I started eating RAF in Dec 1995. I had been a raw food vegan for most of the
previous ten years. Initially it was very healing and cleansing but by the end
of 1995 I had begun to feel that I was not doing as well as I had been. I went
first to raw tuna Once a week and then after meeting Aajonus Vonderplanitz in
Feb 1997, I started eating raw red meat. It was a major change for me. I gained
about twenty pounds of muscle very quickly and knew by the way my body felt that
eating RAF was much better for me. I had all the usual worries about parasites
and bacteria but soon got over them. I usually am able to get meat from animals
that were raised without antibiotics or hormones and sometimes exclusively grass
fed. My current diet is about 90% RAF with some greens (mostly lettuce) and
occasional fruit. Every month or so I am able to get grass fed buffalo organ
meat. Right now I have heart, liver, lung, kidney, spleen, thyroid, pancreas and
marrow bones. i have also had brain, adrenals, ovary and testicle. I sometimes
eat raw dairy but this is a small part of my diet currently. I only eat
commercial RAF occasionally when I am out. After doing it this long, I don't
worry about toxins accumulating in the animal foods that I eat. It appears that
we are biologically adapted to consuming raw animal foods. One nice thing about
eating RAF is that I am much stronger now that I have ever been on any otherway
of eating.
