Raw Meat

[What 23]

I recently started eating red meat again. I was more or less forced into it as my diet is so restricted, due to food sensitivities.

I have been eating lamb rib chops, so far. I have noticed, or it seems, that my throat has become constricted, and sinuses inflamed, when it has been cooked past 20 minutes, and the pink mostly gone. It also seems harder to digest. I have been moving toward only cooking a rack for 15 minutes at 350 degrees F... and this leaves it red.

I do better the less cooked it is. No throat issues. Better digestion. I want to move to raw... but I am new at this.

Anyone have any pointers? Experience? Where to start? Types of meat?

What23 I wouldn't recommend eating raw meat as it has potential dangers to consuming it. If the raw meat you are going to consume has a bacteria present, you can get salmonella poisoning or another type of bacterial infection. Is there a possibility that you could cook the meat medium rare at least? I would also suggest that you switch to white meat if that is possible like chicken, turkey as it is a healthier option in comparison to eating red meat which have possible health risks:

I am not too sure if you are regularly eating a healthy diet such as adding vegetables and fruits as is this the best option for anyone who would like to have a healthier body. I have also just started juicing http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Juicing and I am planning to switch to juicing instead of ingesting a ton of supplements. The more natural the food consumption is, the better it is for the human body.

Kobe/Wagyu beef.

Wagyu beef (super rare--melts like BUTTER)

I ate sashimi for a long time but after a parasite incident I stopped.

Unless someone has been reputably trained in the traditional ways of preparing raw meat, I wouldn't trust most modern sources. Additionally, the meat should be organic and non-medicated. Factory-farm meat has the highest potential for bacterial toxins because most of the livestock are fed corn based meal (instead of grass) in addition to being housed in unsanitary conditions.

The lamb I was eating is from New Zealand, and is apparently 100% grass fed. I was a dummy though and ate it multiple days in a row, though, and I'm pretty sure I'm allergic to it now. Get a headache and stomach pain shortly after eating. I don't know if that isn't a reaction to bacteria though.

I had yet to try it completely raw... but I got to the point where I was just cooking the outside at 350 for 7 minutes then turning it. If I overcooked (little to no pink) it would swell my throat. Undercooked headache stomach pain and slight sore throat.

I'm about to try an allergy treatment. Its actually acupuncture/ pressure-involved, and the guy says he has only had to re-treat 3 people since he started. Says it doesn't "cure" allergies but stops the response. Have you, as an acupuncturist, ever heard of this?

I'm pretty desperate. Fasting seems to be just about my only option for pain avoidance at this time.

I wouldn't recommend eating raw meat as it has potential dangers to consuming it.

True, though this is a far greater danger with undercooked pork. Now, this danger could be circumvented if irradiated meat were widely available, but it isn't because people are stupid.

Only fish or beef.

But I fucking love me a rare assed steak.

I eat raw/seared red meat all the time. I would never eat raw poultry.

The most important things are how the animal was raised, and how the animal was slaughtered. The animal needs to have been a pastured, well cared for, organic-diet fed, natural diet fed (for example, grass fed cows), all around healthy specimen. It needs to be slaughtered humanely and quickly (ie not factory farmed, tortured to death practically). These things provide the conditions for the least amount of pathogens. A poorly slaughtered animal is a freaked out animal, the chemicals of its panic are toxic. A sick animal is a sick consumer via bio-magnification. Just saying this isnt hippy shit, gotta love the animal if you want to get the most out of its flesh.

With beef I usually sliver off a portion of a steak im having for dinner and sear it for like 1 second each side, then just eat. My gf and I call it "meat gum" cuz it takes forever to chew up properly.

Right on. I'd rather not eat meat than risk parasites, some parasites will fuck your whole life up. Not worth it.
