Are there any current authority figures that support paleo?

What was wrong with your timing?  Maybe I missed something in your  
other emails.

Also I forgot to suggest to you Jim, have you read Not All In The Mind  
by Richard Mackarness?  He was a doctor and was very successful at  
treating mental illness with elimination diets.  He was also a  
believer in paleo eating, although he doesn't make a big thing about  
it in his book.  Possibly the most interesting thing to point out to  
Larry would be the description in there of the unbelievable extent he  
had to go to (if I remember right, liquid food in opaque containers,  
injected directly into the stomach)  convince other doctors that it  
wasn't a mind game and the food was in fact the cause of the illness.   
Possibly something like this will help someone who is still conned by  
medicine.
