Welcoming Committee / Hello, everyone! From Brazil.

Hello, everyone. I'm from Brazil. Nice to meet you all!
So, I would use the 'health' section to ask some questions but I think I will do it here since I'm introducing myself. Is that okay? Heh.
1. Okay. I've doing a keto diet + intermittent fasting for about a month now. I'm feeling great and I've lost a lot of weight in a short period of time (which was my objective), but in the last three days I've been experiencing some joint pains, especially in my knee. It's not from training or something like that, it's more like a constant pain in certain times of the day. Might it be a lack of minerals? Intermittent fasting is the problem? Or even the keto diet? I know that a lot of people don't experience these joint pains with keto diet, but I've read that both intermittent fasting and keto diet increases uric acid in the body, being related to arthritis. Is that true? If so, what should I do about it?
2. I've been studying about the raw diet for some months now. But I didn't try any raw meat yet, for example. I would like to try it, but I don't have acess to any grass fed meat and the grain meat here is full of hormones and antibiotics. We have a organic butchery with grass fed meat in my city (which is the only organic butchery in the whole Latin America if I'm not incorrect), but I can't afford to buy only grass fed meat. Even though I live in a big city I thought about raising a sheep in my backyard (I've raised some chickens in the past), but I don't if it would work or if I could at the moment. So, what would you do in my situation? Should I stick with cooking the grain fed meat I have? Or eat raw anyway?
3. This question is related to the second one: why shouldn't I be afraid of hepatitis and parasites in my meat? Why shouldn't I be afraid of salmonella in eggs? I've read a lot of topics in this forum about this subject so far, but I'm still afraid. I mean, I would be afraid of parasites if I raised my own cattle. But buying grain fed meat with antibiotics (that I also don't know how they were handled with transport until it arrives at the butchery) is even worse. Same goes with the eggs from chickens that receive hormones. I also eat a lot of dairy from cows that receive that kind of antiobiotic, should I stick with it?
4. Last question: I saw that Derek Nance promotes the idea of eating whole bones to get minerals. Could I eat the bones from animals that received antibiotics? I've heard that the antiobiotic might "penetrate" the bone and have a higher concentration in that part of the animal, thus, being wise to avoid the bones. Can I eat bones from any animal, like chickens? Also, cooking the bones would also get rid of its minerals? I don't have a slow cooker or something like that.
I'm really sorry for all the questions on a "introduce youself" kind of section hahah.
Thank you.
