Here is my argument. Paleolithic man didn't have the pollution of the air, sea and land that we have today. He got more than sufficient sun (hence, plenty of Vitamin D) - something we don't and can't get enough of because of the depletion of the ozone layer. The land has been destroyed by chemicals and heavy minerals and depleted of it's nutrients so that the food that IS produced on it doesn't have the same nutrient density that it did then. Paleolithic man got Omega 3's from fish. You can't eat the fish any more. It's toxic. If you ate the amount of fish necessary to keep your omega 3 levels where they should be you would die from mercury poisoning. The assault on our bodies from pollutants of all types via air, water and food is such that we need EXTRA anti-oxidants to combat the damage caused to our cells by these external forces.

In short - we don't live in the paleolithic era. Our planet is less hospitable to our species than it was then thanks to our own stupidity and we have to deal with that. The meat they ate was more lean. The vegetables and fruits they ate were more nutrient dense and didn't contain chemicals. Even "organic" foods are "allowed" by the FDA to contain certain amounts of chemicals, which is plain ridiculous but it's probably a concession to the fact that there are no places left on this planet that haven't been affected by industrialized society.

So, my argument is, that we cannot receive the same level of nutrition from the same foods that were eaten millions of years ago because our species has polluted the planet to a point where that is impossible and the only way to make up for what was lost is to supplement to get what we can't eat.

I take supplements- but most are on the recommendation of my doctor based on my blood work. If you need to, you should. But it never hurts to make certain you need them before you start.

Am I crazy?  I don't think so!

I don't think you're crazy at all Gina. But it's got to be a personal choice on what one believes is best for their own health. I have multiple sclerosis and a small host of other autoimmune disorders. I've had to be on a cane before. I've had fatigue so bad that I could only make it through half a work day. I've had the shakes so bad that I coudln't drink from a glass for weeks. I have a sever hearing loss that offers it's own challenges. I've had my knees so bad that I couldn't get up the stairs.

I changed my diet, I feel good, and I'm making progress. But if I don't take say the B12's, I can't get through the afternoon without a two hour nap. My Vit D levels were under 20 last time they were checked which is INSANE low.

You have to be your own health advocate and tell you doctor what your willing to do and not do. But when I have a serious potentially debilitating disease, I'm willing to do just about anything to make sure I can stay active and a productive member of society.

Each person has to decide what is going to be best for them. You have to be open minded and try other things. But to just say "you don't need that" when you've never walked in their shoes really isn't reasonable.

If you eat a mostly cooked diet and do not eat raw organs nor raw fat, you may need supplementation.

Ever heard of Dr. Ron's Organs, or Lyprinol... raw organs and raw fats...

I'll eat real raw organs and real raw fat, but for some people, it's just too disgusting.  They like taking commercial supplements in capsules.  I say, do what works for you.

See me and a hot chick eat raw liver:

And eating raw bone marrow

If you don't see yourself doing these possibly disgusting eating patterns, then take the commercial supplement route.

I couldn't go the raw way.  Raw burger yes, but not anything else.  I guess I'm just a chicken.  And I love my chicken cooked, along with my fish, etc.  While I live in the wilderness here in Montana, I would still rather cook my food.  It's interesting though.  I admire your courage to do that, and yes I did watch your videos of you enjoying your rawness.....it's just not for me.  I bake, broil, bbq, boil, fry and rotessirie, but I cannot set down to a plate with a raw leg on it.  Sorry. 

And bugs are out too!  You should see our pine beetles here, I'm sure they would make someone a tasty meal, but again, not for me.

Relax.  At 70 I figure I've lived a good long life.  If I live longer, that is good.  And if I don't, oh well.  I've been married, have two lovely children both married which means I also have 7 grandchildren.  I live a happy life.  I am very content.

Several things I do not have any more however since starting this diet:

1.  No more heartburn - hence no more taking acid controllers.
2.  No more leg cramps at night.
3.  No more hot flashes.
4.  Hair looks better, skin looks better, nails growing strong again.

I figure these benefits are fantastic!  But I still don't like doctors! 

I don't think you are crazy at all.

Actually there's quite a lot of evidence that the radiation from mammograms and some other tests actually increase the risks of developing cancer quite significantly. I also believe that many cancers start to develop all the time but our immune systems get rid of them. By detecting them at a very early stage you may at best be subjecting yourself to stress and unpleasant and dangerous treatments for nothing and at worst spread the cancer through surgery and radiation.

The mammograms = more breast cancer study is actually one I use quite a lot to demonstrate why correlation does not equal causation. Women with a history of breast cancer, get more mammograms. Simple.

Ok... Cancer is uncontrolled growth, if your immune system gets rid of it, it is not a cancer.

Survival rates for all sorts of cancers have increased dramatically over the past 10 years, due to better treatment AND early detection.

By detecting them at a very early stage you may at best be subjecting yourself to stress and unpleasant and dangerous treatments for nothing

That is really not a very sensible statement, and millions of cancer survivors are proof of that.
