This implies that people living the "paleo life" are never sick,
a conclusion that is hard to credit.  Even Jean Liedloff's book,
The Continuum Concept, a book that extolls the stone age
hunter-gatherer way of of life of the Yeqwana Indians, does not
go that far.  Liedloff does not shirk from describing some of the
illnesses suffered by these people.  Likewise, Colin Turnbull, in
The Forest People, certainly doesn't give the impression that
these isolated hunter-gatherers are immune to all ills.

The "diseases of civilization" are not the only diseases there
are.
