I tried accutane in the past, though it failed (in hindsight it's fortunate that it did or I probably would have never found this way of eating). I did clear acne with this diet and the scars are incredibly better since starting. I eat plenty of red meat and Dr Ron's liver capsules so I am getting plenty of zinc and vitamin A which has clearly been extremely beneficial. I still have sun damage though rough skin, freckle spots which improved but perhaps vitamin C might speed up skin healing along with the other vitamins I now am getting. Damage might be too deep and needs lasers or something. I know that vitamin C is used in skin ointments and said to make you less prone to sunburn. Whether its true or not I am not sure but interesting to test.

Sometimes my gums bleed when I am stressed. The adrenals contain vitamin C and excrete vitamin C as part of the stress response. This is why I was looking to get some adrenals for the vitamin C + heal the adrenals from any burnout they probably have. Hard to get fresh grass fed organs in any substantial quantity though, so can only use the dried supplements for the moment.

The trade-off is it adds a lot more sugar than a lime. Pick your poison and how it sits in you.
I've got to admit though; I'd enjoy eating a daily kiwifruit much more than sucking on a lime for the C.
I wouldn't do it though when living in the US; the distance to ship the thing is way beyond a conscionable range IMO. I'd grow and eat some blueberries most of the year.

according to nurtiondata.com 30 calories of lime has 29.1g vitamin c, while 30 calories of kiwifruit has 36.9g vitamin c. All the calories for both lime and kiwifruit is sugars, so it seems kiwifruit can actually provide more vitamin c with less sugar

Good point about the shipping though. I don't like to eat berries. I really don't like eating any fruit with skins (the skins would be pretty impossible to remove on berries).

A lot of ZCers don't eat raw organs and don't complain of vitamin C deficiencies. However, I do eat small amounts of raw organs and shellfish (in which the organs are consumed with everything else), so I can't address it from experience. Shellfish would be another option for you too.

I don't think I have deficiencies but getting some more might help, I know it is said to help damaged skin which I have. Shellfish are an option but not a consistent reliable source I can have each day I think.

I think I might have to try it. I want to try getting more vitamin C and I can't get fresh adrenals and prefer to not eat fruit.

Dr Ron also sells 'buffered vitamin C'. What is that exactly? What's the source?

I don't actually(this must be the 2nd or 3rd time someone's thought this to be the case). GS runs both rawpaleodiet.com and rawpaleoforum(I just own the rawpaleodiet yahoo group), though  I have  contributed some of the articles on rawpaleodiet.com.Perhaps GS should mention that he's the one in charge of rawpaleodiet.com.

oops did not know that...well thanks to GS for that. You post and contribute a lot to the forum which is why I thought you ran it plus people saying they found the website through the yahoo group.

do you have raw animal fats? It would be good to eat fat with the organs or steaks to not get too much protein.

Try to keep foods separate example fruits and juice in the morning, meat for lunch and dinner.

I've fasted before eating nothing but suet. Eating any protein or carbohydrates breaks the fasted feeling, eating just fat keeps that 'fasted' state the most, probably because it effects blood sugar the least.

I like the one meal a day, that's the fundamental part of the diet and I think he's right about that

I do not follow any of his other advice, I think it's poor. The diet as written is very bad for digestion. Eating an entire days worth of carbs and an entire days worth of protein at the same time will create flatulence like you have never experienced.

Ori also has a number of unsubstantiated claims. Firstly the whole calories don't matter claim, he says we can't eat red meat because of the bacteria in it and something about as soon as an animal is dead proteins mutate, thinks we are designed to be mainly vegetarian, believes animal fat is terrible and full of toxins (even grass fed and organic) and constantly pushes the idea that humans evolved to eat nuts and seeds as their main food.

Wow this guy is really something. Making it seem like it's unnatural to eat meat with complete ignorance. I read a comment on his website saying something like 'what toddler would choose to eat raw meat?'. Well just off the top of my head Inuit, American Indians, Australian Aborigines, African tribes and native northern Russians ate raw meat from birth. How many peoples have chose to eat nothing but fruit/vegetables? That's right - none.

   Which cold blooded animals?  Some cold blooded animals don't do well in cold climates and die.  Which ones are you thinking of?  Don't most cold blooded animals live in warm climates?  Do you mean fish?

which cold blooded animals are you thinking of?
They may die if the temperature is too cold for them to survive, but if it's tolerable than they live longer. Much longer.

I think if anything a cold climate would make you live longer since it would slightly lower body temperature. In cold blooded animals where body temperature is not regulated much, the same animal living in cold climates can live 500% longer. In warm blooded animals like humans, the body temperature doesn't change as much with climate or death occurs, so effect no so drastic.
