I have heard that the blood group type diet works. For example O group should primaririly eat meat. And AB vegetarian as meat makes their blood sticky.Is anyone else here in to it? Is yes, could you share with me resources? Regards IP: Logged |

http://www.dadamo.com/ I don't know if i "buy into" this guy's schtick. Seems as though you have to buy the book to get the inside scoop. I've been a strict vegetarian, bordering on vegan, for 22 years now.My blood type is A positive and i don't miss meat of any kind at all. Here's a nice "opposing"/"dissenting" view:

I like the attitude that people are different and need different things. Tobacco is harmful to anyone, but what is good for me, may not be that good for you. I don't think it says that O group should primarily eat meat (but I'll go and check), but just that vegetarianism is not the healthiest choice for them. It certainly applies to me, I need some meat. Not that much and not that often, but strict vegetarianism didn't work for me. My mum is just fine without meat. I liked the book, because it simply confirmed the things I had learned for myself the hard way. However, I haven't bothered with losing weight so I don't know if it worked with this regard. I'll scout my files, if I find something more, I'll post it.

Mine, type B is supposed to be fine with dairy. I just eliminated all dairy fats from my diet and never felt better in my life. I guess you could say that dairy is ok for my type, just not the dairy fats. I don't recall if this is specified in the book.IP: Logged |

Personally I don't believe that blood type testing is sufficient DNA analysis for identification of specific dietery needs.If you understood what your blood type tells you, you would understand that blood type alone does not indicate what your body needs, nor what it may be deficient in. It cannot provide the essential information to back up it's claims. Extensive blood work yes, but just blood type alone? No! Please also bear in mind that certain foods are less tolerated by people generally as well. All kinds of things need to be acknowledged in individual cases. I don't discount the fact that blood types fall into groups, and that these groups show certain similarities, only that blood type alone is not enough.  Gia IP: Logged |

Gia, Thanks. And where do you do the DNA analysis for idetary needs. Does the insurance co. in US reimburse you?
I didn't realize we are so advanced.

I was a vegetarian for almost 10 years and am an O positive group. For most of that time i dreamed of meat, especially chicken and in the end went back to eating it and feel much better now. I read my blood group is called the "hunter/gatherer" so I presume that we are more healthier eating meat. I hope this helps xIP: Logged |

My hubby has type O blood, and was told by a Naturopath that his blood type requires more protein than others. She said he didn't necessarily have to get that protein through meat sources, but that the need for protein was much higher.He has tried to be Vegetarian several times, and each time he becomes VERY irritable and depressed. He has low energy, loss of ability to concentrate. Once he began to eat meat again, all of this turned around. My question for you, Gia, is... How do we find out through his DNA what his dietary needs are? Are there specific tests we can request from the doctor? It made sense to me that it was his blood type, but it also makes sense that it would be more than just blood type that has to do with this issue. Now I'm  IP: Logged |

Sorry guys, but the Blood Type Diet is a load of carp. If molecules really bonded together like it describes, everyone on Earth who ever ate outside that diet would show huge necrotized areas of the brain, lungs, and many other organs during autopsy, and that just isn't happening. There is absolutely no scientific evidence to corroborate any of the claims of the book. In fact, science disproves it quite susinctly. Also, if someone tries to talk you into taking one of those Vega tests, just walk away. Total bunk. A group of scientists did several double blind studies with a group of people who were proven to have cat saliva allergies, one group with proven dairy allergies, and one group proven free of those allergies. All were proven with skin tests, which are extremely accurate. The Vega tests were not able to distinguish which people had which allergies and which were allergy free any more accurately than simple guessing by an observer. But don't take my word for it. Google it and a lot of the scientific reports will come up. Not that I think science is the be-all end end-all of everything, but some evidence is pretty straightforward and reasonable.IP: Logged |

There are blood tests your doctor can do. However many of them refuse do them. A normal blood count does not suffice. It may indicate an extreme abnormality, but it won't tell you what you need. There are private DNA labs but they cost and it ain't cheap. Crystalline blood tests and hair tests are a good indication also. Hair - normally for hard metals and mineral toxins, the blood test will look at your cells and determine what you may need. Those would probably set you back about $300 - $400. Maybe cheaper outside California. It's not as accurate as your DNA profile of course. Nordstrom are doing the DNA face cream now. They take a swab from your mouth and send it off. A face cream is then made for your specific skin. Face cream sells for arounf $450 - $500 and I think the eye cream is $375. Hopefully it will get cheaper, although remember, DNA testing has it's own implications. Gia IP: Logged |

i agree with you fish kitten...all you have to do to stay healthy is not put sh*t in your mouth... ie, anything that glows luminous pink or lights up in the dark....  IP: Logged |
