked meat and cooked vegetable Paleo Diet is in the news these days. They eat cooked meat, cooked vegetables and raw fruits. But there is also the option to eat raw meat, raw vegetables and raw fruits. It’s called raw paleo diet. A beautiful and healthy paleo dieter in cavemanforum.com asked: “I don’t really understand the need for raw paleo.”

The need for raw paleo diet depends on how sick a person is.

The people who go on raw paleo diet usually come from some really grave illness that only the power of raw paleo diet will deliver. Think of the biggest, baddest “incurable” diseases medical doctors cannot cure. Deathly cancer, deathly psoriasis, deathly diabetes, etc.

I went on 100% raw because I wanted to stop liver flushing as I was a liver stone former. Going 100% raw vegan and 100% raw fruitarian and 14 days of orange juice fasting stopped liver stone formation but made me malnourished. Adding raw fish and raw eggs made me bounce up to normal weight and adding raw beef, raw beef fat, raw bone marrow made me stronger.

The eczema that consumed me was put under remission, but my health progress had plateaued in 2006 to 2007. On raw paleo diet now for 3 years and my health gains are still sky rocketing up and up and up. I would be a fool to stop my raw paleo dieting. There was 1 month I tried all cooked meat paleo diet and felt so horrible I had to go back on raw paleo diet.

Raw animal FAT is the number one missing ingredient in cooked or rare paleo diets. Raw animal fat is probably the most important super duper food that everyone needs to get well from the most incurable of all diseases. I repeat again: Raw Animal FAT is the number 1 super food that will nourish, hydrate, lubricate, cleanse your body. You can begin with raw eggs and raw fatty ocean fish sashimi.

We just had dinner and my wife and I put our foot down on the children to go on cooked / semi cooked / rare paleo diet to clear up their eczematic skins. We are killing rice with them. I made them the compromise that I’m not pushing raw paleo diet this time, so they should be happy with their cooked meats. (they already know the power of raw paleo diet when they were gravely ill at times – too much mucus (3 days), painful tooth decay (3 days), eczema eating up hand ( 1 week) , tuberculosis (2 months, raw beef and raw blood) )

Most people will only need cooked / semi cooked / rare / in between paleo diet just to lose weight and they should be fine.

Vegetable Garden Urban Homestead 6000 Pounds of Produce a Year

by

Awesome family harvests 6000 lbs of produce in 1/10 of an acre of land in the big city of Pasadena, California. If they can do this, you and I can. Be self sufficient on vegetables in small farm animals like chickens, ducks and goats for meat. Freedom. Food freedom. We have a couple of provincial maids. This should be easy for them.

Homegrown Revolution (2008) is a film short that gives a brief introduction to the Dervaes Family’s urban homestead which they call “Path to Freedom.” On this tiny city lot, a beautiful and productive oasis was created, producing 6,000 lbs of food annually and is a model of urban sustainability.

Film premiers at the WILD & SCENIC FILM FESTIVAL (Jan 9-11, 2009)

http://www.wildandscenicfilmfestival.org

——About Path to Freedom——

Since the mid 1980s, members of the Dervaes family have steadily worked at transforming their ordinary city lot in Pasadena into a thriving organic micro farm that supplies them with food all year round. These eco-pioneers also run a successful home business providing their surplus produce to local restaurants. Through their adventures in growing and preserving their own food, installing a solar power system, home-brewing biodiesel for fuel, raising backyard farm animals, and learning back-to-basics skills, these modern-day pioneers have revived the old-fashioned spirit of self-reliance and resourcefulness.

Since 2001, their website has inspired hundreds of thousands to take steps towards a sustainable future and has generated a 21st century urban homestead movement.

Cancer Cure, Psoriasis Cure is Easy if you begin with 100% Raw Paleo Diet and Lifestyle

by

Cancer and Psoriasis is a pollution issue, it is a detox issue, it is a food allergy issue, it is many issues and they all can be cured easily if you just go back to the human recommended diet by nature which is a raw paleo diet.  Stress on EASY, easy, easy.

What is a raw paleo diet? It is the original diet of human beings before agriculture and cooking ever came about. People ate raw meat (and sea food, and lake food, and river food), raw fruits, some raw vegetables, raw nuts, raw tubers. From that wide variety of sources, our human body is specifically fueled for. They are the cleanest, most nutritious, easiest to digest foods on earth. Stuff you can eat without processing.Continue Reading

Juicing, Smoothies of Fruits and Vegetables May Be Bad for Your Gut Health, How to Gain Weight

by

We have a new member code named Caban at the Raw Paleo Diet forum and he needs some tweaking with his diet to help him gain weight. He thought juicing and smoothies were good stuff so he would do juicing and smoothies every single day. He didn’t know that that was the prime suspect in his ill gut health.

This is my present diet:
I meal – Fresh juice made of apples, parsnips/carrots, zucchini/celery.
II meal – Raw meat, usually beef or lamb with some goose/lamb fat
III meal – Smoothie made from banana, lettuce, juice from one apple, parsley and dill
IV meal – Again raw meat. I tend to choose other kind of meat than the one in the second meal.

I replied with:

Drop the freak juice combinations!
Just eat your apples… alone… as they are… in their natural form.
Just eat your carrots… alone… as they are… in their natural form.
Just eat your zuccini… alone… as they are… in their natural form.

Stop making smoothies. Just eat bananas. Just eat lettuce… alone.

If you stop those (idiotic) juices, your tummy may heal and be solid. You will gain weight.

Stop combining your meats, if it is beef, eat beef. If lamb, just lamb. If goose, just goose.

Overdose on various types of probiotics for 2 weeks to 1 month then stop. It should give you a solid gut and will allow you to absorb nutrients better. You can also add high meat for more probiotics.

A fellow member asked:

Hmmm, what’s wrong with smoothies? We, raw paleo eaters, are already pretty much restricted as to what we can eat, why further remove perfectly good things from the diet? Of course I would agree that a lot of juices is not a good idea – it is hardly paleo, but smoothies are a perfect way to eat, say, raw eggs with a little fruit and a little honey. That makes a nice light breakfast, or lunch if you have to eat in a “social environment”.

In my own experience, I have found that just raw fruits or vegetables, eaten whole, are much harder to digest. Maybe the blending process somehow breaks down the fibers?

I replied with:

What is wrong is what the smoothies and the juices are doing to Caban.
– he is not gaining weight
– his stomach isn’t in top form.
– and the #1 suspect he is doing wrong is smoothies and juicing.

There is such a thing as over dosing. Also irritating the gut with juices.
Juicing will not allow your body, your taste, your smell, your tongue to self regulate your eating.
If you have a bunch of anti-nutrients in your juice, it goes straight to your gut. Ouch.
Eating the fruit alone or the vegetable alone, you know exactly when to stop.
You’d be surprised to find out you don’t need to eat a ton of fruit or a ton of vegetables to satisfy you.

Juicing can be skillfully used in crisis situations by a knowledgable healer. And when I or my pro healer friend recommend juicing, we do not combine the juices… each juice alone.
But in Caban’s case, he is clearly suffering from juicing… absolutely suffering from juicing.

Juicing and smoothies should be relegated to social / fun situations and very small amounts.

Juicing and smoothies is a throwback to those raw vegans to who need enormous amounts of plant food to make up for their not eating meat and fat. Because meat and fat is a concentrated food.

Regarding hard to digest fruits and vegetables:

Don’t lump fruits with vegetables.

Vegetables are hard to digest. They are plants and they have anti-nutrient / toxin defenses.

Fruits are meant to be eaten because trees offer it to us animals, so they are easy to digest.

If the rind is not for you, then don’t eat the rind or the skin.

Plus it depends on what fruit or what vegetable.

It’s mango season here in Manila and my household is just consuming kilos of mangoes a day. We don’t eat the skin or the big seed.

Regarding the issue of raw paleo dieters being restricted in food intake:

We raw paleos are not “restricted”, we are free from all the complex “modern” crap, we butt our heads together in search of the best results.

Eating mono meals optimizes digestion. It allows your body to concentrate on digesting one food at a time. And you will get the optimal results you are looking for. Solid gut, gain weight.

Paleo Diet, Raw Paleo Diet Saturday Lunch Meat Feast: Let Them Eat Meat

by

I went marketing Saturday morning. This lunch fiesta offering is a result of this morning’s marketing. This is a trying to be healthy paleo diet / raw paleo diet lunch only broken by organic white rice since everyone else in the table needs eat to rice (except me). You can see a plethora of dishes, I know too many stuff going on… but they are lightly cooked so should be easy to digest for everyone.

Kept for myself some raw beef and raw bone marrow. I was thinking of eating that onion with it but at this meal I was able only to eat the bone marrow plus the raw fishes and some garlic.

A raw fish fish dish were dulong in raw duck egg yolks. Dulong are tiny fish. So my kids get to eat the head, the innards, the bones. Some were lightly seared in a pan with ghee, and some were raw. Dulong is lean so you really have to add your duck eggs.

Another raw fish dish was finger long hasa hasa fish. It’s rare to get hasa hasa this small. It is dipped in vinegar to cleanse it from wet market handling. You never know where it has been so the vinegar cleanses it. The raw head is awesome, the body too.

The cooked in soup fish is called dorado. It’s a big green fish that turns black and yellow in the market. It tastes good in soup or lightly heated above charcoal.

The squid are with squid eggs, in the market they are called itlugan. Lucky those who get it, extra nutrition. It was lightly heated above charcoals and added some ginger and onions for flavoring.

The dilis are small fish that is dipped in real raw coconut vinegar to cleanse it from market handling.

Not in the picture were raw oysters and some heated to open oysters.

It looks like a ton of food but more than 10 people feasted in this table. Plus in another table were 4 maids and a driver. 2 maids are pregnant so they need all the nutrition they can get.

Almost all the fish are wild ocean fish except for the dulong which are fish fry. Our vinegar is organic. The duck eggs are from Palawan, via a primitive duck herder. The beef and bone marrow is grass fed and freshly killed same day. The 3 types of small fish were eaten whole with the heads and intestines and bones. No fancy condiments whatsoever because the food and ingredients are fresh and of high quality.

As you can see, we are focused on quality meats / animal food (fish are animals, fish IS meat). It is lunch time. Fruit and salad greens had its time during breakfast.

I worked to earn the money, then personally went to market and chose these foodstuffs, then arranged them in the kitchen, then told the maids what to do and what to prepare. I can see now that the reason people get bad quality food is they abdicate the marketing and food preparation to the help or someone who’s time is cheaper… and may be less intelligent, in fact – non-knowledgable about nutrition.

In this case, I am the money maker, I am the healer, I am the marketer and I am the lead chef. This is all part of preventive medicine. Food is the best medicine.
