Karl, I guess I'm not aware of the combining effects. I often eat (raw, fresh) fish and fruit (2 together, nothing else) as a main meal and did this long before I ever was exposed to the instincto ideas. For me I don't find it harmful. But eating too many different things at once disagrees with me. The combining idea - is not to have protein rich foods with sweet things? regards, Karl-W.
