coconut oil and blood clots

[Guest guest]

I have been reading Bruce Fife's books and have started using coconut oil for

many reasons. I have a close friend who goes to a naturalist-type health

practioner who apparently bases many of her recomendations on eating for your

blood type. When she heard my friend was now using coconut oil, she scared the

wits out of her saying emphatically that she studied blood types for years and

that coconut oil will cause blood clots and to get rid of it. Can anyone help

with info related specifically for blood clot formation and coconut oil? My

friend's daugher is suffering from chronic pain and weakness, debilitating

headaches and swollen lymph glands and I just want her to have everything she

can to fight whatever her body is fighting. Thank you!

While I cannot find a clinical rebuttal (Bruce Fife, are you around?), I

will say that I believe Dr. D'Adamo never bothered to update his first

book where he declared coconut oil to be a forbidden food for all blood

types.

When he wrote his first edition, there was no Virgin Coconut Oil on the

market, only the hydrogenated variety which practitioners from all walks

of health care were rightly warning against.

I was very interested in the Blood Type Diet---at first. There have been

so many scientific studies that could not verify what D'Adamo claimed,

then reports from people with, say, Type A blood who were feeling their

best on a high meat, low carb diet, and other " infractions " from his

" shoulds " , that I no longer believe his accuracy.

That said, there may still be something to " some " of it, but a lot more

research needs to be done.

I have Type O blood and have no problem using Virgin Coconut Oil.

We can deal with ER4YT in a single sentence. Eat right for your type is pretty

much half true; it's the other half, the myth half, that gets you. Proponents

usually don't know the difference.

Some of everything you read on coconut oil is a guess. The strongest natural

immune system strengthening and detoxifying molecule is glutathione. I'd suggest

drinking lots of water as well. But, really, only a detailed look will pull out

the real reason your friend is sick. For that we health advisors use some lab

work and a diet and lifestyle analysis, not a guess that VCO will do something.

That's a pretty nebulous thought, lacks focus.

all good,

Duncan

I looked  into the blood type diet some years ago.  I could find NO

research or evidence to back up the assertions of this diet.  If I had

a health practitioner who recommended the blood type diet, I would

fire him or her.

Metabolic Typing or Nutritional Typing (Mercola's site has a free

assessment/test) is a more accurate approach.

Blood Typing has too many holes in it and outdated!

I've talked to people that have had negative experiences (although hard to

verify the cause). I wouldn't use it!

Concerning your fear of coconut oil and blood clots, I would encourage you this

way. I think your best tool is right in your hands. Just keep reading Bruce

Fife's books. Encourage your friend to get them, too, if she does not have them.

I have a copy of the EFYBT diet, too. I studied it and tried to make it a part

of my life. But one big AVOID for my blood type was CO. I tried to avoid it, but

this was just out of the question in my mind. This oil has far too many proofs

of health and I just could not believe it was dangerous for me. I'd rather

believe the information obtained on the oil itself first, not the scant

information on the diet. The website tropicaltraditions.com also has much

information on the site, and they have a book. I bought this book before I heard

about Bruce Fife. This is the basis of which I am responding to your question.

Believe the book. :-)
