Expert: RawPalaeoGuy - 9/17/2008


Question
I am on a diet of raw animal foods for sometime and would have not come this far without you...Thank You!! I remember reading in A.V.'s book, We Want To Live that he has a method of ridding stretch marks ( I think on like page 337 or something)but I do not have my book anymore. Can you tell me how to do it ,or look it up in his book for me,or as a last resort post this inquiry on the raw paleo forum so maybe someone who has We Want to Live can look it up for me. See, I am a model in France and have no access to this info..Please Help!!!

Answer
Someone I talked to also mentioned Aajonus' Primal Facial Cream as being useful. Here's the formula:-

2oz cream
2oz butter
2oz coconut cream
1/4 tsp honey
1/4 tsp royal jelly
1tsp lime
1tsp ginger juice

Follow up to:-
________________________________________________________
I don't have Aajonus' book,all my diet diet books, bar one, have been "lost" by the people I've lent them to. However, here's the following info from various sources:-

"Page 337:

After, bathing, daily massaging coconut oil, peanut oil or olive oil into the thighs, buttocks, hips, abdomen and breasts, reduces or eliminates the formation of stretch marks.  Wipe off excess after after 15-20 minutes."

Also, this from the Primal Diet yahoo group:-

"Pg 262 -- both these remedies said to "help" "gradually" -- Internally: raw meat, raw fat like avocados, raw cream & stone-pressed olive oil. Externally: rub "vigorously" 2T raw papaya, 1T olive oil once a week. Wipe off excess after 15-20 minutes."

Expertise

I can answer most questions on Raw Animal and Vegetable Food Diets such as the Primal Diet, an organic, raw-meat-based diet and a number of similiar all-raw or partially raw Paleolithic diets, such as the Instincto, Weston-Price, Neanderthin, Paleo and Stefansson Diets. Can also offer advice on how to resist social pressure to eat cooked foods etc. For further info on Raw-Animal-Food diets, it's a good idea to browse through GoodSamaritan's website, http://www.rawpaleodiet.com/ , and also to join the following two forums and read their message-archives :- rawpaleoforum.com and http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/rawpaleodiet/

Experience

I have been 8 years on a 99%+ raw version of the Palaeolithic Diet and experienced numerous health benefits as a result, being fully recovered from my previous symptoms from my cooked-food days. My own individualised raw, paleolithic diet routine is mostly based on Aajonus Vonderplanitz's Primal Diet(ie 99% raw, usage of "high-meat",no processed supplements, using primarily naturally-reared, organic or wild sources of raw foods) but, for personal reasons, I have also been, to some extent, influenced by ideas from:- Instincto(ie:- taste/instinct,no raw dairy/no raw veggie juice), Weston-Price(eg: preferring grassfed meat to grainfed meat, incorporating a wide variety of raw organ-meats into my diet along with the usual muscle-meats, and Vilhjalmur Stefansson(high-fat diet, pretty high proportion of (raw) animal food), but also eating some raw carbohydrates such as raw organic/wild fruit/veg/honeycomb etc.). I'm also a firm believer in the feast-and-famine idea (ie Intermittent Fasting) as regards boosting one's energy levels, and giving my body a rest from constant digestion.

Education/Credentials
No nutritional qualification(I don't believe in standard(misguided) nutritionist doctrine, so I don't feel the need). I simply rely on mine and many others' long-term experiences of raw, palaeolithic diets and I've read most of the books that are vaguely relevant to a raw-meat diet.
