Re: Metabolic testing questions

[Guest guest]

I took the test from that book also and came up as a mixed type. That was before

I found WAPF. Since I came up as a mixed type, I just kept eating what I was

eating at the time rather than following the book. Now I eat a low-carb WAPF

type diet. This is what works for me.

Weston A. Price did not believe in metabolic typing. see this article.

books accurate enough? I took the MT test from " The Metabolic Typing Diet " by

Wolcott. It diagnosed me as a Mixed Type which seems accurate because

the only food I react to is sugar. So would a fee test help or should I just

follow the recommendations in this book? Thanks for any replies.

This was a very interesting article that I had never stumbled across. So thanks

for bringing it to our attention Carolyn!

I do have one question: the acid/alkaline section. I frequently hear the quote

" Cancer cannot survive in an alkaline environment. " I think I even recently

heard it on a Price-Pottinger Foundation CD. And I've often wondered how to line

up that quote with the high acid forming foods in the WAPF way of eating. I

don't think cancer was as prevalent during Dr. Price's day, and especially in

the primitive people that he studied.

Comments?

Thanks,

Kathy

I have had excellent results with clients using this model and the

compliance has been very high.

The book is just reliable IF your scores are disparately skewed to a protein

or carb type. If the scores are too close to each other, investing in the

test is a better choice. And your type can change over time too.
