General Discussion / Re: What brought you to a Raw Paleo Diet?
« on: March 15, 2011, 05:27:12 am »
Hi,
I started raw paleo almost 3 weeks ago. Prior to this diet I was a vegetarian for couple of years and primal dieter for 6.5 years. Primal diet was probably the closest to what I'm eating right now, because vegetarian diet, that I was on, was cooked. The reason why I was still searching for a different diet was beacause primal diet did not bring the complete healing I was expecting. I ran into a wise certified dietician who recommended going dairy free, and I didn't want to do that at first as primal diet is heavy dependent on dairy. I felt like I would be deprived of something very good for my body. I started searching the web and found a lot of good articles that talk about how harmful dairy is, and it doesn't matter if it's raw or pasteurized - it's not health bringing. Well, it turned out that this "miracle" food was stopping my body from the whole healing process. Right after I got rid of all dairy in my diet, true healing started. The main reason why I was trying all those diets was to find a cure for asthma, allergies and sinus problems that I had for most of my life. Right now I'm inhaler free and don't have to fight for another breath. My lungs are getting healthier every day. I'm hoping my sinuses are going to be next.

I have this "fake leather" smell that bothers me from time to time. I can never tell where it's coming from though. It's very annoying.

As for time needed for recovery, it all depends. Most RVAFers state that a full recovery from very serious illness usually takes c.2-3 years, with shorter periods required for less serious health-problems. That's what happened with me, although, admittedly, it took only 4 months after cutting out all raw dairy for me to get rid of a  pretty large proportion of my symptoms of ill-health, initially.

I've been using black seed oil as a supplement for the past 2.5 months, and I don't know if you're familiar with that oil, but when you google it there are a lot articles about it, and they say what prophet Mohammad said that the oil cures all diseases but death. I'm not a big fan of supplements, but that was before raw paleo and I gave it a try. If that contributed to my health - I don't know, or was it just cutting out the dairy, either way I'm happy with the results.

Anyway, I'm glad that you've started finding a solution for your health-problems. The primal diet does work for some people, but so many RVAFers have issues with raw dairy that it causes lots of problems for others.


I can't believe that I trusted in raw dairy so much that I never dared to try to live without it. I would have been drug free six years ago!
Now I've learned the lesson that my body can heal very quickly on the right kind of diet - it doesn't take years to see the results and that is such a joy.

2.What about calcium since there is no fresh squeezed veggie juices?
Eat small fishes with bones, blood, leafy greens, oranges etc.

How do you eat leafy greens - in a salad?

 Re health fats:- What GS said(raw marrow is great - trouble is that there are 2 kinds of raw marrow, one is nice and creamy, and the other tastes like sawdust.

Where do you get raw marrow?, I'm thinking you need to order it online and how do you know you get the creamy kind?

That's what my feelings are too. I would not be happy on cooked paleo  -[ , but it's definitely better for those who eat regular cooked SAD.

I ran out of space when writing my post, and I have more questions:

1.How is it that guys like Robb Wolf on cooked paleo also have good health results?
2.What about calcium since there is no fresh squeezed veggie juices?
3.Sesame seeds/flax seeds ok?
4.How about homemade mayo for chicken salad?
5.Homemade coconut milk/almond milk, what else is recommended as far as liquids?
6.Sample meal plan for a day?
7.Raw paleo cookbook?
8.Sweets?

Thanks, that sounds good. It's hard to get a grass fed beef with fat on it though -\

Hi,
I'm new to the RPD (I started 2 weeks ago), and I have some questions that maybe somebody who's been doing the diet for a while can help me with. I've been a primal dieter for 6.5 years, so transition to raw paleo isn't that extreme for me as I was grain free already for a long time, and the only thing I had to ditch was dairy, which isn't something I miss much anyway. Prior to primal diet I was a vegetarian eating cooked meals and A LOT of soy :(( That brought me to ER several times with a horrible colon pain. What is interesting they did hundreds of different scans, tests, X-rays and never asked me once what my diet was like, and it was all soy (soy milk, soy cheese, soy nuts, tofu, etc.), and those "foods" were causing problems. Once I stopped eating them, the pain also stopped.
The reason why I tried all those diets (and primal diet was most extreme so far, now it looks like paleo is a bit more challenging), was because I've been an asthmatic and living on asthma inhalers for the past almost 20 years.
Although getting rid of inhalers and functioning without having to fight for every breath was my never ending dream, I was never able to get rid of the crazy drugs on AV primal diet. When I started paleo and stopped all RAW dairy (including yogurt and butter, which I was most attached to), I've immediately noticed that I don't need the inhaler anymore.
Thanks be to God for showing me, that FOR ME (I don't want to speak for others), there is NO difference between RAW or PASTEURIZED DAIRY, and if I want to be inhaler free, I simply can't have it. My son's plantar warts (very stubborn to remove even when I used ACV on them for 3 months), started disappearing on dairy free diet (he's almost dairy free - sometimes probably cheating when not eating at home), and my daughter's acne is much better (plus I'm trying cooked paleo for them-they would never eat RPD-so grain free is a big help in that matter too).
