As a regular consumer of homemade bone meal, I thought I'd chip in and contribute to this thread, even though I'm not strictly raw at the moment (I can't eat more than 200g raw meat without some kidney stress, plus I can't maintain a handsome level of body fat on only meat+fat+organs and fruits - so I choose to cook some vegetables and tubers/roots right now, especially for the added magnesium content, although it's not completely free of problems, I acknowledge).
Anyways, I'd consume bone broth, but frankly, every time I start consuming it, I get severe headaches and strange trance-like spacey consciousness feelings, not to mention insomnia. This phenomena is the death of neurons through over-excitation by the freed glutamic acid in the broth (glutamic acid along with aspartic acid is one of the excitatory neurotransmitters). Some people's brains cannot handle this much free glutamic acid as it crosses the blood brain barrier (either with serious magnesium, B6 etc. deficiency to keep the calcium channel under control into the cell) and I have a tendency towards ADHD, even after maintaining non-cheating rawness for quite some years.
Nevertheless, I currently buy dried bones from a local venison farm, which are very easy to handle (they are bone dry!) and file down with my big horsey rasp. Bone meal does not harm my delicate brain like bone broths, plus I know the minerals are being uptaken because I get calcium-magnesium antagonism cramps when overdosing. The other complication is that my bowel tolerance for magnesium salts is very low, so I can't even complement the bone meal with clay or something because I tend to get loose stools and severe dehydration (I've even gained new wrinkles in my skin from the severity of electrolyte loss effecting the collagen/GAGs losses, so I don't want to f*ck around with magnesium anymore, except as food).
Incidentally, as a means to obtain a source of raw collagen (to fix some wrinkles), I've even tried chewy spinal discs and other tough/spongy parts, but they faithfully produced severe indigestion.
From overdosing on venison thyroid to almost having a stroke from synthetic vitamin K2-mediated blood overcoagulation, not to mention trying bone broths many times after break periods, I can safely say that I'm a pseudo-paleo wreck, who has lost the plot with all healing paradigms.
From palmitic acid-mediated physiological insulin resistance (from high fat meals) to only consuming food-based nutrients, I'm really between the devil and the deep blue sea at the moment in my personal healing (or self-destruction) journey.
