I had my first raw beef liver a few weeks ago and didn't really end up having any trouble, but I had been looking some stuff up on this just in case. I saw a youtube of someone showing how to eat raw liver without gagging, and they cut it into small chunks, held their nose, wolfed it down quick and I chased with what I think was lemon water. Maybe you could try that? There may have been vinegar or something else involved, but I'm thinking the lemon was what cut it. If you go on youtube and look for how to eat raw liver and not throw up, you should find it. There was a lot of talking you might want to skip through.
GS - I think there's definitely a difference between experienced eaters such as yourself and people just warming up to the idea and trying some new things. There's an oft-quoted thread here for people just starting and how to "get used to" eating raw meat for a reason. Even though someone thinks something may be good for them, even if they actually can SEE that it works for them when eating it (like here), doesn't mean they'll like it right away. This seems like a combination of social conditioning and possibly just the body's wariness of change.
If I was having trouble I'd probably just spike it with some standard spices (salt, pepper, garlic, onion, whatever). It's not something you want to go overboard with, and it certainly is "fooling" your senses, so you'll probably be able to achieve better health without it, but if it gets healthy food in your gut for now, I vote do it.
