All the veggie theorists talk about detoxing when you start > their various wondrous regimes -- do paleos detox, too? Are you running a fever? I know that when I get sick now (low-carbing, mostly paleo) I can't run a fever until I carb-up, which I usually do with fruit. I've had VERY long colds (month long) that only got worse with dry itchy troat that made me cough all the time. With a carb-up I just run a fever and the cold is gone within a couple of days. I usually wait a couple of days to see if the cold goes away on its own (becaus I don't want to eat carbs unnecessarily) but then I pig out :) Of course your problem may be completely different. Ilya
