Now that a found a great source for organs i dont crave fruits at all anymore. I used to eat lots of fruit and now i sometimes go days without eating any plants. I think they satisfy my carb needs much better than plants. I really feel better than ever now that I eat over a pound of organs a day on most days. Most of my meat is now organ meat and I feel like they should be the key part of everyones diet.
The only plants i really eat now a days are celery juice and fermented stuff like kimchi or jalapeno sauerkraut or hot sauce.
Now im basically half meat and half dairy with eggs and honey too. and very little plants and it feels so perfect.
this is the first time inmy life iv eaten lots of organs consistently and its really made things fall into place.

Cool! I know organ meat is very powerful.
-
what organs are you eating?
-

Pigs are omnivores, so they aren't eating just acorns, roots, etc. They're eating rodents, amphibians and reptiles if they can find them, insects, all sorts of things. Pigs carry a lot of parasites, including some (tapeworms, a few large nematodes, others) that tend to become pathogenic in people. We don't have the history with pigs that we have with grazing animals that has allowed us to adapt to many of their parasites so they don't become pathogenic.
Read about a serious condition called cysticercosis, as an example: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cysticercosis (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cysticercosis)

I only ate pork once, while eating a mainly SADiet. Only one raw meal per day. I think the pork was frozen, otherwise I likely would've developed symptoms. A lot of pork in the U.S. is prefrozen to kill parasites. This was months ago, like July. I got tested for parasites and it came back negative.

dont be such a baby. russians have been eating salo, or raw pork fat for a very long time with no problems. Even russians in america eat raw pork fat from crappy industrial farmed animals without getting parasites. I think its jsut great that they eat rodents amphibians and insects. chickens do the same thing...the healthy ones at least :)
what do you mean we dont have the same history with pigs? as far as I know pig farming goes back 13thousand years while cow farming goes back 10thousand.
i think theres a lot of religious nonsense surrounding pork.
also we need to move my post and the last two before me to the pig organs thread where I believe eric meant to post.

Russians and other Eastern Europeans eat raw pork FAT, not organs or muscle meat. Parasites don't generally settle in fat, and none of the ones that afflict pigs settle in fat, as far as I know.
As far as religious nonsense surrounding pork, yes, I definitely hear you.

what cherimoya said!
i am leery of pig organs only because my pigs had liver flukes and they were out in the middle of an organic farm. we slopped them food we ate which was all organic, majority from the farm, and they ate tons of scraps from the farm and orchard. i even made a point to bring them tons of greens each day, they lived with chickens that ate nothing but farm scraps and some scratch grains. i have no idea where they got em from but they seem to be particularly susceptible. i never got to eat any of their muscle meat but i would have cooked it, i only watched them get slaughtered and cleaned and left the farm before they came back from the butcher.

All these organic foods and scraps were raw and unheated? Nobody cooked food at this farm?
