hey there RPD'ers,
Let me begin by saying first to whoever hosts the site and second to those that contribute. Your information is a huge help to newbies such as myself. Now, on to my intro.
A little bit about myself: I'm 22 years old. I live in Hawai`i. Started eating raw meat about two months ago. Reasons for starting are mainly to cure myself of acne and constipation.
Since I was about 13 I had acne. And while I'm not self-conscious about my looks it got me to think "something must be wrong with my health". So my reasoning is that if i can get rid of my acne, as well as the scars it's left behind, then I'll be in good health.
Also, I've been constipated for as long as I can remember. When I say constipation I mean I go number 2 every 2 or 3 days about. One time recently though, I didn't go for an entire week. So I use this as another gauge for my health.
Now, a little bit about my experiences on raw animal food:
The first week, I started eating raw organic ground beef from the store. I was also eating raw broccoli. Instantly, I felt a major improvement. In terms of my skin, by the end of week 1, I noticed that I no longer had dry caked on skin like before. I also noticed that my skin would have these black particles on it, especially in the morning, that could be flaked off. Perhaps it is my body getting rid of something through my skin. The problem was, I was still constipated, with bowel movements sometimes spaced out by 5 days.
The second week, I added raw organic eggs from the store. While I didn't notice a change in constipation, I did notice that eggs gave me an energy boost.
Third week, I started to by my ground beef grass-fed from a local farm. It tastes loads better. At this point i'm eating about 11 pounds of ground beef a week and six eggs daily along with some broccoli.
The fourth week was an interesting week because I started to form these bright red spot on my cheeks right next to my nose. I guess they're pimples, but they feel too itchy to be pimples. So, in response to this I added spirulina to my diet.
In the subsequent weeks, the spirulina didn't really cure me of anything, but did give me a pretty decent boost of energy. My red bumps would kind of come and go in terms of intensity and I still have them right now.
This past week, I think week eight, I decided to ditch the broccoli because whenever I ate the ground beef I felt like I was eating a rock. Stopped eating broccoli and felt better when eating the ground beef. I also, started to eat liver. Ate 3 pounds in place of the 3 pounds of ground beef i would have eaten. No improvement to my skin, in fact I think it may have gotten worse, but I did poop more frequently.
Anyway, that's about it. One last thing I should mention is that on the weekends, fridays typically, I may go out and drink. This may be hindering my ability to heal. Or the red spots may be from a detox of my gallivanting on the weekends. Also, liver seems to be the only organ I can find where I live. What are your feelings about eating too much liver? Is there an upper limit? Thanks for reading this if you made it this far.
