Alternative Medicine/parasites or candida?

Question
To start off, I'm male, 16.

My stomach has been bothering me for about a year now...
I decided to go on a mostly raw diet a couple months ago thinking that would help, but it hasn't much.
(what I eat is as much fruit and vegetables as I want, about an oz of raw walnuts or almonds per day, I have fish fish sometimes, baked potatoes, oatmeal. No wheat, no dairy, no sugar, no salt, pork, beef, or poultry.)

So basically what has been going on is my lower abdomen pretty much always hurts, and I feel nauseated. I'm constipated, and when I do make bowel movements, my stool is skinny, and has some undigested food even though I make sure to chew extra.

I'm tired right after waking up, my inner ears are itchy, sometimes the glands in my throat swell up and are tender, and I've had hives for 8 weeks now.

My doctor doesn't know whats going on. I'm pretty sure I have either parasites or candida overgrowth in my intestines.

If you know anything on this topic, what would you recommend?

I know of a now foods black walnut husk/wormwood/clove liquid complex, which is supposed to kill parasites, if I did this, how long should I do it for?

Thanks for your time,
Andrew

Answer
Hello Andrew,

It sounds like there are a few things going on.  First you will want to address the digestive issues.

I would do the following:

1.  Proactazyme Plus - a digestive aid to help you digest your foods better. + Eat slowly and no more than 4 ounces of water room temperature with a meal.
Eat for your blood type diet.

2.  Probioic 11 - to restore the good flora to the gut.

3.  CLT-X - For fiber, to help with elimination and gently clenase the colon.

I would be sure and go off all grains.

Not sure how old you are and wondering if you have gallbladder issues in your family history or if the doctor checked the gallbaldder for sludge, stones etc?

I would also get Candida Clear and follow the diretions with the diet on the box to address candida issues first with the probioics then we can look towards parasites if they are an issue.

Ears relate to kidneys and can relate to canddia.

I would start here.  
Also:
Are you wired but tired?  Burned out?  Wierd dreams?  Toss and turn when you sleep?

If so adrenals are probably involved and we will want to address these as well.
