Guest guest Posted March 11, 2011 Report Share Posted March 11, 2011 Hi Lois, I had issues with the metabolic diet questionairre. It was long and heavily unbalanced. For instance, I'm a vegetarian, but there is no separate test for vegetarians. So, because of the way the questions are laid out, I could not answer how I feel after eating meatwhich is an automatic " pro meat " result. Which swayed the results TOWARDS being a protein type. In other words, as far as I'm concerned, the whole test is no longer valid. So, I would advise approaching with caution and with eyes wide open to the flaws in any type of diet. ar > > > What to eat?

Guest guest Posted March 11, 2011 Report Share Posted March 11, 2011 Greetings, I always love the advice to look at your grandparents, makes me feel so like an outsider, again. Many of us are adopted, while we may find out a bit about who our parents were, we never have the kind of knowledge that families have. We did buy the tests to find out what blood type we are, they arrived and we did that this week. I have the book about eating for your blood type on order, it should be here any day. Juicing is what was really bothering me. Juice is one thing I have never tolerated, my diabetes is totally controlled by diet and juicing is not part of my life. I have no desire to cure the cancer and die from complications due to diabetes. For those of us with multiple medical problems, natural treatment is a maze. However, main stream medical will kill me in a year, so you do what you can. I am in Rural Texas, too far from any good practitioners, I am not saying that all doctors are bad, just my area.

Guest guest Posted March 11, 2011 Report Share Posted March 11, 2011 Are you eating Atlantic or Pacific salmon? If it's Atlantic, I wouldn't be surprised if that's contributing majorly to the mercury... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted March 12, 2011 Report Share Posted March 12, 2011 I, too have struggled with this entire nutritional/metabolic typing area and cancer. I am a fast oxidizer or protein type. I have been to see Dr Mercola and tested higher than him for protein needs. I do love my meat and dark poultry. I feel better when I am eating meat. All of the alternative cancer protocols seem to gear towards vegetarians. I keep trying to raise my PH and it is hard on veggies, for me. This article was helpful. I understand there are people who are vegetarians because of their beliefs. It may be your beliefs and your blood type or nutritional type are not in agreement. Just saying, it's worth checking out. I have done nutritional typing on 3 different occasions. Jillian s also has one available. They always agree and I am an O+ bloodtype which also promotes more protein. Here is the link to Dr Mercola's test, which is now free. I believe I paid about $175 for it the first time I took it. http://products.mercola.com/nutritional-typing/ Kathy > > > What to eat?

I had eaten a macrobiotic diet for 20 years and was craving meat and fats. When I found out that my type needs fats and meat, I did not have any cravings and can eat a diet of foods that my body needs. I have 8oz of carrot juice a day to keep me balanced as I need to eat 50% raw and 50% cooked food. > > Check it out as I was convinced that meat was the enemy until I started this diet............. > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kathy: In response to your email, part of which is above, I agree with you so much. I think my lack of amino acids and essential fatty acids because of my belief in no meat, made by body degenerate. Once I was told that it was ok to eat meat, I went directly to the closest restaurant that served organic grass fed beef and have never looked back. I feel so much better with more protein and was craving it so much. I dream about meat!!! I am a mixed so need to eat from both the protein and vegetarian diets. Thanks for the test website, I will be sure to direct others to the site. Thanks again, Lois > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
