Lots of us tried to regain health by tweaking acid/base balance; it did 
not work.
He drags in that tired old evolution stuff, calls it a template (a 
template is fixed - it does not change in time/evolve), then ignores it.
Those who eat raw zero carb report acid piss and increased bone 
density/stronger teeth.

He carefully does not tell us where our paleolithic ancestors got these 
fruits and vegetables.

Same old Cordain.
