The theory behind the Paleolithic Diet, short-named the Paleo Diet, is that mimicking the diet of our ancestors some 10,000 years ago - prior to the European construction of the agriculture and grain-based diet - is the healthiest way to live.

Also referred to as the caveman diet, Stone Age diet and hunter-gatherer diet, the Paleo Diet is focused on avoiding refined foods, trans fat, dairy and sugar, and consuming lean proteins; fresh vegetables and fruits; and healthy fats through nuts, seeds, avocados, fish oil and grass-fed meat. Among the touted health benefits are improved blood lipids, weight loss, and reduced pain from autoimmunity...

In a 2007 study comparing the Mediterranean and Paleo diets, the Paleo Diet group reversed the signs and symptoms of insulin resistant, Type 2 diabetes. Meanwhile the group practicing a Mediterranean Diet experienced little to no improvements.

While a number of gastroenteroligists and other doctors have reintroduced the Paleo Diet over the past several decades, Robb Wolf, author of The New York Times best-selling bookThe Paleo Solution: The Original Human Diet, has the been one of the strongest forces in popularizing the ancient diet that humans subsisted on for some 2.5 million years.

• In vaccines we trust?

Paul Offit believes that exempting your child from vaccination is morally reprehensible. He considers himself an authority on autism, all infectious diseases, morality, history, every religious system, and infant immunology. You may also recognize Dr. Offit as the one who says that all vaccines are perfectly safe and infants can tolerate theoretically 10,000 of them at once:

" A more practical way to determine the diversity of the immune response would be to estimate the number of vaccines to which a child could respond at one time.... each infant would have the theoretical capacity to respond to about 10, 000 vaccines at any one time." [1]

The status accorded to him by the pharmaceutical and medical fields permits him to influence the opinions and practice of lower rung physicians regarding vaccine exemptions. Unfortunately, even doctors will simply believe the "expert"^[2] without bothering to go and check their own medical literature, to see if the self-proclaimed expertise has a solid scientific foundation. Research shows that when people listen to the expert, the part of their brains that is capable of independent thought goes to sleep.^[3]
