I could easily imagine a physician rolling his eyes up at the mention of
"Paleolithic" or "Neanderthin".  MD's seem conditioned to object to any
diet which is not named for a pyramid.  But, if you repackaged the diet as:
 "eating lots of vegetables, fruit, lean meats, fish, olive oil and gave up
coffee (for you brave folks) and sugar", then I would be surprised if he or
she could find much to object to.
