Personally, I wouldn't want to eat a ketogenic diet (cyclical or not) for  
long periods of time.  It's very hard to have any variety in your diet and  
still maintain ketosis -- at least it was for me.  It seems that it would  
be even harder if you were combining it with paleo, since you woulnd't be  
including any dairy.  It's also pretty easy to overdo it on the "carb up"  
days (though again, not as easy with paleo).  Whether it's healthier or  
not, I don't know, though I do think it would make more sense to get your  
nutrients spread out over time from a variety of foods, rather than trying  
to fit everything into a day or two, then rely on proteins and fats for  
the rest of the week.
