After reading all the posts I have to admit, peoples diets is a sensitive subject, kinda like religion or politics.
For me, diet used to be a sensitive matter because I was addicted (unconciously) to sugar highs, especially things that combined sugar + caffeine like Coca Cola. If someone would've told me 2 years ago to stop drinking Coke, without telling me exactly Why, I would've laughed into their face and wave the subject off.
It took me getting seriously ill to get up and research on my own to what's causing my problems.
Now, as much as I know WHY to not cook foods (killing enzymes, denaturing proteins, killing friendly bacteria that mimic a virus, etc), I still have to cook or gently warm some in order to make it palatable to me.
I am what Dr. Peter D'Adamo would consider a 'Super-taster'. I can taste plant toxins immediately, sometimes even still after they've been cooked. The coffee and cacao bean has toxins that I can taste even after boiled to death. Kale and other green, leafy vegetables have toxins that I taste strongly if not at least boiled for 2 minutes. Egg whites if not cooked have an anti-nutrient in them that gives me a reaction in my throat. I had an anaphylactic shock once already, from egg whites...I just have to cook them, and leave the yolk, the most nutritious part raw. I cannot eat ANY nuts in their raw state, that's why I'm limited to chestnuts, which are boiled or roasted anyways, and all is good.
Chicken, Duck, Hens, etc, I heat the outside of the muscle, the area where the skin would be attached, but leave the inside near the bone raw. Reason is because I strip wild duck (from hunting season) ready for the freezer every year, and I found worms/parasites crawling along under the skin, within the slimey tissue of skin and muscle.
So, birds, regardless of what kind, get browned on the outside, regardless of how many enzymes I kill, or how many proteins I denature. I am looking right at the parasite, and I refuse to eat it, sorry.
Pork, for obvious reasons, I cook all the way. I grew up on pork and my grandmother and mother told me to always cook pork fully so I don't get a tapeworm. This wisdom has been passed on from generation to generation and I will follow it til the end of time. Weston Price always said there is much to learn from the 'old ways of eating'...and well this is the ONE thing I am listening to that my recent ancestors have taught me.
Fish, in order to be sold in stores in the US have to be frozen by law to kill parasites...so I was told by some meat guy in Fred Meyer. All fish therefor should be safe to be eaten raw, regardless of quality, so that is what I do. Oysters, I brown because being a 'Super-taster' I throw up from the high amount of salt. It seems to cling to the outside of the oyster, and since it's so delicate to wash under the sink, I throw the thing into a pan with warm butter and the salt taste disappears. Oyster will remain raw inside.

And since I can't do 0 carb, and don't want to always raise my blood sugar with (raw) fruit, I have nothing left but vegetables and those have to be steamed, cooked or boiled for me to consume them, squash is another one of my favorite in fall.
Because of the way I eat and semi-cook, it allows me to take in an extremely large variety of foods.
I like the cellulose broken down because I have severe digestive issues when the fibrous plant matter stays intact. Obstruction, constipation, hard stools, cramps and painful bowel movements.

Many would say, oh just juice them. I can't do that either because of my super taste buds...the salt I have to use to over write the toxic taste is just too great.

I am open for suggestions. I have my reasons for everything I do with foods, but if I'm missing something, or someone could give me more tips or info on anything, I much appreaciate it! :-)

I'm sorry for posting a cooked meal.
I thought the culinary arts was for all meals, cooked, raw, vegan, whatnot.
You can just erase the entire thread, it's cool. Won't post again here since I eat semi-raw only anyways.

Fresh from the farmer I had duck eggs, pastured pork bacon, pumpkin and chestnuts. I thought this makes an awesome breakfast for fall and I have enough food to last me for the next 12 days for breakfast.
Chestnuts are boiled, rest is fried in bone marrow for added fats and minerals.
Chestnuts sure make an excellent snack, too.

Hey Phil,

thanks for the link on that honey, I am going to check my local health food store next time I go there. Forest honey is less sweet and slightly bitter to some taste buds, but in a good way. The best honey I've had in my life was coming from pine forests, that was back in the early 80's in Germany. Sadly, they moved everything down and replanted fast growing leaf trees. Most of the Black Forest is gone, the needle trees (german: Tanne, Fichte und Kiefer, etc) have been replaced with leaf trees (german: Birke, Buche, etc).
It seems really difficult these days to get true forest honey.

The only meat I would avoid eating raw is pork...pastured pork or wild holgs. The pork coming from feedlots is usually tapeworm free because they stand on concrete and indoors.
The tapeworm isn't deadly to humans but can cause a bunch of problems, but only if they grow big enough. Tapeworms usually take several years to become big enough to cause problems. Citric Acid is something they absolutely hate so indulge in citric fruits (tons of it in one sitting over several days (3-4) every year to deworm yourself. Garlic cleans the blood from parasites before they can get to their planned location. So eating raw garlic on a regular basis will keep you worm free.

Btw, that citric acid flush also works well on dogs (if your dog likes fruit like mine). I had a terrier once that hadn't been dewormed for years. I fed him 2 oranges in one sitting and a couple hours later he dropped 3 large tapeworms on the carpet. It was gross but that's how I learned how to deworm dogs naturally...a Vet later on confirmed it.

Someone asked if A1 was really THAT bad...and after watching this video I'd say YES, it is.
Would you want a mutated toxic protein float around in your blood stream and taxing your pancreas over time causing diabetes Type II even though you've been on a primal/paleo, extremely healthy diet your entire life? NO.

A1 is BAD, and this video from Underground Wellness explains it why.
Here is the link   http://undergroundwellness.com/devil-in-the-milk-part-1/

And that is why fish and blubber does me so well and seems to help with the milk craving.

I just saw a video from Underground Wellness that states that A1 milk is the one that has an opioid effect on the brain.
It instantly made me research goats milk since that is what I've been drinking by the gallons per week for the last year and a half. Goats milk seems to be A2, but I think the guy at UW is wrong in stating that only A1 milk (mutated milk proteins) are addictive, because I would've thrown a major fit a year ago if I would'nt get my Quart of milk a day or more.

Nevertheless, my theory is also that growing up on ultra-heated/homogenized 2% A1 milk in Europe is what gave me a 39 year long addiction to milk...and it just carried over to the goats milk. Finally, having filled the nutritional needs that I didn't get when I was born and fed Ersatz milk, I maybe craved the raw milk to fill that need. Either way, I am glad my body and brain are finally working with each other and not against each other...and the weaning off will be quick and easy.

I've never considered a diet high in seafood in the past because of, ya know, mercury, arsenic, other toxins and the whole fish scare coming from CW put the fear in me that fish more than once a month is unhealthy...DOH!
I'm 50% Fin and all this seafood might actually be freakin' good for me!

Thank you all for all this informative advise :-)

Thank you all for the replies.
To Dan,
I have looked into Tinea and other fungal infections and I am not showing any of those signs. Nothing externally indicates that I'd have an infection of any kind. Skin is even toned, clear and smooth. But, I have been eating a ton of fruit (farmers market, seasonal) this year and perhaps my sugar intake was a bit too high, no idea, but I'm definitely cutting down on fruit drastically after this month...bought a bucket of red grapes this morning to last me a week. What can I say, I'm german and grew up near the 70km long Wine Street...can't pass up grapes 

To TylerD:
Thanks for the tip on avoiding Zero Carb. I've tried it for 2 days before and couldn't keep it up, so I guessed it's not for me. When the grapes are gone I will focus on taking in carbs from vegetable sources rather than from fruit.
I have read a lot of your posts and your personal blog etc and am aware of your beef with dairy. It certainly was a lot to think about and finally admitting that maybe I've been feeding an opioid addiction and been making excuses to keep on buying it. My brain wants its drugs but my body is starting to shut down...I think it's time to let dairy go.

Thanks again.

Hi guys,

I just stumbled upon this thread and thought I put in my 2 cents, speaking from my own experience with a raw (almost) all milk diet.
I was born premature and never had mothers milk. I also never had raw milk of any kind. I grew up on Ersatz milk.
Anyways, at the age of 38 I found a raw goats milk farmer that would milk it by hand and give me however much I want to fill my nutritional needs. 
At first I couldn't get enough of this stuff. When I didn't have any or ran short I started to panic, crying, whining and bitching at everyone around me. Raw milk seemed to finally fill that nutritional hole I've been trying to fill with Dark Chocolate, Nut Butters and Raw Honey. Nothing worked but the RAW milk finally did it. ALL cravings for everything else vanished. If I had a carb craving for pie or ice cream, I got myself a cup of raw milk and the cravings and headaches were gone!
I drank 2-3 gallons of whole raw goats milk per week for 1.5 years straight without a break.
I lost 20 lbs because I switched to paleo at the same time, BUT, the flab on my midsection never really got any thinner. Many, many good things happened while drinking raw milk, stronger nails and hair, clean skin, strong teeth...but I can't say 100% that all this is from the raw milk because remember, I switched to Paleo at the same time, so it might've just been the new 'diet'. I also consumed bone marrows, organ meats and bone broths.

1 year and 6 months have passed and I have to say I'm getting slightly sick of milk. I think I had my fill and whatever nutritional hole that was to be filled, is full.
I am currently for the first time of my entire life weaning myself off milk in general...my main reason is 1. I'd like to get my body fat % down and 2. I don't want to worry about the calcium/magnesium ratio anymore.

I have cut down from 2-3 gallons of raw milk to 1/2 a gallon of raw milk over the last 2 weeks and here is what I've observed :
My clouded mental state that I used to get after drinking (this raw) milk is gone. I have no longer the feeling of wanting to take a nap after drinking this milk. It used to make me calm when being slightly angry or having anxiety over something...I don't need to be medicated with milk anymore to deal with stress. The fact that I don't feel tired and exhausted or lazy, sluggish all the time drinking raw milk has given me a boost of energy or motivation to get up and do things. I've noticed I have slightly less mood swings, I am the same character with the same mood every day and it takes a lot to get me angry. No more emotional ups and downs.
I no longer suffer from a constant bloated gut that looked like someone blew up a balloon in me. And the biggest improvement was I no longer have a horrible BAD sewer breath after drinking all this milk. My breath seems fresher and the stinky sock breath is gone. Also, my underarm sweat smells much, much cleaner. My body odour has improved a LOT since going paleo/primal but since cutting down to 1/2 a gal. of raw milk per week it's gone down even more. No more bad smell coming from my arm pits at ALL, even when sweating.

I am kind of convinced that there is something other than lactose that I am allergic to. I am not lactose intolerant, I had a test done...but something else might be going on.
After suffering 30 years from digestive problems, hard stools, constipation, cramps and severe outdoor allergies I didn't notice any of the things raw milk might do because ALL my other health problems vanished switching to primal/paleo.

Raw milk has many nutrients that are highly beneficial to us, but I gotta say there is something else going on. After all this time drinking large amounts of raw milk to fill some hole that wasn't filled after birth I am now kind of convinced that mother nature shuts off the milk cravings after about 1.5 - 2 years automatically.
I feel like a baby that finally had its mothers milk and is turning 1.6 years old and is ready for solid food. I now crave tons of fish (inland fish) and steak tartar warmed up in butter and perhaps a raw egg yolk. These would probably be the first foods a baby would eat being weaned off its mothers milk because those foods are soft.
No craving whatsoever for green things. Only soft berries like raspberries every other day or so.

As soon as the goats dry up for the winter I will cut the last remaining bit of raw milk I consume for good and go completely dairy free over fall/winter to observe the effects.

Good Luck everyone
Waldpfad

I am glad you're bringing this up because I thought I was the only 1 that noticed this.
I've been primal for 1.6 years and my skin is tight and hard, not soft and flabby anymore.
Everything tightened up it seems, which is good because I used to be a chronic dislocator !
Finally had my right shoulder fixed, but my left one was still lose. Since going primal that seemed to have fixed itself. Shoulder joint appears tighter and I don't have the feeling anymore that I'm going to dislocate the joint. With that same arm I can now lift heavy things and not feel the joint slide around, ready to give out.
Also, my feet, ankles and hands are tough as heck. I used to have soft, fragile hands and feet. Now my feet feel like the consistency of turkey feet, I'm not kidding, they're tough!
Everything seems to have grown tighter onto bones, including the muscles.
This might sound weird but even my head and face seems tougher...lol.

I ate undercooked pork ribs once and I had the same symptoms. That was when I was still on a SAD diet.
I had food poisoning not from the pork but from the dirty surface the meat was handled on (and probably the person handling it).
