Hello,

As some of you may know I’m the author of http://www.curemanual.com and
in it I suggest a wide range of diets… as long as it does not involve
grains, beans, potatoes.

If your digestive system is wrecked, you may need to go raw vegan / raw
fruitarian for a month or do some orange juice fasting first.  But once
your digestive system has healed, it’s time for some serious nutrition.

For serious nutrition and body rebuilding I recommend a raw paleolithic
diet, carefully upping the content or raw organic animal foods, more raw
fats intake, raw internal organs like raw liver and raw kidneys which
are bursting with nutrition, will blow away your supplements.

I joined this yahoo group called rawpaleodiet@yahoogroups.com , here you
can discuss with people who have been on Raw Paleolithic Diets for quite
some time and they know quite a lot about real healing as many of them
have gone around the raw circles from raw vegan, to raw fruitarian too.

Raw Paleolithic Diet eats the same raw vegan and raw fruits too, with
the addition of raw animal foods like eggs, fish, land animal muscles,
internal organs, brains, marrow, suet, etc.

The core group built a new forum / public message board.  Do visit,
don’t just browse, join up and register.  Visit http://www.rawpaleoforum.com

I hope exposure to the RPD group will widen the tools of healing for
those who are stuck in the raw vegan or cooked meat world.  Raw meat is
a separate class of foods and work far differently from cooked meat.

Good skill everyone,
Edwin

I just watched 10000 BC the movie and I really liked it.  I’ve been raw paleolithic dieting since January 2008 and I’ve just re-read the book Guns Germs and Steel by Jared Diamond about how the hunter gatherers are usually over-run and eventually replaced by agricultural civilization or the hunter gatherers themselves become farmers themselves.

That was the gist of the 10000 BC movie.  The hero’s father set off to look for agricultural technology to save his people from starving because it appears that the woolly mammoths they depend on for their food are fast disappearing.  He did find agricultural technology but he was kidnapped by a lost civilization which regularly raided hunter gatherers for slaves.  Our hero, because the love of his life was also enslaved went on to organize fellow hunter gatherer tribes to form an army against the lost civilization.  In this battle, the hunter gatherers won.  Hooray for the underdogs.

At the end of the movie, the hunter gatherers watch as their new crops grow fast, they are now farmers.  And as we raw paleolithic dieters know, it is agriculture that led to the downward spiral of health of people for 10,000 years.  Fully fed hunter gatherers were much healthier than fully fed farmers, or fully fed 21st century urbanites.

It was a fun movie.  I loved seeing those woolly mammoths come to life.  I checked the internet and it seems the last mammoths died out just very recently around 1700 BC.  The hunter gatherers were built and they were strong.  The writers did their homework.  Civilized soldiers are no match for hunter gatherers one on one.  The soldiers had to have superior numbers or superior technology to defeat hunter gatherers and in the movie, the soldiers did not have superior numbers.

It helped that the lead actress, Camilla Belle, was extremely pretty.  She looks like the daughter of Tom Cruise.  But I read she’s not.  She does look like Tom Cruise.  Wow, a girl version of Tom Cruise is pretty! And she had perfect teeth!  Hunter gatherers usually do have perfect teeth!

I just snacked on 5 raw egg yolks before I sat down and wrote this review.  Yummy.  My bedtime snack.

I’ve been subscribed to the rawpaleodiet@yahoogroups.com yahoo groups for a few months now.  They decided to launch a website forum.  Here is the announcement:

Some of our members have suggested starting a new rawpaleodiet PHPBB
board/forum as it contained a number of advantages that the Yahoo
groups forums lacked. Here’s the link for those who might be interested
in joining it:-

Of course I’m joining.  Count me in.

What is raw paleolithic dieting?  Raw paleolithic dieting is the diet of our ancestors, before fire, before cooking.  Cooking has been in existence for at least 100,000 years.  But is it optimal for people to eat cooked food?  Probably not.

Last night before dinner I passed by Farmer’s Market to buy some goat kidneys my 6 year old boy has been requesting for quite some time. I was lucky to chance upon the goat seller that did have quite a lot of it. I got more than 1 kilo of goat kidneys at only P 60 / kilo. How cheap!

Back at home we prepared the grill so that the kidneys could be heated for a couple of seconds for the germs and for my wife’s sanity as this was our children’s dinner. She’d rather have none of it.

While slicing up the kidneys thinly I had the chance to eat them raw. Goat kidneys were very tender. I just removed the coating on the kidneys and bite and hardly need to chew. But chewing brings out the flavor. Very good! Taste like nothing I’ve ever tasted, tastes like goat kidney. I must tell you that when I eat raw animal foods I use zero condiments.

Now I know why my boy has been requesting goat kidneys, they taste great.

Goat kidneys actually tasted better fully raw than when seared / heated.

I had a great dinner last night. Along with the goat kidneys I got a small slice of goat liver. And I added a few strips of prime raw live yellowish beef fat. I was stuffed but happy.

My 83 year old grandmother was with us for dinner and I gave her some fully grilled kidneys and liver which she ate and enjoyed. We did not tell her it was goat. I did not do the cooking since my standards of cooking / heating have changed so much.

My wife grilled some of my prime tender beef to well done and I just tasted it, it was awful. My taste buds are adjusting.

Medicinal uses of raw kidneys?  Some healers say like heals like so if you have kidney problems, eat kidneys.  If you have liver problems such as cancer, eat liver.  Raw is key.

It is almost the end of April 2008.

Last night my wife said, “you are so thin I can see your veins through your hands.”  Hmmm…. another wise crack at my raw food diet huh?  Those wise cracks would be true if I had stuck to a fruitarian diet but I did not.

Remember I began my raw paleolithic diet beginning January 2008?  Beginning with the Wai Diet?  Adding raw fish and raw egg yolks?

By March 2008 I added many more kinds of raw sea food, roasted fatty pork, raw beef, raw goat skin in vinegar and soups of goat innards.  Trying hard to emulate the Homo Optimus Diet with 1 part protein, 3 parts fat, 0.8 parts carbs in the form of fruit.

I gather that since my fruit is mostly coconut, that is more fat than carbs.  The high carb fruits would be mangoes and bananas, not much else is high carb.

I don’t eat vegetables.  Fruits taste so much better.

I have not figured out yet how to get 3 parts fat on my diet yet, I must add more coconut milk (gata) to my regimen.

So back to my wife’s comment that I was thin?  Oh yeah?  I went straight for the digital weighing scale.  Weighed 3 times to get a good average.  I am 120 pounds on April 28, 2008. That means I gained 8 lean pounds since January.  That is 2 pounds per month.  I am meeting my goal.  Hooray for me.  And I gained 8 pounds while maintaining a 29 inch waist line.

My goal is 130 pounds, so that is an easy 5 months away.  There is no rush.  Just like when I was losing weight when I was overweight, I merely targetted 2 pounds per month.

I must sign up with a gym soon.
