Subject:	Dr D: 80/10/10 causing thread veins?

I was hoping you would have some insight into a query of mine.

I have been following 80/10/10 (although i have been mainly 90/5/5 mono mealing with little greens....used to loooooove them before but since high fruit they do not appeal to me at all.....maybe am getting everything i need from fruit?!) for 4 and a half months though was gourmet raw for a few months before. I had glandular fever when i was 17 which has resulted in M.E for the past 10 years and for the past three years I have also not menstruated. I had an in depth blood analysis at the beginning of this year which showed i am severley lacking in quite a few hormones and i also suffer from Hashimotos disease. My energy is slowly improving but i have noticed that i am suffering from a lot of thread veins...all over my body. They have become worse since I have been following 80/10/10! I am very confused as i thought they would have improved and am concerned not for cosmetic reasons (although they are unsightly!), but that they are obviously an indicator that something is not right!

I was hoping you would have some insight into their cause, and maybe their treatment and if they can dissapear on the diet.

Its very frustrating as i see them on my dad.....a 61 year old chain smoking alcoholic who does not exercise and eats typical SAD diet!!!..........yet I am a 27 year old LFRV who does not drink, smoke, sleeps a lot, meditates and exercises!!! Where am I going wrong?

I have also had a big increase in moles and liver spots (hyperpigmentation marks) over the last few months which I am also confused about? Would my internal excretory organs be compromised so much so that the last resort for my body would be to use my skin to excrete toxins?

I hope you can maybe enlighten me!!

Many thanks!
