Yes, I, like most rawpalaeos, have eaten raw meat that's been prefrozen.  It's fine. The only trouble is that prefrozen raw meat is  less tasty than nonfrozen raw meats. Since the cell-membranes get ruptured during the process of freezing, it is best to eat the raw meat as soon as it's been thawed, to avoid rapid nutrient-loss.


Paleophil provided 2 useful links. Other  raw-meat diet forums are RAV-Food, rawpaleodiet and livefood, all of which are yahoo groups, but largely inactive  these days. Best to read as much as you can of the message archives, as they cover all sorts of topics.

Here is a small overview of the science behind raw diets:-

You should also read up about the hygiene hypothesis which focuses on the benefits of bacteria:-
