AboutRawPalaeoGuy 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:-

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 In a previous post you had mentioned that you found farms in the USA that would sell adrenal glands cheap. Could you please say which farms? Also, would it be possible to say how I might be able to get a farm to include these? I've tried discussing this with various farms and they have no idea what I'm talking about. I'd appreciate your feedback.
Answer As I live in the UK, the only US online grassfed meat farms I know of which sell raw(well, frozen)glands like adrenal glands are NorthStar Bison, Slanker's, and (possibly) US Wellness Meats. I'm pretty sure the first two farms advertise that they provide all raw organ-meats from "rocky mountain oysters" to spleen etc. The only organ they won't sell is raw cows' brain, for legal reasons.
The problem with buying really obscure raw organs like raw adrenals is that they're too small for the farmer to want to bother with. Plus, since raw organs are much cheaper than muscle-meats, and much less in demand, there's less incentive for farmers to bother selling them. Here in the UK, I've been forced to give up on the notion of buying raw adrenals via grassfed meat farms as, after phoning 100s of such farms, few if any of them even have a clue what the adrenals are, and those that do, have no interest in selling them. So, I buy my adrenals in (freeze-dried) supplement form from Dr Ron's website:-
