Question
I am extemely ill, and have wondered about raw meats that might help me to get stronger, even though this sounds so unorthadox. Thank you.

Answer
It is extremely difficult to explain an entire diet such as the raw, palaeolithic diet in just 1 e-mail, but I'll do my best. The first thing you should do is read ALL the diet-related messages in the message-archives of the rawpaleodiet yahoo group and rawpaleoforum.com. Sure, some of them will be irrelevant to your purpose, but by reading them all, you can get a rough idea of what works and can avoid all sorts of common mistakes that newbies to  RVAF diets can make.

Here is a thread about how/where to get hold of high-quality raw foods such as grassfed meats:-

Here's a thread on how to start a raw palaeolithic diet:-

On rawpaleoforum, in the off-topics forum, there is a thread called "what are you eating right now?" in which people give some idea of what they normally eat each day.

Basically, a raw, palaeolithic diet consists of raw meats, raw organ-meats, raw fruits, raw vegetables(in small quantities and only certain types), raw honey(comb) etc. The food should be organic or from wild sources(and in the case of raw meats, 100% grassfed). Meat doesn't always have to be officially organic - as long as it's free of artificial hormones etc., and 100% grassfed it's fine.

You should have a look at rawpaleodiet.com, read the testimonials there. There's also plenty of testimonials on the 2 forums I mentioned above. You didn't tell me your particular health-problems, but all I can say is that this is the most effective diet there is(I and many, many others have tried pretty much every other dietary combination before trying out a raw palaeolithic diet as a last resort, and it's worked wonders for us). That said, I was in extreme ill-health before taking up the rawpaleodiet and needed c.2-3 years of rawpalaeo in order to fully regain my health.
