So many adults doing really well on a high carb, low carbohydrate diet.  But then there are children who obviously seem to need higher amounts of carbs than adults do.  Then there is talk of anabolic states where excess protein leads to growth and the need for carbs so that the body consumes the carbs and lets the proteins do their job of growing the children.

On to diabetes, they say there is adult onset diabetes type II.  That a high fat low carb diet cures easily.  But some people cannot accept this cure because in their minds, a cure is where the former type II diabetic can go back to his youth and eat large quantities of carbohydrates.

But what if just like children up to 6 years of age have the ability to digest cow’s milk and many lose this ability onwards and become lactose intolerant?  Maybe consuming excessive amounts of carbs is a thing of youth used for growth? Putting the body in an anabolic state so that children can grow?

It is then obvious that the dietary requirements at different stages of human life changes.  And that we need to be aware of those that should change as we grow older.

So I found out through my raw dairy experiments that I’m lactose intolerant.  Maybe some people who are type II diabetic have merely grown up to be full adults.  They do not need the excess carbs of youth.  Maybe the diabetic II label is a MIS-LABEL meant to sell medication.  That these full grown adults cannot tolerate excessive carbs is a natural stage in their age, just like lactose intolerance after childhood.  The people are normal!  Not diseased.

What is diseased is the insistence of pushing cheap carbohydrates on normal adults.  Stop calling diabetes type II a disease.  Humans are not supposed to be on high carbohydrate diets at adult hood.  Adult humans may need excess carbs while in athletic days, but not during normal non athletic days.

An interesting forum post by RedFulcrum in the raw paleo forum had me thinking about the next step I should go about regarding my health.  Now that I have health, I want to achieve the next level, bulk up, look like a muscle bound man.  This experiment should be easily achieved using raw protein.

Many anecdotes from raw meat practitioners say they stay muscle bound even if they don’t exercise.  Yes, I have some biceps, but I want larger ones.

Seems like I’m not eating enough.  That my eating 1/2 kilo of meat maximum a day is deficient.

I just consulted with my wife’s cousin who is a body builder. He says the rule of thumb to gain muscle is 1 gram of protein per 1 pound of body weight. So my 125 lbs needs at least 125 grams of protein. If 100 grams of lean sirloin beef = 21 grams of protein. I will need at least 600 grams of lean sirloin beef a day to bulk up. He says eat protein first thing in the morning, then every 3 hours. It’s a worthy experiment for me to do. I will gun for 1 kilo of lean beef equivalent a day. In the mix I could use raw tuna as it is easier to digest I can do the every 3 hour eating. small fish with guts and oysters are cheap, I’ll try to get duck eggs again.

1 kilo of beef is around P 300 / kilo or something like $ 6.50 cents a day for you guys in the USA.

I will try to start tomorrow.

What I learned about the body building thing is that they all find real meat expensive and bulky.  So many of them resort to those whey proteins which are cheap, convenient and compact.  Of course this is not my cup of tea.

Of course I will still consume raw fat in small enough amounts to avoid rabbit starvation.  I can see that indeed I can consume a lot of lean meat if I eat less raw fat.

The big deal here is that this experiment will involve raw animal protein, not cooked.  If indeed raw protein is superior to cooked protein, I should be able to gain muscle easily.  Let’s see.

I chanced upon another premium specimen of T-Bone beef at Farmers Market in Cubao. Should have been a lot more but I gave a quarter of this meat to my brother. We had this for lunch yesterday at the market never frozen. Asked the butcher to make into sashimi around 1/2 kilo for the two of us to consume for lunch.

I also like this beef when it is in the chiller portion of the refrigerator, that in between space between the freezer and the refrigerator compartments. This had blood collect in it for 1 day. Good 1/4 cup of it. The fat coming in from the cold like this is creamy butter, actually tastier than the Anchor butter that is available to me.

I took pictures of this raw beef “striploin” part to show you how much raw yellow fat there is on this meat. We call this live fat. “Buhay”. Unlike the fat around the kidneys which does not taste good we call “Tulog” or asleep… that doesn’t taste good. But I think the fat around the kidneys is what people use to render into pemmican? Help me out paleo friends…

Can you guys tell me what % fat this is by calories? By volume? I never did “get” those measurements right. I like relying on my taste buds at the moment. Like instinct.

I did not consume all of this in one sitting. Usually 1 pound or more is a good amount for me at a major meal like lunch or dinner.

Have you tried any form of colon cleansing? Have you tried colonics / colon hydrotherapy? Or even better, those colon cleansers like Colosan or Oxypowder or Dr. Tam’s Miracle Tea? Did you know that colon constipation is the top cause of diseases? Did you know you can graduate… advance your health to a higher level where you do not need any colon cleansing aids for years and years?

I’ve done it. From a sluggish colon to an active colon that works daily in the mornings. This is how I did it.

My first encounter with detoxing the colon was with colon hydrotherapy. Expensive full 5 course session costing 15,000 pesos. When we discovered Dr. Tam’s Miracle Tea, at 1,500 pesos per bottle I now can vouch that it is more powerful and more effective than colon hydrotherapy… cheaper too.

Then I enrolled in Barefoot Herbalist MH’s school and he said that Dr. Christopher’s Lower Bowel Balance capsules re-trained people’s colon so that it restored the colon muscles. I took these LBBs for 2 months and yes it did do that job.

I then learned through my fruitarian experience that my colon moved effortlessly. Then I learned through raw paleo diet that raw fat moves bowels also effortlessly but which was better was my stools were now solid and moving.

Then I learned about optimal sitting. That squatting was the nature prescribed way of pooping. Unfortunately I grew up in Manila with toilet bowls so I adjusted my pooping style by sitting as if squatting at the edge and sometimes twisting my body.

I learned that if I had enough hydration in my body with hydrating fruits and lots of raw fat in a high fat low carb raw paleo diet, I moved my colon effortlessly. I learned that if I ate on schedule, my body could be trained to poop on cue.

Every morning we would have some hydrating fruit like watermelons, melons or papayas. I do not choose sugar bomb fruits. These hydrating fruit also cause me to move. The pressure built up around 6:30am allows me to move my bowels a bit later or even later in the morning at the office.

Then I learned that I should learn to move my bowels wherever whenever. No more queasiness that I should only move at home. Where was pooping home? Everywhere and anywhere. Learn how to poop in the office, get a good toilet seat. See to it I have toilet paper in my pack, my office, my car. That I can just push down my pants and boom, learn to wipe with just toilet paper if a water dipper is not available. No sweat.

Daily relief is such a great feeling. Always clean.

The 108 year old health guy at Age Less Live More says his #1 most important tip is to keep the colon moving. Those colonics and herbal colon cleansers are not natural and not without any possible side effects. So the less we depend on them, the better.

I am glad to be on a raw paleo diet so now I am above the fray of colon cleansing tools. Not that I am dismissing them altogether now, I will use them in the future when the time comes that I will need them… but not now and not in the near future.

Good luck with your cleanses. You will graduate soon enough when you learn enough about your own body and what makes you tick.
