Eating Raw Liver. . .
Good Heavens!
Eating raw liver is definitely not a Standard American Dietary (SAD)
practice! So why in the world would a sane person even consider eating their
liver raw? Most of the reasons are anecdotal with the primary one being that
people who do consistently report how good it makes them feel.

a.. Southern hunters have a tradition of eating the liver of their freshly
killed deer as a "manly" thing to do.
b.. In Argentina, cowboys eat liver (and meat) raw or very lightly cooked.
c.. People who grew up on farms tell of eating the liver freshly warm from
the animal and only lightly cooking it (and all the organs and glands)
d.. Weston Price reported on the consumption of raw liver among African
hunter-gatherer tribes. Liver was considered so sacred that they never
touched it with their hands, only with their spears. They ate it both raw
and cooked.
e.. The physician Max Gerson used raw liver juice, extracted with a
special juicer that pressed out the liquid, in his original healing protocol
with pancreatic cancer patients. His daughter, Charlotte Gerson, later
dropped this part of the protocol because of the unavailability of fresh
clean liver without bacterial contamination. Now a crude liver extract
injection or desiccated liver tablets are used in the current protocol.
However, Dr. Nicholas Gonzalez, a New York doctor who treats cancer
holistically, insists that all his patients eat raw liver.
The How-to-do-it
of Eating Raw Liver
This takes some getting used to! There are two basic methods. One calls for
freezing the liver for 14 days in large chunks. (Fourteen days will ensure
the elimination of pathogens and parasites.) You can then grate the liver on
the small holes of a grater and add it to milk or juice, or even hot cereal.
A teaspoon or two of grated raw liver can be added to baby's egg yolk, or
even to mashed vegetables.

The second method turns liver into pills! Cut fresh liver into pea-sized
pieces and freeze for 14 days. Swallow like vitamin pills.
For both methods, the liver should be of the highest quality available and
very fresh.

Nah, sorry - I'm with Pinecone here, having also seen my share of intestinal
parasites. I'm sure it tastes lovely raw, but it can do it without me. I
like mine cooked - faggots over the weekend sometime.
