while modifying it for the needs of an endurance athlete and guy who likes an occasional pint of Ben & Jerry's.

And copious amounts of barley, malt and hops

Ah yes, hoppy goodness. I was going to throw that in, but it's a given around here. In fact, I'm swinging by Total Wine tonight to stock up. Eddie O's in town!

That site was what generated my initial response. I found the link on your blog yesterday and spent some time reading it. That particular page reinforces what Friel says about the Paleo diet modified for athletes. The concept is really good and I strive to attain it, while modifying it for the needs of an endurance athlete and guy who likes an occasional pint of Ben & Jerry's.

Ditto Harv.  I tell you what, changing the way I eat was the single best thing I did to improve my skills in 2008.  In 2007 it was getting a wobble naught fit and getting a 29er.

I'm no scientist but something about this sounded very-unscientific to me so i did some googling:

Seeing one's own blood cells on a video screen is, admittedly, a powerful experience. It gives patients the impression of hi-tech, cutting edge science combined with holistic care. And impressed patients are ready to part with a lot of money. American websites explain how a practitioner can make $100,000 (£57,000) annually by purchasing the equipment necessary for performing LBA. The bulk of this money is made not through charging for the test itself but by selling expensive nutritional supplements to the patient with the promise that these will correct whatever abnormality has been diagnosed.

Me I don't trust doctors - I attribute my exceptional health and well-being to my Q-Ray Ionized bracelet:

Just kidding...but seriously you should be careful out there...there is science and there is pseudo-science

No science involved here. Its a visual aid, see for yourself. Recommendations made are only that, based on practioners personal experiences.  Not allowed to diagnose  or prescribe. AMA has lobbied  to have exclusivity in that regard.
