Blood type diet

[Guest guest]

Hi Olif,

I am sure I am feeling better with the combo of the candida diet as

well. I have realized though that type b's can tolerate dairy and I

don't seem to have ANY problems with drinking skim milk or eating

natural yogurt. I love both of these and that was really hard to

give up on the candida diet. I also realized that Wheat is a big NO

NO for my type. I have eliminated ALL wheat and of course it wasn't

too difficult because I haven't been eating bread for a long time on

the cand. diet. I found some organic Millet cereal and it's

awesome - it's very low in sugar and it comes packaged like corn

flake - minus the corn and it's very crispy. I eat that in the am

with some skim milk and sometimes a little (1/2 at most) bannana

with a half pkt. of xylitol. I will keep you posted on my body

reaction the next time I try some popcorn.

I've always been wary of the blood type diet as I find his reasoning a

bit strange. Also, I try to think if people were eating like that two

hundred years ago? If not, then how come the diseases of the bowels are

such new things to human beings (people had them before, but not to the

same extent)?

I would rather experiment with different foods to find out what I can

and can't eat. I keep a close watch on my reactions and work it out

from there.

Re: blood type diet

I have been reading this too. I have a problem with how he determines

the carb, fat, and protein amounts for the various blood types. Maybe

there is something to the lectin stuff, maybe not, but I don't see how

he can justify a vegetarian, high carbohydrate diet for a type A just

because of low stomach acid. Being an A, I definitely cannot tolerate

dairy, like he says. I also have poor digestion, which I am prone to, he

says.

Do you see any correlation with your personality and what he claims as

the personality of a B?

I recently took a test which revealed my adrenals are extremely

fatigued. My ND thought my blood work looked fine (adrenal test was

urine and saliva). She talked with me about stress in my life, etc. and

made the comment that I have been living like a type O personality when

I am type A. I have only met with her twice, but she does use blood type

somewhat. She has made comments that I have digestive problems typical

for my type.

She doesn't follow the diet completely. She recommends that everyone

avoid soy. She isn't fat phobic either, and she wants me to have protein

everytime I eat. She has made comments that A's commonly have problems

with dairy, gluten, and eggs (although he lists eggs as a neutral for A,

I can't have them). She never recommends a high carb diet, that I know

of. I haven't discussed blood type diets with her yet, but I would like

right now we are really working on my adrenals and the time goes by so

quickly! Basically, I get the impression that she does see connections

according to blood type, but she tweaks the diet where she sees fit. She

never recommends a vegetarian diet either.

I see a lot of " type A diseases " in my family. It is interesting.

Please keep us updated on your progress! I am trying to eliminate

tomatoes and potatoes (2 of my lectins that I eat) and eat more fish to

see if I notice a difference.

I am not sure about the Blood type diet either, but I do know that I came up as

iGg allergic to a couple of things that I am supposed to avoid as a blood type A

- specifically kidney beans. I am also supposed to avoid milk, which has never

agreed with me. It's interesting.

does inyone know the relationship between B negative and candida???

Wow- I came up IgG to kidney beans too, and I am also A. I thought it was really

strange, because that isn't something I ate too often. That really is

interesting that you had the same result!

Do the positives and negatives after a blood type matter? So is an O

positive the same a O negative when it comes to the Blood Type Diet?

Hi, Shefy. Here is a link to the guy's website: http://www.dadamo.com/.

I would really recommend the book with caution though, because it contains a lot

of his bias and it is difficult to separate that from his lectin research. Here

is a summary I recently wrote to a friend of mine (I am not trained in any of

this or a doctor- it is just my summary of the book!):

Okay, I have been spending a little more time reading and thinking about this

book. I have come to the conclusion that you really have to know your stuff to

be able to wade through the book and separate his opinion out of his research.

He, IMO, should have written 2 books- one discussing lectins and blood types and

another discussing his nutritional point of view. I don't know enough to pick

out all the false assumptions he is making.

He is definitely biased against fat, particularly saturated fats. He says

coconut oil " is high in saturated fat and of no nutritional value. " That is why

it is on everyone's avoid list. I didn't find this opinion out, though, until I

was reading about type O, which tend to have coconut sensitivities.

His reasoning for leaving out red meats for types As is simply because they

produce low stomach acid and they are prone to heart disease. Well, we all know

that red meat causes heart disease! (Much sarcasm there!)

He leaves cantaloupe and honeydew out for everyone because of molds. I really

don't think this should be in a blood type book.

He says that type Os should avoid members of the cabbage family (I know that

isn't the name)- everything except broccoli, probably because it is widely

recognized that broccoli has numerous health benefits. His reasoning for leaving

all the other foods from the family out are because type Os tend to have thyroid

problems. What he doesn't mention is that any of the thyroid inhibitory

compounds are neutralized with cooking! So, it is true you probably shouldn't

eat much of them raw, but you can eat them cooked. He also neglects the

sensitive thyroids of type Os when he recommends soy as a bean that is highly

beneficial!

There is stuff like this all over in his book! I think he probably really has

something with the lectins, maybe with personality traits and disease proneness,

but a lot of the book is biased garbage IMO. I really would like to read it more

closely to try to pick out the " good stuff " , because I really think it is

there...somewhere. One good way would be to look at the avoid list of all the

groups to find foods they all contain- these are probably based on his bias.

Unfortunately that isn't going to catch all of them.

Thanks,

Olif

I read a few chapters of his book and put it away myself. I think there are so

many more genetic factors than just your blood type that controls what foods you

should eat. I think your family origin and their food is what you tolerate the

most. Problem with that is so many people are mixed...everywhere now. Your

blood type doesn't always reflect your genetic tolerances or intolerances.

I would be willing to bet the popcorn had whey or casein as one of the flavoring

ingredients.

" I think there are so many more genetic factors than just your blood type that

controls what foods you should eat. "

I agree that blood type is something so small in the big picture. Do you know

anything about the claims of lectins, though? That is what is catching my

attention. I am wondering if food proteins really can clot in your blood based

on your blood antigens and if that even really matters. He even claims that our

body takes care of 95% of them.

hi sylvia, i download your free book on my computer, it is a masterpiece, I have

sent it to other friends. I have many problems I do not know where to start,

but probably you give me some advise, or u can talk to someone in your area

about dmy problem.

1. i believe i have candida, so i do not use sugars,white flour, white rice,

some time i do not know what to eat, but i have lost wait and I notice that my

skin is better looking i stop drinking milk and use coconut milk, but all my

life as far as i can remember I am suffering from bad breath, i have been to the

dentist, the more i brushed the worst it is, in my early years i did not have

much friends and people did not like me for no reason, and i was in a state of

denial because i keep saying nothing is wrong with me.

i try to keep up with my diet but sometime I can't afford it because i live

from paycheck to paycheck and i do not have a relationship, i am attractive

person and look good in the body and educated, but everything goes wrong when I

opened my mouth, my mom had bad breath too, but I think she did not practise

good hygiene, but I do. All my life {crying} when i walk by people that i know

would either clear their throat or offer a gum or mint when i walk by , these

stuff make the problem worst, i have thought of suicide, i cry a lot I was fired

from two restaurant jobs. I am always brushing, looking at the back of my

throat,{ listerine, peroxide makes it worst, I tired breath RX, Therabreath, no

results} and my left tonsils had a white, yellowish stuff coming out ot it, i

was scared and shocked, anyway I took a ear swab and try to remove it, and ms

sylvis the scent was awful, the stuff smell awful, and then i have the same

smell in my left nostril, WHY ME IS IT A CURSE? i do

not know what to do, i still follow the candida diet because i have it, and

matter how I brush my tongue I find it is too white, I have know one i could

talk too, i have no friend, because as soon as i open my mouth a fowl smell

comes out, this yellow, whitish stuff, appears daily, i take them out and use

peroxide and the smell will go away for a while, I want to go to a throad

specialist but i won't have no money until October, so i keep to myself, it i

have to talk, i will stay far away from a person or turn my face and talk or

back a few feet away, i just neeed some advise PLEASE, i have a filling a

longtime ago. what is wrong with me.

thank you for reading

He is definitely biased against fat, particularly saturated fats. He says

coconut oil " is high in saturated fat and of no nutritional value. " That is why

it is on everyone's avoid list. I didn't find this opinion out, though, until I

was reading about type O, which tend to have coconut sensitivities.

His reasoning for leaving out red meats for types As is simply because they

produce low stomach acid and they are prone to heart disease. Well, we all know

that red meat causes heart disease! (Much sarcasm there!)

He leaves cantaloupe and honeydew out for everyone because of molds. I really

don't think this should be in a blood type book.

He says that type Os should avoid members of the cabbage family (I know that

isn't the name)- everything except broccoli, probably because it is widely

recognized that broccoli has numerous health benefits. His reasoning for leaving

all the other foods from the family out are because type Os tend to have thyroid

problems. What he doesn't mention is that any of the thyroid inhibitory

compounds are neutralized with cooking! So, it is true you probably shouldn't

eat much of them raw, but you can eat them cooked. He also neglects the

sensitive thyroids of type Os when he recommends soy as a bean that is highly

beneficial!

There is stuff like this all over in his book! I think he probably really has

something with the lectins, maybe with personality traits and disease proneness,

hi sylvia, i download your free book on my computer, it is a masterpiece, I have

sent it to other friends. I have many problems I do not know where to start,

but probably you give me some advise, or u can talk to someone in your area

about dmy problem.

1. i believe i have candida, so i do not use sugars,white flour, white rice,

some time i do not know what to eat, but i have lost wait and I notice that my

skin is better looking i stop drinking milk and use coconut milk, but all my

life as far as i can remember I am suffering from bad breath, i have been to the

dentist, the more i brushed the worst it is, in my early years i did not have

much friends and people did not like me for no reason, and i was in a state of

denial because i keep saying nothing is wrong with me.

i try to keep up with my diet but sometime I can't afford it because i live

from paycheck to paycheck and i do not have a relationship, i am attractive

person and look good in the body and educated, but everything goes wrong when I

opened my mouth, my mom had bad breath too, but I think she did not practise

good hygiene, but I do. All my life {crying} when i walk by people that i know

would either clear their throat or offer a gum or mint when i walk by , these

stuff make the problem worst, i have thought of suicide, i cry a lot I was fired

from two restaurant jobs. I am always brushing, looking at the back of my

I did a brief search for this and it says that these white plaques on the

tonsils are usually strep bacteria. As you learn more to eat healthy, Your

immune system should overcome these colonies of bacteria and yeasts. For now I

would suggest some hot teas in the evening, plenty of water during the day. And

pay attention to the immune reactions that food cause. These reactions cause

lymphatic drainage and warm moist places for the bacteria to trive on.

Milk was a good thing to cut out. Now watch for foods that contain casein, and

whey to see if they cause you to have an immune reaction.

I have planted parsley in my herb garden and after I clean my teeth at night

with brushing, flossing and peroxide. I will chew up some parsley to clean my

teeth and palet. Other strong herbs like fresh mint, Yarrow and lemonbalm can

easily be grown in pots or small beds around a house or apartment. All of these

make great teas and they keep growing. Watch out some can take over beds.

Thanks for passing it on.

For cancer, I suggest a raw diet.

I also suggest a high fat, low carb diet.

I also suggest eliminating all grains, beans and potatoes and all

nightshades as they are highly acidic and inflammation causing.

The technical description is raw paleolithic diet: high fat / low carb.

See http://www.rawpaleoforum.com

This may be vegan for wrecked digestive systems, and can include raw

animal foods and fats for healthy digestive systems. Add animal foods

once your digestive system has healed.

For raw vegan instructions:

http://www.curelibrary.com/blog/health-notes/raw-for-life-dvd-must-have-must-see\

/

Do a lot of green juicing.

You can ease into raw by first doing a Homo Optimus Diet. Which is a

cooked animal foods high fat / low carb.

http://homodiet.netfirms.com/

Then progressively go raw. Begin with the raw vegs, then with the raw

animal foods.

Organic food is always better. Wild is best.

My cancer cure manual is at

http://www.curemanual.com/diseases-and-tweaks/cancer

Good skill,

Edwin

Hello patient54321,

I'm not sure that I understand the question. I think you are talking

about one of the fermented grain products, similar to Avemar, that

boost immune function. Is that correct?

The blood type theory you are referring to is most likely the D'Adamo

(father and son) naturopathic theory. I've seen it mentioned here a

few times recently. It has only a very broad and very " iffy "

relationship to a dietary guidline. In other words it has a sort of

vague applicability with regard to antigen/antibody reactions, mostly

on the population level. In the real world it is way down there in

the way you should be making your food choices. If you have trouble

with grains you should avoid them. If they cause you no problem,

don't worry about the blood type relationship.

I don't understand the Wholegrain thing, is that a brand? Speaking

personally, I think the Budwig diet is great and I also have a personal

thing against grains with gluten which is wheat, rye, barley, oats, and

spelt, they give me IBS. So I go for buckwheat, millet, quinoa,

amaranth, and rice. I don't know about the fermentation, I think

sprouted grains are recommended.

It's simple, you just type what you are looking for into google. Here

is what I found-

http://www.drlam.com/blood_type_diet/print/blood_ab.htm

I have to warn you that the diet is based on evolution and a false

belief in the world system so I don't really give it much importance.

[Guest guest]

Welcome new member, Eliezer,

As you are a naturopath I know one thing for certain about you -- you

haven't relied on diet alone to achieve good health.

As you are a human being I know another thing about you -- you didn't

select your genetics.

Something that I constantly hear from cancer patients is that they

can't understand how they got cancer as they are 100% organic, vegan,

etc., etc., etc. All I can tell them is that they did not pick their

genetics and they might have held off the inevitable for many

years. I also remind them that no one knows all the causes of

cancer, or of healing.

Again welcome to the list. As you are a practicing naturopath for

many years, a good topic for you to introduce would be for you to

start a discussion on any supplement, strategy, treatment that you

think is underrated or unfairly ignored in the alternative

community. Where is your practice? Do you have a specialty?

I am from Sri Lanka and am a partly a vegetarian (I eat fish once in awhile when

no other foods are hardly available (ie.at hotel buffets and outings etc). I too

have never been hospitalized for my 42 years but been sick few times such as

viral flu etc.I strongly believe too that being a vegetarian is the best way to

have good health and it is not possible to explain the feelings you have once

you become a vegetarian ..mentally and physically. As you have been a Naturopath

hope we can exchange few ideas on how to live a healthy life natural way.

To Mike and Simon about the 'Blood Type Diet'.  I am a type O negative blood and

according to the diet I must be a meat eater and never a vegetarian.  Well I

have been a total vegetarian since 1969, now 60 years old.  I am the healthiest

You mention you are from Sri Lanka, I studied with Dr. Sir Anton Jayasuriya in

Colombo at the Open International University for Complementary Medicine.  He was

one of my mentors and a great man as he passed last 2005.

According clinicians I've spoken with, as well as Wolcott (2000

[www.metabolictyping.com], pp. 277-279), the foods PROHIBITED by D'Adamo for

one's blood type are more reliable than the recommended foods. I think these

prohibitions are valid mainly for people w/digestive problems, leaky gut, or

food allergies/intolerances. Accordingly, I might minimize or be cautious w/the

" AVOID " foods for one's blood type . These foods definitely cause problems for

many people (particularly those w/leaky gut syndrome), but not all people.

Otherwise, my impression is that blood type should be only a small consideration

in one's choice of foods and supplements (www.metabolictyping.com;

www.bloodph.com/research/mtatype.html). For instance, I would NOT eat red meat

just because I was a type O, particularly if I had cancer. For more info,

D'Adamo, J. (2004). Cancer Fight It with the Blood Type Diet: The

Individualized Plan for Preventing and Treating Cancer. Putnam. (mediocre book)

“Blood type O is way too broad a definition of one's metabolic type, abandoned

by D'Adamo himself soon as he learned a bit more....He now uses

secretor/non-secretor as a more precise predictor of who might get what, and

subtype, and what-not, to a total of 24 " blood types, " not just four,

which is MUCH closer to the truthâ€

Joan Vandergriff, ND (2005) reports that based on her experience,

Blood Type O's should beware of grains (especially nonsprouted WHEAT & GLUTEN

[rye & oats]), CORN, cauliflower, kidney beans, white/red potatoes, peanuts,

ORANGES, DAIRY, & PORK.

Type A's should beware of red meat, PORK, nonsprouted WHEAT, banana, mango, &

tomato.

Type B's should beware of PORK, CHICKEN, tomato, peanuts, shellfish, CORN,

olives, WHEAT. [capitalization added]
