Our cook has not been coming to work for the past few days. Her husband collapsed in their toilet. They took him to the hospital and was told it was due to low blood? Low blood pressure?

All those hospital tests and accommodations instantly cost them 15,000 pesos. All they got was a diagnosis that he had low blood? That the low blood was due to his taking his medications for high blood? That he needed to be infused with more blood?

My wife asked our cook if she used the cayenne tincture I gave them as a Christmas gift. Of course they forgot about the cayenne tincture in their panic. They believe the medical gods.

So my cook is short of cash, gets a loan from my wife, which honestly will never be repaid. They check out from that hospital. Go home. And look for a cheaper hospital for the blood they are looking for. The first donor was rejected because he had a tattoo. A second blood donor came along and they were charged another 15,000 pesos, I will have to confirm this amount.

So how is the poor fellow? I don’t know. Maybe tomorrow we will know. Sounds like money making crap to me. Poor people victimized by idiotic money making hospitals. Blood transfusion my a**. I know the guy, he doesn’t need blood transfusion. All he need probably was to be off his high blood medications. Real food. Rest. A rest from booze. And tender loving care.

Hospitals are low tech.  Blood transfusions indeed.  In the 1920s a french scientist and his company is still operation today makes blood substitutes from sea water.  Easy, effective, and always available. How come hospitals here don’t know that?  Maybe that is a business I should get into.  I’m not telling you what the company name is.

My wife and I have been evaluating our children and for the past number of years they have been growing on cooked rice, cooked and raw vegetables, raw fruit and some cooked fish does not seem to be working for them. Why do I say this? They’re smaller than their cousins. Well of course the parents of those cousins are much bigger than us in the first place.  But my 6 year old has some tooth decay and crowding teeth.  Not a good sign.

Now that I’m raw, the menu is getting more raw as the days go by. The children have tried seared beef (raw inside), raw milk, raw egg, raw tuna, raw salmon, , raw dilis, raw tangigue, more raw fruits, more raw vegetables… It’s time I looked at the Paleolithic Diet, the Wai Diet and Weston A Price studies about successful and healthy people. One thing we lack is fat. Raw fat. I ordered raw butter which is ready by Thursday.

I love the feel of the shift coming. It is time I took on lessening the rice from their meals and putting more paleolithic meat on the table. You should have seen my little carnivorous children lap up the seared / raw bloody beef for the first time. I think they liked it much more than raw salmon or raw tuna. Any new raw thing lights up their eyes. Raw organic cow’s milk they had for the first time this morning.

My wife seems to be agreeing with this direction. Tomorrow I hope our cook is back.

I’d like to explore cow tongue, cow bone marrow and bone broth, cow liver… but fresh organic goats are always easier to come by.

I want the kids to try raw goat with vinegar, you know, kinilaw goat. Goat in Manila is always good. Goat is absolutely organic, grass fed, all the time, and freshly killed in the morning or on the spot. I would really like some seared or raw goat liver. But they always sell it with the innards to make soup. I know what I’ll do… I will separate the raw liver from the soup. Put it in the blender and into a bowl. When the soup is served hot, the raw liver is scooped with a serving spoon directly in the soup. Yummy fresh and nutritious. This sounds great just reading this post.

For those who need to know, we are going in the direction of the raw / cooked paleolithic diet. (I’m staying raw, the kids need transitioning so they will eat cooked stuff).   Paleolithic diet is like some fruits + animals.  It is the time before agriculture.  When agriculture came, humans became sickly, short and ugly.  We already banned bread a long time ago.  Recently we banned nightshades: tomatoes, potatoes, eggplants, bell peppers. What will be markedly lessened on the menu will be grains such as rice, peanuts, pasta, pancit. We will be increasing animal fat intake, the good fats, the filling fats, the healing fats.   Oh yes there are healing arts that use raw animal meat and raw animal fats.  In this case we will be healing and growing.

Interesting post at that of course is correct / right. Being right won’t make you popular. Hmmm… somehow yes I know that. I try to find the truth and am satisfied by it I want to tell everybody but nobody wants it. Nobody appreciates it.

I’m one of those few people who stick around mentors who like being right and yes I submit to them because I learn something from them. But I see many more people who don’t like my teachers simply because my teachers insist on being right. That’s what teachers are for. And that is why I’m attracted to them.

I like the health gurus, the authors, the healers… they have to be right… most of the time… because truth, only with truth do you get healing results.

I see most people are stuck in a popularity contest because that is the way commerce goes. It is just business. Money changing hands, money money money. And because hardly anybody is interested in truth, people become diseased, people die. Of course it is too late… but you were popular.

So we attend parties, socialize, mingle, be nice to one another without discuss anything really substantial. How boring.

Maybe that is why I’m a tech guy. An engineer. A computer geek. A hobby healer. A father. Hey, if the computations are WRONG, that thing aint running, that structure aint standing, the sick won’t be healing.

My father in law seems to have it all figured out. He shuts his mouth. He lets his writing do the talking.

I’d better learn to be a politician and a PR consultant. Learn how to deliver what is right to be able to teach people. That is the hope of the world. Be taught the truth in palatable form. The truth in a way that people will like to hear, learn and be healed. Maybe that should be my next goal in life.

How to be right and be popular at the same time.

I have a theory regarding the reason the american indian diabetic in the www.rawfor30days.com program quit. He said so himself and we should accept his words at face value. He said “I’m just about ready to cross over”, meaning, I feel like dying on this diet. “I’m just not used to eating like this.”

Rather his body makeup, his genes, his whole physique is not meant to be vegan. Veganism does not work on everyone. You can’t make an eskimo a vegan and expect him to be healthy. Just as you can’t make all american indians vegans!

I’ve read that american indian ancestors thrived in the american plains taking care of bison and hunting other animals. American indians ate quite a lot of raw fresh meat. When the white men came and slaughtered the bison, the indians had to preserve the dead meat as jerky or some other form, but this was less nutritious and the indians lost strength.

Carol Alt says her doctor did some profiling with her to determine how much animal meat she needs in her diet. I would think the american indian in the raw for 30 days program would have been cured of his diabetes if the raw meat and raw fats approach was used on him. Of course the producers and the tree of life center in arizona has no expertise on raw meat and raw fats.

So I say to you raw foodists to open your mind to adjusting your ways. Yes we need raw foods to heal. But raw food does not just mean purely fruits or purely vegetables or purely animal sources. See what works for you. Listen to your body. Follow your taste buds. If it tastes great raw, and you love it, eat it until you get your fill.

We don’t eat out anymore.  But our food bill is astronomical.  All this raw food exploration is expensive.  I know it doesn’t have to be when we stabilize on it.  But right now exploring, going around, experimenting is expensive.

Saturdays, buying organic vegetables and buying top quality fruits.  Every other day, buying more top quality fruits.  Every 3 days some top quality animal produce like fresh raw beef, fresh raw fish, fresh raw milk, fresh raw eggs.

Sure, rice and some vegetable tops like kamote tops are cheap.  But they are not the ideal human foods.  From a cooked foods point of view they are good enough.  But good enough is not my goal.

I’m looking at healing and looking good in every square centimeter of skin all over my body.  Flawless if you will.

Look.  Zero medical bills for me.  Zero vitamin bills.  Zero supplement bills.  Whatever for?  I buy the top quality fresh raw organic foods already.

I got a tip that bananas are really healthy.  Maybe I should just increase my banana intake and save more money.  Or better, I get healthier and I get better in my web development business so I earn more money and can purchase a wider variety of healthy raw foods.

I attended a big dinner party last night and as expected they had nothing raw to serve. Good thing I ate a lot of raw kinilaw na dilis before going to the party.

They had scotch whiskey, beer, wine, fried peanuts, fried pork skin (chicharon) and all cooked meats and cooked rice.

I asked for the waiter if they had raw fruit juices. He said there was absolutely none.

People were having a grand time getting drunk and singing with the live band. It was a blast of course to be with friends. I just did not see the need why I should sacrifice my health to have a good time and good conversations with friends.

They ask why I’m not drinking alcohol, if it is a health issue, I nod yes. They see me getting slim and ask if I’m getting slimmer because I’ve got a lot of women, I naughtily say yes.

With all the noise happening in the party, it would be a hard stretch to explain that I’m into health and raw food only eating.

I did not eat nor drink a single thing in the party.

I find the time to buy fresh Dilis yesterday afternoon at Farmers Market. Got 2 kilos of fresh Dilis at P 120 / kilo.

At home I watched how our maids did the kilaw. First they tediously gutted the Dilis fish one by one. They had to take off the heads and the stomachs because they said these were bitter. Then roll the Dilis in Lola Conching’s organic coconut vinegar (all coconuts are organic in the Philippines) to remove the lansa or fishy slimy smell, taste and feel. I tasted the vinegar cleaned raw fish, yummy. Then put chopped onions and chopped luya / ginger in it. Then squeezed more than a dozen calamansi on it. Then chopped some fresh sili in it.

All done, ready to serve. I think we put too much sili for the children. Only my 2nd son, the 4 year old was man enough to eat it with that much sili. He did so with water beside his plate. Manang Maring our cook was absent yesterday. Seems we don’t know here secret for her Kinilaw to be child friendly like she did the other night.

I enjoyed it. I loved that much sili.
