blood type

[Guest guest]

Okay, I have to ask.

First, I've had more surgeries than I care to

remember. But, I DO NOT know my blood type.

When I went to the lab on Monday for tests for

mtx I asked them and they said they didn't know,

I should volunteer to donate blood and they will

tell me.

Now, most of us taking mtx already know that they

will NOT take our blood.

Second, since there is hemochromatosis in my

biological family.....they don't want it there

either which is really sad.

Now I am going for this breast lumpectomy and

biopsy on April 26.....will they have it on my

records at the surgicenter? Will they tell me if

I ask?

,

I can't say for sure, but I would assume that any lab that is already

running blood tests should be able to do a blood type test. They should

already know if they've already done surgeries on you before (they'd better

know before they go close to you with a knife!).

Anyway, I wish you the best of luck with the lumpectomy and biopsy. We'll

be thinking about you!

Hi gang, Gotta post to this. Most medical labs would be able to do the

tests (note plural, it;'s actually 2 tests) BUT (big But) they must be

ordered by a doctor, MD or DO, and the results must be released to you by a

doctor. So ask your doctor! Most don't consider it a " need to know " for

the patient so they don't tell unless you ask. As far as donating blood

and finding out that way, the results still have to be released by a

doctor, usually in that case, it's the medical director of the donor

facility. Hope this helps any of you who are wanting to know. Nadine

Our nutritionist told us that people with type O blood, and especially

type O negative, have an unsually high rate of food allergies and

sensitivites. So, I just wondered how many other kids on the list

have O.

Hi,

Your nutritionist might be referring to a book that's out regarding

diet and blood type that postulates that type O, the hunter gatherer

original blood type of homo sapiens, has difficulty digesting grains

and dairy because scavenged foodstuffs and meat were their primary

diet.(!) I'm an O with food allergies and sensitivities, in

particular gluten and casein. (I also didn't speak until I was two.)

My elder daughter (approaching AS) is a B like her father, who thinks

GFCF is hogwash. She is sensitive to a few things according to blood

tests. Her younger sister's bood tests were off the charts with

sensitivities, and some true allergies as well (AS dx in June). I

don't know her blood type, but I'm laying odds it's O. My father was

also O, and had an allergy to milk (protein) from infancy. He

developed adult-onset asthma in his late 40's (which was probably

allergy related) and had several ambulance rides, twice on

Thanksgiving.

After saying this, I must also say that autistic spectrum seems to cut

across all blood types. Leaky gut can be aquired with any type, but

I suspect there is a predisposition in type O.

Hello

How interesting about the blood type - I have been wondering about this too. My

severely autistic son is O pos and I am O neg.

Mic,

You can now buy the blood type diet books by blood types. The author made

little booklets for the specific blood type. I am and one son are O's and my

husband and other son are A's. I bought both booklets, and was amazed by how

accurate they are. Many of the foods that make me feel sick were on my do

not eat list.

Each booklet is available at B & N or Amazon for about $5.00 each.

Hi Patty,

I think you have something there. I am B- and when I follow the plan faithly I

really do feel better. Keep it up and I hope you continue to have good results.

Thanks for sharing your experience, it has me motivated again.

that I'm getting alot of fascial hair and i can't stand it does any one have

this problem. is this one the problem you get when taking all of these medicine

.. i take mtx. please help.

[Ed. Note: I believe Stack, the group founder, mentioned some

particular drug she used to take that caused facial hair growth, but for the

life of me I can't remember what it was (It wasn't MTX). Ron]

Prednisone will do that.

If you read up on the paleolithic diet (I think this is where I found this

info), there is an interesting theory on blood type. O is the most ancient

blood type. Part of the theory goes that because those of us with O blood type

have not evolved to the same extent as others with newer blood types, and

therefore our bodies have not adjusted to a " modern " diet of grains and dairy.

We

do better with a paleolithic diet that is based more on meats and vegetables,

which are closer to the hunter/gatherer diet that we all had prior to learning

how to farm. How does this give us autoimmune disease? The theory is that

the grains/dairy are somewhat toxic to our system and provoke the autoimmune

response.

If you track blood type by parts of the world, the Os tend to hail from

places that learned how to farm last which fits into the evolutionary piece of

the

theory.

Kind of sounds " quacky " when you first hear it, but I swear I've been much

better since eliminating gluten and most dairy from my diet...Wish I could tell

you exactly where I found this info, but I can't remember... E, do you

have any references?

[Guest guest]

Thanks Ron. Can I ask you what medicine do you take? My Dr. told me today that

he wants me to take Enbrel now. Does it work for you?

Hi,

I am also B. Can you tell me where I can get the informatin to follow for

this?

I got the information from Eathing 4 Your Blood Type by Dr. J. D'Adamo.

It is very interesting and does seem to help.

[Guest guest]

How is it possible to know this???

... O is the most ancient

blood type.

[Guest guest]

Much of that information is included in the book, Eat Right 4 Your Type, by

Dr. J. D'Adamo. It sounded a little " way out there " to me to until I

kept reading. Looking back on my own ancestry and the blood types in my family,

it makes sense. The list of foods that are best for each blood type is quite

extensive-what you can and cannot eat. When I was following it and not eating

those things I shouldn't I felt so much better and much less aches and pain.

There could be some problems if others in your household are another blood

type. My husband went so far as to combine our list to what both of us could

and could have and then individualized the things that were different. There is

also a second book entitled, Cook Right 4 Your Type, by the same author.

The earthsave piece is a very peculiar critique of D'Adamo's first book in

the sense that it asks for a colossal amount of " show me " evidence along the

lines of

" To convince me, he would need to show me photographs of intestinal tissue

from Type O people who have recently eaten wheat and who clearly have

evidence of lectin agglutination clogging up the function of their

intestinal cells. "

It's kind of funny in a way. While the author slates D'Adamo for spinning

" an evolutionary fairy tale " he's walked right past the fact that the major

thrust of D'Adamo's work -- that there is an association between specific

blood types and specific diseases, and that lectins ( a type of proteins in

foods) cause blood cells to clump together as well as a variety of other

physiological effects -- is well-established by peer-reviewed orthodox

medical and scientific literature. You'll find thousands of papers in the

medical journals on both topics - but rarely will you see the dots

connected.

It's also worth bearing in mind that the book critiqued here was published

12 years ago now, and since then D'Adamo has accumulated a stack more

evidence about the different biochemical/physiological reactions of

different blood types, including their different responses to different

foods.

I don't go along with everything D'Adamo says, but the research is

fascinating and it would be s shame to dismiss his work on the basis of this

review. www.dadamo.com has more info.
