Guest guest Report post Posted June 5, 2009 Thanks for posting this, Deb. I was thinking this was a sort of bogus diet, as although our bodies are all different, we are all physiologically the same, and a vegan diet is good for ALL of us and is composed of what we as humans are DESIGNED and meant to eat, period. --- On Fri, 6/5/09, Deborah Pageau <dpageau wrote: Deborah Pageau <dpageau Re: Blood type diet Friday, June 5, 2009, 11:31 AM While it seems to work for some people, it may be for reasons other than blood type per se.

Guest guest Report post Posted June 5, 2009 My biggest problem with this is that Mercola is sooooooo for it...and usually he is so far off...that it is really scarey and dangerous. So if he pushes it....I go the other way....I am type ) also and meat is a friend in small quantities....as was limited amounts of dairy....til I got IV antibiotics for a staph infection. Then many things including dairy, gluten and several meats became a problem... My thinking is that antibiotics, vaccinations and toxic food are more of a problem than food types....

Guest guest Report post Posted June 5, 2009 Well that would be one of the points behind the blood type regime, in that it examines the historicity of the different blood type derivations. Dr. D'adamo has done significant research into where, how each developed and the manifestations of palenontology and it's effect on previous hunter/gather regimes. He is not a christian and does not come at it from a biblical stand point, if that matters to people. My sister-in-law is a Type B, and has a mixed batch of types in her family and had everyone on their own regime for some time - it was craziness making for her to do that, but it did seem to help her children and her with recovery from some of the allergy and intolerance symptoms they were suffering. My own family is Type A, yes all 6 of us, although some are negative Rh and others are positive. Over the course of years, we have all been diagnosed with CD, food allergies and other immune problems that fall in line with the avoidances suggested by a dietary regime for Type A. I would suggest that all things need to be considered and gleaned from, rather than tossing the baby out with the bathwater because of the reputation of someone who had nothing to do with the science on the topic. Even Dr. Mercola can be right some of the time :-D. If one has qualms, check in to it. Many people find that what the ERfYT diet suggests is exactly what they can't tolerate eating anyway.

Guest guest Report post Posted June 5, 2009 Those are great articles, Deborah. I especially like the section where Dr. Klaper breaks down the possible causes for some people feeling better after resuming flesh eating. The info he gives on the detrimental consequences to the planet in order to support meat eating is great as well. -Valerie --- On Fri, 6/5/09, Deborah Pageau <dpageau wrote: Deborah Pageau <dpageau Re: Blood type diet Friday, June 5, 2009, 9:31 AM While it seems to work for some people, it may be for reasons other than blood type per se.

Guest guest Report post Posted June 5, 2009 A re-post from my opinion on another list on this topic: I have been studying lectins lately, and because they are part of the basis for D'Adamo's theories, I have read a number of passages from his webpage and supporting materials. The lectin studies that I have read do not support his theories, but I am studying lectins as a basis for common food allergies/intolerances such as gluten, soy, corn, and milk and causative factor in diabetes, arthritis, etc. Anyway, what hit me strongest reading his website was that he does not say " this blood type should/should not eat x, y, z " . What he says is that " this blood type should be wary that x, y, z could cause them problems, and should experiment to see if eliminating those foods helps, then add them back one at a time " . Gee, I wonder where we've heard that before? I think I'll start up a " hair colour diet " . If you have brown hair, you should watch out for gluten, corn, and nuts. If you have blonde hair, you should watch out for fish, soy, and dairy. If you have black hair, you should watch out for peanuts, eggs, and shellfish. If you have red hair, you should watch out for all of those. Did I get any " hits " ?

Guest guest Report post Posted June 5, 2009 Pam, what if you haven't seen your natural hair colour for 30 plus years - lol? Should we change we our hair turns grey?

Guest guest Report post Posted June 6, 2009 In my opinion, the claims D'Adamo makes about his diet are far too easily taken apart for his theory to be credible. I think the real reason it helps some people is simply that it gets them off white-sugar/white flour diets and onto whole food diets, thinking about eating for nutrition rather than entertainment. I remember when I was at that stage over 20 years ago: it was a whole new me! Actually eating real food consciously with the intent to nurture oneself is a powerful program, even if has some meat, wheat, dairy, etc. That's where I started my journey into nutrition. I sensed greater potential for my health and clarity of mind though, so I kept on searching. And here we are. Low-fat, whole food, vegan, gluten-free diet rocks! Clearly, blood type diet can potentially make converts of people who LIKE the program he recommends for their blood type. To quote Dr. John McDougall " People like to hear good news about their bad habits " . So, a type O who likes to eat meat will be happy to say " It's out of my hands! I HAVE to eat it because of my blood type! " Most credible scientists are too busy earning a living to do more than post an article or two rebutting the theory, and so it carries on. By the time they'd commented on the diet, it was too late. It had won over enough people (for whatever reasons) that he's laughing all the way to the bank. Anyway, Pam (with my tongue delicately positioned in my cheek) I was wondering the same thing as BL. Do I eat the Hair Colour Diet suitable for my hair colour as it was when I was born? ... when I was a teenager??... or now??? :-) Pam, maybe you should throw around some big, scientific-sounding terms to give the Amazing New Hair Colour Diet some " punch " . Accuracy of the terms is apparently optional. It might be fun to develop your " diet " as a prank. It would make a great skit at a vegetarian group Party Night. :-) Deborah Pam, what if you haven't seen your natural hair colour for 30 plus years - lol? Should we change we our hair turns grey?

I'm the red head who has to avoid them all. too funny that you wrote this. I was thinking about writing an " eye color " diet but then chickened out. Like Brenda, my entire family is type A (but all positive) and we all have CD. I also have RA and a few other autoimmune diseases. There is more than enough literature to make me believe that animal products are really bad for people with autoimmune diseases. I've taught my kids that they have poor genes (autoimmune disease from mom's and dad's sides of hte family) and that prevention is better than cure, so they are on a vegan diet. I've also done, I think, a good job on showing them how cruel animal farming is. shez -- Giving you the latest news and information about homeschooling http://www.examiner.com/x-10127-Norfolk-Homeschooling-Examiner Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest guest Report post Posted June 6, 2009 People whose hair has changed colour have to watch out for the foods in their original hair colour diet, as well as anything that is white or comes from an animal. LOL. By the way, I am type O but I cannot eat meat, if anyone is keeping track. It makes me throw up. For three days. Under the Blood type diet, I should be eating meat, and should not be eating legumes. Well, I eat lots of legumes and no meat. My dad and I are both gluten free - neither diagnosed celiac, but highly suspicious - he is type A and I am type O.

Guest guest Report post Posted June 6, 2009 Yup!!! Ya snagged me!!! I am black haired and ya got me!!! But unfortunately....ya would have on the other hair colors too!!! Dr Mercola being right.....hmmm that seems to be an oxymoron...but life is full of those....so I guess it is a point to take! But personally with the allergies my family has....no specific diet works, except for the if it tastes good....you are in trouble one. As to weird dieting....I once heard that you should eat as your ethnic ancestors. Well mine are Native Americans and I am allergic to most of the foods that they would have eaten. Buffalo makes me incredibly. It keeps going back to me, anyway, that the reason for this is not our systems, but the damage that has been done to it thru external sources....vaccines, contaminated food and water, antibiotics...those have more sway on our bodies than our type. I guess it comes down to minimizing what is done and recovering as best we can from the damages incurred. Sometimes life tosses us a curve and we need antibiotics, or we can't afford organic foods,or whatever...but we can learn to help ourselves recover...and that's the biggie....at least to my family... Oh and my family is all A's except for me....I am 0. Maybe someone could do a personality type on blood...that's another biggie....lol Ronni > > A re-post from my opinion on another list on this topic: > > I have been studying lectins lately, and because they are part of the > basis for D'Adamo's theories, I have read a number of passages from > his webpage and supporting materials.

Guest guest Report post Posted June 6, 2009 Already very popular in Japan: Here are the general ideas of each blood type. The Rh factor plays no role in the blood type/personality idea: *Type O:* Type O's are outgoing, and very social. They are initiators, although they don't always finish what they start. Creative and popular, they love to be the center of attention and appear very self confident. *Type A:* While outwardly calm, they have such high standards (perfectionists) that they tend to be balls of nerves on the inside. Type A's are the most artistic of the blood groups. They can be shy, are conscientious, trustworthy, and sensitive. *Type B:* Goal oriented and strong minded, type B's will start a task and continue it until completed, and completed well. Type B's are the individualists of the blood group categories and find their own way in life. *Type AB:* Type AB's are the split personalities of the blood groups. They can be both outgoing and shy, confident and timid. While responsible, too much responsibility will cause a problem. They are trustworthy and like to help others. Compatability by Blood Groups: A is most compatible with A and AB B is most compatible with B and AB AB is most compatible with AB, B, A and O O is most compatible with O, and AB http://www.bellaonline.com/articles/art22988.asp Though I am type O, I definitely don't have an O personality!

Guest guest Report post Posted June 7, 2009 Type A fits me pretty well. My soulmate is type O though! Oddly though, with all types of horoscopes, natal charts ect, we should be totally incompatible!
