Guest guest Posted April 23, 2001 Report Share Posted April 23, 2001 I briefly glanced at the Paleo diet page that was given the other day. Maybe the key in that is that it calls for a sugar-free diet. Sugar breaks down the immune system according to many, many various sources that I have read. Grains are very hard to digest and can slow down the GI tract, hence the food will ferment in the gut which I believe in turn causes toxins. If the wall of the gut is not of good integrity those toxins can get into the bloodstream and cause more problems for the body's immune system. I have a page with a lot of links on diet that you might find some interesting reading at http://sailorsviewpoint.homestead.com/althealthpage.html I will give you a couple of other links here you might want to check out....but there are a ton more links on my web site that you will probably enjoy reading.....and I now need to add vaccine links for humans! I have not vaccinated my dogs in 4 yrs now with my oldest (6 yrs)....

But it bothers me that anyone would say with certainty that being on the paleo diet will prevent any particular disease. I would like to know what the documentation is which supports that notion. One thing, off the top of my head from the little I think I remember about the diet, is that if they are assuming that because people used to eat this way and they didn't get a particularl disease, that other factors might be the reason. Perhaps, if the people eating this diet were small tribes, they were at that point in history when it is though contagious diseases did not take hold because of the size of the groups. Or some such other thing. So I am very interested in why people believe the diet to be the answer to the problems of many of these diseases, not just statements that the paleo diet is the answer.
