Hi, Charles.  I see we have something in common here.  Perhaps you'd like to
discuss philosophy and anthropology a bit more.  I know I certainly enjoy
these two topics, but they're not necessarily appropriate for a diet
discussion group.  We can "talk" directly, if you want to.    You can email
me at [log in to unmask]  Thanks for your email.  I look forward to possible
future discussions.  Kimberly

Nice quote... I've just read that somewhere!  I am sure you are correct in
that native/paleo people knew well how to take care of this problem, and by
no means did they die before it became a problem. Native peoples live long
and active lives, in general, and I am sure that paleo people did also. You
might find some insights by studying the ethnographic and anthropological
literature -  Native American herbal remedies, for example.
