are u writin a book in here raw? haha

hah! Thanks ironman.

We should probably get some sleep now as our friends are probably dozing and have been for some time....

And that is why I respect you man.

I just relayed a biography via YouTube.

Anyway, that is my ramble, thanks for allowing me the stage and being patient-- to whomever is still conscious at this point.

The lack of needing to compensate for the lack of inherent enzymes in the cooking of food is something I experienced when on a raw fruitarian/vegan regimen. I have actually tested how my body feels when consuming cooked foods including cooked meat-- I notice a 'dramatic' difference. It amazes me how people accept this as normal. There is a clear bodily reaction to consuming things that have been heated. The body must deal with the various by-products and lack of inherent enzymes.

I feel very good physically and would have to admit that I feel better than at any point in my life. Digestion has completely healed. I have no sign of IBS. My energy levels are consistent. I now backpack and trail run considerable distance w/o fatigue. I generally sleep 5-8 hours (and at other times I get very little sleep), and feel just fine w/ this level of rest (obviously much energy is relieved from not having to process cooked foods).

This was close to 3 years ago.

I did not begin incorporating meat until I stabilized at this weight. Over the course of a year, after achieving such a weight and considerable strength and redevelopment of muscle (from basically no muscle at all-- I looked like a holocaust victim prior to this), I developed a number of rashes and slight colds (after not being sick for close to 4 years). After each of these colds I felt much better than prior to getting sick.

Over the period of a month and a half I was amazed at the efficacy of such an approach and felt wonderful for finally having regained digestion even if still somewhat sup-optimal.

I continued on with increasing levels of strength and redevelopment of muscle although slow initially. Over many months, putting on close to 10lbs. per month I achieved a weight of 165lbs.

By this point my digestion was decent.
