Thats crazy man  .
I dont know why thats working bro, but its definetly not raw paleo.

P.s. I cant send u a PM right now since I sent 5 messages this last hour already.
I will reply to your questions as soon as possible.

Sure

I had a conversation between myself and someone, where I was persuaded into eating cooked beef burgers and diet coke, with lots of garlic. I do feel a fool, I guess it shows how desperate I am to try things that might help me. I worry about my sanity a little now  

A very bizarre point is that I actually feel the best I've felt for ages. All my symptoms are very low. Any idea why? Placebo? Caffeine? Coincidence, as they do go up and down anyway? Garlic?

Okay here is a little rant or description of some issues I'm going through, some doubts and confusion about my diet and lifestyle and what kinds of choices I am making. It's a bit crazy and intense but it's where I am right now, and some feedback from this community would be great, because I value some of the opinions here. Here goes..

List of problems:
- Fatigue and tiredness
- Poor libido and some erection problems
- Urological problem: discomfort and burning in pelvic floor area. Over frequent need to urinate. - - - Can be slightly uncomfortable when urinating. Slow flow when urinating.
- Find it hard to empty bowels sometimes, and some discomfort in bowels.
- Depression and tension
- Diagnosed with Aplastic Anaemia / Myelodysplastic Syndrome which means: Blood cell counts (White, platelets, neutrophils, red blood cells) are low.

But they have been improving over last 2 years or so when I have been eating raw 'palaeo' with raw cheese and milk too diet. Though my cell counts are not perfect they are pretty good, and doctor I spoke to recently doesn't seem to think they account for some of the tiredness I feel.

Attemped solutions: meditating as much as I can. Doing my best to relax, and exercising without overdoing it too much. Trying to do more yoga/stretching too.

Diet wise I really don't have a clue. Ginger, Chilli, Dairy, and drinking more than a small amount of fluids in the day seem to make urological problem worse. But then sometimes I doubt if these foods are the culprits when I get symptoms when I've been 'good.'

I have cut out all dairy, but I don't see how I can eat enough calories. I have a fast metabolism and am naturally skinny. I put on weight but now I'm losing it. I lost nearly 10kg, and I've come to a point where I'm almost scared to eat anything because I'm worried it's going to make any of my symptoms worse. I find it hard to eat enough calories and feel weak sometimes when I'm not eating enough. I don't see how to eat enough calories on this diet without dairy etc.

I think I might be eating too much protein, too.

I am half considering giving raw palaeo diet up after so long at this point. It is all so confused. I am sort of trying zero carb atm, even a teaspoon of honey at the moment seems to make my throat feel a bit sore as i eat it, what's with that? Lots of raw fish, some oysters, raw beef.

I feel like it's a mental illness, being this obsessed by food. the way it restricts me, and occupies so much of my thoughts and energy. I feel like maybe fuck it, I should just relax about it and eat whatever.

This probably seems a little crazy, and that's probably because it is. So you are aware I am getting professional medical help for these issues too, but I wanted some opinion from some raw paleo people too.

Thanks

Ever since Iv started working out, my milk intake has skyrocketed and Im loving it. Im doing more than a half gallon a day of goat milk lately. Usually after a workout Ill crave lots of milk and then meat later.

Same for me. I have found milk really beneficial in gaining weight.

Okay I always find Oysters nigh impossible to get hold of. I might make a trip later today to a seaside town that I know has a really nice seafood restaurant that serves oysters. The local fishmonger here doesn't have any at the moment

Aplastic anemia is a disease in which the bone marrow, and the blood stem cells that reside there, are damaged. This causes a deficiency of all three blood cell types: red blood cells (anemia), white blood cells (leukopenia), and platelets (thrombocytopenia).[1][2]

It occurs most commonly in the teens and twenties, and also among the elderly. It can be caused by exposure to chemicals, drugs, radiation, infection, immune disease, and heredity; in about half the cases, the cause is unknown.[1][2]

The definitive diagnosis is by bone marrow biopsy; normal bone marrow has 30-70% blood stem cells, but in aplastic anemia, these cells are mostly gone and replaced by fat.[1][2]

Aplastic anemia is treated with immunosuppressive drugs, typically either anti-lymphocyte globulin or anti-thymocyte globulin, combined with corticosteroids and cyclosporine, with a response rate of about 70%; this indicates that aplastic anemia has an auto-immune component. Stem cell transplant is also used, especially for patients <30 years.[1][2]

from wikipedia.

What part of this definition is true for you?  Are you on these drugs?

Hi, sorry I should have specified more. As the condition can be very serious, I only have a mild case of it that doesn't affect me too severely, but I feel it makes me a little tired, slow to recover from intense exercise and slightly lowers immune function. I'm not on any drugs, have blood tests every few months just to test my cell levels.

In case you care here are some counts, more recent ones seem generally better than they were say 2 years ago. I haven't got any really recent ones.

Sometimes it depends on who your sexual partner is.

How old are you?
How old is your wife?
How long have you been married / in a relationship with her?
How many children do you have?
Have you tried sex with a new girl?

How long have you been on raw paleo diet and how do you look in the mirror?  Do you think you have the physique / look of a lover?

When did this real lack of libido begin?

What's your job? Forms of physical activities?

I have been on raw palaeo over a year. Honestly I think I look good in the mirror. I'm 6' and a little over 200lb of lean muscle, good physique. I lift weights and do a little bit of boxing (casual, hobby). I am a student.

If I'm honest I think it began a long time ago, maybe 2-3 years, though it's really hard to be sure and I think its varied in that time.

Thanks for your time.

And in response to the other I will definitely try and get some oysters

Okay I tried the testicles. Sorry about the bad quality..

Haha, this is so cool. You need a nice shiny new camera so we can have "Inger eating testicles in full glorious HD" (:

Whatever phase I was going through or what was causing my acne at that time has gone away. I'm eating large quantities of honey at the moment (no fruit) and my skin is great. I did take a course of zinc supplement, and of course continued eating raw paleo for all this time.

Perhaps the zinc did help, though I'm sure eating a good raw paleo diet would fix zinc (or other) deficiencies by itself in time too. I believe lamb is a good source of zinc.

This is awesome, thanks so much for sharing. I have often thought about the way I would raise and diet chickens if I were to keep them. At the moment I do not have the land for it, but it is something I would love to do (keep chickens and other animals) in the future.

Thanks much, Jessica. This image from that article makes a mockery of the notion that anything more than a smidgeon of honey now and then is not Paleo.

I will add the Kattunayakans to my growing list of honey peoples.

LOL, amazing. I have been eating a fairly large quantity of honey as a staple food for about six months or longer now.

Wow great research, thanks for all the interesting information Phil

I know from experience that some of the best honey's I've ever gotten hold of (not tree honey) do set very quickly or are already set when I have received them, however.

Haha, this guy has a whole load of videos eating stuff like live scorpions and all kinds of maggots and stuff.
