Hello-
I am new to this fourm but have been reading lots of old posts. I have liked the idea of raw for a while now, but would like point in the right direction. I know I have candida, and possibly parasites( my tushie itiches, but could also be candida) other reason for parasite assumption are, drinking tap water all growing up and my sister had parasites but never really did anything about them. Oh and I travel to Mexico every year and eat and drink the food. Anyhow, the less fat more fruit idea really makes since to me. But lots of the posts people have made about 80/10/10 diet never gave thier results as so resolving candida and parasites. Also is this diet one you do until in great health then to a wider range raw diet, or will the candida come back when you increase your fats again. I am coming from a strange place diet wise. I have cut all meat except chicken, but only eat it at last resort. I have never been big on dairy, ice cream is my only weakness and raw ice cream looks wonderful so I know I could be vegan. I have green smoothies a few times a week, but I only have a magic bullet so it can not even fully blend strawberries. I am very low on funds right now so my range of ingrediants are not so great. I have herd great things about water fasts, but is it to drastic to jump into that when I haven't even reached high raw yet. One reason why I haven't jumped into raw is I am afraid I will find some great recipes that would hard to give up with a more simple lifestyle. So I figure don't start making yummy gourmet raw and then turn my back on it a few weeks later. Any and all advice would be great. I will hopefully get dr graham book soon. Thanks agian
I know I have more questions but that is all I can think of right now.

I'm still new to 811 myself, but I can definitely answer one of your questions. The 811 diet is a diet for life, no changes at all needed later on down the road.
I would think going straight from a SAD diet into a water fast would be too much. I would clean up diet-wise and deal with any detox through that first.
