Problems with high carb diets and allergies are not mutually exclusive.
It is possible for a person to have one, another, or both. These
particular
two may very well have had allergies.

And what is so unnatural about low carb diets? If you look into
paleolithic
nutrition you'll find out it's pretty close to low carb and it's also
what
our ancestors ate, quite naturally.

What, if I may ask, is so risky about low carb diet? Do you really know
much about low carb diets? If not, may be you should look into them
before you call them risky.

I am as far from being loyal to conventional medical techniques and the
basic four food group diet. That should be obvious by the various things
I say here. Advocating a low carb diet is hardly orthodox medicine.
Labeling somebody in an effort to defeat their argument is rather
pointless, even when it's true.

What has he written and about what? What relevance does it have to this?
