First, thank you for your feedback on food combining. You wrote "amazingly effective for me". Sue, remember I promised everybody that they would loose weight fast when they include food combining with BTD. These 2 concepts just complement each other in a wonderful way. For weight loss, food combining does not have to be practiced religiously and still, great results. For detox however and in order to combat certain diseases it is best to follow a strict regime. Over 100 testimonies from people I know who were serious and disciplined about food combining + testimonies from all our family members simply can't be wrong.
As for meat I must admit that I have a conflict (mainly with my A wife who trusts me as her cook and nutritional consultant). Since BTD we have cut down on beef (lamb is neutral for AB me) for both of us and will continue to limit our intake. However, we are both opposed to unfermented soy products for different reasons. My wife refuses to eat things that don't taste well. Very often, her judgment turned out to be right (margarine). Therefore, we eat small amounts of calf liver about once a week and my wife wants beef back on the menu. That is why I asked the board for advice re grass-fed meats.
As for digestibility, the raw food community claims that enzymes present in raw foods significantly help in digesting the foods itself. This "theory" is based on what Edward Howell believed and expressed in his book Food Enzymes for Health and Longevity (I mentioned this before in another context). However, our body has all the enzymes necessary to digest protein. I think it is important that we sterilize the surface of meat by heat to remove contaminants. If the meat is free of parasites I think medium rare should be best.
