How to Heal Yourself

What is the Natural Human Diet?

Humans are biologically and physiologically adapted to a nutrient-dense, animal-based diet, particularly in its raw and unprocessed form. The structure and function of the human digestive system—characterized by a highly acidic stomach (pH ~1.5), a relatively short intestinal tract, and a limited ability to ferment fiber—resemble that of carnivorous and omnivorous species rather than herbivores.

Raw animal foods such as muscle meats, organ meats, raw dairy, eggs and seafood provide complete proteins, essential fatty acids, and critical micronutrients in their most bioavailable forms, including fat-soluble vitamins (A, D, E, K2), B-complex vitamins, vitamin C (found in raw organs), and minerals such as heme iron, zinc, calcium, and magnesium.

Unlike plant matter, which often contains cellulose, oxalates, and other antinutrients poorly tolerated by the human system, raw animal products offer direct nourishment without requiring microbial fermentation or enzymatic adaptation beyond what humans naturally possess.

Primitive Cultures

Traditional societies illustrate the long-term viability and health-promoting effects of such diets. Tribes like the Inuit of the Arctic, the Maasai and Samburu of East Africa, and the Mongols of Central Asia thrived on diets centered around raw or minimally cooked animal products—meat, blood, milk, and fat—while showing no signs of dental decay, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, or cancer. The work of Dr. Weston A. Price documented how these populations exhibited broad dental arches, perfect teeth, and robust physiques, in stark contrast to modernized groups consuming processed foods. Likewise, Dr. Francis Pottenger’s multi-generational cat studies showed that raw animal diets supported optimal growth and reproduction, while cooked and processed diets led to degeneration and disease.

Pathology

Pathology in modern societies can largely be traced to dietary and environmental deviations from this natural model. Cooking degrades heat-sensitive nutrients, denatures proteins, oxidizes fats, and eliminates enzymes, while the consumption of cooked starches induces abnormal glycemic responses, promoting insulin resistance and metabolic disorders. Refined sugars, white flour, industrial seed oils, alcohol, pharmaceuticals, and exposure to environmental toxins further compromise physiological integrity, leading to systemic inflammation and degeneration.

Cholesterol

Contrary to mainstream belief, dietary cholesterol is not the cause of heart disease. Research by Dr. Uffe Ravnskov and others shows that sugar and refined carbohydrates—not animal fats—trigger vascular damage. Carbohydrates cause repeated insulin spikes, which irritate the arterial lining, leading to inflammation and plaque buildup. Cholesterol acts as a repair agent, not a harmful substance. Over time, this damage can result in atherosclerosis, blood clots, and heart attacks—not from dietary fat, but from chronic glycemic stress.

Fibre

Humans lack the enzymes and gut adaptations to digest fiber, unlike herbivores with specialized fermentation systems. Indigestible fiber ferments in the colon, promoting bacterial overgrowth and gas. Its abrasive nature can chronically irritate and scar the intestinal mucosa, impairing absorption. This mucosal damage contributes to reduced nutrient uptake observed with aging.

Restoration

Chronic disease, however, is not inevitable; by restoring a diet based on raw, nutrient-dense animal foods, rehydrating with mineral-rich fluids, and reducing toxic exposures, it is possible to reverse many modern illnesses and reestablish the biochemical homeostasis upon which human health depends.

Hydration

Dehydration causes the tissues of the body to dry out, and cells begin to shrivel and malfunction.

To rehydrate cells, maintain healthy blood salinity (approx. 0.9%), and support detoxification, we must consume mineral-rich fluids—sometimes referred to as plasma. These include:

  • Diluted seawater (1:3 with fresh water)

  • Spring water + unrefined sea salt (3–9g/L)

  • Raw milk

  • Fresh animal blood (in traditional contexts)

  • Coconut water

Plain water, when consumed in excess without minerals, can dilute the mineral concentration of the blood, leading to electrolyte imbalance and impaired cellular hydration. Minerals act as conductors, enabling water to enter cells and support critical functions like detoxification, nerve signaling, and pH balance.

As we consume more mineralized fluids, blood plasma volume and mineral content increase, allowing cells to hydrate properly and release stored toxins. This detox process often triggers temporary symptoms—commonly mistaken as disease—such as fatigue, headaches, rashes, or digestive upset. These are signs of the body mobilizing and eliminating stored poisons through urine, sweat, and stool.

During detox, increased intake of mineral-rich fluids is crucial to flush out released toxins efficiently. Without sufficient fluids, toxins may circulate longer in the bloodstream, intensifying symptoms.

Substances like alcohol, caffeine, medications, synthetic additives, and plant antinutrients (from grains, legumes, and some vegetables) can interfere with mineral balance and cellular hydration, disrupting this natural cleansing process.

Medications often suppress symptoms by tightening cell membranes, preventing toxins from entering cells—but this also halts detox and allows toxins to accumulate deeper in the body, potentially leading to chronic illness.

In advanced toxicity, the body may use the skin as an elimination organ (causing eczema, acne, rashes). Over time, if detox pathways remain overwhelmed, tumors may form as the body walls off degenerative and undigested cells it cannot yet process. These cells are stored until the body has enough hydration, minerals, and energy to dissolve and excrete them safely.

How to Hydrate Your Blood and Cells

Proper cellular hydration begins with balanced blood salinity.
The body maintains a tightly regulated sodium-to-water ratio in the blood (approx. 0.9% salinity). Disruption of this balance impairs cellular function and hydration:

  • If water intake exceeds sodium levels, the body eliminates excess water (via urination) to restore balance.

  • If sodium exceeds water, the body excretes excess sodium to maintain equilibrium.

To support hydration at the cellular level, both pure water and unrefined mineral salts are essential.

Hydration Method

Drink pure, filtered water with unrefined sea salt:

  • Mix: ¼ teaspoon of raw, unrefined Celtic sea salt per liter of water.

  • Use only sea salt—rich in trace minerals—for both hydration and as a food additive.

  • Use high-quality water filters (e.g., gravity-fed carbon filters like Berkey). Store in stainless steel to minimize bacterial growth. Clean containers with colloidal silver or natural disinfectants to avoid chemical contamination.

Avoid distilled, reverse osmosis, or overly purified water without minerals, as it can dilute blood electrolytes and disrupt hydration.

How Cells Hydrate

Hydration occurs via cellular osmosis, driven by the sodium-potassium pump:

  • Sodium (Na⁺) enters cells, creating an osmotic gradient that pulls water in.

  • Inside the cell, potassium (K⁺) levels rise—maintained partly through metabolic conversion (not literal "cold fusion," but enzymatic processes and ion exchange).

  • This electrolyte exchange powers cellular hydration, nutrient uptake, and detoxification.

Summary

  • Hydration = Pure water + unrefined salt (trace minerals).

  • Avoid plain water alone, which may dilute electrolytes.

  • Cellular hydration requires both external minerals and internal balance (via sodium-potassium dynamics).

  • This balance enables efficient detoxification, energy production, and overall vitality.

Correct Metabolism

A diet high in glucose reduces the amount of active mitochondria in the cells. This limits the amount of energy that can be generated when glucose is not available- this leads to hyper and hypoglycaemia resulting in tiredness and feeling lightheaded until sugar is consumed again.

Fats (Triglycerides) are the correct energy source for animal cells. To be able to extract energy from fat, mitochondria inject oxygen into the fat during the hydrogen release. Therefore they have Oxygen pumps, this is why we breathe whereas plants (fuelled by glucose) do not. Fat is the stored energy of animals and when the body is metabolically healthy it can easily be taken from circulating blood or adipose tissue to the cells for energy release. Meaning that you can fast without lacking energy as long as their is stored fat on the body.

Being Fat Adapted leads to stable energy, mental clarity and lack of tiredness or hunger pangs since the body smoothly transitions from burning dietary fats to the stored fats in adipose tissue, without glucose getting in the way - AKA Stable blood sugar levels (no Hypoglycaemia).

ADVICE: When removing plant carbohydrates from the diet, you will experience detoxification symptoms due to the removal of plant toxins and you will face withdrawal symptoms from the cells reliance on glucose. Endure for 3-6 weeks and you will overcome this and begin to become fat adapted. Over time, your body will become more efficient as using fat to produce ATP and you will have much greater energy and vitality.

Nutrient Dense Foods

Consuming plenty of raw animal foods such as red meat, liver, brain, eggs and raw dairy provides the body with the necessary building blocks for growth, repair and maintenance of its structures due to the high levels of bioavailable proteins.

Saturated animal fat and cholesterol found in raw butter, brains and meats are vital for hormone function, testosterone/estrogen production as well as nerve function and producing high energy levels. These are also major structural components to the cells and cell membranes (phospholipid bilayer and cholesterol).

These foods also provide all the essential vitamins, minerals and elements required by the human body.
