Guest guest Posted November 6, 2004 Report Share Posted November 6, 2004 Hi - here is the bottom line. You can " " " get away with being a vegetarian " " " for a time - it may be a long time, it maybe shorter. No one can tell you how long. Being an O, you can ##abuse## your body and still feel relatively healthy. But, eventually your immune system gets depleted so to speak. In any case, (since we don't know anything about you) consume lots of protein of some sort, green leafy veggies and HB fruits. Here is your secretor answer A person can be either a secretor or a non-secretor. This is completely independent of whether your blood type is A, B, AB or O. In a simplified sense, a secretor is defined as a person who secretes their blood type antigens into body fluids and secretions like the saliva in your mouth, the mucus in your digestive tract and respiratory cavities, etc. A non-secretor on the other hand puts little to none of their blood type into these same fluids. Many metabolic traits, such as carbohydrate intolerance, and immune susceptibilities are linked genetically to secretor subtype.

Are there any veggie 'o's on here ? thanks ) http://www.freewebs.com/inspire/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 7, 2004 Report Share Posted November 7, 2004 Hi , thankyou for you direct and frank answer - if it will help me I will do it, can't really see myself eating hearts or livers but can try other things. Your site looks very interesting, don't have much time now but will take a good look soon. You mention you don't know anything about me - what kind of things would you need to know to give you a good picture ? I am white, 5'9 " , overweight, have insulin resistance in the family but don't think I have it yet, don't tend to get ill hardly ever but do suffer a bit with congestion and allergies/sensitivities with dust/pollen/smoke. I am always near the borderline of being run-down and get the warning signs of ear-ache and lumps in the throat. I am going to see the doc in a couple of weeks because this last month I have acid coming up into my throat almost all the time [ something not uncommon for 'O's I have found out.]. hth ) http://www.freewebs.com/inspire/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Virtually every problem you mention about your health is correctable with this diet. No reflux, no allergies, no severe sensitivities to anything, ever. How would you like to be full of energy? ALL THE TIME!!! Eat meat and fat and cut out the carbs and processed foods that are poisoning you. Start walking. Unfortunately, your allergies and weight (insulin resistance) will only increase if you continue the way you are. This is a great group of very knowledgeable people who can really help you regain your health. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 7, 2004 Report Share Posted November 7, 2004 My diet - vegetarian, mostly protein sources are quinoa, seeds, nuts, sometimes tofu, tempeh, very occasionally eggs. Carb sources are chick peas, beans, millet, brown rice, couscous, rice pasta occasionally. Usually have quinoa porridge for breakfast, either protein or carb + salad for lunch, whichever I didn't have at lunch with veggies for dinner. Trying to stay away from potatoes and carrots unless raw carrots. Steam my veg and make sure it is 'al dente'. Have lots of beansprouts and alfalfa sprouts. Only hot drink is dandelion coffee - black, other than that just filtered water. I'm sure I eat more than that but my mind is blank at the moment. Have a weakness for chocolate but always try and make sure it has nuts in so it isn't just all chocolate [ stupid I know but I just feel it's at least a little good then}. I'm actually quite self-restricting at the moment - almost vegan. I know much of what I've put down will now be a no-no. thanks ) http://www.freewebs.com/inspire/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted November 8, 2004 Report Share Posted November 8, 2004 What do you hate more? Poor health and feelilng bad and going to the doctor and aging quickly and not feeling WELL. Or do you hate eating meat more. Some combination of information and circumstances encouraged you into being a vegetarian. Now there is a new set of circumstances and information and you need to decide what you will do with it. It's like re-training, which many humans resist, even when it is to there own detriment.

I'm not so sure: I get *very* ill if I do not eat meat. Some type O people may not need the high level of protein I need - but I struggle to get my blood protein up to normal levels and meat is definitely part of what I need. To feed me on something else is like expeting a car to run on a glass of wine instead of gas. May taste good but it goes nowhere. And I need to go places :-)) .....Irene -- Irene de Villiers, B.Sc; AASCA; MCSSA; D.I.Hom. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The older you get the sicker you'll get and it's hard enough to stay well as you get older. If you don't bolster your body's immune system with the proper foods, you'll go down that road where medications and their side effects replace it. Look around and see your friends and family who destroy their immune systems by popping pills all of the time for reflux, allergies, skin rashes, high cholesterol, pain, depression, etc. while their health continues to deteriorate from poor diet. So sad and it's mostly preventable with proper diet. Doctors treat you all the way to the grave. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 9, 2004 Report Share Posted November 9, 2004 Someone answered me the other day saying to eat meat and fat - I'm sorry, I don't know who it was as I have mislaid the post. _ does this have to be a high fat diet ? I know good fats are needed in the body but surely this would be omega 3 & 6 oils and not saturated meat fat ? Just wondering, I know I don't know that much yet but it never sounded like a really high fat diet from what I have read ? ) http://www.freewebs.com/inspire/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted November 10, 2004 Report Share Posted November 10, 2004 , Coconut oil is an avoid unless you are a non-secretor. Grape Seed oil or Ghee are supposed to be more tolerent to heat from what I've read on this list.

Guest guest Posted November 10, 2004 Report Share Posted November 10, 2004 In the database it only says " avoid " for coconut oil, but doesn't say why. If it's an avoid because of the cholestrol, that's one thing, but if it's an avoid for other reasons, I wish he had said so. ;-) Ellen > , > Coconut oil is an avoid unless you are a non-secretor.

Read http://www.dadamo.com/ask/ask2.pl?20041107.txt Don, Thanks or posting the direct link to the discussion on coconut oil, though I confess I missed why it is okay for O non secretors :-)) What I'd really like to understand is why coconut itself is not okay for O non secretors. I have the encyclopedia but there is no detail like in the coconut oil explanation. It just says: " Enhances effect of other food toxins. " (So then it's okay if you eat it in a O-compliant meal that has no toxins?) and " Provokes abnormal blood reaction " (so how bad is that? What kind of abnormal blood reaction?) It's not like I use coconut as a staple diet but coconut is a favourite item in my diet. It is an " essential " flavour sprinkled on any decent curry dish and I eat those daily. I really hope to find a more detailed understanding to be able to judge whether the avoid warnings are enough to worry about in my case. Anyone know more?
