About RawPalaeoGuy
Expertise
I can answer most questions on Raw Animal 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, feel free to browse through this website:- http://www.rawpaleodiet.com/

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.

Question
Hello i would like to ask your views on eating raw or rare pork from farmer's markets only, is it safe? There were some websites on the internet stating that undercooked pork can transmit brain parasites to humans which i don't know if its true or not...

Answer
Raw pork is perfectly safe in terms of parasites, anyway. You have to bear in mind that, these days, other than 3rd-world regions, farmers are expected by law to regularly deworm their animals. That said, many rawists, such as myself, routinely eat raw meat from wild animals with no side-effects ever.

The problem with pork is that, in the UK and most other Western countries, pigs are mostly or wholly fed on grains which is highly unnatural and very unhealthy. Pigs in the wild are omnivorous eating carrion, insects, roots, leaves, worms, small mammals etc.If you can find genuinely grassfed/pastured pork then go for it, otherwise best to go for grassfed meats from other animals.

HTH,
RPG.
