(Re: Raw eggs/beaten) Are raw meats good for us?

[Guest guest]

Thanks so much for your reply, Bee. I'm struggling with other stuff (non-candida

related) and looking at outside info, it's all so ...conflicting! I like the

Weston A Price site, the only thing that bothers me about them is they recommend

" Really Raw " brand honey when that stuff might be raw but...it is not organic!!!

I was shocked: non organic honey, besides fertilizers, herbicides is also

extracted with chemical solvents. They do have a non pesticide disclosure on the

label, but there's way too many unmentioned chemicals that make the product

questionable at best. Anyway, I do know honey is not for candida dieters, I just

meant by that that their recommendation made me question the validity of their

thinking as to other stuff. Again, there is a ton of conflicting info out there,

we're lucky to have you Bee!

What do you think about a raw meat diet? I'm looking into this as I've heard

many good things. Some recommend raw meat, some recommend *only* raw organ

meats. Do you have any thoughts as to the author Aajonus Vonderplanitz. Good

advice or shun like the plague?

Thanks again!

oxidizes them, in his book The No-Grain Diet, however that is not true. Here's

the Weston A. Price's review of his book, and their comments about that:

them, even scrambled. Beating or whipping eggs does not damage the proteins or

cause the cholesterol to oxidize, as Mercola has suggested. "

splitting the molecules apart, called denaturing, so how can cooking, which also

denatures protein, or whipping them make any difference? The protein molecules

themselves are too small to be broken apart by blending or whipping them anyway.

particles possible, so digestive fluids can get at them better. That is why

liquid and/or blended (pureed) foods are easier to digest, since they are broken

into small particles.
