POST UPDATED FALL 2012

Many – if not most – of us did not grow up with organ meats – kidney, heart, liver (well maybe liver) tongue, brain, etc roasted on our dinner plate. Although paleo and Weston Price expound on the benefits of organ meats (the Inuit Indians tossed the lean meat that we eat to the dogs…), I still do not find myself running out and gutting the first ruminant I see and tossing the tenderloin.

Wanna be more successful losing weight?

Then get real. Having foods around that are NOT part of your program - (ANYWHERE in the house or within reach) is tempting fate – or worse yet – tempting your questionable will power (you are over-weight after all, yes?…)

Success going Paleo/Primal to lose weight (Paleo/Primal diet explained here) is no different than success with any other venture in your life – you must decide, choose your path and put you mind and will to the task! Happily, the wonder of the paleo diet is that, although there are “rules” on what NOT to eat, what you CAN eat is immensely satisfying, delicious, and you really do not have to “count calories”.

Dental Healing with Paleo/Primal Diet Plus

by Ravi – UPDATED/REVISED FALL 2012

Many of us are conceptually incarcerated by decades of indoctrination to modern dentistry’s revival-tent calls to sit in the dentist chair and “be healed” (and forfeit big bucks doing so). Dental “care”, dental products and dentifrices are a huge, 100′s of millions of dollars a year business. We’ve been led to believe – like in so many other areas of our lives, that we need holy professionals, in this case the “dental care priests” to pray over us with their high-speed drills in order to keep our teeth past childhood.

It seems inconceivable to learn that, in fact,

our teeth CAN HEAL THEMSELVES!

learn how to NEVER sit in a dentist chair again – and still have great teeth!

I hope you all don’t think badly of me for this post – but I *quite accidentally* (really!!) ended up on a raw vegan gas/flatulence thread in the process of researching about gas caused by too much coconut flour. (My daughter was “symptomatic” after chugging a fresh coconut bread we made…)

But ya know what? Ya just can’t make up stuff as good as the comments I happened upon there! I was (at least momentarily) entertained and thought you might be too…

The basic observation is – if the things you are eating are not being digested properly and causing that much gastic and intestinal distress – would the intelligent person not reconsider the suitability of those particular foods for human consumption?

Seems not—–

So, before I air out my onerous, odorous sense of humor here, I will offer you an alternative to this slightly-sophomoric post – a more serious discussion HERE (
A Raw vegan diet is an unhealthy diet). Although I stand behind the premise of this post – that the very abundance of gastrointestinal disturbance is the biggest hint that you are eating the WRONG foods the WRONG way, if you stay, it’s your better sensibilities you risk…

Our Abused Oceans – Is Seafood Anymore a Choice?

Posted on September 18, 2012 by daiaravi| 2 Comments

My Aberdeen born and bred grandmother (NOT pictured here…) lived to be 96 – and was tiny but in sturdy health till the end. Aberdeen – before the North Sea oil boom, was a sleepy seaside village-town with the most impressive rows and rows of solid granite block houses. My little grannie grew up eating a solid portion of seafood (thus her good health and long life) but for the rest, she ate the odd diet that passed for edible in Great Britain.

But now, in the dark mire of the BP oil spill, shadowing the Exxon Valdiz disaster of several decades ago, what is the state of our catch from the seas?

FALL 2012 UPDATE: Lola’s teeth are strong (at 4.5 years old) and only show the remains of the damage from 3.5 year ago. NO further decay took place and we look forward to seeing her strong and healthy adult teeth erupt in the next couple years!

We now see that stopping grains, keeping sugar consumption VERY low, dropping ALL seed oils replacing them with excellent fats and oils and religiously feeding Lola her much loved “lemon cod-liver oil treats” has done exactly what we learned – STOPPED her toothdecay and allowed her teeth to heal and keep any further decay from happening! (kids love our lemon oil treat recipe at bottom of this post) and PLEASE READ ON from our article January 2011:

We used xylitol as part of our successful protocol – here’s more information about this sweet, helpful sugar-alcohol:

Our research online showed us that other parents have successfully stopped tooth decay in their children’s teeth by radically changing their diet. We were puzzled – what could we do better? Yes, tell me what you did!

You may just want to check out where your rice is coming from.

I’m old enough to remember the shock and awe at the sci-fi flik “Soylent Green” where good ‘ol Chas Heston discovered that the food solution for the over-crowded, polluted and no longer productive earth was to re-process the dead and dying into “Soylent Green” chips – food from the bodies of the dead.

It was truly a “camp” film and it quickly became (and still is) a kind of classic symbol of our over-crowded earth, the stretching of our limited resources by rampant, unthinking over-population. The thing is – back in the 1970′s it was still campy sci-fi. The world population was just clicking over 3 billion and although for those who were paying attention, the red flags were starting to pop up regarding over-population, underproduction of food, crop failures and starvation, most people were complacent and happily ignorant.

If you have not tossed the cola/soda yet – then this post is my effort to get you to do so and do so NOW.

FIRST, we have the study:

“Brain functional magnetic resonance imaging response to glucose and fructose infusions in human.”

published in the journal:

Diabetes, Obesity and Metabolism, Volume 13, Issue 3, pages 229–234, March 2011

which simply states that:

“In normal weight humans, cortical responses to infused glucose are opposite to those of fructose. Differential brain responses to these sugars and their metabolites may provide insight into the neurologic basis for dysregulation of food intake during high dietary fructose intake.”

Re-Mineralizing our Food Supply, Healthy Organic Soil from Scratch

Posted on January 11, 2011 by daiaravi| 3 Comments

If you like our blog, please send it to your friends and sign up for new posts!

A Big Issue Often Ignored

One of the less-discussed but *very* relevant discussions of our food supply is the condition of the soil – both for the plant matter do choose to eat and more important to the lacto-paleo crowd, the plant matter the animals eat who nourish us. Pasture grass-fed is pretty much an *absolute* for those of us who feel that the animal products from ruminants are the most healthy to consume (NO grain fed/finishing). But if their plant food grows on poor soil – what can their bodies be made of (or milk be made of) that we then eat? Ditto on the plants we eat directly.

We’ve built our version of a “solar” greenhouse – for those of you who are now scratching your heads in your mind thinking “aren’t ALL greenhouses SOLAR?” – Well yes of course – but the term “Solar Greenhouse” refers to a specific approach to building, orienting, and, most importantly, equipping a growing greenhouse space with passive heat storage in such a way that it will capture and hold the immense amount of sunlight energy and heat that enters during the day in order to have lots of heat in greenhouse thermal mass storage to release during the cold extended-season nights in early spring and late fall (or even winter, depending on your location).

In a universe with the majority of kids music (and vids and books) so often mealy, poorly constructed, hardly musical tripe (not worth the effort to save them for any kind of posterity), Laurie produces the most fun, musically/lyrically genuine “kindie rock” music available for kids.

SUGAR – “Death, White & Sweet”, or, “I Thought the Hippies Were Nuts”

Posted on September 22, 2012 by daiaravi| 10 Comments

by Ravi

REVISED FALL, 2012

It’s 1975 and I’m in North Country Coop on the West Bank in Minneapolis – a naive pre-med student at UofM. Coop’s were pretty “seedy” back then – roughly tossed together and staffed by the real political anti-establishment animals – called hippies.

“Yea, man – that stuff is WHITE DEATH” barked the bearded, ever-so-slightly odorous co-op worker in his soiled white apron chatting energetically with another shopper. “People just don’t know – white sugar is government trying to dumb us down and manipulate us – just feed ‘em, White Death and you’ve got control!”

“Sheesh,” I though to myself, “what a wacko.” I bought an odd-looking, lumpy cookie, trotted out of the store and took a big bite. “Plaaaaa!” I exclaimed, spitting it out on the sidewalk, the taste being what I imagined a mouthful of peat moss and gravel would offer. Sugar was definitely verboten in that hippi-hollow.
