http://www.amazon.com/Bone-Building-Solution-Sam-Graci/dp/0470838914/sr=8-1/

Warning: the Greens+ product that Sam Graci created and sells contains the
following non-Paleo ingredients:

Soy Lecithin
Barley Grass Powder
Wheat Grass Powder
Hydroponic Soy Sprouts
Brown Rice Bran
Sprouted Barley Malt
Alfalfa Grass Powder

Graci promotes "green drinks," of which his is one of the top sellers, and
other non-Paleo foods in The Bone-Building Solution. Here are some excerpts
(emphases mine):

<<When you eat any green colour-coded food like broccoli, lettuce, parsley,
or a "GREEN DRINK" that has gone through the miracle of photosynthesis
(making our vital oxygen as a waste product and consuming our deadly,
exhaled carbon dioxide as a fuel), you are getting, among other things, lots
of vitamin K1.>>

<<eat a color coded "cell friendly" alkaline diet, emphasizing fresh salads,
vegetables, herbs, spices, "GREEN DRINKS", berries and brightly colored
fruit>>

<<Soy consumption is probably helpful as part of a program to help build
bone.  But, in my opinion, it should only be fermented organic non-GMO
soy.>>

While the book agrees with Dr. Cordain on the importance of
alkalizing/acidifying balance in foods and the possibility of calcium
overload from eating too much calcium in forms that are poorly absorbed
(usually from dairy products), it is not Paleo in other respects, as the
list of non-Paleo Greens+ ingredients and the book excerpts indicate.

You can peruse some of Demarco and Graci's book here
http://www.drdemarco.com/chapters.html before buying the book, which I do
not recommend.
