Hiya,
I am a newbie from London, UK, currently suffering from Candida overgrowth (all my life since age , Chronic Fatigue syndrome and electrosensitivity. I have better energy than I did a couple of years ago, due to retraining as a nutritionist, but am still struggling with low energy, fatigue, back pain and creaky joints, coated tongue, constipation, starch/sugar cravings and blood sugar problems. Am currently taking anti-fungal Chinese herbs, which I've been on for 13 years, prior to that orthodox antifungals, like Nystatin.

Read a lot about raw paleo recently and coming to the conclusion it may be the only way to help me. But I have some questions, which I haven't yet seen answered on the site or the Yahoo group.

I tend to react badly to raw veggies with a lot of wind- I think my gut ferments things v easily. Bearing this weak digestion in mind, should I still be consuming this?

I am a little worried about parasites in raw meat and fish, since although I've read AV's info (and here) on beneficial microflora, I know my own gut flora is seriously out of wack, hence the Candida, and I don't want to make this any worse. Will this not be a problem if all my meat and fish is wild/organic?

Also, no one seems to eat raw nuts and seeds here.. is that a matter of choice for the individual, or are they seen as problematic? Also, no root vegetables either...

Thanks and good health

Elizabeth
