Guest guest Posted September 24, 2004 Report Share Posted September 24, 2004 Does it differentiate between secretor and non secretor? arthritis book I received the arthritis book a few week ago...but my one and a half year old isn't cooperating with me reading it yet (!)....any comments from someone who has read it is welcomed. In glancing through, I did notice that D'Adamo categorizes foods by superbeneficial, beneficial, neutral-allowed frequently, neutral- allowed infrequently, and avoid. (With pepeprs and tomatoes on the infrequent list) and rice allowed infreqeuent as compared to several grains like soy, spelt, Ezekiel bread etc as allowed neutral frequent. Black beans and norhtern bean are also on the frequent list. Interesting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 25, 2004 Report Share Posted September 25, 2004 Being a single mom and all...is there a cheaper way of finding out if you're a secretor or not? Is one so overwhelmingly more common that it's safe to assume that's you, unless you're having problems? I'm a single mom (and I have a senior in highschool - you might as well call me an ATM) and money's a little tight right now... ;-) Ellen -- Original Message ----- From: " Bumpas " <lindabumpas@...> < > Sent: Friday, September 24, 2004 11:34 PM Subject: Re: arthritis book > Does it differentiate between secretor and non secretor? > > > > arthritis book > > > I received the arthritis book a few week ago...but my one and a half > year old isn't cooperating with me reading it yet (!)....any > comments from someone who has read it is welcomed. > > In glancing through, I did notice that D'Adamo categorizes foods by > superbeneficial, beneficial, neutral-allowed frequently, neutral- > allowed infrequently, and avoid.

Guest guest Posted September 25, 2004 Report Share Posted September 25, 2004 Ellen, How long have you been eating this way and were you having any health probelems before you started this way of eating? What differences have you noticed since you began? I'm not trying to attack here. If you have been on it a while ( I've been extra busy here lately, and haven't kept up with who has spoken up on the list like I used to try to do.) and been 90 to 100% compliant, you may have noticed things like more energy, weight loss or better distribution of weight, etc. If you have been good about avoiding the avoids, you have possibly noticed they effect you differently now when you are tempted and try them. You can use up all the things that are avoids for the non-secretors, and start using only their list for a few weeks. If you notice a big difference, I'd stay with non-secretor diet then. If not then change back. This is something Heidi suggested in her column " On the Diet " .

Guest guest Posted September 25, 2004 Report Share Posted September 25, 2004 I like the 4 week phase ins that he uses in all this series. For arthritis I believe you need to aim for 2 beneficial proteins per day. The exercise recommendation is also a mix of aerobics and weight training, 2 days per week of each. I especially like the supplement recommendations. He gives a little more guidance on how to use them, for example take a week or two break, then OK to restart a regimen. > I received the arthritis book a few week ago...but my one and a half > year old isn't cooperating with me reading it yet (!)....any > comments from someone who has read it is welcomed. > > In glancing through, I did notice that D'Adamo categorizes foods by > superbeneficial, beneficial, neutral-allowed frequently, neutral- > allowed infrequently, and avoid.

Guest guest Posted September 25, 2004 Report Share Posted September 25, 2004 I don't know of a cheaper way, but 80% are secretors so it is a fairly safe assumption that you are a secretor. Having had a broken bone or lots of cavities is a hint that you might be a non-secretor, but I had both and turned out to be a secretor. Non-secretors tend to react more strongly to a lot of the grain avoids. Just following the guidelines for secretors should be a big improvements on most diets.

Guest guest Posted September 26, 2004 Report Share Posted September 26, 2004 The only broken bones I've ever had were self-inflicted <LOL> (throwing a bale of hay in high school and got my hand caught in the twine...instant broken fingers - yes, multiple). I've got a few cavities, but from childhood. The only way that I react to grains - well, I have plantar fascitis in one foot and within a half hour of eating white bread I have trouble putting weight on that foot. Although I react to sugar as well, and white bread just goes so well with honey...so I guess I'm not really sure which I'm reacting to. I don't react to granola style cereal, whole grain bread or dairy (unless it's sugar sweetened yogurt) My biggest " avoid " that I don't seem to be able to give up is my coffee in the morning...I have soy milk and a little molasses/stevia in it and always with breakfast (which I do really well being otherwise compliant with). I also need to do more research into the supplement issue. I'm attempting to be very good about an anti-aging regimin and a couple of the supplements are on the " avoid list " . Vitamin E and A (I take that in the form of beta-carotine, not " regular " A - and my mom is dealing with macular degeneration, as is an aunt so I'm extra cautious about that) I've discovered that manna bread is one of my favorites and I just got a sprouter and next weekend I'm going to tackle making my own! ;-) ;-) Ellen Re: arthritis book > I don't know of a cheaper way, but 80% are secretors so it is a > fairly safe assumption that you are a secretor.

Guest guest Posted December 27, 2008 Report Share Posted December 27, 2008 I found this book on arthritis, maybe somebody will be interested. I'm trying to get social security and from the research I've done they (ssi) use this book as a guide. books.google.com/books?

Guest guest Posted December 30, 2008 Report Share Posted December 30, 2008 Great tip, another one is to have every Dr and all info for the practice like phone, address and why you see that DR. I had 10 years of history but only one year of ReA, I listed every major illness, surgery and eye problems. All medications I take, what dose and DR. It was 4 pages long and the girl at SS office was so happy I wrote it all down. I keep it also for any new DRs I see too. The more information, the better chance you have of being approved the first time. MK > > I found this book on arthritis, maybe somebody will be interested.
