I have sold my book at several "Alternative" health fairs.  I have also advertised in Alternative health
magazines.  I do not consider Paleolithic Nutrition to be alternative.

To write my book, I consulted with Mike and Mary-Dan Eades MDs who have a sucessful weight loss practice and
have published several books on nutrition, S. Boyd Eaton M.D. who has lectured on paleolithic nutrition on a
regular basis at several medical schools (including Harvard), a University pathology professor and researcher
(Loren Cordain), Richard K. Bernstein MD, a pioneer in the treatment of Diabetes, and the Chairman of the
Anthropology dept. at Texas A&M  University, Vaughn Bryant (also a full prof. of biochemistry).  All took the
time to read and review my manuscripts. The majority of references in my bibliography are from peer reviewed
journals. A significant percentage of my books have been sold to medical professionals and several doctors have
consulted with me about changing their nutritional recomendations.

About the only thing about "NeanderThin" that is "Alternative" is its' author!  Those on the list who have met
me know what I mean;).
