Subject:	Dr. D., Paleo Diet- Too acidic? When I stopped meat, my body released acid for 2 weeks!
Date:	September 3, 2012 at 9:11 am PST

Dr. D., My son-in-law is just as passionate about the Paleo diet as I am about 80/10/10. He's a fireman and is very muscular. He looks great but he does get sick at times. It makes me nervous that my daughter could become a widow at a young age, because of all the meat and fat he eats(almond butter and coco oil). When I got off meat 14 years ago, My body released a clear liquid for 2 weeks like a menstrual cycle, that burned horribly. That was enough to keep me from eating meat again. My body did the same thing about 7 years ago when I went raw. He feeds my granddaughters the Paleo diet as well(even the 1 yr old). It's so hard when we eat together. Of course, my husband and my sons want to eat his way too, when we're all together. I'm really struggling.They will drink smoothies and juice, but they refuse to go raw. I'm personally afraid to be the one to cook food and make them sick. So, I told them I will only fix raw for them and they will have to fix their own cooked food. But, it's not working. We never sit down to eat as a family, I'm concerned about not having memories around the table. We tend to eat out instead so everyone can get want they want. Should I give in and fix their food? Thanks, GC
