It may not be 100% paleo, but its absolutely fascinating.I've never heard of
anything like it. I almost wsh I 'd get sick again so that I could try it out. I
saw some TV program the other night about how scientists followed apes around to
see what they ate when they were sick, maybe thats how the papaya thing started. Do
you know anything else like this? Tell us more,
