> Anybody have any experience with blood type diets?

I remember when the book came out. Every review I read about it said it was

garbage research and just another diet scam. People may get results from

eating a good diet, but that doesn't mean it is because the diet has

anything to do with blood type. Now, perhaps more recent studies have

discovered differently, but this is what I remember reading at the time the

book came out.

Barb - I know - I thought it was garbage when it first came out. A

few health care providers strongly recommended it, but I didn't give

it much credibility- and I didn't bother to read the book. But now

after experimenting with myself for the past several years and then

reading the book I'm starting to think there might be something to

it. One thing I do believe and I believed it before I read the book

is that everyone does have a diet that is best for them and it might

not be the same as for other people you know. I also know that the

vegan - high good carb diet with lots of grains and fruits was not

the best for me - even though I followed it for years. I do much

better with lots of eggs and beef! I will say that vegan was much

easier and much cheaper.

I do not know my daughter's blood type. I have never taken her to give

blood due to borderline hgb and low B.P. and with no invasive surgery

has never required typing.

I have absolutely no knowledge of this Eat Right For Your Blood Type

Diet. My daughter can only eat soft foods in small amts. and she has

been a major salt craver from toddlerhood. Her body was telling her

what it needed. Now I know why and wish I had known then what I know

now. She is such a picky eater and underweight. Because she has so many

issues to deal with on an hourly basis I cannot put more restrictions on

her in regards to diet. A kid can only take so much and I know she

would rebel furiously. Years ago when she was first diagnosed with ADD

doctors advocated limiting sugar and that battle only created huge

problems and was way off base so I am a major skeptic of diets. This is

a disorder of connective tissue throughout the body and if a specific

diet was helpful HEDS people would have figured this out by now just as

they recognize that they do not respond to local anesthetics for dental

procedures. Do your kids have the subluxing and cracking joints? When

I see my daughter's thumb partially dislocate I know no diet is going to

rectify this, nor the excess elasticity in her blood vessels.

Do your kids really have HEDS? I am amazed that they could go hiking.

My 17 yr. old pays for an hours walk in the woods, although walking in

the oxygenated environment of cool shaded woods or the coolness of later

evening is much better tolerated than walking in the open. We even

drive to a cool shaded wooded area to picnic. Did you know that the

oxygen saturation under trees is measurably higher than elsewhere? I

suspect this is the reason as well as the lower temperature.

Bernie -

Can I ask what your daughter's blood type is.

My mom is having very unstable blood pressure and her doctor

recommended she switch to the eat right for your type diet after

another patient who was having similar problems got much better by

following it. I read my mom's book while visiting a couple weeks ago

and so much of what it says fits with what I have already found for

my girls and myself and even my husband.

Anybody have any experience with blood type diets?

So, now I'm interested in gathering additional anecdotal info just

for my own sense of whether that diet is valid.

I admit I've been pooh-poohing that particular diet for years and am

a bit suprised with what I've recently learned.

Thanks,

I haven't tried the diet, but my naturopath gave me a sheet with the

foods right and not right for my blood type. It was fascinating to see

that most of the foods I avoid because either I don't like them, I know

I am allergic to them, or feel rather ill after eating them were all

the ones I should avoid according to the blood type theory. It made me

feel much better about the food choices I make, even though I have

never strictly followed the diet (for example, I shouldn't eat

potatoes, yet I love to eat potato chips even though I feel ill after

eating them). And I have a friend who does eat according to her blood

type (same as mine), and she feels she has more energy and feels better

generally.
