          I've been strictly Paleo for 15 months now and I have never felt better.  I also stated working out at a CrossFit gym the same week and the combination has resulted in a 60 pound weight loss (from size 12-14 to 0-2, well sometimes a 4), 125# back squat, 215# deadlift and I am 54 years old.  Does do anything for melanoma? I have no idea, but I am over the chronic back pain I've had for 10 years from 3 herniated discs, arthritis, scoliosis and a sacral cyst.  Besides that, I figure it can never be wrong to be fit and healthy if melanoma decides to come back for me the third time.

          I even started a blog and will be happy to point you in the direction of some good books if you are interested.
