Guest guest Posted March 3, 2000 Report Share Posted March 3, 2000 Dear Vicki, Kay & All, There is a WONDERFUL book, " Eat RIght for Your Blood Type " - can't remember author's name off-hand, but he is an MD. I would have to assume that this is how your doc knew your blood type. (LOL!) It's a pretty well-known fact that, for instance, people with A blood don't tolerate abxs well, either. Have a relative with A+ blood who never finishes her abxs - has always driven me nutz. Since I read this info, I've been asking those I come in contact with - friends, nurses, etc. & it seems that those with A blood just don't " get along well " with abxs - either they instinctively stop taking them or experience abdominal pain or digestive upsets from the abxs. If interested, saw this book at a Jewel Food Store (Chicago area) - in paperback it was about $10 or so. Didn't buy it - have read what I need out of a friend's... Hope this helps. Blessings & velcros, Chris PS - Perhaps we should do an informal survey on this... Daughter & I both have O blood & tolerate abxs extremely well. O's - generally are considered " hunter gatherers " - the oldest blood type on earth & need protein more than the other types. A folks, on the other hand, don't eat much in the way of meats - tend more towards veggie diets, need pineapple to aid digestion, which helps greatly in weight control. (Just what I remember off the top of my head.) It's pretty amazing to read the foods that are optimal (give us energy when we eat them), moderate (so-so in the energy dept) & foods to avoid (take more energy to digest than they provide back to body). For instance, I have never been able to swallow peanuts & have always HATED - I mean HATED peanut butter & it is listed as one of the " to avoid " foods. Lots of them fell into the categories that daughter, friend (A blood) & I have instinctively either been prone to eat or avoid... Interesting, hu? Seems lots of docs know about this book - perhaps this is one of those things that they take for granted that we know... In a message dated 00-03-04 00:04:11 EST, you write: << From: " Vicki Ferraro " <ferraroa@...> Kay, That is an interesting thought. My doctor shocked me after my lab tests came back positive for Strep, Epstein Barr, CMV, Lyme, and low white blood count, anemia, and already documented Hypothyroid, he asked me if my blood type was A+. I asked in amazement how he knew that, he said A+ people normally have weaker immune systems. Isn't that strange??? He had know way of knowing my blood type, unless he tested it and didn't tell me, but I don't think he did. Anyway, don't mean to scare you, but I really think none of this has to do with blood types, only chromosomes and genes, and I hear a lot about certain proteins people have that or don't have, that cause adverse reactions to immunizations, flu's, viruses, etc. There has been a lot about that topic lately on the TLC channel I watch that airs lots of Medical shows. Interesting stuff, but very scary. Vicki, MD >> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted March 4, 2000 Report Share Posted March 4, 2000 Hi All, I have short lists of foods in each group for Os & As - but not the B folks. Daughter had Great Smokies food allergy tests done & doc gave us these afterwards. If anyone wants, let me know, I'll send them through.

Guest guest Posted March 4, 2000 Report Share Posted March 4, 2000 Hi Connie, Yes, don't breathe, that'll help...LOL. How about an oxygen face mask when we are taking a stroll?? I remember Jim from Alabama, on our list once posting that he observed ticks honing in on him and the CO2 he was releasing. They would move the tick away from them, and no matter which way they went, the tick would find them and start toward them again. Scary stuff. I often think of that when I walk my dog. Our friend Marleen (lymefightr) also a list member, called me recently to report another tick bite, this is her third I think, I asked her if she was beginning to feel like a " Tick Magnet " She wonders too. I guess just like mosquitoes liking to bite one person and not another, it is similar with ticks. I think my blood type is A+, too lazy to get up to look in my wallet. I have been lucky only the one bite so far. Would love to hear others theories on this. Hugs, Marta >From: ConnieK <conniek@...> > >This is a really bizarre question. I know that ticks have sensors.

Guest guest Posted March 4, 2000 Report Share Posted March 4, 2000 Hi Christie, I have A+ blood type and never had problem digesting any of the abx, and I have been on them all...except Flagyl. Even doxycycline which is a drug I hear many complaints about. I guess I have an iron stomach.

Guest guest Posted March 4, 2000 Report Share Posted March 4, 2000 On the contrary Kay... " O " is the first blood type and has a slight edge over " A " blood types the least common types are " B " and " AB " ....The " O " type date back to early times, the meat eaters. (Can you tell I read the book " Eat right for Your Type) by Dr. D'Adamo...I actually feel better when I eat the foods that are compatible to my blood tupe. I went to hear Dr. D'Adamo speak at a Health Conference a few years ago....Along with his father, they have done years and years of study on this. They would put different types of food into the different blood types to see the reaction of the blood. In his book He has specific foods you should eat and ones you should stay away from according to your blood type. I found it very interesting. He has a web site you can check out....I actually lose weight and feel better when I follow his recommendations for the foods I should be eating. If you are an " O " stay away from gluten!! If you are an " A " you seem to do well with vegetables and certain carbos.....it is all more detailed then what I have mentioned here....but it certainly makes you wonder and worth checking into.

Guest guest Posted March 5, 2000 Report Share Posted March 5, 2000 I'd be interested in this. I think my son is AB and he has many allergies, but hasn't been tested for food yet. I'm type A, and have allergies too, but mostly to molds and spores. But still I'd be interested.
