HG - what that means and links

Hi 31523...
HG means I'm a Hunter Gathorer, high PURINE protein in MT.

What most folks stop at is the concept of high protein. But MT has taught me that what I really need is high purine, so my main source of protein has become organ meats, sardines, pate etc.
When I first read this I shuddered. Now I eat liver every morning for breakfast and the reason is it tanks me up on purines and 2 hours later I am sailing thru the day with high energy and feel good!

I am eating a vegan diet because I am doing some serious cleansing. And even Dr. Mercola says that we HG's need to try and do the vegan bit when we're cleansing because it really helps the body dump toxins. So I am eating the exact opposite of my metabolic type. This is fascinating to do given what I have learned about myself on a high purine diet.

Anyway... links that have been really helpful for me are:

start here cause she explains the history of MT, the key books, and then about Robert McFerran; then his "book" is published here online to read....

http://www.askwaltstollmd.com/archives.html then scroll down to metabolic typing. This is where the forums with Robert McFerran are archived.


I'll start checking this forum daily.
It would be great to hear other's experience.

Happy Cleansing!
