I imagine most people here, are here because they had some form of health problems. I read tylers testimonial thing and a lot of it coincided with what my wife was going through re. adrenal burnout/thyroid problems.  She has been eating a pretty much raw zero carb diet for about 10 months now and while things are miles above what they were she still has a lot of problems.  Low energy is still pretty common even though she has way more energy than before, Dizzyness and lightheadedness is another common problem, like at least a few dizzy spells every day. I imagine it has something to do with blood pressure.  Those are the two major things that we are wondering about and if anybody has had these symptoms (if you have thyroid/adrenal issues im sure you have) and if/how long it took eating raw for these symptoms go to away.

We have used a lot of different suppliments but pretty much the only things we are using right now is Dr. Rons adrenals/thyroid and ive got her to take betaine HCL with her meals to help burn up her food better since she has always had digestive problems that we have tried all kinds of stuff to help but havent found much worked. 

TL:DR; How long did it take eating RAF to heal your body and any ideas on something that we might not be doing that we could?

Does your wife eat organs? Is she stressed - is she getting enough rest, fresh air and movement?

Gnarly rawzi!

I know katelyn/klowcarb has reaped much success following something like 'the warrior diet' protocol (as such) eating 1 large meal in the evening, she said between 5-10pm. I must admit I like this idea, although i would e'r (sp?) on the earlier side of those times, simply because i have it ingrained into be still that going to bed on a full stomach is not a good thing. However thats based on little experience with RZC...yet. Nice idea of finishing a day with your earnt meal, and i do know in that respect I function alot better when I work and have my day and then eat, as opposed to eating and trying to go back to work or whatever it is I'm doing. That said I don't think paleo people would follow any such rules, but, I would think after a succesful hunt with plentiful food, a group would (in my opinion) have certainly relaxed and not jumped straight back into 'work'. After all, what would be the need.

I think your reasoning (eating always the same food can be dangerous) is also true for animal products. They too inevitably accumulate toxins and it is better to vary our toxins intake, whether from plant or animal.

But a plant is grounded to one spot so needs various thorns or toxins etc to defend itself in that way, whereas animals are equiped with speed and agility to outrun they're preditors, that being their defence.

I thought that was the case, although there are probably poisonous animals/insects to eat I' not sure what would be poisonous/toxic in something like wild bison or venison.

there is one called paleoplanet. a bunch of info on archery, pottery and lifestyle in a forum.

I do agree with the above.

Masturbating makes you loose your mojo - which for a procreating being, is very important.

If you do, enjoy it - and don't overdo it or make it something mundane. Sex is of the highest importance for your living body, and must be treated with respect.

One thing, albeit not relevent, is that I have noticed one critical thing to diet is how your eat - not just what. I found that I keep eating, although not really being that hungry, more because I felt i should. Since changing that minor, but significant detail I have noticed a huge difference in my mood, energy, and health.

Mate all the best to you on your travels - come home safe.

(just read the above, I am refering to the quantity of food I suppose, time of day, etc etc. I used to do things like, get home late when all i really wanted to do was sleep, but ended up feasting and wondering why I then wouldnt sleep etc etc. Recently I started listenning more to my body, eating less, and working harder for my food - not being such a glutton, thats 'whats happening' with me old chap )

I was scared to eat scallops uncooked but they were absolutely delicious. It makes a huge difference how fresh. I would love to get a steady supply of venison too, purely because I fantasize about its paleo-ness.

Hearing about michaels son growing up is really exciting. A first hand account of a child eating in such a way from birth is incredbly interesting.

Nope, but I am moving there tomorrow!

Oh really that sounds interesting about staying on the farm, truth be told I was looking to find work on such a farm, which is one reason why I am moving there. In fact I have been buying my meat from a nice farm in Devon too that have a stall at Londons Borough market and they sell under the name 'Wild Beef'. Would this happen to be 'your' farm too?


Oh really Norfolk? I grew up in Suffolk

I guess that makes us either mortal enemies, or friendly neighbours!  (I always much prefered Norwich to Ipswich. I am indeed traitorous!)

even better
