Jim:

Good question. I don't know the answer, so a new research item.
Whose is Dr Ron Rosedal?

I think it important not to mimic contemporary notions of what Paleos did
for eating habits. Bereft of written language, we can guess their habits
were based on what was available to hunter/scavengers. What's more, we've
intellectually evolved far beyond them, including contemporary sciences
giving us information and clues.
In terms of optimizing peak performance and staving off the catabolic state
of aging, maintaining an anabolic condition in response to fitness imposed
stress is of paramount importance. In exercise and nutritional sciences,
protein requirements are set higher than for the sedated and unfit. That
includes recommendation of six smaller meals daily, a mix of high protein,
fat, and fiber rich vegetables with some fruit. Cut back the protein and you
cut back the anabolic benefit, suggesting protein synthesis is an ongoing
dynamic process - with some of those aminos use for polypeptides we know as
enzymes and hormone like catalysts.

In a healthy, fit person, protein triggering insulin response is a step
toward protein synthesis. Remember, insulin is far more powerful than
testosterone for anabolism - it's become a major ingredient in the arsenal
of  performance enhancing drugs.

Years ago I briefly flirted with a vegetarian diet, something I quickly
dropped since it precipitated the only incident of gout in my life! In that
time Bill Pearl, three time Mr Universe and long time vegetarian offered an
insight. Given vegetarianism does not provide biologically complete aminos,
he reminded me protein uptake is not an 'all or nothing' deal - aminos
remain in tact and in use for days  after ingestion - they have a half life.
So I suspect the answer we'd both dearly like to hear includes some
recognition of amino acid half lives.

The ammonia/kidney concern about high protein has been shown to be a fluke,
a modern urban myth likely originating in the anti-meat campaign of a
century ago.

What the exigencies of life may have imposed on Paleos is of little concern
to me. In my training and that of students, we're making use of contemporary
science, thereby taking a huge step forward beyond the erratic conditions of
Paleos.

Let's see what the knowledge base can contribute. I'll post anything I find.
The orthomolecular people are generally a good starting source. Are yall
familiar with the Pauling-Rath method of cleaning out arterial plaque by
means of use of lysine, praline, and ascorbic acid. I've seen clinical
records of people going from 95 percentile blockage to zero in a short span
of a year.
