I just realized that the world has gone nuts. People and Scientists assume humans were meant to eat cooked animal foods.

Being healthy and starting to look buffed on a raw paleolithic diet which involves eating a lot of raw animal food is such a rush. There is that feeling of absolutely glowing health I’ve never felt before in my entire life. It’s like hello, where have you been all this time? I just realized before my venture into a raw paleolithic diet that I had been operating, living my life sub-optimally.

Yo friends and relatives, I’m wearing hunk type t-shirts, with the short sleeves… and wearing skinny jeans because it is the in-thing. I don’t have asthma, I don’t have mitral valve prolapse, I don’t have cystic acne, I don’t have folliculitis, I’m not obese, I’m stronger, I don’t get colds, or fevers, or flu, I don’t have heart palpitations, I don’t have white hair, I don’t have eczema… I have none of those, and I don’t miss them one bit.

I just realized I eat quite a good amount of raw meat… and it makes me healthy. I just realized our current culture is a bizarro world… like the Superman comics where everything promoted is upside down… all concepts of health are upside down. Let’s just concentrate on the culture of cooking all your animal food. Most people, including so-called charlatan scientists actually believe humans were born to eat cooked food, cooked animal meats. And just whatever form of cooking is fair game, that eating raw meat is un-healthy. These days I realized that eating cooked meat all the time is not a big conspiracy… it is just plain taught stupidity.

The thing is, the difference between raw meat and cooked meat must be recognized as a wide chasm of a difference. An egg is oozing and liquid, boil it and it becomes solid… everything about it is different… the once organic healthy material is gradually and surely decomposed back to inorganic material that does you no good. And people wonder why they are sick? Man, you eat cooked meat every freaking day…. you will be sick.

One question in the raw paleo forum was that since most of us were eating large quantities of raw animal foods, how come we avoid the nasty side effects of the COOKED Atkins diet? The magic is in RAW MEAT, RAW ANIMAL PROTEIN, RAW ANIMAL FAT. Cooked Atkins is high in cooked animal food – probably its author never imagined that animal food must be eaten RAW. Cooked animal food, even high fat cooked will be detrimental to your health. All the good stuff in the raw animal are missing when it is cooked… the blood, the raw muscles, the raw fats, the raw organs… the traces of rawness are all that’s left. And with most of my countrymen these days, they are scared stiff at seeing any red or blood in their cooked meats… people have gone insane, and they don’t know it.

Scientists have gone insane because they were born and raised to eat animal food cooked and everything they write about animal food is from a cooked point of view. Even their studies are all idiotic because they assume that animal food is cooked.

This raw animal food eating movement must be ignited. Wake the people up to a new and healthy paradigm. Raw animal food is the super nutritious foods raw vegans have always been searching for… they are just blinded by their new age dogma against killing animals for food. Look, we did not invent the rules of life. It is just the way it is. Humans are true raw omnivores. Cooking is a crutch to lean on in hard times… and you live sub-optimally… if you want to be the best that you can be, it’s time you ate organic, ocean, grass fed raw animal foods. Stop the cooked meat insanity. Begin with yourself and your family.

Do I eat salt with my meals on a raw paleolithic diet?

by

This question was asked in the Raw Paleo Forum: Do you liberally use salt or do you follow Loren Cordain’s advice and stay away from it? Experienced any benefits from adding it to food (better digestion, etc)?

This was my answer.

For the past 1+ year I’ve been eating raw paleo with zero salt. I drink coconuts and get hydration from fruits. I actually don’t look for salt.

2 weeks ago when my son went for a checkup with a new doctor who is a raw weston price dieter, he recommended salt to my boy. My boy is a cooked food eater, he eats some raw meat with me.

So here I am the parent who needs to try out this salt thing because the doctor ordered it on my boy. I noticed the past 1 week I did a lot of salt on my meat, I didn’t enjoy it. It felt like work and I felt blah. I can handle “some” minute quantities of salt, but not a lot of it. I did try lemons + salt on my oysters and that combination tastes good. But when I dip my oysters in vinegar, I don’t like salt on it.

When I do partake in cooked meat, I think the salt helps somewhat. But when the meat is fully raw it seems really strange to put salt in it. I tried a salt rub on beef one time and I totally did not like it. My little girl likes dipping raw beef in the pools of blood that collect on the plate.

My theory is if you eat bloody meat and hydrating fruits, you get fully hydrated. If you must drink plain water, then you need salt with it because plain water is badly utilized. If I’m forced to drink water I squeeze lemon or calamansi and probably add raw honey to make juice.

See the Water Cure website to measure the amount of salt you need with the amount of plain water you drink. This is for water drinkers. http://www.watercure2.org/

For non-water drinkers like myself and barefoot and charlotte gerson, maybe we don’t need salt. But I’m open to adjust. Maybe there is a combination of eating that requires salt and a combination of eating that does not need salt.

I did not notice any improvement in digestion when I add salt. I did notice I can eat more raw meat when I add a little salt.

How I sticked to my raw paleolithic diet at my brother’s wedding

by

I’m so happy for my brother and his wife they finally got married.  Yes, the same brother who almost died of extreme psoriasis 2 years ago as documented in www.eczemacure.info got married yesterday.  The reception was a buffet lunch.  I sat at the vip table to be served by waiters.  This is how I kept my raw paleolithic diet despite being in a social occassion.

I scanned the food early on.  I found ox tongue.  That would represent a cooked paleolithic food.  Then I saw waiters frying blue marlin soaked in soy sauce and a separate lemon butter sauce.  The raw blue marlin would serve as a raw paleolithic meal.  Blue marlin is a big wild ocean fish.  So as not to freak out my seat mates, I had the waiter sear each side of the sliced blue marline for 5 seconds each side.  I got 3 big slices and took it to my table in front of my seat.  Reserved for me.  A few minutes later all the fish had been fried / cauterized to the liking of normal folk.

So there I was at the VIP table first accepting some soup from the waiter, tasting 1 spoonful only for graces, then waving away the next waves of food being offered, just accepting some ox tongue, then digging in to my main meal which was lightly seared blue marlin fish.  No tummy aches, no feeling bad due to toxins.  The meal was good enough.

Being in a social occassion does not mean I have to sacrifice myself to conform with the herd.  You can make choices.  If someone asks, tell them you are on a special diet for health reasons.  They won’t mind.

As a side note, I got my kids their lunch and I got them plain rice, ox tongue and blue marlin.  That was what I judged as paleolithic enough.  My kids are still rice addicts but I didn’t give them much rice this time.

Our family vacation in Natural, Pristine, Primitive, Isolated, Last Frontier Palawan

by

The whole family went on vacation in Palawan for 5 days.  We stayed in the town of Aborlan in an educational organic farm.  Although we had visited this place once last year in December, we did not sleep over in the farm then.  This time we spent 4 nights there.  We went to 2 beaches.  We went to fresh water falls.  And the best part was the eating.  Being the last frontier of the Philippines, Palawan is a haven for us raw paleolithic diet practitioners.

My first stop was to visit the big wet market in Puerto Princesa city.  I chanced upon live ocean shrimp, sea weed and sea urchin already cleaned up in easy to eat plastic bags… I wanted some vinegar and most vinegars sold were organic natural tuba vinegar… from coconuts… just 6 pesos for a small bottle. (In my Marikina city market, there are ZERO organic vinegars available… just factory made chemical vinegar.)  We arrived at a restaurant my wife fancies and on our arrival I had my fresh from the market stuff.  The waiter instinctively knew what to do.  He did not ask me at all how I wanted my shrimps to be cooked… he merely asked me if I wanted my shrimps to be shelled… and the kitchen did, making a nice raw presentation of the raw shrimps with some slices of cucumber for beauty.  So the restaurant people appreciate fresh raw animal foods… because it is natural for them to eat fresh raw ocean catches.

In the organic farm, they had abundant organic, sweet and healthy papaya boosted by a sack full of cow dung upon planting.  And Palawan has its own fruits which are all organic by default, organic by neglect, because this is the last frontier.  There were guyabanos, bananas, balimbings, singkamas, etc.

In the Aborlan town Saturday and Sunday market were more freshly caught ocean food that we raw foodists will absolutely adore.  The people here are of the mindset that fresh sea food means no ice, if you have to put ice in it, it is no longer fresh.  I got live clams, live freshwater crabs (alimango), live ocean crabs (alimasag), fresh ocean tiger prawns / shrimps, never frozen blue fin tuna and many others I couldn’t stuff myself any more. All so fresh… all so good raw… tummy is happy.  In the sunday market I even got a chance to buy freshly slaughtered Palawan grown beef… good bone marrow… good sirloin… tasted like ham.

The more exotic things I tried there was the raw sea cucumber and the tamiluk.  Sea cucumber needed better cleaning, we didn’t know much how to do it.  But the tamiluk, our driver was an avid fan.  He had been eating tamiluk since 5 years old.  His wife is a fan too.  Tamiluk can be found in the market or in the highway.  Tamiluk are BIG WORMS that grow in the big dead mangrove trees.  Our driver says the dead mangrove trunks are chopped open, revealing the tamiluk inside.  The tamiluk is a foot long and less than an inch in diameter and has a hard shell for the head.  Our driver says the best part is the dark part… like the innards.  Contrary to the common city folk perception that the tamiluk worm may look slimy and may taste like intestines, it is not.  It is truly tasty, one of the best tastes around.  The dark part reminds of eating chocnut.  Tamiluk was so good we were looking for more after the first batch… and we were rewarded the morning before our flight.  You eat tamiluk either plain or with some vinegar.

Of course there is the clean air, the peace of mind, the relaxing environment.  The sights where there are lots of mangrove forests… which gives the supply of tamiluk.  The smell of a Philippine skunk… pantut… not bad, just unique smell.  There were gigantic bats that flew high up, slow flapping wings, reminds me of the movie Jurassic park.

At the corporate Christmas party there were the fantastic dancing talents from Palawan state university.  Awesome.  They danced different styles, you have to see the videos.

Now that I’m on raw paleo diet I have a better appreciation of nature.  Living, eating in the last frontier… in the natural setting… in Palawan is so cheap, easy and nutritious.  The coastal people I met had almost no need for money… they eat off the land.  I met a guy by the sea shore and he was picking shells for food.  He handed me one, I broke it open and ate the live creature inside… yummy.

Here are some pictures of food in Palawan.

Small Raw Fish should be Eaten Whole

by

Lately I have been lucky at the nearby wet market to come across very fresh dilis (small, anchovy like fish). These small fish deserve to be eaten whole merely dipped for a few minutes in organic coconut vinegar or by adding some small slices of ginger and onions, a dish we call “kinilaw”.

Kinilaw na dilis“Kinilaw” means “kinain ng hilaw” or “eaten raw”.  It is chemically cooked, really.  You let the organic coconut vinegar, in our case, Lola Conching’s Vinegar turn the dilis fish from transparent to a little white.  Then you will know the fish is ready to eat.  This takes around 5 to 10 minutes.  Some people add lots of calamansi, a philippine citrus which acts like a lemon, but tastes better.

So at the meal I just photographed, our cook prepared a batch of dilis where she painstakingly removed the head and the bones so all you have left is meat.  And I asked for another batch which just used the whole fish.  I tasted both batches.  Guess which got scraped, finished off to the last fish?  The batch with the whole fish, eaten with bones and head!  I just found the tummy bitter to I remove the tummy intestines before I eat the fish though.

In my view, the batch without the head and the fish bones taste too acidic.  It’s like I can’t eat more than a few bites of them.  The dilis fish without the head and bones seems unbalanced.  But with the fish head and the bones, it had just the right crunch, and I could eat a lot of it, yummy.

My mother in law says it is because of the calcium in the bones.  I also think it could be that much fish fat and bones are also in the head.  Maybe this is what Dr. Hulda Clark is saying when Weston Price observed the healthy tribes living beside the sea had almost perfect teeth because of eating a lot of organic calcium from fish.  This is how you eat calcium from the fish, eat small fish whole!  What a great discovery.
