too bad you didn't measure your blood sugar levels though out the day.  I would have loved to see the results.

fish that far north feed exclusively on a rich food chain starting from plankton growing on some of the most nutrient dense waters in the world.  Most fish in that region have high amounts of fat, and high amounts of omega 3's.  they also ate the entire fish; if you read where they eat them fermented or frozen like popsicles.

does anyone have any source to find the amount of mg. in blood?  I suspect you'll find it there.

I agree about Norht star bison liver.   Simply leave it in the bag for  week in the fridge, then take it out and place it in a bowl in the fridge, turning it over every day or so.  It just gets better each day.  I don't like leaving food in sealed bags too long, for anerobic bacteria might be a problem. 

I just had a long discussion with a woman I have been dating for a couple of months now.   She got rather stern with me and almost accused me of having an addiction, or at least stating that many or most people on 'unique' food quests are.  Her one point that stuck was that somewhere along the line that the person's innate guidance for balance got thrown off.  I have to agree in my case, for in high school I dieted for wrestling and continued for almost a year afterwards.  Then there's my dad who would buy up to 100 dollars of vitamins a week.  This was about 30 years ago, vit. prices were so low then.  I tried to tell her about how well I do with my diet, and also how I have this real fear of hospitals and doctors and will do anything to avoid the both.  And agreed that if there was an addiction it was out of this fear.  But also that I want to have another child, ride horses, mountain bike, snow ski with my daughter and be strong and active for a long while.  I did mention how if she would pay attention that women when they hit 40 (she's 31) go downhill real fast.  Even though she didn't blink, I think she already new this.  But for her, food IS one of her real passions. She loves to cook.   So, even though she listens, I think it barely sinks in.   And then I wonder why I chose her.  Well actually she chose me, another story,  But, there is this appreciation of having someone in my life like her that may help balance the equation, or bring me into a larger social circle and hence the opportunity to experience a greater variance of life....   Also I have never been involved with a lover without having an effect on their food choices.    And I tend to believe that setting an example is really the only way to teach.   
    Food is a biggy,  bigger than most will even be willing to look straight on into long enough to pierce even the thinnest skin.  So if there's any advice, if you think you really care for this guy,  stay conscious and accepting when he eats his peanut butter m&ms.   Probably the only way he'll be able to do the same when you eat that half living thing on your plate.

there's a big big difference in the quality/freshness and fat content of coconuts.  As they mature, their fat content increases.  Young coconuts are almost an entire different specie.  When buying coconuts that have been shipped, my experience is that almost half of them are on their way out in terms of going moldy.  So, be picky and if experimenting,  use only the ones that taste really good and chuck the rest, or as I do give them to your chickens or some other bird in your neighborhood.

  There is a whole foods there, and also  Jimbos, should do for a while.  I'm eating a whole foods NY steak,  which is really good.

GS,, I think the advice I'm writing here, you gave to someone previously.  that is, that your wife may want to eat one type of protein by itself.  Also you might share with her what she chooses, might help relieve some of the anxiety. 

  I live where lyme disease is everywhere.   you can be sure that deer are heavily exposed to it.  My guess is the weak or those unable to defend against it die off and the strongest go on to breed.   My dogs have been bitten thousands of times, with no apparent symptoms.  they have always been raw, so I suppose somewhat protected.  But back to deer meat.  I would think it would have to have the spirokeets in the blood as they are probably attached onto up to 50 maybe even 100 times a day.  I have pulled up to 60 ticks off each of my dogs in heavy tick season.  They protect my goats on a wild hillside.  I like the advice GS gave, but even then adults can have much more active immunities than children.  I would try to learn more, and not just anectdotal stories.  Lymes is a nasty thing to have to deal with, and if your child is already in a weakened state, not sure where he is at right now, he might not have the resistance. 

  HI,  you can hook up a reostat, like what's used with dimming lights to your slow cooker.  Not very difficult, just spice and rehook some wires with caps.  YOu can buy them at any hardware store.  I did it when I used to make yogurt.  You just play around with the settings with the cooker filled with water to you get the right temp.  Usually overnight per attempt. 

I tend to think the extra vit c from the limes helps with gums, but who knows?   As far as rotting teeth,  I swallow the small amount directly, and rinse immediately.  Small chance.  Basically it's more of an insurance method.  Vit c deteriorates quickly, I imagine even in meats.  Since I don't kill and eat right away, I figure it can't hurt.

 Hey Dwight,  how exciting it is for you to start eating right so young.  Looked briefly at the site,  simply stay with what tastes good from the grass fed offerings.  If convenient you might like to visit their facility.  Never know what you might learn.  Make sure you eat raw grass fed fat along with your meat.  If opposed to eating raw right away, you might try searing your meat for a few seconds on each side. A pan works fine for this.  If attempting raw, make sure it has sat out for a couple of hours to warm up.  Much more palatable that way.  Best of luck.
