Raw meat vs. Cooked Meat - things are not what they seem

[Guest guest]

Raw meat versus cooked meat - things are not what they seem

In re to the prior post from Live-Food group on raw meat vs cooked

meat, here is 'fresh' new perspective.

People do not crave cooked meat only because they are craving--the-

foods-they-are-detoxing, as claimed in all-raw meat diets. see below.

1) All of the original people who I referred to the prime-all raw

diet 4-6 years ago followed 'all-raw' for some time, until they

started having strong cravings again for cooked meats. All of

those 'original' friends noticed they felt better eating some cooked

meats, rather than all raw and none of them went back to all-raw

(implying that their health did not suffer to an extent that it was

worth it for them to go back to all-raw meats all the time).

2) another friend of mine, went thru long periods of no appetite on

raw meats - he kept trying the raw meats for years because he was

convinced that the lack of appetite was because the raw meats were

pulling toxins out of his body and whatever other theories there are

out there that say that 'gagging is good' or lack of appetite is

detoxing'. when he gave up and started eating cooked meats, he

developed a voracious appetite and no longer goes thru discomfort in

eating and his health is improving.

Exactly what were these toxins? heavy metals?? while most of the

world has some heavy metals in their body, we must look at what is

the concentration and how is it affecting them.

More than one medical intuitive told me that there is a huge

difference between heavy metals that are ruining the body and non-

interfering residues. residues can spot the irises but it doesnt mean

that they are health-ruiners or doomed to health problems. If it were

the case that these metals 'must' be taken out of the body, then

people with those heavy metals should not recover or feel a marked

improvement in their health from eating cooked foods from supposedly

not detoxing anymore, but they do feel better and their health is

improving. Should they go back to eating in a way that was counter-

intuitive for their body and force all those spots out of their eyes

for an ideal many decades down the road?

3) When I queried the live-food group for people who have been on the

prime-all raw diet for a long period of time with success, such as

more than 5 years, I got emails from 2 people who told me they were

doing 'good' and 'fine'. I called them and talked to them and found

out that both of those people had added some cooked meats back into

their diet, one had deleted raw milk and smoothies. They said they

added the cooked meats back in because they craved them and it

helped 'ground' them or otherwise made them feel better. so, they

considered themselves on the prime-all raw diet but did make

significant changes.

I am not saying people don't eat all raw and do well, but the

percentage is probably extremely small, the longer they attempt to

stay all-raw. Is this because they can't handle the detox, or is this

because all the raw foods for so many years can throw a person out of

balance in one way or another. ( these were not people who would eat

cooked because they had succumb to social pressure either)

4) I have not been following the all raw diet to the extent that I

would still be 'detoxing' for over 2 months now AND I have run this

test many times with good results:

According to MY blood chemistry, pork and turkey have nutrients in

them that my body needs much more than fish and chicken and beef.

Although I eat turkey and pork both raw, I also crave them cooked

some times. the times I eat them cooked, it feels better in my body

than raw; other times I feel better eating them raw. Since I am not

detoxing according to the 'all-raw' model, then it is reasonable to

argue that we crave cooked meats because our body sees a benefit.

After all, our bodies intuition improves with all the raw foods

doesnt it? So if their intuition improves and it leads them to eating

cooked meats again, what does that say???

According to blood chemistry, there are benefits to BOTH cooked and

raw. While raw has the enzymes, cooked has a better absorption of

amino acids than raw does. Now many people say this is amino acid

thing is hogwash, but why would so many people who were once 'all

raw' revert back to cooked. Is it because they didn't have the 'guts'

to keep detoxing (again, no pun intended), very doubtful.

Those who say that craving cooked meats is not beneficial whatsoever

(except to stop a detox) and to deny that craving could be misleading

and may be a contributor to why so many people who force themselves

to eat all raw acquire so many 'detox' symptoms. Maybe they arent

detox symptoms at all.

Statements that mixing raw and cooked meats experience leaky

gut could be the case - again, depending on their blood chemistry

background. IF one were to look at all the people who have leaky gut

you probably would find an extremely small percent that eat any raw

meats. If you were to look at all the former all-raw people who added

cooked meats back into their diet - you would probably find a lot of

happier people not as likely to have strange cravings or lack of

appetite. and yes, they still incorporate the benefits of raw

foods to the extent they can.

MORE EXPERIMENTS

I have performed several experiments on my body that will

highlight the fact that people on a prime-all raw diet can acquire

fatigue, bloating, lack of appetite from raw veggie juices, raw milk

and smoothies for reasons other than detox. To good to be true???? -

or- so simple it has be true???

and lastly, don't read this as an attack. I am not saying don't eat

all-raw, eat all-raw to your heart's content like I did for so long.

if and when fatigue, bloating, lack of appetite, continual cravings

or other things start getting in the way - be open minded as to their

cause.

take care

Here's my two cents on this. Number one always remember variety is

the spice of life. All Raw and no cooked makes ny a dull boy.

And vice versa. That being said all of the symptoms you mention,

fatigue, bloating, etc... these are all cardinal signs of poor

breakdown and absorbtion. It is extremely possible if not very

likely that the issue is not the food at all, and is actually the

questionable digestion of the person the food is being put into.

I hope this helps your thought process in some way.
