Hi Kirt, >>Ellie said: >>Of course it is too soon for statistics with >>Instinctive eaters who eat raw animal fat--there are not that many of >>us--but the evidence is beginning to mount. >Kirt: >Yeah, it is. Death from cancer, life threatening viral and bacterial >infections, pedaphilia acting-out, obsession with food and purity, etc. If >you accept Aajonus' "statistics" why not make up some for instinctos? ;) I try to sum it up: Cancer: 1 case known (Burger's wife) Infections: 3 or 4 cases known (Malaria) Pedaphilia: 1 uncertain case (still neither accused nor judged) known So what's this? Do ya call this statistics? Isolated cases? You must have got something wrong here. Statistics begin, where at least some dozen cases can be presented. And the most important thing: you forgot to mention the dozens and dozens of cases of instinctos which cured themselves from severe diseases and began to live a new life. Your kind of statistics is weird to me. It's the statistics of people who always emphasize the negative aspects. In an earlier post you wrote: >In any case, there is some evidence that cooking fires have been around a >long time, long enough for some adaptation to take place. Yes, "some adaptation". Not complete adaptation. Man, I guess you are eating too much cooked meat now. Maybe your adaptation to this is 5%, i.e. 5% of your food should be cooked meat. You are overdoing it! :-) Ok, I'm testing my adaptation for spending hours in the sun without chemical protection now. It's perfect weather here - no cloud on the sky and I'll go to the so called airport lake. It is deep, clean and there's just one disadvantage: it's situated near the airport so you get to know whenever something is landing or starting. But I like it. Raw instinctive greetings, Stefan
