I wrote several articles explaining my diet choice for people interested in diet, health, and longevity. To support my point of view, I included links to other articles, underscoring the real influence of the food we eat on our health and well-being.
This article is the result of many years of research and personal testing of various diets and their effects on my physical, emotional, and mental health (starting in 1985). A simple, zero-carb diet consisting primarily of raw meat/raw fish (MFZC) and pure water was eventually discovered to be optimal for health. I have been testing the raw MFZC diet from April 2016 to the present time, and it has not disappointed, providing an astoundingly positive impact on my overall well-being. I have concluded that this diet is definitely better than all the other diets I’ve rigorously tested on myself throughout the years.
I hope this article will be of benefit to most people, especially those with health challenges who feel their current diet is not kind to them. I publish my articles on various social networking websites, Facebook groups, and forums for educational and informational purposes, and I appreciate any comments, remarks, and constructive criticism of my work.
Part 2. Why Do People Become Sick? (renewed on April 20, 2022)
Why do initially perfectly designed human beings acquire so many diseases over the course of their lives, especially in later stages, closer to old age? Why do people age significantly more quickly and noticeably than wild animals?
The answer lies in the food we have been eating for millennia, until modern times. This is especially true with the food we consume today. Many of these foods do help us survive, but they have both short- and long-term adverse side effects.
You can read more about these detrimental ramifications in many other articles I’ve linked below, as well as in some of my published articles on the website https://rawdiets.wordpress.com/. Unfortunately, we really are what we eat. Fortunately, with the right know-how, we can use food as medicine to administer deep healing.
If you want to help yourself cure your own diseases and live without them, normalize your weight, be healthy, feel alive, have a clear mind, better memory, concentration, and better cognitive abilities during your lifetime including old age, you should consider a simple diet of primarily raw fatty meat, raw fatty sea fish (preferably wild-caught), and drink a reasonable amount of pure water.
(As mentioned in the article, ‘excess of red meat consumption may be associated with an increased incidence of colorectal and breast cancer, ‘ it is related to only cooked meat, but absolutely not to raw meat!)
From this article:
Regarding diet, the researchers found that only red meat consumption frequency was associated with telomere length. Therefore, red meat consumption appears to be related to a longer telomere length.’
The significance of telomere length is that the longer the DNA telomeres we have, the longer we live.
The article confirms statistically that the more often we eat meat, the longer we live.
Humans are similar to carnivores in many ways. For example, see this table:
Different species digest food differently when comparing which part of the intestine mainly digests: “Pictures are worth 1000 words. Human intestines digest meat easily (the small intestine); other primates specialize in plant digestion (the colon). Unlike plant-eaters, humans join dogs and cats in low fermentation (poor plant digestion). Human and dog stomachs are very similar. (@AnnChildersMD)
Zero-carb diets vary. Some include eggs and dairy, while others don’t, and yet others focus on higher-fat intake, for example. However, regardless of the ZC flavour, most people who follow these diets prefer to cook their food for at least a short time. But even a brief period over a burning fire or hot stove destroys its natural enzymes and creates many irreversible chemical reactions in the food. Heat decreases their nutritional value and the healing power of ZC diets. Moreover, cooked food generates a profound negative influence on physical, emotional, and mental health. For example, here’s an experiment about the impact of cooked food on rats: http://www.naturalnews.com/023401_rats_foods_health.html.
To this day, I continue eating a raw diet, consisting primarily of raw meat/ raw fish (MFZC) and pure water.
Before my current diet (from November 2007 to April 2016), I tested only 100% raw food diets (high- or low-carb, primal, paleo, etc.). Eventually, I concluded that the raw MFZC diet is the best all-around.

Part 4. Advantages Of The MFZC Diet and Pure Water (renewed on April 20, 2022)
1) After adaptation, you will not need or want to indulge in any other food.
2) Red meat, such as beef, is one of, if not the best, foods one should consume on the carnivore diet. It has the most complete and optimally balanced set of nutrients compatible with our genetic makeup.
3) Wild-caught sea fish such as salmon, mackerel, herring, etc., contain vital fatty acids, including Omega-3 and essential trace minerals (electrolytes) that terrestrial animals do not currently possess in significant enough amounts.

Part 4. Advantages Of The MFZC Diet and Pure Water (renewed on April 20, 2022)

2) Red meat, such as beef, is one of, if not the best, foods one should consume on the carnivore diet. It has the most complete and optimally balanced set of nutrients compatible with our genetic makeup.
3) Wild-caught sea fish such as salmon, mackerel, herring, etc., contain vital fatty acids, including Omega-3 and essential trace minerals (electrolytes) that terrestrial animals do not currently possess in significant enough amounts.
On an all-meat diet (i.e., a ZC diet without seafood), some of the essential trace minerals are missing entirely or partially – Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn, Mo, Se, I. Today, animals (and people) eat plants (grass, grains, etc.) grown on depleted soils, which lack these essential trace minerals. Therefore, animal flesh also lacks the vital trace minerals needed for optimal body functioning. The ocean has an abundance of electrolytes. You can rest assured that sea life has a relatively high level of trace minerals, notably more than what you’ll find in terrestrial animals.
For example, if you do not have enough of the trace element iodine (I), you may develop a goitre (an endocrine disease). In many parts of the world today, the soil, plants, and animal foodstuffs lack iodine, so people are forced to supplement with nonorganic iodine. Still, unfortunately, these supplements are very unhealthy in the long run. It is well known that in some countries, many people developed goitre centuries ago.
The benefits of adding seafood to our diet have long been known. For example, here is what Weston A Price, a famous dentist who went around the world studying the teeth of indigenous people, wrote about Indians living in the highlands of Peru: “It was, accordingly, a matter of great interest to discover that these Indians used regularly dried fish eggs from the sea. Commerce in these dried foods is carried on today as it no doubt has been for centuries. When I inquired why they used this material, they explained that it was necessary to maintain the fertility of their women. I was informed also that every exchange depot and market carried these dried fish eggs so that they were always available.” You can find this quote in chapter 15 of his book:http://gutenberg.net.au/ebooks02/0200251h.html.
4) A reasonable amount of pure water is vital for the proper biochemical reactions to take place inside our body (tea, coffee, juices, etc., can interfere with these reactions and make them more challenging to carry out). See ‘Distilled water’ in Article 2 and ‘Beverages’ in Article 4.
5) During the time you are on this diet, your diseases, from chronic cold, flu, and obesity to degenerative diseases related to aging, will gradually be cured.
Part 5. Disadvantages Of The Raw MFZC Diet (renewed on February 11, 2019)
1) Possible intolerance to some types of meat/fish. Actually, intolerance to certain foods may manifest primarily as diarrhea, constipation, or skin inflammation. It can disappear over time if it is related to changes in your intestinal microflora. But intolerance also can be linked to toxins if the animal/fish you eat is fed foods with added chemicals, antibiotics, medicines, etc. This kind of intolerance may not disappear. Also, there may be possible genetic reasons for intolerance.
2) You may experience a long adaptation period to this diet, up to several months.
3) Social get-togethers with relatives and interactions with friends may become problematic in certain situations.
Part 6. Adding Other Food To MFZC Diet (renewed on November 04, 2022)
Unfortunately, other animals, and especially most plant foods, may not be as compatible or nutritionally adequate as our bodies’ genetic requirements. Also, they may cause additional negative side effects, such as fluctuations in hormonal activity and changes in the absorption of vitamins, minerals, and other micronutrients. Some of the links provided in this article fully attest to it.
People often try to add other foods to meat and fish, but it can be more complicated than it seems. It’s somewhat familiar for folks to make the same mistake and think that all produce is chock-full of valuable vitamins, minerals, etc. In reality, they are not, since every type of (untampered or intact) food is a whole or part of a former living plant, mushroom, or animal. This means that a particular food item can naturally contain thousands of complex and chemically active substances. Some of them are beneficial, and some are useless or even harmful.
In response, the human body would need to generate thousands of different chemical reactions to digest this food, then decide whether to keep or reject these substances to maintain life and the diverse functionality of the body and brain, or simply maintain homeostasis. This is a vast, energy-intensive task for the body and all its organs. And it is especially true if you eat various foods mixed together, because the substances they’re made of interact to create new by-products, which can also decrease the absorption of some nutrients.
By the way, if you want to eat a few kinds of food together, eat them without mixing, i.e., sequentially, and they will form separate layers inside your stomach. These layers are stable and do not mix with each other, even in the intestines.

I wrote several articles explaining my diet choice for people interested in diet, health, and longevity. To present my point of view, I included links to other articles in my article, confirming the actual influence of the food we ingest on our health and well-being.
This article is the result of many years of research and personal testing of various diets and their effects on my physical, emotional, and mental health (starting in 1985). A simple, zero-carb diet consisting primarily of raw meat/raw fish (MFZC) and pure water was eventually discovered to be optimal for health. I have been testing the raw MFZC diet from April 2016 to the present time, and it has not disappointed, providing an astoundingly positive impact on my overall well-being. I have concluded that this diet is definitely better than all the other diets I’ve rigorously tested on myself throughout the years.
I hope this article will be of benefit to most people, especially those with health challenges who feel their current diet is not kind to them. I publish my articles on various social networking websites, Facebook groups, and forums for educational and informational purposes, and I appreciate any comments, remarks, and constructive criticism of my work.
Part 2. Why Do People Become Sick? (renewed on April 20, 2022)
Why do initially perfectly designed human beings acquire so many diseases over the course of their lives, especially in later stages, closer to old age? Why do people age significantly more quickly and noticeably than wild animals?
The answer lies in the food we have been eating for millennia, until modern times. This is especially true with the food we consume today. Many of these foods do help us survive, but they have both short- and long-term adverse side effects.
You can read more about these detrimental ramifications in many other articles I’ve linked below, as well as in some of my published articles on the website https://rawdiets.wordpress.com/. Unfortunately, we really are what we eat. Fortunately, with the right know-how, we can use food as medicine to administer deep healing.
If you want to help yourself cure your own diseases and live without them, normalize your weight, be healthy, feel alive, have a clear mind, better memory, concentration, and better cognitive abilities during your lifetime including old age, you should consider a simple diet of primarily raw fatty meat, raw fatty sea fish (preferably wild-caught), and drink a reasonable amount of pure water.
(As mentioned in the article, ‘excess of red meat consumption may be associated with an increased incidence of colorectal and breast cancer, ‘ it is related to only cooked meat, but absolutely not to raw meat!)
From this article:
Regarding diet, the researchers found that only red meat consumption frequency was associated with telomere length. Therefore, red meat consumption appears to be related to a longer telomere length.’
The significance of telomere length is that the longer the DNA telomeres we have, the longer we live.
The article confirms statistically that the more often we eat meat, the longer we live.
Humans are similar to carnivores in many ways. For example, see this table:
Different species digest food differently when comparing which part of the intestine mainly digests: “Pictures are worth 1000 words. Human intestines digest meat easily (the small intestine); other primates specialize in plant digestion (the colon). Unlike plant-eaters, humans join dogs and cats in low fermentation (poor plant digestion). Human and dog stomachs are very similar. (@AnnChildersMD)
Zero-carb diets vary. Some include eggs and dairy, while others don’t, and yet others focus on higher-fat intake, for example. However, regardless of the ZC flavour, most people who follow these diets prefer to cook their food for at least a short time. But even a brief period over a burning fire or hot stove destroys its natural enzymes and creates many irreversible chemical reactions in the food. Heat decreases their nutritional value and the healing power of ZC diets. Moreover, cooked food generates a profound negative influence on physical, emotional, and mental health. For example, here’s an experiment about the impact of cooked food on rats: http://www.naturalnews.com/023401_rats_foods_health.html.
To this day, I continue eating a raw diet, consisting primarily of raw meat/ raw fish (MFZC) and pure water.
Before my current diet (from November 2007 to April 2016), I tested only 100% raw food diets (high- or low-carb, primal, paleo, etc.). Eventually, I concluded that the raw MFZC diet is the best all-around.
For additional updated information, also see part 2 in Article 15
Part 4. Advantages Of The MFZC Diet and Pure Water (renewed on April 20, 2022)
1) After adaptation, you will not need or want to indulge in any other food.
2) Red meat, such as beef, is one of, if not the best, foods one should consume on the carnivore diet. It has the most complete and optimally balanced set of nutrients compatible with our genetic makeup.
3) Wild-caught sea fish such as salmon, mackerel, herring, etc., contain vital fatty acids, including Omega-3 and essential trace minerals (electrolytes) that terrestrial animals do not currently possess in significant enough amounts.
On an all-meat diet (i.e., a ZC diet without seafood), some of the essential trace minerals are missing entirely or partially – Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn, Mo, Se, I. Today, animals (and people) eat plants (grass, grains, etc.) grown on depleted soils, which lack these essential trace minerals. Therefore, animal flesh also lacks the vital trace minerals needed for optimal body functioning. The ocean has an abundance of electrolytes. You can rest assured that sea life has a relatively high level of trace minerals, notably more than what you’ll find in terrestrial animals.
For example, if you do not have enough of the trace element iodine (I), you may develop a goitre (an endocrine disease). In many parts of the world today, the soil, plants, and animal foodstuffs lack iodine, so people are forced to supplement with nonorganic iodine. Still, unfortunately, these supplements are very unhealthy in the long run. It is well known that in some countries, many people developed goitre centuries ago.
The benefits of adding seafood to our diet have long been known. For example, here is what Weston A Price, a famous dentist who went around the world studying the teeth of indigenous people, wrote about Indians living in the highlands of Peru: “It was, accordingly, a matter of great interest to discover that these Indians used regularly dried fish eggs from the sea. Commerce in these dried foods is carried on today as it no doubt has been for centuries. When I inquired why they used this material, they explained that it was necessary to maintain the fertility of their women. I was informed also that every exchange depot and market carried these dried fish eggs so that they were always available.” You can find this quote in chapter 15 of his book:http://gutenberg.net.au/ebooks02/0200251h.html.
4) A reasonable amount of pure water is vital for the proper biochemical reactions to take place inside our body (tea, coffee, juices, etc., can interfere with these reactions and make them more challenging to carry out). See ‘Distilled water’ in Article 2 and ‘Beverages’ in Article 4.
5) During the time you are on this diet, your diseases, from chronic cold, flu, and obesity to degenerative diseases related to aging, will gradually be cured.
Part 5. Disadvantages Of The Raw MFZC Diet (renewed on February 11, 2019)
1) Possible intolerance to some types of meat/fish. Actually, intolerance to certain foods may manifest primarily as diarrhea, constipation, or skin inflammation. It can disappear over time if it is related to changes in your intestinal microflora. But intolerance also can be linked to toxins if the animal/fish you eat is fed foods with added chemicals, antibiotics, medicines, etc. This kind of intolerance may not disappear. Also, there may be possible genetic reasons for intolerance.
2) You may experience a long adaptation period to this diet, up to several months.
3) Social get-togethers with relatives and interactions with friends may become problematic in certain situations.
Part 6. Adding Other Food To MFZC Diet (renewed on November 04, 2022)
Unfortunately, other animals, and especially most plant foods, may not be as compatible or nutritionally adequate as our bodies’ genetic requirements. Also, they may cause additional negative side effects, such as fluctuations in hormonal activity and changes in the absorption of vitamins, minerals, and other micronutrients. Some of the links provided in this article fully attest to it.
People often try to add other foods to meat and fish, but it can be more complicated than it seems. It’s somewhat familiar for folks to make the same mistake and think that all produce is chock-full of valuable vitamins, minerals, etc. In reality, they are not, since every type of (untampered or intact) food is a whole or part of a former living plant, mushroom, or animal. This means that a particular food item can naturally contain thousands of complex and chemically active substances. Some of them are beneficial, and some are useless or even harmful.
In response, the human body would need to generate thousands of different chemical reactions to digest this food, then decide whether to keep or reject these substances to maintain life and the diverse functionality of the body and brain, or simply maintain homeostasis. This is a vast, energy-intensive task for the body and all its organs. And it is especially true if you eat various foods mixed together, because the substances they’re made of interact to create new by-products, which can also decrease the absorption of some nutrients.
By the way, if you want to eat a few kinds of food together, eat them without mixing, i.e., sequentially, and they will form separate layers inside your stomach. These layers are stable and do not mix with each other, even in the intestines.

1) After adaptation, you will not need or want to indulge in any other food.
2) Red meat, such as beef, is one of, if not the best, foods one should consume on the carnivore diet. It has the most complete and optimally balanced set of nutrients compatible with our genetic makeup.
3) Wild-caught sea fish such as salmon, mackerel, herring, etc., contain vital fatty acids, including Omega-3 and essential trace minerals (electrolytes) that terrestrial animals do not currently possess in significant enough amounts.
On an all-meat diet (i.e., a ZC diet without seafood), some of the essential trace minerals are missing entirely or partially – Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn, Mo, Se, I. Today, animals (and people) eat plants (grass, grains, etc.) grown on depleted soils, which lack these essential trace minerals. Therefore, animal flesh also lacks the vital trace minerals needed for optimal body functioning. The ocean has an abundance of electrolytes. You can rest assured that sea life has a relatively high level of trace minerals, notably more than what you’ll find in terrestrial animals.
For example, if you do not have enough of the trace element iodine (I), you may develop a goitre (an endocrine disease). In many parts of the world today, the soil, plants, and animal foodstuffs lack iodine, so people are forced to supplement with nonorganic iodine. Still, unfortunately, these supplements are very unhealthy in the long run. It is well known that in some countries, many people developed goitre centuries ago.
The benefits of adding seafood to our diet have long been known. For example, here is what Weston A Price, a famous dentist who went around the world studying the teeth of indigenous people, wrote about Indians living in the highlands of Peru: “It was, accordingly, a matter of great interest to discover that these Indians used regularly dried fish eggs from the sea. Commerce in these dried foods is carried on today as it no doubt has been for centuries. When I inquired why they used this material, they explained that it was necessary to maintain the fertility of their women. I was informed also that every exchange depot and market carried these dried fish eggs so that they were always available.” You can find this quote in chapter 15 of his book:http://gutenberg.net.au/ebooks02/0200251h.html.
4) A reasonable amount of pure water is vital for the proper biochemical reactions to take place inside our body (tea, coffee, juices, etc., can interfere with these reactions and make them more challenging to carry out). See ‘Distilled water’ in Article 2 and ‘Beverages’ in Article 4.
5) During the time you are on this diet, your diseases, from chronic cold, flu, and obesity to degenerative diseases related to aging, will gradually be cured.
Part 5. Disadvantages Of The Raw MFZC Diet (renewed on February 11, 2019)
1) Possible intolerance to some types of meat/fish. Actually, intolerance to certain foods may manifest primarily as diarrhea, constipation, or skin inflammation. It can disappear over time if it is related to changes in your intestinal microflora. But intolerance also can be linked to toxins if the animal/fish you eat is fed foods with added chemicals, antibiotics, medicines, etc. This kind of intolerance may not disappear. Also, there may be possible genetic reasons for intolerance.
2) You may experience a long adaptation period to this diet, up to several months.
3) Social get-togethers with relatives and interactions with friends may become problematic in certain situations.
Part 6. Adding Other Food To MFZC Diet (renewed on November 04, 2022)
Unfortunately, other animals, and especially most plant foods, may not be as compatible or nutritionally adequate as our bodies’ genetic requirements. Also, they may cause additional negative side effects, such as fluctuations in hormonal activity and changes in the absorption of vitamins, minerals, and other micronutrients. Some of the links provided in this article fully attest to it.
People often try to add other foods to meat and fish, but it can be more complicated than it seems. It’s somewhat familiar for folks to make the same mistake and think that all produce is chock-full of valuable vitamins, minerals, etc. In reality, they are not, since every type of (untampered or intact) food is a whole or part of a former living plant, mushroom, or animal. This means that a particular food item can naturally contain thousands of complex and chemically active substances. Some of them are beneficial, and some are useless or even harmful.
In response, the human body would need to generate thousands of different chemical reactions to digest this food, then decide whether to keep or reject these substances to maintain life and the diverse functionality of the body and brain, or simply maintain homeostasis. This is a vast, energy-intensive task for the body and all its organs. And it is especially true if you eat various foods mixed together, because the substances they’re made of interact to create new by-products, which can also decrease the absorption of some nutrients.
By the way, if you want to eat a few kinds of food together, eat them without mixing, i.e., sequentially, and they will form separate layers inside your stomach. These layers are stable and do not mix with each other, even in the intestines.
For more information, see the PDF file “Dr. Stanley S. Bass Sequential Eating and Food Combining. Excerpts from “Ideal Health through Sequential Eating”
I wrote several articles explaining my diet choice for people interested in diet, health, and longevity. To present my point of view, I included links to other articles in my article, confirming the actual influence of the food we ingest on our health and well-being.
This article is the result of many years of research and personal testing of various diets and their effects on my physical, emotional, and mental health (starting in 1985). A simple, zero-carb diet consisting primarily of raw meat/raw fish (MFZC) and pure water was eventually discovered to be optimal for health. I have been testing the raw MFZC diet from April 2016 to the present time, and it has not disappointed, providing an astoundingly positive impact on my overall well-being. I have concluded that this diet is definitely better than all the other diets I’ve rigorously tested on myself throughout the years.
I hope this article will be of benefit to most people, especially those with health challenges who feel their current diet is not kind to them. I publish my articles on various social networking websites, Facebook groups, and forums for educational and informational purposes, and I appreciate any comments, remarks, and constructive criticism of my work.
Part 2. Why Do People Become Sick? (renewed on April 20, 2022)
Why do initially perfectly designed human beings acquire so many diseases over the course of their lives, especially in later stages, closer to old age? Why do people age significantly more quickly and noticeably than wild animals?
The answer lies in the food we have been eating for millennia, until modern times. This is especially true with the food we consume today. Many of these foods do help us survive, but they have both short- and long-term adverse side effects.
You can read more about these detrimental ramifications in many other articles I’ve linked below, as well as in some of my published articles on the website https://rawdiets.wordpress.com/. Unfortunately, we really are what we eat. Fortunately, with the right know-how, we can use food as medicine to administer deep healing.
If you want to help yourself cure your own diseases and live without them, normalize your weight, be healthy, feel alive, have a clear mind, better memory, concentration, and better cognitive abilities during your lifetime including old age, you should consider a simple diet of primarily raw fatty meat, raw fatty sea fish (preferably wild-caught), and drink a reasonable amount of pure water.
(As mentioned in the article, ‘excess of red meat consumption may be associated with an increased incidence of colorectal and breast cancer, ‘ it is related to only cooked meat, but absolutely not to raw meat!)
From this article:
Regarding diet, the researchers found that only red meat consumption frequency was associated with telomere length. Therefore, red meat consumption appears to be related to a longer telomere length.’
The significance of telomere length is that the longer the DNA telomeres we have, the longer we live.
The article confirms statistically that the more often we eat meat, the longer we live.
Humans are similar to carnivores in many ways. For example, see this table:
Different species digest food differently when comparing which part of the intestine mainly digests: “Pictures are worth 1000 words. Human intestines digest meat easily (the small intestine); other primates specialize in plant digestion (the colon). Unlike plant-eaters, humans join dogs and cats in low fermentation (poor plant digestion). Human and dog stomachs are very similar. (@AnnChildersMD)
Zero-carb diets vary. Some include eggs and dairy, while others don’t, and yet others focus on higher-fat intake, for example. However, regardless of the ZC flavour, most people who follow these diets prefer to cook their food for at least a short time. But even a brief period over a burning fire or hot stove destroys its natural enzymes and creates many irreversible chemical reactions in the food. Heat decreases their nutritional value and the healing power of ZC diets. Moreover, cooked food generates a profound negative influence on physical, emotional, and mental health. For example, here’s an experiment about the impact of cooked food on rats: http://www.naturalnews.com/023401_rats_foods_health.html.
To this day, I continue eating a raw diet, consisting primarily of raw meat/ raw fish (MFZC) and pure water.
Before my current diet (from November 2007 to April 2016), I tested only 100% raw food diets (high- or low-carb, primal, paleo, etc.). Eventually, I concluded that the raw MFZC diet is the best all-around.

By the way, if you want to eat a few kinds of food together, eat them without mixing, i.e., sequentially, and they will form separate layers inside your stomach. These layers are stable and do not mix with each other, even in the intestines.

I wrote several articles explaining my diet choice for people interested in diet, health, and longevity. To present my point of view, I included links to other articles in my article, confirming the actual influence of the food we ingest on our health and well-being.
This article is the result of many years of research and personal testing of various diets and their effects on my physical, emotional, and mental health (starting in 1985). A simple, zero-carb diet consisting primarily of raw meat/raw fish (MFZC) and pure water was eventually discovered to be optimal for health. I have been testing the raw MFZC diet from April 2016 to the present time, and it has not disappointed, providing an astoundingly positive impact on my overall well-being. I have concluded that this diet is definitely better than all the other diets I’ve rigorously tested on myself throughout the years.
I hope this article will be of benefit to most people, especially those with health challenges who feel their current diet is not kind to them. I publish my articles on various social networking websites, Facebook groups, and forums for educational and informational purposes, and I appreciate any comments, remarks, and constructive criticism of my work.
Part 2. Why Do People Become Sick? (renewed on April 20, 2022)
Why do initially perfectly designed human beings acquire so many diseases over the course of their lives, especially in later stages, closer to old age? Why do people age significantly more quickly and noticeably than wild animals?
The answer lies in the food we have been eating for millennia, until modern times. This is especially true with the food we consume today. Many of these foods do help us survive, but they have both short- and long-term adverse side effects.
You can read more about these detrimental ramifications in many other articles I’ve linked below, as well as in some of my published articles on the website https://rawdiets.wordpress.com/. Unfortunately, we really are what we eat. Fortunately, with the right know-how, we can use food as medicine to administer deep healing.
If you want to help yourself cure your own diseases and live without them, normalize your weight, be healthy, feel alive, have a clear mind, better memory, concentration, and better cognitive abilities during your lifetime including old age, you should consider a simple diet of primarily raw fatty meat, raw fatty sea fish (preferably wild-caught), and drink a reasonable amount of pure water.
(As mentioned in the article, ‘excess of red meat consumption may be associated with an increased incidence of colorectal and breast cancer, ‘ it is related to only cooked meat, but absolutely not to raw meat!)
From this article:
Regarding diet, the researchers found that only red meat consumption frequency was associated with telomere length. Therefore, red meat consumption appears to be related to a longer telomere length.’
The significance of telomere length is that the longer the DNA telomeres we have, the longer we live.
The article confirms statistically that the more often we eat meat, the longer we live.
Humans are similar to carnivores in many ways. For example, see this table:
Different species digest food differently when comparing which part of the intestine mainly digests: “Pictures are worth 1000 words. Human intestines digest meat easily (the small intestine); other primates specialize in plant digestion (the colon). Unlike plant-eaters, humans join dogs and cats in low fermentation (poor plant digestion). Human and dog stomachs are very similar. (@AnnChildersMD)
Zero-carb diets vary. Some include eggs and dairy, while others don’t, and yet others focus on higher-fat intake, for example. However, regardless of the ZC flavour, most people who follow these diets prefer to cook their food for at least a short time. But even a brief period over a burning fire or hot stove destroys its natural enzymes and creates many irreversible chemical reactions in the food. Heat decreases their nutritional value and the healing power of ZC diets. Moreover, cooked food generates a profound negative influence on physical, emotional, and mental health. For example, here’s an experiment about the impact of cooked food on rats: http://www.naturalnews.com/023401_rats_foods_health.html.
To this day, I continue eating a raw diet, consisting primarily of raw meat/ raw fish (MFZC) and pure water.
Before my current diet (from November 2007 to April 2016), I tested only 100% raw food diets (high- or low-carb, primal, paleo, etc.). Eventually, I concluded that the raw MFZC diet is the best all-around.
For additional updated information, also see part 2 in Article 15
Part 4. Advantages Of The MFZC Diet and Pure Water (renewed on April 20, 2022)
1) After adaptation, you will not need or want to indulge in any other food.
2) Red meat, such as beef, is one of, if not the best, foods one should consume on the carnivore diet. It has the most complete and optimally balanced set of nutrients compatible with our genetic makeup.
3) Wild-caught sea fish such as salmon, mackerel, herring, etc., contain vital fatty acids, including Omega-3 and essential trace minerals (electrolytes) that terrestrial animals do not currently possess in significant enough amounts.
On an all-meat diet (i.e., a ZC diet without seafood), some of the essential trace minerals are missing entirely or partially – Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn, Mo, Se, I. Today, animals (and people) eat plants (grass, grains, etc.) grown on depleted soils, which lack these essential trace minerals. Therefore, animal flesh also lacks the vital trace minerals needed for optimal body functioning. The ocean has an abundance of electrolytes. You can rest assured that sea life has a relatively high level of trace minerals, notably more than what you’ll find in terrestrial animals.
For example, if you do not have enough of the trace element iodine (I), you may develop a goitre (an endocrine disease). In many parts of the world today, the soil, plants, and animal foodstuffs lack iodine, so people are forced to supplement with nonorganic iodine. Still, unfortunately, these supplements are very unhealthy in the long run. It is well known that in some countries, many people developed goitre centuries ago.
The benefits of adding seafood to our diet have long been known. For example, here is what Weston A Price, a famous dentist who went around the world studying the teeth of indigenous people, wrote about Indians living in the highlands of Peru: “It was, accordingly, a matter of great interest to discover that these Indians used regularly dried fish eggs from the sea. Commerce in these dried foods is carried on today as it no doubt has been for centuries. When I inquired why they used this material, they explained that it was necessary to maintain the fertility of their women. I was informed also that every exchange depot and market carried these dried fish eggs so that they were always available.” You can find this quote in chapter 15 of his book:http://gutenberg.net.au/ebooks02/0200251h.html.
4) A reasonable amount of pure water is vital for the proper biochemical reactions to take place inside our body (tea, coffee, juices, etc., can interfere with these reactions and make them more challenging to carry out). See ‘Distilled water’ in Article 2 and ‘Beverages’ in Article 4.
5) During the time you are on this diet, your diseases, from chronic cold, flu, and obesity to degenerative diseases related to aging, will gradually be cured.
Part 5. Disadvantages Of The Raw MFZC Diet (renewed on February 11, 2019)
1) Possible intolerance to some types of meat/fish. Actually, intolerance to certain foods may manifest primarily as diarrhea, constipation, or skin inflammation. It can disappear over time if it is related to changes in your intestinal microflora. But intolerance also can be linked to toxins if the animal/fish you eat is fed foods with added chemicals, antibiotics, medicines, etc. This kind of intolerance may not disappear. Also, there may be possible genetic reasons for intolerance.
2) You may experience a long adaptation period to this diet, up to several months.
3) Social get-togethers with relatives and interactions with friends may become problematic in certain situations.
Part 6. Adding Other Food To MFZC Diet (renewed on November 04, 2022)
Unfortunately, other animals, and especially most plant foods, may not be as compatible or nutritionally adequate as our bodies’ genetic requirements. Also, they may cause additional negative side effects, such as fluctuations in hormonal activity and changes in the absorption of vitamins, minerals, and other micronutrients. Some of the links provided in this article fully attest to it.
People often try to add other foods to meat and fish, but it can be more complicated than it seems. It’s somewhat familiar for folks to make the same mistake and think that all produce is chock-full of valuable vitamins, minerals, etc. In reality, they are not, since every type of (untampered or intact) food is a whole or part of a former living plant, mushroom, or animal. This means that a particular food item can naturally contain thousands of complex and chemically active substances. Some of them are beneficial, and some are useless or even harmful.
In response, the human body would need to generate thousands of different chemical reactions to digest this food, then decide whether to keep or reject these substances to maintain life and the diverse functionality of the body and brain, or simply maintain homeostasis. This is a vast, energy-intensive task for the body and all its organs. And it is especially true if you eat various foods mixed together, because the substances they’re made of interact to create new by-products, which can also decrease the absorption of some nutrients.
By the way, if you want to eat a few kinds of food together, eat them without mixing, i.e., sequentially, and they will form separate layers inside your stomach. These layers are stable and do not mix with each other, even in the intestines.

Part 4. Advantages Of The MFZC Diet and Pure Water (renewed on April 20, 2022)
1) After adaptation, you will not need or want to indulge in any other food.
2) Red meat, such as beef, is one of, if not the best, foods one should consume on the carnivore diet. It has the most complete and optimally balanced set of nutrients compatible with our genetic makeup.
3) Wild-caught sea fish such as salmon, mackerel, herring, etc., contain vital fatty acids, including Omega-3 and essential trace minerals (electrolytes) that terrestrial animals do not currently possess in significant enough amounts.
On an all-meat diet (i.e., a ZC diet without seafood), some of the essential trace minerals are missing entirely or partially – Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn, Mo, Se, I. Today, animals (and people) eat plants (grass, grains, etc.) grown on depleted soils, which lack these essential trace minerals. Therefore, animal flesh also lacks the vital trace minerals needed for optimal body functioning. The ocean has an abundance of electrolytes. You can rest assured that sea life has a relatively high level of trace minerals, notably more than what you’ll find in terrestrial animals.
For example, if you do not have enough of the trace element iodine (I), you may develop a goitre (an endocrine disease). In many parts of the world today, the soil, plants, and animal foodstuffs lack iodine, so people are forced to supplement with nonorganic iodine. Still, unfortunately, these supplements are very unhealthy in the long run. It is well known that in some countries, many people developed goitre centuries ago.
The benefits of adding seafood to our diet have long been known. For example, here is what Weston A Price, a famous dentist who went around the world studying the teeth of indigenous people, wrote about Indians living in the highlands of Peru: “It was, accordingly, a matter of great interest to discover that these Indians used regularly dried fish eggs from the sea. Commerce in these dried foods is carried on today as it no doubt has been for centuries. When I inquired why they used this material, they explained that it was necessary to maintain the fertility of their women. I was informed also that every exchange depot and market carried these dried fish eggs so that they were always available.” You can find this quote in chapter 15 of his book:http://gutenberg.net.au/ebooks02/0200251h.html.
4) A reasonable amount of pure water is vital for the proper biochemical reactions to take place inside our body (tea, coffee, juices, etc., can interfere with these reactions and make them more challenging to carry out). See ‘Distilled water’ in Article 2 and ‘Beverages’ in Article 4.
5) During the time you are on this diet, your diseases, from chronic cold, flu, and obesity to degenerative diseases related to aging, will gradually be cured.
Part 5. Disadvantages Of The Raw MFZC Diet (renewed on February 11, 2019)
1) Possible intolerance to some types of meat/fish. Actually, intolerance to certain foods may manifest primarily as diarrhea, constipation, or skin inflammation. It can disappear over time if it is related to changes in your intestinal microflora. But intolerance also can be linked to toxins if the animal/fish you eat is fed foods with added chemicals, antibiotics, medicines, etc. This kind of intolerance may not disappear. Also, there may be possible genetic reasons for intolerance.
2) You may experience a long adaptation period to this diet, up to several months.
3) Social get-togethers with relatives and interactions with friends may become problematic in certain situations.
Part 6. Adding Other Food To MFZC Diet (renewed on November 04, 2022)
Unfortunately, other animals, and especially most plant foods, may not be as compatible or nutritionally adequate as our bodies’ genetic requirements. Also, they may cause additional negative side effects, such as fluctuations in hormonal activity and changes in the absorption of vitamins, minerals, and other micronutrients. Some of the links provided in this article fully attest to it.
People often try to add other foods to meat and fish, but it can be more complicated than it seems. It’s somewhat familiar for folks to make the same mistake and think that all produce is chock-full of valuable vitamins, minerals, etc. In reality, they are not, since every type of (untampered or intact) food is a whole or part of a former living plant, mushroom, or animal. This means that a particular food item can naturally contain thousands of complex and chemically active substances. Some of them are beneficial, and some are useless or even harmful.
In response, the human body would need to generate thousands of different chemical reactions to digest this food, then decide whether to keep or reject these substances to maintain life and the diverse functionality of the body and brain, or simply maintain homeostasis. This is a vast, energy-intensive task for the body and all its organs. And it is especially true if you eat various foods mixed together, because the substances they’re made of interact to create new by-products, which can also decrease the absorption of some nutrients.
By the way, if you want to eat a few kinds of food together, eat them without mixing, i.e., sequentially, and they will form separate layers inside your stomach. These layers are stable and do not mix with each other, even in the intestines.
For more information, see the PDF file “Dr. Stanley S. Bass Sequential Eating and Food Combining. Excerpts from “Ideal Health through Sequential Eating”
I wrote several articles explaining my diet choice for people interested in diet, health, and longevity. To present my point of view, I included links to other articles in my article, confirming the actual influence of the food we ingest on our health and well-being.
This article is the result of many years of research and personal testing of various diets and their effects on my physical, emotional, and mental health (starting in 1985). A simple, zero-carb diet consisting primarily of raw meat/raw fish (MFZC) and pure water was eventually discovered to be optimal for health. I have been testing the raw MFZC diet from April 2016 to the present time, and it has not disappointed, providing an astoundingly positive impact on my overall well-being. I have concluded that this diet is definitely better than all the other diets I’ve rigorously tested on myself throughout the years.
I hope this article will be of benefit to most people, especially those with health challenges who feel their current diet is not kind to them. I publish my articles on various social networking websites, Facebook groups, and forums for educational and informational purposes, and I appreciate any comments, remarks, and constructive criticism of my work.
Part 2. Why Do People Become Sick? (renewed on April 20, 2022)
Why do initially perfectly designed human beings acquire so many diseases over the course of their lives, especially in later stages, closer to old age? Why do people age significantly more quickly and noticeably than wild animals?
The answer lies in the food we have been eating for millennia, until modern times. This is especially true with the food we consume today. Many of these foods do help us survive, but they have both short- and long-term adverse side effects.
You can read more about these detrimental ramifications in many other articles I’ve linked below, as well as in some of my published articles on the website https://rawdiets.wordpress.com/. Unfortunately, we really are what we eat. Fortunately, with the right know-how, we can use food as medicine to administer deep healing.
If you want to help yourself cure your own diseases and live without them, normalize your weight, be healthy, feel alive, have a clear mind, better memory, concentration, and better cognitive abilities during your lifetime including old age, you should consider a simple diet of primarily raw fatty meat, raw fatty sea fish (preferably wild-caught), and drink a reasonable amount of pure water.
(As mentioned in the article, ‘excess of red meat consumption may be associated with an increased incidence of colorectal and breast cancer, ‘ it is related to only cooked meat, but absolutely not to raw meat!)
From this article:
Regarding diet, the researchers found that only red meat consumption frequency was associated with telomere length. Therefore, red meat consumption appears to be related to a longer telomere length.’
The significance of telomere length is that the longer the DNA telomeres we have, the longer we live.
The article confirms statistically that the more often we eat meat, the longer we live.
Humans are similar to carnivores in many ways. For example, see this table:
Different species digest food differently when comparing which part of the intestine mainly digests: “Pictures are worth 1000 words. Human intestines digest meat easily (the small intestine); other primates specialize in plant digestion (the colon). Unlike plant-eaters, humans join dogs and cats in low fermentation (poor plant digestion). Human and dog stomachs are very similar. (@AnnChildersMD)
Zero-carb diets vary. Some include eggs and dairy, while others don’t, and yet others focus on higher-fat intake, for example. However, regardless of the ZC flavour, most people who follow these diets prefer to cook their food for at least a short time. But even a brief period over a burning fire or hot stove destroys its natural enzymes and creates many irreversible chemical reactions in the food. Heat decreases their nutritional value and the healing power of ZC diets. Moreover, cooked food generates a profound negative influence on physical, emotional, and mental health. For example, here’s an experiment about the impact of cooked food on rats: http://www.naturalnews.com/023401_rats_foods_health.html.
To this day, I continue eating a raw diet, consisting primarily of raw meat/ raw fish (MFZC) and pure water.

This is a vast, energy-intensive task for the body and all its organs. And it is especially true if you eat various foods mixed together, because the substances they’re made of interact to create new by-products, which can also decrease the absorption of some nutrients.
By the way, if you want to eat a few kinds of food together, eat them without mixing, i.e., sequentially, and they will form separate layers inside your stomach. These layers are stable and do not mix with each other, even in the intestines.

I wrote several articles explaining my diet choice for people interested in diet, health, and longevity. To present my point of view, I included links to other articles in my article, confirming the actual influence of the food we ingest on our health and well-being.
This article is the result of many years of research and personal testing of various diets and their effects on my physical, emotional, and mental health (starting in 1985). A simple, zero-carb diet consisting primarily of raw meat/raw fish (MFZC) and pure water was eventually discovered to be optimal for health. I have been testing the raw MFZC diet from April 2016 to the present time, and it has not disappointed, providing an astoundingly positive impact on my overall well-being. I have concluded that this diet is definitely better than all the other diets I’ve rigorously tested on myself throughout the years.
I hope this article will be of benefit to most people, especially those with health challenges who feel their current diet is not kind to them. I publish my articles on various social networking websites, Facebook groups, and forums for educational and informational purposes, and I appreciate any comments, remarks, and constructive criticism of my work.
Part 2. Why Do People Become Sick? (renewed on April 20, 2022)
Why do initially perfectly designed human beings acquire so many diseases over the course of their lives, especially in later stages, closer to old age? Why do people age significantly more quickly and noticeably than wild animals?
The answer lies in the food we have been eating for millennia, until modern times. This is especially true with the food we consume today. Many of these foods do help us survive, but they have both short- and long-term adverse side effects.
You can read more about these detrimental ramifications in many other articles I’ve linked below, as well as in some of my published articles on the website https://rawdiets.wordpress.com/. Unfortunately, we really are what we eat. Fortunately, with the right know-how, we can use food as medicine to administer deep healing.
If you want to help yourself cure your own diseases and live without them, normalize your weight, be healthy, feel alive, have a clear mind, better memory, concentration, and better cognitive abilities during your lifetime including old age, you should consider a simple diet of primarily raw fatty meat, raw fatty sea fish (preferably wild-caught), and drink a reasonable amount of pure water.
(As mentioned in the article, ‘excess of red meat consumption may be associated with an increased incidence of colorectal and breast cancer, ‘ it is related to only cooked meat, but absolutely not to raw meat!)
From this article:
Regarding diet, the researchers found that only red meat consumption frequency was associated with telomere length. Therefore, red meat consumption appears to be related to a longer telomere length.’
The significance of telomere length is that the longer the DNA telomeres we have, the longer we live.
The article confirms statistically that the more often we eat meat, the longer we live.
Humans are similar to carnivores in many ways. For example, see this table:
Different species digest food differently when comparing which part of the intestine mainly digests: “Pictures are worth 1000 words. Human intestines digest meat easily (the small intestine); other primates specialize in plant digestion (the colon). Unlike plant-eaters, humans join dogs and cats in low fermentation (poor plant digestion). Human and dog stomachs are very similar. (@AnnChildersMD)
Zero-carb diets vary. Some include eggs and dairy, while others don’t, and yet others focus on higher-fat intake, for example. However, regardless of the ZC flavour, most people who follow these diets prefer to cook their food for at least a short time. But even a brief period over a burning fire or hot stove destroys its natural enzymes and creates many irreversible chemical reactions in the food. Heat decreases their nutritional value and the healing power of ZC diets. Moreover, cooked food generates a profound negative influence on physical, emotional, and mental health. For example, here’s an experiment about the impact of cooked food on rats: http://www.naturalnews.com/023401_rats_foods_health.html.
To this day, I continue eating a raw diet, consisting primarily of raw meat/ raw fish (MFZC) and pure water.
Before my current diet (from November 2007 to April 2016), I tested only 100% raw food diets (high- or low-carb, primal, paleo, etc.). Eventually, I concluded that the raw MFZC diet is the best all-around.
For additional updated information, also see part 2 in Article 15
Part 4. Advantages Of The MFZC Diet and Pure Water (renewed on April 20, 2022)
1) After adaptation, you will not need or want to indulge in any other food.
2) Red meat, such as beef, is one of, if not the best, foods one should consume on the carnivore diet. It has the most complete and optimally balanced set of nutrients compatible with our genetic makeup.
3) Wild-caught sea fish such as salmon, mackerel, herring, etc., contain vital fatty acids, including Omega-3 and essential trace minerals (electrolytes) that terrestrial animals do not currently possess in significant enough amounts.
On an all-meat diet (i.e., a ZC diet without seafood), some of the essential trace minerals are missing entirely or partially – Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn, Mo, Se, I. Today, animals (and people) eat plants (grass, grains, etc.) grown on depleted soils, which lack these essential trace minerals. Therefore, animal flesh also lacks the vital trace minerals needed for optimal body functioning. The ocean has an abundance of electrolytes. You can rest assured that sea life has a relatively high level of trace minerals, notably more than what you’ll find in terrestrial animals.
For example, if you do not have enough of the trace element iodine (I), you may develop a goitre (an endocrine disease). In many parts of the world today, the soil, plants, and animal foodstuffs lack iodine, so people are forced to supplement with nonorganic iodine. Still, unfortunately, these supplements are very unhealthy in the long run. It is well known that in some countries, many people developed goitre centuries ago.
The benefits of adding seafood to our diet have long been known. For example, here is what Weston A Price, a famous dentist who went around the world studying the teeth of indigenous people, wrote about Indians living in the highlands of Peru: “It was, accordingly, a matter of great interest to discover that these Indians used regularly dried fish eggs from the sea. Commerce in these dried foods is carried on today as it no doubt has been for centuries. When I inquired why they used this material, they explained that it was necessary to maintain the fertility of their women. I was informed also that every exchange depot and market carried these dried fish eggs so that they were always available.” You can find this quote in chapter 15 of his book:http://gutenberg.net.au/ebooks02/0200251h.html.
4) A reasonable amount of pure water is vital for the proper biochemical reactions to take place inside our body (tea, coffee, juices, etc., can interfere with these reactions and make them more challenging to carry out). See ‘Distilled water’ in Article 2 and ‘Beverages’ in Article 4.
5) During the time you are on this diet, your diseases, from chronic cold, flu, and obesity to degenerative diseases related to aging, will gradually be cured.
Part 5. Disadvantages Of The Raw MFZC Diet (renewed on February 11, 2019)
1) Possible intolerance to some types of meat/fish. Actually, intolerance to certain foods may manifest primarily as diarrhea, constipation, or skin inflammation. It can disappear over time if it is related to changes in your intestinal microflora. But intolerance also can be linked to toxins if the animal/fish you eat is fed foods with added chemicals, antibiotics, medicines, etc. This kind of intolerance may not disappear. Also, there may be possible genetic reasons for intolerance.
2) You may experience a long adaptation period to this diet, up to several months.
3) Social get-togethers with relatives and interactions with friends may become problematic in certain situations.
Part 6. Adding Other Food To MFZC Diet (renewed on November 04, 2022)
Unfortunately, other animals, and especially most plant foods, may not be as compatible or nutritionally adequate as our bodies’ genetic requirements. Also, they may cause additional negative side effects, such as fluctuations in hormonal activity and changes in the absorption of vitamins, minerals, and other micronutrients. Some of the links provided in this article fully attest to it.
People often try to add other foods to meat and fish, but it can be more complicated than it seems. It’s somewhat familiar for folks to make the same mistake and think that all produce is chock-full of valuable vitamins, minerals, etc. In reality, they are not, since every type of (untampered or intact) food is a whole or part of a former living plant, mushroom, or animal. This means that a particular food item can naturally contain thousands of complex and chemically active substances. Some of them are beneficial, and some are useless or even harmful.
In response, the human body would need to generate thousands of different chemical reactions to digest this food, then decide whether to keep or reject these substances to maintain life and the diverse functionality of the body and brain, or simply maintain homeostasis. This is a vast, energy-intensive task for the body and all its organs.

Before my current diet (from November 2007 to April 2016), I tested only 100% raw food diets (high- or low-carb, primal, paleo, etc.). Eventually, I concluded that the raw MFZC diet is the best all-around.
For additional updated information, also see part 2 in Article 15
Part 4. Advantages Of The MFZC Diet and Pure Water (renewed on April 20, 2022)
1) After adaptation, you will not need or want to indulge in any other food.
2) Red meat, such as beef, is one of, if not the best, foods one should consume on the carnivore diet. It has the most complete and optimally balanced set of nutrients compatible with our genetic makeup.
3) Wild-caught sea fish such as salmon, mackerel, herring, etc., contain vital fatty acids, including Omega-3 and essential trace minerals (electrolytes) that terrestrial animals do not currently possess in significant enough amounts.
On an all-meat diet (i.e., a ZC diet without seafood), some of the essential trace minerals are missing entirely or partially – Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn, Mo, Se, I. Today, animals (and people) eat plants (grass, grains, etc.) grown on depleted soils, which lack these essential trace minerals. Therefore, animal flesh also lacks the vital trace minerals needed for optimal body functioning. The ocean has an abundance of electrolytes. You can rest assured that sea life has a relatively high level of trace minerals, notably more than what you’ll find in terrestrial animals.
For example, if you do not have enough of the trace element iodine (I), you may develop a goitre (an endocrine disease). In many parts of the world today, the soil, plants, and animal foodstuffs lack iodine, so people are forced to supplement with nonorganic iodine. Still, unfortunately, these supplements are very unhealthy in the long run. It is well known that in some countries, many people developed goitre centuries ago.
The benefits of adding seafood to our diet have long been known. For example, here is what Weston A Price, a famous dentist who went around the world studying the teeth of indigenous people, wrote about Indians living in the highlands of Peru: “It was, accordingly, a matter of great interest to discover that these Indians used regularly dried fish eggs from the sea. Commerce in these dried foods is carried on today as it no doubt has been for centuries. When I inquired why they used this material, they explained that it was necessary to maintain the fertility of their women. I was informed also that every exchange depot and market carried these dried fish eggs so that they were always available.” You can find this quote in chapter 15 of his book:http://gutenberg.net.au/ebooks02/0200251h.html.
4) A reasonable amount of pure water is vital for the proper biochemical reactions to take place inside our body (tea, coffee, juices, etc., can interfere with these reactions and make them more challenging to carry out). See ‘Distilled water’ in Article 2 and ‘Beverages’ in Article 4.
5) During the time you are on this diet, your diseases, from chronic cold, flu, and obesity to degenerative diseases related to aging, will gradually be cured.
Part 5. Disadvantages Of The Raw MFZC Diet (renewed on February 11, 2019)
1) Possible intolerance to some types of meat/fish. Actually, intolerance to certain foods may manifest primarily as diarrhea, constipation, or skin inflammation. It can disappear over time if it is related to changes in your intestinal microflora. But intolerance also can be linked to toxins if the animal/fish you eat is fed foods with added chemicals, antibiotics, medicines, etc. This kind of intolerance may not disappear. Also, there may be possible genetic reasons for intolerance.
2) You may experience a long adaptation period to this diet, up to several months.
3) Social get-togethers with relatives and interactions with friends may become problematic in certain situations.
Part 6. Adding Other Food To MFZC Diet (renewed on November 04, 2022)
Unfortunately, other animals, and especially most plant foods, may not be as compatible or nutritionally adequate as our bodies’ genetic requirements. Also, they may cause additional negative side effects, such as fluctuations in hormonal activity and changes in the absorption of vitamins, minerals, and other micronutrients. Some of the links provided in this article fully attest to it.
People often try to add other foods to meat and fish, but it can be more complicated than it seems. It’s somewhat familiar for folks to make the same mistake and think that all produce is chock-full of valuable vitamins, minerals, etc. In reality, they are not, since every type of (untampered or intact) food is a whole or part of a former living plant, mushroom, or animal. This means that a particular food item can naturally contain thousands of complex and chemically active substances. Some of them are beneficial, and some are useless or even harmful.
In response, the human body would need to generate thousands of different chemical reactions to digest this food, then decide whether to keep or reject these substances to maintain life and the diverse functionality of the body and brain, or simply maintain homeostasis. This is a vast, energy-intensive task for the body and all its organs. And it is especially true if you eat various foods mixed together, because the substances they’re made of interact to create new by-products, which can also decrease the absorption of some nutrients.
By the way, if you want to eat a few kinds of food together, eat them without mixing, i.e., sequentially, and they will form separate layers inside your stomach. These layers are stable and do not mix with each other, even in the intestines.
For more information, see the PDF file “Dr. Stanley S. Bass Sequential Eating and Food Combining. Excerpts from “Ideal Health through Sequential Eating”
I wrote several articles explaining my diet choice for people interested in diet, health, and longevity. To present my point of view, I included links to other articles in my article, confirming the actual influence of the food we ingest on our health and well-being.
This article is the result of many years of research and personal testing of various diets and their effects on my physical, emotional, and mental health (starting in 1985). A simple, zero-carb diet consisting primarily of raw meat/raw fish (MFZC) and pure water was eventually discovered to be optimal for health. I have been testing the raw MFZC diet from April 2016 to the present time, and it has not disappointed, providing an astoundingly positive impact on my overall well-being. I have concluded that this diet is definitely better than all the other diets I’ve rigorously tested on myself throughout the years.
I hope this article will be of benefit to most people, especially those with health challenges who feel their current diet is not kind to them. I publish my articles on various social networking websites, Facebook groups, and forums for educational and informational purposes, and I appreciate any comments, remarks, and constructive criticism of my work.
Part 2. Why Do People Become Sick? (renewed on April 20, 2022)
Why do initially perfectly designed human beings acquire so many diseases over the course of their lives, especially in later stages, closer to old age? Why do people age significantly more quickly and noticeably than wild animals?
The answer lies in the food we have been eating for millennia, until modern times. This is especially true with the food we consume today. Many of these foods do help us survive, but they have both short- and long-term adverse side effects.
You can read more about these detrimental ramifications in many other articles I’ve linked below, as well as in some of my published articles on the website https://rawdiets.wordpress.com/. Unfortunately, we really are what we eat. Fortunately, with the right know-how, we can use food as medicine to administer deep healing.
If you want to help yourself cure your own diseases and live without them, normalize your weight, be healthy, feel alive, have a clear mind, better memory, concentration, and better cognitive abilities during your lifetime including old age, you should consider a simple diet of primarily raw fatty meat, raw fatty sea fish (preferably wild-caught), and drink a reasonable amount of pure water.
(As mentioned in the article, ‘excess of red meat consumption may be associated with an increased incidence of colorectal and breast cancer, ‘ it is related to only cooked meat, but absolutely not to raw meat!)
From this article:
Regarding diet, the researchers found that only red meat consumption frequency was associated with telomere length. Therefore, red meat consumption appears to be related to a longer telomere length.’
The significance of telomere length is that the longer the DNA telomeres we have, the longer we live.
The article confirms statistically that the more often we eat meat, the longer we live.
Humans are similar to carnivores in many ways. For example, see this table:
Different species digest food differently when comparing which part of the intestine mainly digests: “Pictures are worth 1000 words. Human intestines digest meat easily (the small intestine); other primates specialize in plant digestion (the colon). Unlike plant-eaters, humans join dogs and cats in low fermentation (poor plant digestion). Human and dog stomachs are very similar. (@AnnChildersMD)
Zero-carb diets vary. Some include eggs and dairy, while others don’t, and yet others focus on higher-fat intake, for example. However, regardless of the ZC flavour, most people who follow these diets prefer to cook their food for at least a short time. But even a brief period over a burning fire or hot stove destroys its natural enzymes and creates many irreversible chemical reactions in the food. Heat decreases their nutritional value and the healing power of ZC diets. Moreover, cooked food generates a profound negative influence on physical, emotional, and mental health. For example, here’s an experiment about the impact of cooked food on rats: http://www.naturalnews.com/023401_rats_foods_health.html.

This means that a particular food item can naturally contain thousands of complex and chemically active substances. Some of them are beneficial, and some are useless or even harmful.
In response, the human body would need to generate thousands of different chemical reactions to digest this food, then decide whether to keep or reject these substances to maintain life and the diverse functionality of the body and brain, or simply maintain homeostasis. This is a vast, energy-intensive task for the body and all its organs. And it is especially true if you eat various foods mixed together, because the substances they’re made of interact to create new by-products, which can also decrease the absorption of some nutrients.
By the way, if you want to eat a few kinds of food together, eat them without mixing, i.e., sequentially, and they will form separate layers inside your stomach. These layers are stable and do not mix with each other, even in the intestines.

I wrote several articles explaining my diet choice for people interested in diet, health, and longevity. To present my point of view, I included links to other articles in my article, confirming the actual influence of the food we ingest on our health and well-being.
This article is the result of many years of research and personal testing of various diets and their effects on my physical, emotional, and mental health (starting in 1985). A simple, zero-carb diet consisting primarily of raw meat/raw fish (MFZC) and pure water was eventually discovered to be optimal for health. I have been testing the raw MFZC diet from April 2016 to the present time, and it has not disappointed, providing an astoundingly positive impact on my overall well-being. I have concluded that this diet is definitely better than all the other diets I’ve rigorously tested on myself throughout the years.
I hope this article will be of benefit to most people, especially those with health challenges who feel their current diet is not kind to them. I publish my articles on various social networking websites, Facebook groups, and forums for educational and informational purposes, and I appreciate any comments, remarks, and constructive criticism of my work.
Part 2. Why Do People Become Sick? (renewed on April 20, 2022)
Why do initially perfectly designed human beings acquire so many diseases over the course of their lives, especially in later stages, closer to old age? Why do people age significantly more quickly and noticeably than wild animals?
The answer lies in the food we have been eating for millennia, until modern times. This is especially true with the food we consume today. Many of these foods do help us survive, but they have both short- and long-term adverse side effects.
You can read more about these detrimental ramifications in many other articles I’ve linked below, as well as in some of my published articles on the website https://rawdiets.wordpress.com/. Unfortunately, we really are what we eat. Fortunately, with the right know-how, we can use food as medicine to administer deep healing.
If you want to help yourself cure your own diseases and live without them, normalize your weight, be healthy, feel alive, have a clear mind, better memory, concentration, and better cognitive abilities during your lifetime including old age, you should consider a simple diet of primarily raw fatty meat, raw fatty sea fish (preferably wild-caught), and drink a reasonable amount of pure water.
(As mentioned in the article, ‘excess of red meat consumption may be associated with an increased incidence of colorectal and breast cancer, ‘ it is related to only cooked meat, but absolutely not to raw meat!)
From this article:
Regarding diet, the researchers found that only red meat consumption frequency was associated with telomere length. Therefore, red meat consumption appears to be related to a longer telomere length.’
The significance of telomere length is that the longer the DNA telomeres we have, the longer we live.
The article confirms statistically that the more often we eat meat, the longer we live.
Humans are similar to carnivores in many ways. For example, see this table:
Different species digest food differently when comparing which part of the intestine mainly digests: “Pictures are worth 1000 words. Human intestines digest meat easily (the small intestine); other primates specialize in plant digestion (the colon). Unlike plant-eaters, humans join dogs and cats in low fermentation (poor plant digestion). Human and dog stomachs are very similar. (@AnnChildersMD)
Zero-carb diets vary. Some include eggs and dairy, while others don’t, and yet others focus on higher-fat intake, for example. However, regardless of the ZC flavour, most people who follow these diets prefer to cook their food for at least a short time. But even a brief period over a burning fire or hot stove destroys its natural enzymes and creates many irreversible chemical reactions in the food. Heat decreases their nutritional value and the healing power of ZC diets. Moreover, cooked food generates a profound negative influence on physical, emotional, and mental health. For example, here’s an experiment about the impact of cooked food on rats: http://www.naturalnews.com/023401_rats_foods_health.html.
To this day, I continue eating a raw diet, consisting primarily of raw meat/ raw fish (MFZC) and pure water.
Before my current diet (from November 2007 to April 2016), I tested only 100% raw food diets (high- or low-carb, primal, paleo, etc.). Eventually, I concluded that the raw MFZC diet is the best all-around.
For additional updated information, also see part 2 in Article 15
Part 4. Advantages Of The MFZC Diet and Pure Water (renewed on April 20, 2022)
1) After adaptation, you will not need or want to indulge in any other food.
2) Red meat, such as beef, is one of, if not the best, foods one should consume on the carnivore diet. It has the most complete and optimally balanced set of nutrients compatible with our genetic makeup.
3) Wild-caught sea fish such as salmon, mackerel, herring, etc., contain vital fatty acids, including Omega-3 and essential trace minerals (electrolytes) that terrestrial animals do not currently possess in significant enough amounts.
On an all-meat diet (i.e., a ZC diet without seafood), some of the essential trace minerals are missing entirely or partially – Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn, Mo, Se, I. Today, animals (and people) eat plants (grass, grains, etc.) grown on depleted soils, which lack these essential trace minerals. Therefore, animal flesh also lacks the vital trace minerals needed for optimal body functioning. The ocean has an abundance of electrolytes. You can rest assured that sea life has a relatively high level of trace minerals, notably more than what you’ll find in terrestrial animals.
For example, if you do not have enough of the trace element iodine (I), you may develop a goitre (an endocrine disease). In many parts of the world today, the soil, plants, and animal foodstuffs lack iodine, so people are forced to supplement with nonorganic iodine. Still, unfortunately, these supplements are very unhealthy in the long run. It is well known that in some countries, many people developed goitre centuries ago.
The benefits of adding seafood to our diet have long been known. For example, here is what Weston A Price, a famous dentist who went around the world studying the teeth of indigenous people, wrote about Indians living in the highlands of Peru: “It was, accordingly, a matter of great interest to discover that these Indians used regularly dried fish eggs from the sea. Commerce in these dried foods is carried on today as it no doubt has been for centuries. When I inquired why they used this material, they explained that it was necessary to maintain the fertility of their women. I was informed also that every exchange depot and market carried these dried fish eggs so that they were always available.” You can find this quote in chapter 15 of his book:http://gutenberg.net.au/ebooks02/0200251h.html.
4) A reasonable amount of pure water is vital for the proper biochemical reactions to take place inside our body (tea, coffee, juices, etc., can interfere with these reactions and make them more challenging to carry out). See ‘Distilled water’ in Article 2 and ‘Beverages’ in Article 4.
5) During the time you are on this diet, your diseases, from chronic cold, flu, and obesity to degenerative diseases related to aging, will gradually be cured.
Part 5. Disadvantages Of The Raw MFZC Diet (renewed on February 11, 2019)
1) Possible intolerance to some types of meat/fish. Actually, intolerance to certain foods may manifest primarily as diarrhea, constipation, or skin inflammation. It can disappear over time if it is related to changes in your intestinal microflora. But intolerance also can be linked to toxins if the animal/fish you eat is fed foods with added chemicals, antibiotics, medicines, etc. This kind of intolerance may not disappear. Also, there may be possible genetic reasons for intolerance.
2) You may experience a long adaptation period to this diet, up to several months.
3) Social get-togethers with relatives and interactions with friends may become problematic in certain situations.
Part 6. Adding Other Food To MFZC Diet (renewed on November 04, 2022)
Unfortunately, other animals, and especially most plant foods, may not be as compatible or nutritionally adequate as our bodies’ genetic requirements. Also, they may cause additional negative side effects, such as fluctuations in hormonal activity and changes in the absorption of vitamins, minerals, and other micronutrients. Some of the links provided in this article fully attest to it.
People often try to add other foods to meat and fish, but it can be more complicated than it seems. It’s somewhat familiar for folks to make the same mistake and think that all produce is chock-full of valuable vitamins, minerals, etc. In reality, they are not, since every type of (untampered or intact) food is a whole or part of a former living plant, mushroom, or animal. This means that a particular food item can naturally contain thousands of complex and chemically active substances. Some of them are beneficial, and some are useless or even harmful.
In response, the human body would need to generate thousands of different chemical reactions to digest this food, then decide whether to keep or reject these substances to maintain life and the diverse functionality of the body and brain, or simply maintain homeostasis.

Heat decreases their nutritional value and the healing power of ZC diets. Moreover, cooked food generates a profound negative influence on physical, emotional, and mental health. For example, here’s an experiment about the impact of cooked food on rats: http://www.naturalnews.com/023401_rats_foods_health.html.
To this day, I continue eating a raw diet, consisting primarily of raw meat/ raw fish (MFZC) and pure water.
Before my current diet (from November 2007 to April 2016), I tested only 100% raw food diets (high- or low-carb, primal, paleo, etc.). Eventually, I concluded that the raw MFZC diet is the best all-around.
For additional updated information, also see part 2 in Article 15
Part 4. Advantages Of The MFZC Diet and Pure Water (renewed on April 20, 2022)
1) After adaptation, you will not need or want to indulge in any other food.
2) Red meat, such as beef, is one of, if not the best, foods one should consume on the carnivore diet. It has the most complete and optimally balanced set of nutrients compatible with our genetic makeup.
3) Wild-caught sea fish such as salmon, mackerel, herring, etc., contain vital fatty acids, including Omega-3 and essential trace minerals (electrolytes) that terrestrial animals do not currently possess in significant enough amounts.
On an all-meat diet (i.e., a ZC diet without seafood), some of the essential trace minerals are missing entirely or partially – Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn, Mo, Se, I. Today, animals (and people) eat plants (grass, grains, etc.) grown on depleted soils, which lack these essential trace minerals. Therefore, animal flesh also lacks the vital trace minerals needed for optimal body functioning. The ocean has an abundance of electrolytes. You can rest assured that sea life has a relatively high level of trace minerals, notably more than what you’ll find in terrestrial animals.
For example, if you do not have enough of the trace element iodine (I), you may develop a goitre (an endocrine disease). In many parts of the world today, the soil, plants, and animal foodstuffs lack iodine, so people are forced to supplement with nonorganic iodine. Still, unfortunately, these supplements are very unhealthy in the long run. It is well known that in some countries, many people developed goitre centuries ago.
The benefits of adding seafood to our diet have long been known. For example, here is what Weston A Price, a famous dentist who went around the world studying the teeth of indigenous people, wrote about Indians living in the highlands of Peru: “It was, accordingly, a matter of great interest to discover that these Indians used regularly dried fish eggs from the sea. Commerce in these dried foods is carried on today as it no doubt has been for centuries. When I inquired why they used this material, they explained that it was necessary to maintain the fertility of their women. I was informed also that every exchange depot and market carried these dried fish eggs so that they were always available.” You can find this quote in chapter 15 of his book:http://gutenberg.net.au/ebooks02/0200251h.html.
4) A reasonable amount of pure water is vital for the proper biochemical reactions to take place inside our body (tea, coffee, juices, etc., can interfere with these reactions and make them more challenging to carry out). See ‘Distilled water’ in Article 2 and ‘Beverages’ in Article 4.
5) During the time you are on this diet, your diseases, from chronic cold, flu, and obesity to degenerative diseases related to aging, will gradually be cured.
Part 5. Disadvantages Of The Raw MFZC Diet (renewed on February 11, 2019)
1) Possible intolerance to some types of meat/fish. Actually, intolerance to certain foods may manifest primarily as diarrhea, constipation, or skin inflammation. It can disappear over time if it is related to changes in your intestinal microflora. But intolerance also can be linked to toxins if the animal/fish you eat is fed foods with added chemicals, antibiotics, medicines, etc. This kind of intolerance may not disappear. Also, there may be possible genetic reasons for intolerance.
2) You may experience a long adaptation period to this diet, up to several months.
3) Social get-togethers with relatives and interactions with friends may become problematic in certain situations.
Part 6. Adding Other Food To MFZC Diet (renewed on November 04, 2022)
Unfortunately, other animals, and especially most plant foods, may not be as compatible or nutritionally adequate as our bodies’ genetic requirements. Also, they may cause additional negative side effects, such as fluctuations in hormonal activity and changes in the absorption of vitamins, minerals, and other micronutrients. Some of the links provided in this article fully attest to it.
People often try to add other foods to meat and fish, but it can be more complicated than it seems. It’s somewhat familiar for folks to make the same mistake and think that all produce is chock-full of valuable vitamins, minerals, etc. In reality, they are not, since every type of (untampered or intact) food is a whole or part of a former living plant, mushroom, or animal. This means that a particular food item can naturally contain thousands of complex and chemically active substances. Some of them are beneficial, and some are useless or even harmful.
In response, the human body would need to generate thousands of different chemical reactions to digest this food, then decide whether to keep or reject these substances to maintain life and the diverse functionality of the body and brain, or simply maintain homeostasis. This is a vast, energy-intensive task for the body and all its organs. And it is especially true if you eat various foods mixed together, because the substances they’re made of interact to create new by-products, which can also decrease the absorption of some nutrients.
By the way, if you want to eat a few kinds of food together, eat them without mixing, i.e., sequentially, and they will form separate layers inside your stomach. These layers are stable and do not mix with each other, even in the intestines.
For more information, see the PDF file “Dr. Stanley S. Bass Sequential Eating and Food Combining. Excerpts from “Ideal Health through Sequential Eating”
I wrote several articles explaining my diet choice for people interested in diet, health, and longevity. To present my point of view, I included links to other articles in my article, confirming the actual influence of the food we ingest on our health and well-being.
This article is the result of many years of research and personal testing of various diets and their effects on my physical, emotional, and mental health (starting in 1985). A simple, zero-carb diet consisting primarily of raw meat/raw fish (MFZC) and pure water was eventually discovered to be optimal for health. I have been testing the raw MFZC diet from April 2016 to the present time, and it has not disappointed, providing an astoundingly positive impact on my overall well-being. I have concluded that this diet is definitely better than all the other diets I’ve rigorously tested on myself throughout the years.
I hope this article will be of benefit to most people, especially those with health challenges who feel their current diet is not kind to them. I publish my articles on various social networking websites, Facebook groups, and forums for educational and informational purposes, and I appreciate any comments, remarks, and constructive criticism of my work.
Part 2. Why Do People Become Sick? (renewed on April 20, 2022)
Why do initially perfectly designed human beings acquire so many diseases over the course of their lives, especially in later stages, closer to old age? Why do people age significantly more quickly and noticeably than wild animals?
The answer lies in the food we have been eating for millennia, until modern times. This is especially true with the food we consume today. Many of these foods do help us survive, but they have both short- and long-term adverse side effects.
You can read more about these detrimental ramifications in many other articles I’ve linked below, as well as in some of my published articles on the website https://rawdiets.wordpress.com/. Unfortunately, we really are what we eat. Fortunately, with the right know-how, we can use food as medicine to administer deep healing.
If you want to help yourself cure your own diseases and live without them, normalize your weight, be healthy, feel alive, have a clear mind, better memory, concentration, and better cognitive abilities during your lifetime including old age, you should consider a simple diet of primarily raw fatty meat, raw fatty sea fish (preferably wild-caught), and drink a reasonable amount of pure water.
(As mentioned in the article, ‘excess of red meat consumption may be associated with an increased incidence of colorectal and breast cancer, ‘ it is related to only cooked meat, but absolutely not to raw meat!)
From this article:
Regarding diet, the researchers found that only red meat consumption frequency was associated with telomere length. Therefore, red meat consumption appears to be related to a longer telomere length.’
The significance of telomere length is that the longer the DNA telomeres we have, the longer we live.
The article confirms statistically that the more often we eat meat, the longer we live.
Humans are similar to carnivores in many ways. For example, see this table:
Different species digest food differently when comparing which part of the intestine mainly digests: “Pictures are worth 1000 words. Human intestines digest meat easily (the small intestine); other primates specialize in plant digestion (the colon). Unlike plant-eaters, humans join dogs and cats in low fermentation (poor plant digestion). Human and dog stomachs are very similar. (@AnnChildersMD)
Zero-carb diets vary. Some include eggs and dairy, while others don’t, and yet others focus on higher-fat intake, for example. However, regardless of the ZC flavour, most people who follow these diets prefer to cook their food for at least a short time. But even a brief period over a burning fire or hot stove destroys its natural enzymes and creates many irreversible chemical reactions in the food. Heat decreases their nutritional value and the healing power of ZC diets. Moreover, cooked food generates a profound negative influence on physical, emotional, and mental health.

People often try to add other foods to meat and fish, but it can be more complicated than it seems. It’s somewhat familiar for folks to make the same mistake and think that all produce is chock-full of valuable vitamins, minerals, etc. In reality, they are not, since every type of (untampered or intact) food is a whole or part of a former living plant, mushroom, or animal. This means that a particular food item can naturally contain thousands of complex and chemically active substances. Some of them are beneficial, and some are useless or even harmful.
In response, the human body would need to generate thousands of different chemical reactions to digest this food, then decide whether to keep or reject these substances to maintain life and the diverse functionality of the body and brain, or simply maintain homeostasis. This is a vast, energy-intensive task for the body and all its organs. And it is especially true if you eat various foods mixed together, because the substances they’re made of interact to create new by-products, which can also decrease the absorption of some nutrients.
By the way, if you want to eat a few kinds of food together, eat them without mixing, i.e., sequentially, and they will form separate layers inside your stomach. These layers are stable and do not mix with each other, even in the intestines.

I wrote several articles explaining my diet choice for people interested in diet, health, and longevity. To present my point of view, I included links to other articles in my article, confirming the actual influence of the food we ingest on our health and well-being.
This article is the result of many years of research and personal testing of various diets and their effects on my physical, emotional, and mental health (starting in 1985). A simple, zero-carb diet consisting primarily of raw meat/raw fish (MFZC) and pure water was eventually discovered to be optimal for health. I have been testing the raw MFZC diet from April 2016 to the present time, and it has not disappointed, providing an astoundingly positive impact on my overall well-being. I have concluded that this diet is definitely better than all the other diets I’ve rigorously tested on myself throughout the years.
I hope this article will be of benefit to most people, especially those with health challenges who feel their current diet is not kind to them. I publish my articles on various social networking websites, Facebook groups, and forums for educational and informational purposes, and I appreciate any comments, remarks, and constructive criticism of my work.
Part 2. Why Do People Become Sick? (renewed on April 20, 2022)
Why do initially perfectly designed human beings acquire so many diseases over the course of their lives, especially in later stages, closer to old age? Why do people age significantly more quickly and noticeably than wild animals?
The answer lies in the food we have been eating for millennia, until modern times. This is especially true with the food we consume today. Many of these foods do help us survive, but they have both short- and long-term adverse side effects.
You can read more about these detrimental ramifications in many other articles I’ve linked below, as well as in some of my published articles on the website https://rawdiets.wordpress.com/. Unfortunately, we really are what we eat. Fortunately, with the right know-how, we can use food as medicine to administer deep healing.
If you want to help yourself cure your own diseases and live without them, normalize your weight, be healthy, feel alive, have a clear mind, better memory, concentration, and better cognitive abilities during your lifetime including old age, you should consider a simple diet of primarily raw fatty meat, raw fatty sea fish (preferably wild-caught), and drink a reasonable amount of pure water.
(As mentioned in the article, ‘excess of red meat consumption may be associated with an increased incidence of colorectal and breast cancer, ‘ it is related to only cooked meat, but absolutely not to raw meat!)
From this article:
Regarding diet, the researchers found that only red meat consumption frequency was associated with telomere length. Therefore, red meat consumption appears to be related to a longer telomere length.’
The significance of telomere length is that the longer the DNA telomeres we have, the longer we live.
The article confirms statistically that the more often we eat meat, the longer we live.
Humans are similar to carnivores in many ways. For example, see this table:
Different species digest food differently when comparing which part of the intestine mainly digests: “Pictures are worth 1000 words. Human intestines digest meat easily (the small intestine); other primates specialize in plant digestion (the colon). Unlike plant-eaters, humans join dogs and cats in low fermentation (poor plant digestion). Human and dog stomachs are very similar. (@AnnChildersMD)
Zero-carb diets vary. Some include eggs and dairy, while others don’t, and yet others focus on higher-fat intake, for example. However, regardless of the ZC flavour, most people who follow these diets prefer to cook their food for at least a short time. But even a brief period over a burning fire or hot stove destroys its natural enzymes and creates many irreversible chemical reactions in the food. Heat decreases their nutritional value and the healing power of ZC diets. Moreover, cooked food generates a profound negative influence on physical, emotional, and mental health. For example, here’s an experiment about the impact of cooked food on rats: http://www.naturalnews.com/023401_rats_foods_health.html.
To this day, I continue eating a raw diet, consisting primarily of raw meat/ raw fish (MFZC) and pure water.
Before my current diet (from November 2007 to April 2016), I tested only 100% raw food diets (high- or low-carb, primal, paleo, etc.). Eventually, I concluded that the raw MFZC diet is the best all-around.
For additional updated information, also see part 2 in Article 15
Part 4. Advantages Of The MFZC Diet and Pure Water (renewed on April 20, 2022)
1) After adaptation, you will not need or want to indulge in any other food.
2) Red meat, such as beef, is one of, if not the best, foods one should consume on the carnivore diet. It has the most complete and optimally balanced set of nutrients compatible with our genetic makeup.
3) Wild-caught sea fish such as salmon, mackerel, herring, etc., contain vital fatty acids, including Omega-3 and essential trace minerals (electrolytes) that terrestrial animals do not currently possess in significant enough amounts.
On an all-meat diet (i.e., a ZC diet without seafood), some of the essential trace minerals are missing entirely or partially – Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn, Mo, Se, I. Today, animals (and people) eat plants (grass, grains, etc.) grown on depleted soils, which lack these essential trace minerals. Therefore, animal flesh also lacks the vital trace minerals needed for optimal body functioning. The ocean has an abundance of electrolytes. You can rest assured that sea life has a relatively high level of trace minerals, notably more than what you’ll find in terrestrial animals.
For example, if you do not have enough of the trace element iodine (I), you may develop a goitre (an endocrine disease). In many parts of the world today, the soil, plants, and animal foodstuffs lack iodine, so people are forced to supplement with nonorganic iodine. Still, unfortunately, these supplements are very unhealthy in the long run. It is well known that in some countries, many people developed goitre centuries ago.
The benefits of adding seafood to our diet have long been known. For example, here is what Weston A Price, a famous dentist who went around the world studying the teeth of indigenous people, wrote about Indians living in the highlands of Peru: “It was, accordingly, a matter of great interest to discover that these Indians used regularly dried fish eggs from the sea. Commerce in these dried foods is carried on today as it no doubt has been for centuries. When I inquired why they used this material, they explained that it was necessary to maintain the fertility of their women. I was informed also that every exchange depot and market carried these dried fish eggs so that they were always available.” You can find this quote in chapter 15 of his book:http://gutenberg.net.au/ebooks02/0200251h.html.
4) A reasonable amount of pure water is vital for the proper biochemical reactions to take place inside our body (tea, coffee, juices, etc., can interfere with these reactions and make them more challenging to carry out). See ‘Distilled water’ in Article 2 and ‘Beverages’ in Article 4.
5) During the time you are on this diet, your diseases, from chronic cold, flu, and obesity to degenerative diseases related to aging, will gradually be cured.
Part 5. Disadvantages Of The Raw MFZC Diet (renewed on February 11, 2019)
1) Possible intolerance to some types of meat/fish. Actually, intolerance to certain foods may manifest primarily as diarrhea, constipation, or skin inflammation. It can disappear over time if it is related to changes in your intestinal microflora. But intolerance also can be linked to toxins if the animal/fish you eat is fed foods with added chemicals, antibiotics, medicines, etc. This kind of intolerance may not disappear. Also, there may be possible genetic reasons for intolerance.
2) You may experience a long adaptation period to this diet, up to several months.
3) Social get-togethers with relatives and interactions with friends may become problematic in certain situations.
Part 6. Adding Other Food To MFZC Diet (renewed on November 04, 2022)
Unfortunately, other animals, and especially most plant foods, may not be as compatible or nutritionally adequate as our bodies’ genetic requirements. Also, they may cause additional negative side effects, such as fluctuations in hormonal activity and changes in the absorption of vitamins, minerals, and other micronutrients. Some of the links provided in this article fully attest to it.
People often try to add other foods to meat and fish, but it can be more complicated than it seems. It’s somewhat familiar for folks to make the same mistake and think that all produce is chock-full of valuable vitamins, minerals, etc. In reality, they are not, since every type of (untampered or intact) food is a whole or part of a former living plant, mushroom, or animal. This means that a particular food item can naturally contain thousands of complex and chemically active substances. Some of them are beneficial, and some are useless or even harmful.
In response, the human body would need to generate thousands of different chemical reactions to digest this food, then decide whether to keep or reject these substances to maintain life and the diverse functionality of the body and brain, or simply maintain homeostasis.

But even a brief period over a burning fire or hot stove destroys its natural enzymes and creates many irreversible chemical reactions in the food. Heat decreases their nutritional value and the healing power of ZC diets. Moreover, cooked food generates a profound negative influence on physical, emotional, and mental health. For example, here’s an experiment about the impact of cooked food on rats: http://www.naturalnews.com/023401_rats_foods_health.html.
To this day, I continue eating a raw diet, consisting primarily of raw meat/ raw fish (MFZC) and pure water.
Before my current diet (from November 2007 to April 2016), I tested only 100% raw food diets (high- or low-carb, primal, paleo, etc.). Eventually, I concluded that the raw MFZC diet is the best all-around.
For additional updated information, also see part 2 in Article 15
Part 4. Advantages Of The MFZC Diet and Pure Water (renewed on April 20, 2022)
1) After adaptation, you will not need or want to indulge in any other food.
2) Red meat, such as beef, is one of, if not the best, foods one should consume on the carnivore diet. It has the most complete and optimally balanced set of nutrients compatible with our genetic makeup.
3) Wild-caught sea fish such as salmon, mackerel, herring, etc., contain vital fatty acids, including Omega-3 and essential trace minerals (electrolytes) that terrestrial animals do not currently possess in significant enough amounts.
On an all-meat diet (i.e., a ZC diet without seafood), some of the essential trace minerals are missing entirely or partially – Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn, Mo, Se, I. Today, animals (and people) eat plants (grass, grains, etc.) grown on depleted soils, which lack these essential trace minerals. Therefore, animal flesh also lacks the vital trace minerals needed for optimal body functioning. The ocean has an abundance of electrolytes. You can rest assured that sea life has a relatively high level of trace minerals, notably more than what you’ll find in terrestrial animals.
For example, if you do not have enough of the trace element iodine (I), you may develop a goitre (an endocrine disease). In many parts of the world today, the soil, plants, and animal foodstuffs lack iodine, so people are forced to supplement with nonorganic iodine. Still, unfortunately, these supplements are very unhealthy in the long run. It is well known that in some countries, many people developed goitre centuries ago.
The benefits of adding seafood to our diet have long been known. For example, here is what Weston A Price, a famous dentist who went around the world studying the teeth of indigenous people, wrote about Indians living in the highlands of Peru: “It was, accordingly, a matter of great interest to discover that these Indians used regularly dried fish eggs from the sea. Commerce in these dried foods is carried on today as it no doubt has been for centuries. When I inquired why they used this material, they explained that it was necessary to maintain the fertility of their women. I was informed also that every exchange depot and market carried these dried fish eggs so that they were always available.” You can find this quote in chapter 15 of his book:http://gutenberg.net.au/ebooks02/0200251h.html.
4) A reasonable amount of pure water is vital for the proper biochemical reactions to take place inside our body (tea, coffee, juices, etc., can interfere with these reactions and make them more challenging to carry out). See ‘Distilled water’ in Article 2 and ‘Beverages’ in Article 4.
5) During the time you are on this diet, your diseases, from chronic cold, flu, and obesity to degenerative diseases related to aging, will gradually be cured.
Part 5. Disadvantages Of The Raw MFZC Diet (renewed on February 11, 2019)
1) Possible intolerance to some types of meat/fish. Actually, intolerance to certain foods may manifest primarily as diarrhea, constipation, or skin inflammation. It can disappear over time if it is related to changes in your intestinal microflora. But intolerance also can be linked to toxins if the animal/fish you eat is fed foods with added chemicals, antibiotics, medicines, etc. This kind of intolerance may not disappear. Also, there may be possible genetic reasons for intolerance.
2) You may experience a long adaptation period to this diet, up to several months.
3) Social get-togethers with relatives and interactions with friends may become problematic in certain situations.
Part 6. Adding Other Food To MFZC Diet (renewed on November 04, 2022)
Unfortunately, other animals, and especially most plant foods, may not be as compatible or nutritionally adequate as our bodies’ genetic requirements. Also, they may cause additional negative side effects, such as fluctuations in hormonal activity and changes in the absorption of vitamins, minerals, and other micronutrients. Some of the links provided in this article fully attest to it.
People often try to add other foods to meat and fish, but it can be more complicated than it seems. It’s somewhat familiar for folks to make the same mistake and think that all produce is chock-full of valuable vitamins, minerals, etc. In reality, they are not, since every type of (untampered or intact) food is a whole or part of a former living plant, mushroom, or animal. This means that a particular food item can naturally contain thousands of complex and chemically active substances. Some of them are beneficial, and some are useless or even harmful.
In response, the human body would need to generate thousands of different chemical reactions to digest this food, then decide whether to keep or reject these substances to maintain life and the diverse functionality of the body and brain, or simply maintain homeostasis. This is a vast, energy-intensive task for the body and all its organs. And it is especially true if you eat various foods mixed together, because the substances they’re made of interact to create new by-products, which can also decrease the absorption of some nutrients.
By the way, if you want to eat a few kinds of food together, eat them without mixing, i.e., sequentially, and they will form separate layers inside your stomach. These layers are stable and do not mix with each other, even in the intestines.
For more information, see the PDF file “Dr. Stanley S. Bass Sequential Eating and Food Combining. Excerpts from “Ideal Health through Sequential Eating”
I wrote several articles explaining my diet choice for people interested in diet, health, and longevity. To present my point of view, I included links to other articles in my article, confirming the actual influence of the food we ingest on our health and well-being.
This article is the result of many years of research and personal testing of various diets and their effects on my physical, emotional, and mental health (starting in 1985). A simple, zero-carb diet consisting primarily of raw meat/raw fish (MFZC) and pure water was eventually discovered to be optimal for health. I have been testing the raw MFZC diet from April 2016 to the present time, and it has not disappointed, providing an astoundingly positive impact on my overall well-being. I have concluded that this diet is definitely better than all the other diets I’ve rigorously tested on myself throughout the years.
I hope this article will be of benefit to most people, especially those with health challenges who feel their current diet is not kind to them. I publish my articles on various social networking websites, Facebook groups, and forums for educational and informational purposes, and I appreciate any comments, remarks, and constructive criticism of my work.
Part 2. Why Do People Become Sick? (renewed on April 20, 2022)
Why do initially perfectly designed human beings acquire so many diseases over the course of their lives, especially in later stages, closer to old age? Why do people age significantly more quickly and noticeably than wild animals?
The answer lies in the food we have been eating for millennia, until modern times. This is especially true with the food we consume today. Many of these foods do help us survive, but they have both short- and long-term adverse side effects.
You can read more about these detrimental ramifications in many other articles I’ve linked below, as well as in some of my published articles on the website https://rawdiets.wordpress.com/. Unfortunately, we really are what we eat. Fortunately, with the right know-how, we can use food as medicine to administer deep healing.
If you want to help yourself cure your own diseases and live without them, normalize your weight, be healthy, feel alive, have a clear mind, better memory, concentration, and better cognitive abilities during your lifetime including old age, you should consider a simple diet of primarily raw fatty meat, raw fatty sea fish (preferably wild-caught), and drink a reasonable amount of pure water.
(As mentioned in the article, ‘excess of red meat consumption may be associated with an increased incidence of colorectal and breast cancer, ‘ it is related to only cooked meat, but absolutely not to raw meat!)
From this article:
Regarding diet, the researchers found that only red meat consumption frequency was associated with telomere length. Therefore, red meat consumption appears to be related to a longer telomere length.’
The significance of telomere length is that the longer the DNA telomeres we have, the longer we live.
The article confirms statistically that the more often we eat meat, the longer we live.
Humans are similar to carnivores in many ways. For example, see this table:
Different species digest food differently when comparing which part of the intestine mainly digests: “Pictures are worth 1000 words. Human intestines digest meat easily (the small intestine); other primates specialize in plant digestion (the colon). Unlike plant-eaters, humans join dogs and cats in low fermentation (poor plant digestion). Human and dog stomachs are very similar. (@AnnChildersMD)
Zero-carb diets vary. Some include eggs and dairy, while others don’t, and yet others focus on higher-fat intake, for example.

Some of the links provided in this article fully attest to it.
People often try to add other foods to meat and fish, but it can be more complicated than it seems. It’s somewhat familiar for folks to make the same mistake and think that all produce is chock-full of valuable vitamins, minerals, etc. In reality, they are not, since every type of (untampered or intact) food is a whole or part of a former living plant, mushroom, or animal. This means that a particular food item can naturally contain thousands of complex and chemically active substances. Some of them are beneficial, and some are useless or even harmful.
In response, the human body would need to generate thousands of different chemical reactions to digest this food, then decide whether to keep or reject these substances to maintain life and the diverse functionality of the body and brain, or simply maintain homeostasis. This is a vast, energy-intensive task for the body and all its organs. And it is especially true if you eat various foods mixed together, because the substances they’re made of interact to create new by-products, which can also decrease the absorption of some nutrients.
By the way, if you want to eat a few kinds of food together, eat them without mixing, i.e., sequentially, and they will form separate layers inside your stomach. These layers are stable and do not mix with each other, even in the intestines.

I wrote several articles explaining my diet choice for people interested in diet, health, and longevity. To present my point of view, I included links to other articles in my article, confirming the actual influence of the food we ingest on our health and well-being.
This article is the result of many years of research and personal testing of various diets and their effects on my physical, emotional, and mental health (starting in 1985). A simple, zero-carb diet consisting primarily of raw meat/raw fish (MFZC) and pure water was eventually discovered to be optimal for health. I have been testing the raw MFZC diet from April 2016 to the present time, and it has not disappointed, providing an astoundingly positive impact on my overall well-being. I have concluded that this diet is definitely better than all the other diets I’ve rigorously tested on myself throughout the years.
I hope this article will be of benefit to most people, especially those with health challenges who feel their current diet is not kind to them. I publish my articles on various social networking websites, Facebook groups, and forums for educational and informational purposes, and I appreciate any comments, remarks, and constructive criticism of my work.
Part 2. Why Do People Become Sick? (renewed on April 20, 2022)
Why do initially perfectly designed human beings acquire so many diseases over the course of their lives, especially in later stages, closer to old age? Why do people age significantly more quickly and noticeably than wild animals?
The answer lies in the food we have been eating for millennia, until modern times. This is especially true with the food we consume today. Many of these foods do help us survive, but they have both short- and long-term adverse side effects.
You can read more about these detrimental ramifications in many other articles I’ve linked below, as well as in some of my published articles on the website https://rawdiets.wordpress.com/. Unfortunately, we really are what we eat. Fortunately, with the right know-how, we can use food as medicine to administer deep healing.
If you want to help yourself cure your own diseases and live without them, normalize your weight, be healthy, feel alive, have a clear mind, better memory, concentration, and better cognitive abilities during your lifetime including old age, you should consider a simple diet of primarily raw fatty meat, raw fatty sea fish (preferably wild-caught), and drink a reasonable amount of pure water.
(As mentioned in the article, ‘excess of red meat consumption may be associated with an increased incidence of colorectal and breast cancer, ‘ it is related to only cooked meat, but absolutely not to raw meat!)
From this article:
Regarding diet, the researchers found that only red meat consumption frequency was associated with telomere length. Therefore, red meat consumption appears to be related to a longer telomere length.’
The significance of telomere length is that the longer the DNA telomeres we have, the longer we live.
The article confirms statistically that the more often we eat meat, the longer we live.
Humans are similar to carnivores in many ways. For example, see this table:
Different species digest food differently when comparing which part of the intestine mainly digests: “Pictures are worth 1000 words. Human intestines digest meat easily (the small intestine); other primates specialize in plant digestion (the colon). Unlike plant-eaters, humans join dogs and cats in low fermentation (poor plant digestion). Human and dog stomachs are very similar. (@AnnChildersMD)
Zero-carb diets vary. Some include eggs and dairy, while others don’t, and yet others focus on higher-fat intake, for example. However, regardless of the ZC flavour, most people who follow these diets prefer to cook their food for at least a short time. But even a brief period over a burning fire or hot stove destroys its natural enzymes and creates many irreversible chemical reactions in the food. Heat decreases their nutritional value and the healing power of ZC diets. Moreover, cooked food generates a profound negative influence on physical, emotional, and mental health. For example, here’s an experiment about the impact of cooked food on rats: http://www.naturalnews.com/023401_rats_foods_health.html.
To this day, I continue eating a raw diet, consisting primarily of raw meat/ raw fish (MFZC) and pure water.
Before my current diet (from November 2007 to April 2016), I tested only 100% raw food diets (high- or low-carb, primal, paleo, etc.). Eventually, I concluded that the raw MFZC diet is the best all-around.
For additional updated information, also see part 2 in Article 15
Part 4. Advantages Of The MFZC Diet and Pure Water (renewed on April 20, 2022)
1) After adaptation, you will not need or want to indulge in any other food.
2) Red meat, such as beef, is one of, if not the best, foods one should consume on the carnivore diet. It has the most complete and optimally balanced set of nutrients compatible with our genetic makeup.
3) Wild-caught sea fish such as salmon, mackerel, herring, etc., contain vital fatty acids, including Omega-3 and essential trace minerals (electrolytes) that terrestrial animals do not currently possess in significant enough amounts.
On an all-meat diet (i.e., a ZC diet without seafood), some of the essential trace minerals are missing entirely or partially – Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn, Mo, Se, I. Today, animals (and people) eat plants (grass, grains, etc.) grown on depleted soils, which lack these essential trace minerals. Therefore, animal flesh also lacks the vital trace minerals needed for optimal body functioning. The ocean has an abundance of electrolytes. You can rest assured that sea life has a relatively high level of trace minerals, notably more than what you’ll find in terrestrial animals.
For example, if you do not have enough of the trace element iodine (I), you may develop a goitre (an endocrine disease). In many parts of the world today, the soil, plants, and animal foodstuffs lack iodine, so people are forced to supplement with nonorganic iodine. Still, unfortunately, these supplements are very unhealthy in the long run. It is well known that in some countries, many people developed goitre centuries ago.
The benefits of adding seafood to our diet have long been known. For example, here is what Weston A Price, a famous dentist who went around the world studying the teeth of indigenous people, wrote about Indians living in the highlands of Peru: “It was, accordingly, a matter of great interest to discover that these Indians used regularly dried fish eggs from the sea. Commerce in these dried foods is carried on today as it no doubt has been for centuries. When I inquired why they used this material, they explained that it was necessary to maintain the fertility of their women. I was informed also that every exchange depot and market carried these dried fish eggs so that they were always available.” You can find this quote in chapter 15 of his book:http://gutenberg.net.au/ebooks02/0200251h.html.
4) A reasonable amount of pure water is vital for the proper biochemical reactions to take place inside our body (tea, coffee, juices, etc., can interfere with these reactions and make them more challenging to carry out). See ‘Distilled water’ in Article 2 and ‘Beverages’ in Article 4.
5) During the time you are on this diet, your diseases, from chronic cold, flu, and obesity to degenerative diseases related to aging, will gradually be cured.
Part 5. Disadvantages Of The Raw MFZC Diet (renewed on February 11, 2019)
1) Possible intolerance to some types of meat/fish. Actually, intolerance to certain foods may manifest primarily as diarrhea, constipation, or skin inflammation. It can disappear over time if it is related to changes in your intestinal microflora. But intolerance also can be linked to toxins if the animal/fish you eat is fed foods with added chemicals, antibiotics, medicines, etc. This kind of intolerance may not disappear. Also, there may be possible genetic reasons for intolerance.
2) You may experience a long adaptation period to this diet, up to several months.
3) Social get-togethers with relatives and interactions with friends may become problematic in certain situations.
Part 6. Adding Other Food To MFZC Diet (renewed on November 04, 2022)
Unfortunately, other animals, and especially most plant foods, may not be as compatible or nutritionally adequate as our bodies’ genetic requirements. Also, they may cause additional negative side effects, such as fluctuations in hormonal activity and changes in the absorption of vitamins, minerals, and other micronutrients. Some of the links provided in this article fully attest to it.

However, regardless of the ZC flavour, most people who follow these diets prefer to cook their food for at least a short time. But even a brief period over a burning fire or hot stove destroys its natural enzymes and creates many irreversible chemical reactions in the food. Heat decreases their nutritional value and the healing power of ZC diets. Moreover, cooked food generates a profound negative influence on physical, emotional, and mental health. For example, here’s an experiment about the impact of cooked food on rats: http://www.naturalnews.com/023401_rats_foods_health.html.
To this day, I continue eating a raw diet, consisting primarily of raw meat/ raw fish (MFZC) and pure water.
Before my current diet (from November 2007 to April 2016), I tested only 100% raw food diets (high- or low-carb, primal, paleo, etc.). Eventually, I concluded that the raw MFZC diet is the best all-around.
For additional updated information, also see part 2 in Article 15
Part 4. Advantages Of The MFZC Diet and Pure Water (renewed on April 20, 2022)
1) After adaptation, you will not need or want to indulge in any other food.
2) Red meat, such as beef, is one of, if not the best, foods one should consume on the carnivore diet. It has the most complete and optimally balanced set of nutrients compatible with our genetic makeup.
3) Wild-caught sea fish such as salmon, mackerel, herring, etc., contain vital fatty acids, including Omega-3 and essential trace minerals (electrolytes) that terrestrial animals do not currently possess in significant enough amounts.
On an all-meat diet (i.e., a ZC diet without seafood), some of the essential trace minerals are missing entirely or partially – Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn, Mo, Se, I. Today, animals (and people) eat plants (grass, grains, etc.) grown on depleted soils, which lack these essential trace minerals. Therefore, animal flesh also lacks the vital trace minerals needed for optimal body functioning. The ocean has an abundance of electrolytes. You can rest assured that sea life has a relatively high level of trace minerals, notably more than what you’ll find in terrestrial animals.
For example, if you do not have enough of the trace element iodine (I), you may develop a goitre (an endocrine disease). In many parts of the world today, the soil, plants, and animal foodstuffs lack iodine, so people are forced to supplement with nonorganic iodine. Still, unfortunately, these supplements are very unhealthy in the long run. It is well known that in some countries, many people developed goitre centuries ago.
The benefits of adding seafood to our diet have long been known. For example, here is what Weston A Price, a famous dentist who went around the world studying the teeth of indigenous people, wrote about Indians living in the highlands of Peru: “It was, accordingly, a matter of great interest to discover that these Indians used regularly dried fish eggs from the sea. Commerce in these dried foods is carried on today as it no doubt has been for centuries. When I inquired why they used this material, they explained that it was necessary to maintain the fertility of their women. I was informed also that every exchange depot and market carried these dried fish eggs so that they were always available.” You can find this quote in chapter 15 of his book:http://gutenberg.net.au/ebooks02/0200251h.html.
4) A reasonable amount of pure water is vital for the proper biochemical reactions to take place inside our body (tea, coffee, juices, etc., can interfere with these reactions and make them more challenging to carry out). See ‘Distilled water’ in Article 2 and ‘Beverages’ in Article 4.
5) During the time you are on this diet, your diseases, from chronic cold, flu, and obesity to degenerative diseases related to aging, will gradually be cured.
Part 5. Disadvantages Of The Raw MFZC Diet (renewed on February 11, 2019)
1) Possible intolerance to some types of meat/fish. Actually, intolerance to certain foods may manifest primarily as diarrhea, constipation, or skin inflammation. It can disappear over time if it is related to changes in your intestinal microflora. But intolerance also can be linked to toxins if the animal/fish you eat is fed foods with added chemicals, antibiotics, medicines, etc. This kind of intolerance may not disappear. Also, there may be possible genetic reasons for intolerance.
2) You may experience a long adaptation period to this diet, up to several months.
3) Social get-togethers with relatives and interactions with friends may become problematic in certain situations.
Part 6. Adding Other Food To MFZC Diet (renewed on November 04, 2022)
Unfortunately, other animals, and especially most plant foods, may not be as compatible or nutritionally adequate as our bodies’ genetic requirements. Also, they may cause additional negative side effects, such as fluctuations in hormonal activity and changes in the absorption of vitamins, minerals, and other micronutrients. Some of the links provided in this article fully attest to it.
People often try to add other foods to meat and fish, but it can be more complicated than it seems. It’s somewhat familiar for folks to make the same mistake and think that all produce is chock-full of valuable vitamins, minerals, etc. In reality, they are not, since every type of (untampered or intact) food is a whole or part of a former living plant, mushroom, or animal. This means that a particular food item can naturally contain thousands of complex and chemically active substances. Some of them are beneficial, and some are useless or even harmful.
In response, the human body would need to generate thousands of different chemical reactions to digest this food, then decide whether to keep or reject these substances to maintain life and the diverse functionality of the body and brain, or simply maintain homeostasis. This is a vast, energy-intensive task for the body and all its organs. And it is especially true if you eat various foods mixed together, because the substances they’re made of interact to create new by-products, which can also decrease the absorption of some nutrients.
By the way, if you want to eat a few kinds of food together, eat them without mixing, i.e., sequentially, and they will form separate layers inside your stomach. These layers are stable and do not mix with each other, even in the intestines.
For more information, see the PDF file “Dr. Stanley S. Bass Sequential Eating and Food Combining. Excerpts from “Ideal Health through Sequential Eating”
I wrote several articles explaining my diet choice for people interested in diet, health, and longevity. To present my point of view, I included links to other articles in my article, confirming the actual influence of the food we ingest on our health and well-being.
This article is the result of many years of research and personal testing of various diets and their effects on my physical, emotional, and mental health (starting in 1985). A simple, zero-carb diet consisting primarily of raw meat/raw fish (MFZC) and pure water was eventually discovered to be optimal for health. I have been testing the raw MFZC diet from April 2016 to the present time, and it has not disappointed, providing an astoundingly positive impact on my overall well-being. I have concluded that this diet is definitely better than all the other diets I’ve rigorously tested on myself throughout the years.
I hope this article will be of benefit to most people, especially those with health challenges who feel their current diet is not kind to them. I publish my articles on various social networking websites, Facebook groups, and forums for educational and informational purposes, and I appreciate any comments, remarks, and constructive criticism of my work.
Part 2. Why Do People Become Sick? (renewed on April 20, 2022)
Why do initially perfectly designed human beings acquire so many diseases over the course of their lives, especially in later stages, closer to old age? Why do people age significantly more quickly and noticeably than wild animals?
The answer lies in the food we have been eating for millennia, until modern times. This is especially true with the food we consume today. Many of these foods do help us survive, but they have both short- and long-term adverse side effects.
You can read more about these detrimental ramifications in many other articles I’ve linked below, as well as in some of my published articles on the website https://rawdiets.wordpress.com/. Unfortunately, we really are what we eat. Fortunately, with the right know-how, we can use food as medicine to administer deep healing.
If you want to help yourself cure your own diseases and live without them, normalize your weight, be healthy, feel alive, have a clear mind, better memory, concentration, and better cognitive abilities during your lifetime including old age, you should consider a simple diet of primarily raw fatty meat, raw fatty sea fish (preferably wild-caught), and drink a reasonable amount of pure water.
(As mentioned in the article, ‘excess of red meat consumption may be associated with an increased incidence of colorectal and breast cancer, ‘ it is related to only cooked meat, but absolutely not to raw meat!)
From this article:
Regarding diet, the researchers found that only red meat consumption frequency was associated with telomere length. Therefore, red meat consumption appears to be related to a longer telomere length.’
The significance of telomere length is that the longer the DNA telomeres we have, the longer we live.
The article confirms statistically that the more often we eat meat, the longer we live.
Humans are similar to carnivores in many ways. For example, see this table:
Different species digest food differently when comparing which part of the intestine mainly digests: “Pictures are worth 1000 words. Human intestines digest meat easily (the small intestine); other primates specialize in plant digestion (the colon). Unlike plant-eaters, humans join dogs and cats in low fermentation (poor plant digestion). Human and dog stomachs are very similar. (@AnnChildersMD)

Also, they may cause additional negative side effects, such as fluctuations in hormonal activity and changes in the absorption of vitamins, minerals, and other micronutrients. Some of the links provided in this article fully attest to it.
People often try to add other foods to meat and fish, but it can be more complicated than it seems. It’s somewhat familiar for folks to make the same mistake and think that all produce is chock-full of valuable vitamins, minerals, etc. In reality, they are not, since every type of (untampered or intact) food is a whole or part of a former living plant, mushroom, or animal. This means that a particular food item can naturally contain thousands of complex and chemically active substances. Some of them are beneficial, and some are useless or even harmful.
In response, the human body would need to generate thousands of different chemical reactions to digest this food, then decide whether to keep or reject these substances to maintain life and the diverse functionality of the body and brain, or simply maintain homeostasis. This is a vast, energy-intensive task for the body and all its organs. And it is especially true if you eat various foods mixed together, because the substances they’re made of interact to create new by-products, which can also decrease the absorption of some nutrients.
By the way, if you want to eat a few kinds of food together, eat them without mixing, i.e., sequentially, and they will form separate layers inside your stomach. These layers are stable and do not mix with each other, even in the intestines.

I wrote several articles explaining my diet choice for people interested in diet, health, and longevity. To present my point of view, I included links to other articles in my article, confirming the actual influence of the food we ingest on our health and well-being.
This article is the result of many years of research and personal testing of various diets and their effects on my physical, emotional, and mental health (starting in 1985). A simple, zero-carb diet consisting primarily of raw meat/raw fish (MFZC) and pure water was eventually discovered to be optimal for health. I have been testing the raw MFZC diet from April 2016 to the present time, and it has not disappointed, providing an astoundingly positive impact on my overall well-being. I have concluded that this diet is definitely better than all the other diets I’ve rigorously tested on myself throughout the years.
I hope this article will be of benefit to most people, especially those with health challenges who feel their current diet is not kind to them. I publish my articles on various social networking websites, Facebook groups, and forums for educational and informational purposes, and I appreciate any comments, remarks, and constructive criticism of my work.
Part 2. Why Do People Become Sick? (renewed on April 20, 2022)
Why do initially perfectly designed human beings acquire so many diseases over the course of their lives, especially in later stages, closer to old age? Why do people age significantly more quickly and noticeably than wild animals?
The answer lies in the food we have been eating for millennia, until modern times. This is especially true with the food we consume today. Many of these foods do help us survive, but they have both short- and long-term adverse side effects.
You can read more about these detrimental ramifications in many other articles I’ve linked below, as well as in some of my published articles on the website https://rawdiets.wordpress.com/. Unfortunately, we really are what we eat. Fortunately, with the right know-how, we can use food as medicine to administer deep healing.
If you want to help yourself cure your own diseases and live without them, normalize your weight, be healthy, feel alive, have a clear mind, better memory, concentration, and better cognitive abilities during your lifetime including old age, you should consider a simple diet of primarily raw fatty meat, raw fatty sea fish (preferably wild-caught), and drink a reasonable amount of pure water.
(As mentioned in the article, ‘excess of red meat consumption may be associated with an increased incidence of colorectal and breast cancer, ‘ it is related to only cooked meat, but absolutely not to raw meat!)
From this article:
Regarding diet, the researchers found that only red meat consumption frequency was associated with telomere length. Therefore, red meat consumption appears to be related to a longer telomere length.’
The significance of telomere length is that the longer the DNA telomeres we have, the longer we live.
The article confirms statistically that the more often we eat meat, the longer we live.
Humans are similar to carnivores in many ways. For example, see this table:
Different species digest food differently when comparing which part of the intestine mainly digests: “Pictures are worth 1000 words. Human intestines digest meat easily (the small intestine); other primates specialize in plant digestion (the colon). Unlike plant-eaters, humans join dogs and cats in low fermentation (poor plant digestion). Human and dog stomachs are very similar. (@AnnChildersMD)
Zero-carb diets vary. Some include eggs and dairy, while others don’t, and yet others focus on higher-fat intake, for example. However, regardless of the ZC flavour, most people who follow these diets prefer to cook their food for at least a short time. But even a brief period over a burning fire or hot stove destroys its natural enzymes and creates many irreversible chemical reactions in the food. Heat decreases their nutritional value and the healing power of ZC diets. Moreover, cooked food generates a profound negative influence on physical, emotional, and mental health. For example, here’s an experiment about the impact of cooked food on rats: http://www.naturalnews.com/023401_rats_foods_health.html.
To this day, I continue eating a raw diet, consisting primarily of raw meat/ raw fish (MFZC) and pure water.
Before my current diet (from November 2007 to April 2016), I tested only 100% raw food diets (high- or low-carb, primal, paleo, etc.). Eventually, I concluded that the raw MFZC diet is the best all-around.
For additional updated information, also see part 2 in Article 15
Part 4. Advantages Of The MFZC Diet and Pure Water (renewed on April 20, 2022)
1) After adaptation, you will not need or want to indulge in any other food.
2) Red meat, such as beef, is one of, if not the best, foods one should consume on the carnivore diet. It has the most complete and optimally balanced set of nutrients compatible with our genetic makeup.
3) Wild-caught sea fish such as salmon, mackerel, herring, etc., contain vital fatty acids, including Omega-3 and essential trace minerals (electrolytes) that terrestrial animals do not currently possess in significant enough amounts.
On an all-meat diet (i.e., a ZC diet without seafood), some of the essential trace minerals are missing entirely or partially – Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn, Mo, Se, I. Today, animals (and people) eat plants (grass, grains, etc.) grown on depleted soils, which lack these essential trace minerals. Therefore, animal flesh also lacks the vital trace minerals needed for optimal body functioning. The ocean has an abundance of electrolytes. You can rest assured that sea life has a relatively high level of trace minerals, notably more than what you’ll find in terrestrial animals.
For example, if you do not have enough of the trace element iodine (I), you may develop a goitre (an endocrine disease). In many parts of the world today, the soil, plants, and animal foodstuffs lack iodine, so people are forced to supplement with nonorganic iodine. Still, unfortunately, these supplements are very unhealthy in the long run. It is well known that in some countries, many people developed goitre centuries ago.
The benefits of adding seafood to our diet have long been known. For example, here is what Weston A Price, a famous dentist who went around the world studying the teeth of indigenous people, wrote about Indians living in the highlands of Peru: “It was, accordingly, a matter of great interest to discover that these Indians used regularly dried fish eggs from the sea. Commerce in these dried foods is carried on today as it no doubt has been for centuries. When I inquired why they used this material, they explained that it was necessary to maintain the fertility of their women. I was informed also that every exchange depot and market carried these dried fish eggs so that they were always available.” You can find this quote in chapter 15 of his book:http://gutenberg.net.au/ebooks02/0200251h.html.
4) A reasonable amount of pure water is vital for the proper biochemical reactions to take place inside our body (tea, coffee, juices, etc., can interfere with these reactions and make them more challenging to carry out). See ‘Distilled water’ in Article 2 and ‘Beverages’ in Article 4.
5) During the time you are on this diet, your diseases, from chronic cold, flu, and obesity to degenerative diseases related to aging, will gradually be cured.
Part 5. Disadvantages Of The Raw MFZC Diet (renewed on February 11, 2019)
1) Possible intolerance to some types of meat/fish. Actually, intolerance to certain foods may manifest primarily as diarrhea, constipation, or skin inflammation. It can disappear over time if it is related to changes in your intestinal microflora. But intolerance also can be linked to toxins if the animal/fish you eat is fed foods with added chemicals, antibiotics, medicines, etc. This kind of intolerance may not disappear. Also, there may be possible genetic reasons for intolerance.
2) You may experience a long adaptation period to this diet, up to several months.
3) Social get-togethers with relatives and interactions with friends may become problematic in certain situations.

Zero-carb diets vary. Some include eggs and dairy, while others don’t, and yet others focus on higher-fat intake, for example. However, regardless of the ZC flavour, most people who follow these diets prefer to cook their food for at least a short time. But even a brief period over a burning fire or hot stove destroys its natural enzymes and creates many irreversible chemical reactions in the food. Heat decreases their nutritional value and the healing power of ZC diets. Moreover, cooked food generates a profound negative influence on physical, emotional, and mental health. For example, here’s an experiment about the impact of cooked food on rats: http://www.naturalnews.com/023401_rats_foods_health.html.
To this day, I continue eating a raw diet, consisting primarily of raw meat/ raw fish (MFZC) and pure water.
Before my current diet (from November 2007 to April 2016), I tested only 100% raw food diets (high- or low-carb, primal, paleo, etc.). Eventually, I concluded that the raw MFZC diet is the best all-around.
For additional updated information, also see part 2 in Article 15
Part 4. Advantages Of The MFZC Diet and Pure Water (renewed on April 20, 2022)
1) After adaptation, you will not need or want to indulge in any other food.
2) Red meat, such as beef, is one of, if not the best, foods one should consume on the carnivore diet. It has the most complete and optimally balanced set of nutrients compatible with our genetic makeup.
3) Wild-caught sea fish such as salmon, mackerel, herring, etc., contain vital fatty acids, including Omega-3 and essential trace minerals (electrolytes) that terrestrial animals do not currently possess in significant enough amounts.
On an all-meat diet (i.e., a ZC diet without seafood), some of the essential trace minerals are missing entirely or partially – Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn, Mo, Se, I. Today, animals (and people) eat plants (grass, grains, etc.) grown on depleted soils, which lack these essential trace minerals. Therefore, animal flesh also lacks the vital trace minerals needed for optimal body functioning. The ocean has an abundance of electrolytes. You can rest assured that sea life has a relatively high level of trace minerals, notably more than what you’ll find in terrestrial animals.
For example, if you do not have enough of the trace element iodine (I), you may develop a goitre (an endocrine disease). In many parts of the world today, the soil, plants, and animal foodstuffs lack iodine, so people are forced to supplement with nonorganic iodine. Still, unfortunately, these supplements are very unhealthy in the long run. It is well known that in some countries, many people developed goitre centuries ago.
The benefits of adding seafood to our diet have long been known. For example, here is what Weston A Price, a famous dentist who went around the world studying the teeth of indigenous people, wrote about Indians living in the highlands of Peru: “It was, accordingly, a matter of great interest to discover that these Indians used regularly dried fish eggs from the sea. Commerce in these dried foods is carried on today as it no doubt has been for centuries. When I inquired why they used this material, they explained that it was necessary to maintain the fertility of their women. I was informed also that every exchange depot and market carried these dried fish eggs so that they were always available.” You can find this quote in chapter 15 of his book:http://gutenberg.net.au/ebooks02/0200251h.html.
4) A reasonable amount of pure water is vital for the proper biochemical reactions to take place inside our body (tea, coffee, juices, etc., can interfere with these reactions and make them more challenging to carry out). See ‘Distilled water’ in Article 2 and ‘Beverages’ in Article 4.
5) During the time you are on this diet, your diseases, from chronic cold, flu, and obesity to degenerative diseases related to aging, will gradually be cured.
Part 5. Disadvantages Of The Raw MFZC Diet (renewed on February 11, 2019)
1) Possible intolerance to some types of meat/fish. Actually, intolerance to certain foods may manifest primarily as diarrhea, constipation, or skin inflammation. It can disappear over time if it is related to changes in your intestinal microflora. But intolerance also can be linked to toxins if the animal/fish you eat is fed foods with added chemicals, antibiotics, medicines, etc. This kind of intolerance may not disappear. Also, there may be possible genetic reasons for intolerance.
2) You may experience a long adaptation period to this diet, up to several months.
3) Social get-togethers with relatives and interactions with friends may become problematic in certain situations.
Part 6. Adding Other Food To MFZC Diet (renewed on November 04, 2022)
Unfortunately, other animals, and especially most plant foods, may not be as compatible or nutritionally adequate as our bodies’ genetic requirements. Also, they may cause additional negative side effects, such as fluctuations in hormonal activity and changes in the absorption of vitamins, minerals, and other micronutrients. Some of the links provided in this article fully attest to it.
People often try to add other foods to meat and fish, but it can be more complicated than it seems. It’s somewhat familiar for folks to make the same mistake and think that all produce is chock-full of valuable vitamins, minerals, etc. In reality, they are not, since every type of (untampered or intact) food is a whole or part of a former living plant, mushroom, or animal. This means that a particular food item can naturally contain thousands of complex and chemically active substances. Some of them are beneficial, and some are useless or even harmful.
In response, the human body would need to generate thousands of different chemical reactions to digest this food, then decide whether to keep or reject these substances to maintain life and the diverse functionality of the body and brain, or simply maintain homeostasis. This is a vast, energy-intensive task for the body and all its organs. And it is especially true if you eat various foods mixed together, because the substances they’re made of interact to create new by-products, which can also decrease the absorption of some nutrients.
By the way, if you want to eat a few kinds of food together, eat them without mixing, i.e., sequentially, and they will form separate layers inside your stomach. These layers are stable and do not mix with each other, even in the intestines.
For more information, see the PDF file “Dr. Stanley S. Bass Sequential Eating and Food Combining. Excerpts from “Ideal Health through Sequential Eating”
I wrote several articles explaining my diet choice for people interested in diet, health, and longevity. To present my point of view, I included links to other articles in my article, confirming the actual influence of the food we ingest on our health and well-being.
This article is the result of many years of research and personal testing of various diets and their effects on my physical, emotional, and mental health (starting in 1985). A simple, zero-carb diet consisting primarily of raw meat/raw fish (MFZC) and pure water was eventually discovered to be optimal for health. I have been testing the raw MFZC diet from April 2016 to the present time, and it has not disappointed, providing an astoundingly positive impact on my overall well-being. I have concluded that this diet is definitely better than all the other diets I’ve rigorously tested on myself throughout the years.
I hope this article will be of benefit to most people, especially those with health challenges who feel their current diet is not kind to them. I publish my articles on various social networking websites, Facebook groups, and forums for educational and informational purposes, and I appreciate any comments, remarks, and constructive criticism of my work.
Part 2. Why Do People Become Sick? (renewed on April 20, 2022)
Why do initially perfectly designed human beings acquire so many diseases over the course of their lives, especially in later stages, closer to old age? Why do people age significantly more quickly and noticeably than wild animals?
The answer lies in the food we have been eating for millennia, until modern times. This is especially true with the food we consume today. Many of these foods do help us survive, but they have both short- and long-term adverse side effects.
You can read more about these detrimental ramifications in many other articles I’ve linked below, as well as in some of my published articles on the website https://rawdiets.wordpress.com/. Unfortunately, we really are what we eat. Fortunately, with the right know-how, we can use food as medicine to administer deep healing.
If you want to help yourself cure your own diseases and live without them, normalize your weight, be healthy, feel alive, have a clear mind, better memory, concentration, and better cognitive abilities during your lifetime including old age, you should consider a simple diet of primarily raw fatty meat, raw fatty sea fish (preferably wild-caught), and drink a reasonable amount of pure water.
(As mentioned in the article, ‘excess of red meat consumption may be associated with an increased incidence of colorectal and breast cancer, ‘ it is related to only cooked meat, but absolutely not to raw meat!)
From this article:
Regarding diet, the researchers found that only red meat consumption frequency was associated with telomere length. Therefore, red meat consumption appears to be related to a longer telomere length.’
The significance of telomere length is that the longer the DNA telomeres we have, the longer we live.
The article confirms statistically that the more often we eat meat, the longer we live.
Humans are similar to carnivores in many ways. For example, see this table:
Different species digest food differently when comparing which part of the intestine mainly digests: “Pictures are worth 1000 words. Human intestines digest meat easily (the small intestine); other primates specialize in plant digestion (the colon). Unlike plant-eaters, humans join dogs and cats in low fermentation (poor plant digestion). Human and dog stomachs are very similar. (@AnnChildersMD)

Unfortunately, other animals, and especially most plant foods, may not be as compatible or nutritionally adequate as our bodies’ genetic requirements. Also, they may cause additional negative side effects, such as fluctuations in hormonal activity and changes in the absorption of vitamins, minerals, and other micronutrients. Some of the links provided in this article fully attest to it.
People often try to add other foods to meat and fish, but it can be more complicated than it seems. It’s somewhat familiar for folks to make the same mistake and think that all produce is chock-full of valuable vitamins, minerals, etc. In reality, they are not, since every type of (untampered or intact) food is a whole or part of a former living plant, mushroom, or animal. This means that a particular food item can naturally contain thousands of complex and chemically active substances. Some of them are beneficial, and some are useless or even harmful.
In response, the human body would need to generate thousands of different chemical reactions to digest this food, then decide whether to keep or reject these substances to maintain life and the diverse functionality of the body and brain, or simply maintain homeostasis. This is a vast, energy-intensive task for the body and all its organs. And it is especially true if you eat various foods mixed together, because the substances they’re made of interact to create new by-products, which can also decrease the absorption of some nutrients.
By the way, if you want to eat a few kinds of food together, eat them without mixing, i.e., sequentially, and they will form separate layers inside your stomach. These layers are stable and do not mix with each other, even in the intestines.

I wrote several articles explaining my diet choice for people interested in diet, health, and longevity. To present my point of view, I included links to other articles in my article, confirming the actual influence of the food we ingest on our health and well-being.
This article is the result of many years of research and personal testing of various diets and their effects on my physical, emotional, and mental health (starting in 1985). A simple, zero-carb diet consisting primarily of raw meat/raw fish (MFZC) and pure water was eventually discovered to be optimal for health. I have been testing the raw MFZC diet from April 2016 to the present time, and it has not disappointed, providing an astoundingly positive impact on my overall well-being. I have concluded that this diet is definitely better than all the other diets I’ve rigorously tested on myself throughout the years.
I hope this article will be of benefit to most people, especially those with health challenges who feel their current diet is not kind to them. I publish my articles on various social networking websites, Facebook groups, and forums for educational and informational purposes, and I appreciate any comments, remarks, and constructive criticism of my work.
Part 2. Why Do People Become Sick? (renewed on April 20, 2022)
Why do initially perfectly designed human beings acquire so many diseases over the course of their lives, especially in later stages, closer to old age? Why do people age significantly more quickly and noticeably than wild animals?
The answer lies in the food we have been eating for millennia, until modern times. This is especially true with the food we consume today. Many of these foods do help us survive, but they have both short- and long-term adverse side effects.
You can read more about these detrimental ramifications in many other articles I’ve linked below, as well as in some of my published articles on the website https://rawdiets.wordpress.com/. Unfortunately, we really are what we eat. Fortunately, with the right know-how, we can use food as medicine to administer deep healing.
If you want to help yourself cure your own diseases and live without them, normalize your weight, be healthy, feel alive, have a clear mind, better memory, concentration, and better cognitive abilities during your lifetime including old age, you should consider a simple diet of primarily raw fatty meat, raw fatty sea fish (preferably wild-caught), and drink a reasonable amount of pure water.
(As mentioned in the article, ‘excess of red meat consumption may be associated with an increased incidence of colorectal and breast cancer, ‘ it is related to only cooked meat, but absolutely not to raw meat!)
From this article:
Regarding diet, the researchers found that only red meat consumption frequency was associated with telomere length. Therefore, red meat consumption appears to be related to a longer telomere length.’
The significance of telomere length is that the longer the DNA telomeres we have, the longer we live.
The article confirms statistically that the more often we eat meat, the longer we live.
Humans are similar to carnivores in many ways. For example, see this table:
Different species digest food differently when comparing which part of the intestine mainly digests: “Pictures are worth 1000 words. Human intestines digest meat easily (the small intestine); other primates specialize in plant digestion (the colon). Unlike plant-eaters, humans join dogs and cats in low fermentation (poor plant digestion). Human and dog stomachs are very similar. (@AnnChildersMD)
Zero-carb diets vary. Some include eggs and dairy, while others don’t, and yet others focus on higher-fat intake, for example. However, regardless of the ZC flavour, most people who follow these diets prefer to cook their food for at least a short time. But even a brief period over a burning fire or hot stove destroys its natural enzymes and creates many irreversible chemical reactions in the food. Heat decreases their nutritional value and the healing power of ZC diets. Moreover, cooked food generates a profound negative influence on physical, emotional, and mental health. For example, here’s an experiment about the impact of cooked food on rats: http://www.naturalnews.com/023401_rats_foods_health.html.
To this day, I continue eating a raw diet, consisting primarily of raw meat/ raw fish (MFZC) and pure water.
Before my current diet (from November 2007 to April 2016), I tested only 100% raw food diets (high- or low-carb, primal, paleo, etc.). Eventually, I concluded that the raw MFZC diet is the best all-around.
For additional updated information, also see part 2 in Article 15
Part 4. Advantages Of The MFZC Diet and Pure Water (renewed on April 20, 2022)
1) After adaptation, you will not need or want to indulge in any other food.
2) Red meat, such as beef, is one of, if not the best, foods one should consume on the carnivore diet. It has the most complete and optimally balanced set of nutrients compatible with our genetic makeup.
3) Wild-caught sea fish such as salmon, mackerel, herring, etc., contain vital fatty acids, including Omega-3 and essential trace minerals (electrolytes) that terrestrial animals do not currently possess in significant enough amounts.
On an all-meat diet (i.e., a ZC diet without seafood), some of the essential trace minerals are missing entirely or partially – Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn, Mo, Se, I. Today, animals (and people) eat plants (grass, grains, etc.) grown on depleted soils, which lack these essential trace minerals. Therefore, animal flesh also lacks the vital trace minerals needed for optimal body functioning. The ocean has an abundance of electrolytes. You can rest assured that sea life has a relatively high level of trace minerals, notably more than what you’ll find in terrestrial animals.
For example, if you do not have enough of the trace element iodine (I), you may develop a goitre (an endocrine disease). In many parts of the world today, the soil, plants, and animal foodstuffs lack iodine, so people are forced to supplement with nonorganic iodine. Still, unfortunately, these supplements are very unhealthy in the long run. It is well known that in some countries, many people developed goitre centuries ago.
The benefits of adding seafood to our diet have long been known. For example, here is what Weston A Price, a famous dentist who went around the world studying the teeth of indigenous people, wrote about Indians living in the highlands of Peru: “It was, accordingly, a matter of great interest to discover that these Indians used regularly dried fish eggs from the sea. Commerce in these dried foods is carried on today as it no doubt has been for centuries. When I inquired why they used this material, they explained that it was necessary to maintain the fertility of their women. I was informed also that every exchange depot and market carried these dried fish eggs so that they were always available.” You can find this quote in chapter 15 of his book:http://gutenberg.net.au/ebooks02/0200251h.html.
4) A reasonable amount of pure water is vital for the proper biochemical reactions to take place inside our body (tea, coffee, juices, etc., can interfere with these reactions and make them more challenging to carry out). See ‘Distilled water’ in Article 2 and ‘Beverages’ in Article 4.
5) During the time you are on this diet, your diseases, from chronic cold, flu, and obesity to degenerative diseases related to aging, will gradually be cured.
Part 5. Disadvantages Of The Raw MFZC Diet (renewed on February 11, 2019)
1) Possible intolerance to some types of meat/fish. Actually, intolerance to certain foods may manifest primarily as diarrhea, constipation, or skin inflammation. It can disappear over time if it is related to changes in your intestinal microflora. But intolerance also can be linked to toxins if the animal/fish you eat is fed foods with added chemicals, antibiotics, medicines, etc. This kind of intolerance may not disappear. Also, there may be possible genetic reasons for intolerance.
2) You may experience a long adaptation period to this diet, up to several months.
3) Social get-togethers with relatives and interactions with friends may become problematic in certain situations.

Unlike plant-eaters, humans join dogs and cats in low fermentation (poor plant digestion). Human and dog stomachs are very similar. (@AnnChildersMD)
Zero-carb diets vary. Some include eggs and dairy, while others don’t, and yet others focus on higher-fat intake, for example. However, regardless of the ZC flavour, most people who follow these diets prefer to cook their food for at least a short time. But even a brief period over a burning fire or hot stove destroys its natural enzymes and creates many irreversible chemical reactions in the food. Heat decreases their nutritional value and the healing power of ZC diets. Moreover, cooked food generates a profound negative influence on physical, emotional, and mental health. For example, here’s an experiment about the impact of cooked food on rats: http://www.naturalnews.com/023401_rats_foods_health.html.
To this day, I continue eating a raw diet, consisting primarily of raw meat/ raw fish (MFZC) and pure water.
Before my current diet (from November 2007 to April 2016), I tested only 100% raw food diets (high- or low-carb, primal, paleo, etc.). Eventually, I concluded that the raw MFZC diet is the best all-around.
For additional updated information, also see part 2 in Article 15
Part 4. Advantages Of The MFZC Diet and Pure Water (renewed on April 20, 2022)
1) After adaptation, you will not need or want to indulge in any other food.
2) Red meat, such as beef, is one of, if not the best, foods one should consume on the carnivore diet. It has the most complete and optimally balanced set of nutrients compatible with our genetic makeup.
3) Wild-caught sea fish such as salmon, mackerel, herring, etc., contain vital fatty acids, including Omega-3 and essential trace minerals (electrolytes) that terrestrial animals do not currently possess in significant enough amounts.
On an all-meat diet (i.e., a ZC diet without seafood), some of the essential trace minerals are missing entirely or partially – Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn, Mo, Se, I. Today, animals (and people) eat plants (grass, grains, etc.) grown on depleted soils, which lack these essential trace minerals. Therefore, animal flesh also lacks the vital trace minerals needed for optimal body functioning. The ocean has an abundance of electrolytes. You can rest assured that sea life has a relatively high level of trace minerals, notably more than what you’ll find in terrestrial animals.
For example, if you do not have enough of the trace element iodine (I), you may develop a goitre (an endocrine disease). In many parts of the world today, the soil, plants, and animal foodstuffs lack iodine, so people are forced to supplement with nonorganic iodine. Still, unfortunately, these supplements are very unhealthy in the long run. It is well known that in some countries, many people developed goitre centuries ago.
The benefits of adding seafood to our diet have long been known. For example, here is what Weston A Price, a famous dentist who went around the world studying the teeth of indigenous people, wrote about Indians living in the highlands of Peru: “It was, accordingly, a matter of great interest to discover that these Indians used regularly dried fish eggs from the sea. Commerce in these dried foods is carried on today as it no doubt has been for centuries. When I inquired why they used this material, they explained that it was necessary to maintain the fertility of their women. I was informed also that every exchange depot and market carried these dried fish eggs so that they were always available.” You can find this quote in chapter 15 of his book:http://gutenberg.net.au/ebooks02/0200251h.html.
4) A reasonable amount of pure water is vital for the proper biochemical reactions to take place inside our body (tea, coffee, juices, etc., can interfere with these reactions and make them more challenging to carry out). See ‘Distilled water’ in Article 2 and ‘Beverages’ in Article 4.
5) During the time you are on this diet, your diseases, from chronic cold, flu, and obesity to degenerative diseases related to aging, will gradually be cured.
Part 5. Disadvantages Of The Raw MFZC Diet (renewed on February 11, 2019)
1) Possible intolerance to some types of meat/fish. Actually, intolerance to certain foods may manifest primarily as diarrhea, constipation, or skin inflammation. It can disappear over time if it is related to changes in your intestinal microflora. But intolerance also can be linked to toxins if the animal/fish you eat is fed foods with added chemicals, antibiotics, medicines, etc. This kind of intolerance may not disappear. Also, there may be possible genetic reasons for intolerance.
2) You may experience a long adaptation period to this diet, up to several months.
3) Social get-togethers with relatives and interactions with friends may become problematic in certain situations.
Part 6. Adding Other Food To MFZC Diet (renewed on November 04, 2022)
Unfortunately, other animals, and especially most plant foods, may not be as compatible or nutritionally adequate as our bodies’ genetic requirements. Also, they may cause additional negative side effects, such as fluctuations in hormonal activity and changes in the absorption of vitamins, minerals, and other micronutrients. Some of the links provided in this article fully attest to it.
People often try to add other foods to meat and fish, but it can be more complicated than it seems. It’s somewhat familiar for folks to make the same mistake and think that all produce is chock-full of valuable vitamins, minerals, etc. In reality, they are not, since every type of (untampered or intact) food is a whole or part of a former living plant, mushroom, or animal. This means that a particular food item can naturally contain thousands of complex and chemically active substances. Some of them are beneficial, and some are useless or even harmful.
In response, the human body would need to generate thousands of different chemical reactions to digest this food, then decide whether to keep or reject these substances to maintain life and the diverse functionality of the body and brain, or simply maintain homeostasis. This is a vast, energy-intensive task for the body and all its organs. And it is especially true if you eat various foods mixed together, because the substances they’re made of interact to create new by-products, which can also decrease the absorption of some nutrients.
By the way, if you want to eat a few kinds of food together, eat them without mixing, i.e., sequentially, and they will form separate layers inside your stomach. These layers are stable and do not mix with each other, even in the intestines.
For more information, see the PDF file “Dr. Stanley S. Bass Sequential Eating and Food Combining. Excerpts from “Ideal Health through Sequential Eating”
I wrote several articles explaining my diet choice for people interested in diet, health, and longevity. To present my point of view, I included links to other articles in my article, confirming the actual influence of the food we ingest on our health and well-being.
This article is the result of many years of research and personal testing of various diets and their effects on my physical, emotional, and mental health (starting in 1985). A simple, zero-carb diet consisting primarily of raw meat/raw fish (MFZC) and pure water was eventually discovered to be optimal for health. I have been testing the raw MFZC diet from April 2016 to the present time, and it has not disappointed, providing an astoundingly positive impact on my overall well-being. I have concluded that this diet is definitely better than all the other diets I’ve rigorously tested on myself throughout the years.
I hope this article will be of benefit to most people, especially those with health challenges who feel their current diet is not kind to them. I publish my articles on various social networking websites, Facebook groups, and forums for educational and informational purposes, and I appreciate any comments, remarks, and constructive criticism of my work.
Part 2. Why Do People Become Sick? (renewed on April 20, 2022)
Why do initially perfectly designed human beings acquire so many diseases over the course of their lives, especially in later stages, closer to old age? Why do people age significantly more quickly and noticeably than wild animals?
The answer lies in the food we have been eating for millennia, until modern times. This is especially true with the food we consume today. Many of these foods do help us survive, but they have both short- and long-term adverse side effects.
You can read more about these detrimental ramifications in many other articles I’ve linked below, as well as in some of my published articles on the website https://rawdiets.wordpress.com/. Unfortunately, we really are what we eat. Fortunately, with the right know-how, we can use food as medicine to administer deep healing.
If you want to help yourself cure your own diseases and live without them, normalize your weight, be healthy, feel alive, have a clear mind, better memory, concentration, and better cognitive abilities during your lifetime including old age, you should consider a simple diet of primarily raw fatty meat, raw fatty sea fish (preferably wild-caught), and drink a reasonable amount of pure water.
(As mentioned in the article, ‘excess of red meat consumption may be associated with an increased incidence of colorectal and breast cancer, ‘ it is related to only cooked meat, but absolutely not to raw meat!)
From this article:
Regarding diet, the researchers found that only red meat consumption frequency was associated with telomere length. Therefore, red meat consumption appears to be related to a longer telomere length.’
The significance of telomere length is that the longer the DNA telomeres we have, the longer we live.
The article confirms statistically that the more often we eat meat, the longer we live.
Humans are similar to carnivores in many ways. For example, see this table:
Different species digest food differently when comparing which part of the intestine mainly digests: “Pictures are worth 1000 words. Human intestines digest meat easily (the small intestine); other primates specialize in plant digestion (the colon).

Part 6. Adding Other Food To MFZC Diet (renewed on November 04, 2022)
Unfortunately, other animals, and especially most plant foods, may not be as compatible or nutritionally adequate as our bodies’ genetic requirements. Also, they may cause additional negative side effects, such as fluctuations in hormonal activity and changes in the absorption of vitamins, minerals, and other micronutrients. Some of the links provided in this article fully attest to it.
People often try to add other foods to meat and fish, but it can be more complicated than it seems. It’s somewhat familiar for folks to make the same mistake and think that all produce is chock-full of valuable vitamins, minerals, etc. In reality, they are not, since every type of (untampered or intact) food is a whole or part of a former living plant, mushroom, or animal. This means that a particular food item can naturally contain thousands of complex and chemically active substances. Some of them are beneficial, and some are useless or even harmful.
In response, the human body would need to generate thousands of different chemical reactions to digest this food, then decide whether to keep or reject these substances to maintain life and the diverse functionality of the body and brain, or simply maintain homeostasis. This is a vast, energy-intensive task for the body and all its organs. And it is especially true if you eat various foods mixed together, because the substances they’re made of interact to create new by-products, which can also decrease the absorption of some nutrients.
By the way, if you want to eat a few kinds of food together, eat them without mixing, i.e., sequentially, and they will form separate layers inside your stomach. These layers are stable and do not mix with each other, even in the intestines.

I wrote several articles explaining my diet choice for people interested in diet, health, and longevity. To present my point of view, I included links to other articles in my article, confirming the actual influence of the food we ingest on our health and well-being.
This article is the result of many years of research and personal testing of various diets and their effects on my physical, emotional, and mental health (starting in 1985). A simple, zero-carb diet consisting primarily of raw meat/raw fish (MFZC) and pure water was eventually discovered to be optimal for health. I have been testing the raw MFZC diet from April 2016 to the present time, and it has not disappointed, providing an astoundingly positive impact on my overall well-being. I have concluded that this diet is definitely better than all the other diets I’ve rigorously tested on myself throughout the years.
I hope this article will be of benefit to most people, especially those with health challenges who feel their current diet is not kind to them. I publish my articles on various social networking websites, Facebook groups, and forums for educational and informational purposes, and I appreciate any comments, remarks, and constructive criticism of my work.
Part 2. Why Do People Become Sick? (renewed on April 20, 2022)
Why do initially perfectly designed human beings acquire so many diseases over the course of their lives, especially in later stages, closer to old age? Why do people age significantly more quickly and noticeably than wild animals?
The answer lies in the food we have been eating for millennia, until modern times. This is especially true with the food we consume today. Many of these foods do help us survive, but they have both short- and long-term adverse side effects.
You can read more about these detrimental ramifications in many other articles I’ve linked below, as well as in some of my published articles on the website https://rawdiets.wordpress.com/. Unfortunately, we really are what we eat. Fortunately, with the right know-how, we can use food as medicine to administer deep healing.
If you want to help yourself cure your own diseases and live without them, normalize your weight, be healthy, feel alive, have a clear mind, better memory, concentration, and better cognitive abilities during your lifetime including old age, you should consider a simple diet of primarily raw fatty meat, raw fatty sea fish (preferably wild-caught), and drink a reasonable amount of pure water.
(As mentioned in the article, ‘excess of red meat consumption may be associated with an increased incidence of colorectal and breast cancer, ‘ it is related to only cooked meat, but absolutely not to raw meat!)
From this article:
Regarding diet, the researchers found that only red meat consumption frequency was associated with telomere length. Therefore, red meat consumption appears to be related to a longer telomere length.’
The significance of telomere length is that the longer the DNA telomeres we have, the longer we live.
The article confirms statistically that the more often we eat meat, the longer we live.
Humans are similar to carnivores in many ways. For example, see this table:
Different species digest food differently when comparing which part of the intestine mainly digests: “Pictures are worth 1000 words. Human intestines digest meat easily (the small intestine); other primates specialize in plant digestion (the colon). Unlike plant-eaters, humans join dogs and cats in low fermentation (poor plant digestion). Human and dog stomachs are very similar. (@AnnChildersMD)
Zero-carb diets vary. Some include eggs and dairy, while others don’t, and yet others focus on higher-fat intake, for example. However, regardless of the ZC flavour, most people who follow these diets prefer to cook their food for at least a short time. But even a brief period over a burning fire or hot stove destroys its natural enzymes and creates many irreversible chemical reactions in the food. Heat decreases their nutritional value and the healing power of ZC diets. Moreover, cooked food generates a profound negative influence on physical, emotional, and mental health. For example, here’s an experiment about the impact of cooked food on rats: http://www.naturalnews.com/023401_rats_foods_health.html.
To this day, I continue eating a raw diet, consisting primarily of raw meat/ raw fish (MFZC) and pure water.
Before my current diet (from November 2007 to April 2016), I tested only 100% raw food diets (high- or low-carb, primal, paleo, etc.). Eventually, I concluded that the raw MFZC diet is the best all-around.
For additional updated information, also see part 2 in Article 15
Part 4. Advantages Of The MFZC Diet and Pure Water (renewed on April 20, 2022)
1) After adaptation, you will not need or want to indulge in any other food.
2) Red meat, such as beef, is one of, if not the best, foods one should consume on the carnivore diet. It has the most complete and optimally balanced set of nutrients compatible with our genetic makeup.
3) Wild-caught sea fish such as salmon, mackerel, herring, etc., contain vital fatty acids, including Omega-3 and essential trace minerals (electrolytes) that terrestrial animals do not currently possess in significant enough amounts.
On an all-meat diet (i.e., a ZC diet without seafood), some of the essential trace minerals are missing entirely or partially – Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn, Mo, Se, I. Today, animals (and people) eat plants (grass, grains, etc.) grown on depleted soils, which lack these essential trace minerals. Therefore, animal flesh also lacks the vital trace minerals needed for optimal body functioning. The ocean has an abundance of electrolytes. You can rest assured that sea life has a relatively high level of trace minerals, notably more than what you’ll find in terrestrial animals.
For example, if you do not have enough of the trace element iodine (I), you may develop a goitre (an endocrine disease). In many parts of the world today, the soil, plants, and animal foodstuffs lack iodine, so people are forced to supplement with nonorganic iodine. Still, unfortunately, these supplements are very unhealthy in the long run. It is well known that in some countries, many people developed goitre centuries ago.
The benefits of adding seafood to our diet have long been known. For example, here is what Weston A Price, a famous dentist who went around the world studying the teeth of indigenous people, wrote about Indians living in the highlands of Peru: “It was, accordingly, a matter of great interest to discover that these Indians used regularly dried fish eggs from the sea. Commerce in these dried foods is carried on today as it no doubt has been for centuries. When I inquired why they used this material, they explained that it was necessary to maintain the fertility of their women. I was informed also that every exchange depot and market carried these dried fish eggs so that they were always available.” You can find this quote in chapter 15 of his book:http://gutenberg.net.au/ebooks02/0200251h.html.
4) A reasonable amount of pure water is vital for the proper biochemical reactions to take place inside our body (tea, coffee, juices, etc., can interfere with these reactions and make them more challenging to carry out). See ‘Distilled water’ in Article 2 and ‘Beverages’ in Article 4.
5) During the time you are on this diet, your diseases, from chronic cold, flu, and obesity to degenerative diseases related to aging, will gradually be cured.
Part 5. Disadvantages Of The Raw MFZC Diet (renewed on February 11, 2019)
1) Possible intolerance to some types of meat/fish. Actually, intolerance to certain foods may manifest primarily as diarrhea, constipation, or skin inflammation. It can disappear over time if it is related to changes in your intestinal microflora. But intolerance also can be linked to toxins if the animal/fish you eat is fed foods with added chemicals, antibiotics, medicines, etc. This kind of intolerance may not disappear. Also, there may be possible genetic reasons for intolerance.
2) You may experience a long adaptation period to this diet, up to several months.
3) Social get-togethers with relatives and interactions with friends may become problematic in certain situations.
Part 6. Adding Other Food To MFZC Diet (renewed on November 04, 2022)

Also, they may cause additional negative side effects, such as fluctuations in hormonal activity and changes in the absorption of vitamins, minerals, and other micronutrients.

April 21, 2017 (This webpage was renewed on February 05, 2026)
All the articles, posts, comments, and links on my website are published for educational and informational purposes only. I do not sell, advertise, or promote anything.
I am now 73 years old, and for more than 9 years (since the beginning of April 2016), I have been eating a diet consisting solely of raw meat, fish, and pure water—nothing else.
This lifestyle change has enabled me to heal all my previous diseases, most within the first year. I continue to live without any diseases or health problems, including colds, flu, joint and spine pains, and various local inflammations.
I feel youthful and vibrant once again. My current life is enjoyable, far from boring, and truly interesting. Indeed, we are what we eat! 🙂
Given this insight, I’ve decided to publish my research and share my experiences with others. You can find additional information on my website, Facebook page, and Facebook groups.
For a better understanding of your present personality, take a look at this wise meme below:
Raw carnivore food is definitely healthier than cooked food.See Articles 1-5 and Articles A, B, and C below for more information.
Based on my and some of my followers’ past and present experiences and observations, if you are persistent and strongly willing to live without disease, you can definitely try eating ONLY raw MFZC (meat, fish, zero carbs) and drinking ONLY pure water. This is quite enough, and NOTHING ELSE is needed to eat or drink for the achievement of living without diseases for the rest of your life.
You can start eating them in small portions 4-5 times a day, and not overeat if you have any specific adverse reactions.
See this website for additional useful information
FROM the beginning ofJanuary 2021, I prefer not to eat after 4 pm. See Article 18 for more details.
a)FROM the beginning of August 2021, I started a long-term test of drinking organic raw eggs two times a day, right after my main meat or fish meal. I drank 2 eggs at a time, which is relatively less than the amount of meat/fish I eat. See part 3 of Article 4 for more information.
b)From the beginning ofJanuary 2024, I changed the amount of meat I ate. I currently eat more because I’ve increased my daily physical activity.
c)I have been drinking eggs for about 4 years. Still, FROM the beginning of August 2025, I stopped drinking organic raw eggs due to their gradually collected adverse effects, such as irregular stool, increasing diarrhea, poor sleep, etc., on my body. You may not experience these or other adverse effects, as different people react differently to eggs.
After I stopped drinking eggs, all these adverse effects gradually disappeared.

An example of my daily 2 meals: 1) Breakfast (between 6-7 am) – 1) Raw fish – about 150 grams, 2) ground raw meat – about 350 grams. 2) Lunch (between 2-3 pm) – 1) Raw fish – about 150 grams, 2) ground raw meat – about 350 grams mostly, or about 700 grams sometimes
Also, I usually drink 200-250 ml of pure (distilled) water 15-2An example of my daily 2 meals: 1) Breakfast (between 6-7 am) – 1) Raw fish – about 150 grams, 2) ground raw meat – about 350 grams. 2) Lunch (between 2-3 pm) – 1) Raw fish – about 150 grams, 2) ground raw meat – about 350 grams mostly, or about 700 grams sometimes0 minutes before eating.

I do not cure anyone, but I can provide recommendations, advice, and answers to your potential questions if you are interested and decide to try eating a mostly raw MFZC and mainly drinking pure water. Additionally, I can offer explanations of the information on my website, drawing on over 40 years of personal experience in experimenting with and analyzing diets, as well as over 50 years of studying various diets.
I added many links in the articles to support my point of view and to provide additional information on the topics discussed here. It can take quite a long time to read them all. If you don’t have much time, just skip the links. This will not prevent you from understanding the general ideas and statements presented in the articles.
I continue to update the articles or their parts below from time to time, including developing, improving, and changing them, and updating their dates. Always check the renewal date of the article or its part located after the article’s name. If the renewal date of any article or its part is new, that means some text or/and additional links, pictures, or tableswere added to the article or to its part.
——————————————————————————
Notice 1: Unfortunately, the diet may not be for everybody. But this is mainly related to many existing personal “scientific” opinions on this diet, and/or to the personal addiction to one’s own opinion and to playing with short- and long-term experiments with different kinds of food, supplements, or vitamins. Also, a minimal number of people may not be entirely healed on the diet due to their possible genetic variations.
Notice 2:If you have:
— Many tattooshave proven adverse side effects on your health. There is interesting and confirmed information that many prisoners and people who have large amounts of tattoos often behave crazily and irresponsibly, especially in old age. (see part 10 inArticle 4),
— oftenusing permanent and semi-permanent makeup, which poisons through the skin (see part 10 in Article 4),
— often using other chemicals to make your skin look cleaner and better, which is poisoning you through the skin (see part 10 in Article 4),
— often using dyes for hair, sunscreens, and repellents, that poison you through the skin (see part 10 in Article 4),
— dead teeth, once treated with a root canal, that are permanently poisoning you (see part 9 in Article 4),
— amalgam fillings in teeth, which are permanently poisoning you (see part 9 in Article 4),
— crowns because under them there is a permanent source of infection (see part 9 in Article 4),
you probably may not live without diseases and health problems for the rest of your life, especially in old age. This information can be helpful if you have tried many diets, including the MFZC diet, but continue to have health problems.
Notice 3: Before you try the MFZC diet, let me ask you a question: – Are you willing to give up the diets/foods and beverages that made you sick?
If your answer is solid and completely positive, then consuming mostly an MFZC diet and pure water can really help you solve your present and future health problems. If your answer is negative, the MFZC diet may not help you or be for you.
P.S. By the way, at the present time, you can see a lot of deeply suffering patients in the hospitals near your residence or watch them in “GREY’S ANATOMY” on Netflix.
Following what’s written above, let me ask you the following question: –Do you really want to become like one of these patients, primarily due to your wrong, harmful diet/beverages, your own often ignorant experiments with different diets, your laziness, carelessness, and/or due to your aging?
Moreover, many people have lost their natural ability to feel satiated—the signal that tells them they are full and have enough to eat. Eating until you’re full can be the wrong approach at this time, especially if you are sick and still healing. In this connection, let me ask you one more important question: – Are you just eating to live or are you living to eat?
I’m publishing these questions and the information above because I just want to help you start thinking…
Notice 4: The most important rule of the MFZC diet is that you mostly do not eat or drink anything else except raw meat/fish, and pure water.This is a great way to heal your current and potential health problems by using this diet and pure water.
You may eat meat/fish as much as you want, but remember that at the present time, a truthful common expression, ‘Listento your body doesn’t work correctly if you are under the influence of cooked, fermented, or hormonal food, supplements, beverages, medicines, drugs, etc.
Additionally, many people have lost their natural ability to feel satiated—the signal that tells them they are full and have had enough to eat. These people cannot stop eating, overeating, and feeling unwell as a consequence. Eatinguntil you’re full can be the wrong approach at this time, especially if you are still healing (see part 1 in Article 15for additional information).
Actually, consistently following this vitally essential but strict diet will completely change your future. You will gradually heal most of your diseases and health problems. You will become healthier, more innovative, and more creative than you were before. Your emotions will be more normal, adequate, and stable. Your body and brain will work every day like a precise clock, in sync with your natural inner cycles (see part 5 of Article 2 for additional information).
Some of my readers asked meif it was worth keeping the MFZC diet every day for the rest of my life. My answer is definitely YES. The diet healed me and changed my personality completely, and I absolutely do not want to be ill again and return to my previous sick and weak personality, whichhad a lot of health problems.

A new Facebook Private Group, “Raw Meat and Fish Diet For Life Without Diseases And More,” was created. COME AND JOIN US!https://www.facebook.com/groups/1019548928557236/(This new group is the continuation of my previous private group “The Raw Carnivore Diet For Life Without Diseases)
This group is more than just the Raw Meat and Fish Diet. Additionally, I have included and continue to include many interesting links in the group thread, covering various diets, the body, and the brain, as well as a digest of noteworthy posts and memes from other Facebook groups or personal pages.
But the group priority is the Raw Meat and Fish Diet. If you have any questions about it, just ask after reading our group rules.
The new group will continue to explore the raw MFZC (meat, fish, zero-carb) diet in detail.
You can expect this group to provide valuable, educational information, primarily focused on your health and ways to improve it.
Also, here you can find additional information on gradually achieving long-term healing from many of your diseases and health problems by following a mostly MFZC diet and drinking pure water.
P.S. I continue to refine this website to make it more transparent and more straightforward for self-education and self-coaching. A big help for my work is YOUR QUESTIONS AND YOUR POSITIVE ATTITUDE. So, if you join the group, feel free to ask me any questions. See and join the new group here: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1019548928557236.
From August 2025, I began posting new valuable information in Article 21 ‘Carnivore adults healed their diseases successfully’ and in Article 22 ‘Carnivore children healed their diseases successfully’
Reading these positive examples can inspire you, your relatives, friends, and their children, and help you and them try to heal from various diseases by eating a diet primarily consistingof meat and fish, which are likely genetically preferred for human consumption.
