Really fascinating stuff. He researched both Vitamin A and carotene.

It is basically based on old studies from the 20's and 30's where rats were fed a vit a free diet and died, but also anmials fed vit A did not get infectious diseases.
The author mean vit A is anti septic and prevents infections, but some studies were conflicting.
The author brings up cod liver oil as being excellent (which we know is poison) and the author believes a ketogenic diet with high intake of A rich foods like butter and eggs to be the optimal diet because the masai were healthy with less infectious diseases than another african grain based tribe which had more infectious disease.
I read the whole thing and I could easily debunk the whole thing as well, by starting to look at the studies he cites to see material and method section. What we need to remember: correlation does not imply causation.
