1) For the skin problem, I think I've nailed it and found out the root of the problem. I think i have candida and have had it for quite some years. Everything seems to make sense now that i thunk about it. Eating a lot of starch would agravate the problem significantly.
Right now I'm also doing meat, fat and berries(since they are in season in the bush). Also some greens in the blender. And my skin has cleared up quite a bit. I will be starting a regimen to clear out the candida problem, though the meat fat and veg diet is a great way to starve it off.
As of yet I'm not doing raw meat. I'm waiting for We Want to Live to get here so i can read it.
I've also ordered a DVD which was made by a lady who got healed using raw meat method advocated by the originator of the Primal Diet. It shows how to prepare raw meat poultry and fish, along with her favorite recipes.
