Did a blood type test on DH tonight. We already knew I was O+, and his

test showed that he's O+ too. Which means the kids are also O's. Did I

luck out or what?

Did you test the Kids? They can still be something other than O...even if you

guys are both O...

months and she and my brother are also O's who are more than happy to

eat this way, at least while I'm there.

Just have to convince DH to give up the coffee & ice cream...

No they can't.

Now I'm confused again. I thought that two Os make Os.

There is a very remote probability that a woman can make herself pregnant too

if she has both genes so don't wear your dockers over your Levis. Isn't a

chimarra a very very rare occurrence?

It is possible but not probable. For your kids to be something other

than an O, either you or your husband would have to be a Chimarra,

meaning that you would have two sets of DNA as a result of the fusing

of two fertilized eggs shortly after conception. (The opposite of

twinning.) And then, your ovaries or testes would have to be from

one egg and your blood from the other. Possible, but HIGHLY

unlikely HIGHLY! I think it's a safe assumption that your children

are O's. I'd only test if one of them didn't seem to be doing well

on the diet or if they needed to be given blood during surgery or

something.

What I wouldn't give to have the same bloodtype as my husband and

children!! You lucky duck!

March 18, 2006

No, not necessairly. I am a Biology major and I can say that as far a blood

type goes, it it not the case. They probabally are type O but it is not

engraved in stone. I would feed them the way you eat anyway if they are under 10

yrs old because it won't make much difference from what i have learned at the

homeopathic store in my area. They are blood type fanatics.

And don't I know it. My biggest challenge is going to be fighting for

compliance from the other members of my family. Try explaining this to a

6 year old. LOL. Or a 30 year old for that matter. I'm hoping I'll have

such good results while I'm at my Mom's that my DH will be intrigued

enough to do it with me. I can cook HB and N, but I can't make him avoid

while out and about. Though, I won't buy any for home anymore. He'll

have to really want it to go out and get it for himself.

Next appointments for my kids - in May for check ups for both - I'll ask

them to do blood type testing. Just to be certain.

He that's a far-fetched idea! You'd have to have a specific

implementation of chimera too with sex cells one genotype and blood

cells all another.

It's so unlikely it's not worth considering.

> What I wouldn't give to have the same bloodtype as my husband and

> children!! You lucky duck!

Yes I agree. My son and his family are all the same, as he and his wife

are both O-neg nonsecretor like me! All the recessives in one pool:-)

Talk about a high protein meat eating bunch! And the wife was really

sickly when he met her as she'd decided to be vegetarian - luckily she

learned how to feel healthy by eating meat :-)

Now I have to figure how to feed my cat family each what they need. I

have a VERY unusual situation in that I have all three blood groups in

the household for cats - and there is no research D'Adamo style on cats

as far as I can tell - I just know from experience they do not all do

well on the same food!

Cat blood type note for anyone interested:

Most cats are type A and it's no hassle. A few are type B. A is dominant

over B, so two A cats can have a B kitten, not vice versa. Blood

transfusions can be deadly in cats if not typed.

There's also a type AB but it is not at all related to type A or B -

it's completely separate (badly named, should be called pq for peculiar

or something) but it is extremely rare in cats and with the blood type

kits you get no response to A or B antigens. Inheritance is not fully

understood yet for AB.

I breed Norwegian Forest Cats and blood type at birth to avoid

neonatal erythrolysis in the group (and to let future owners know). One

has to separate the kitten for 12 hrs if there is incompatibility, and

after that kittens can not absorb colostrum and can go back to mom. Cats

produce colostrum in all milk, not just the first milk by the way :-)

I wonder if D'Adamo wants new hobby - figuring out compatible food for

cats? My type B cats eat practically anything (tend to steal fruit cake,

curry, chilli peppers, seaweed, etc with no upsets) and especially love

spicy food, never get gastric problems. As I only have one AB cat it's

hard to make any assumptions - her mother was a homozygous B, her father

A carrying B.

As far as I know she can eat what she likes, but I don't experiment so

don't really know.

Namaste,

Irene

DH has high BP, high cholesterol and some C-Peptide thing, he's IR and

pre-diabetic. I'm really hoping that eating compliant-O for a few months

will allow him to go back to the doctor and get fabulous test results.

I'm also certain that he'll sleep better and have more energy. For a

young man in college, working full time with a wife and two kids - one

of them a baby and a new house - he's stretched thin.

Need to find out the secretor status of everyone in our family at some

point too. Is there a test I can request at the doctor's office during

the normal course of blood tests that will tell secretor status?

years and was absolutely amazed at how sick it was making me.

He happens to like green tea. Just not sure if he's willing to give up

the coffee. Him and Starbuck's have a relationship going. LOL. I

realized a couple of days ago that I can't do coffee anymore. I had a

bad reaction to some. Hadn't had any for nearly 2 weeks (our coffee pot

was packed and Starbuck's isn't so close in our new house) then I had a

large coffee drink. OMG. Still paying for it. I think not drinking the

coffee for the last 2 weeks is one of the reasons I was able to stop

taking my blood pressure meds. Now I feel like I need them again, and I

know it's just carryover from that damn coffee.

I know there are worse avoids, definitely. All of them I am sure will be

a battle to eliminate.

You can ask but don't be surprised if they won't test the kids. And if they

say they will, be careful, usually VERY expensive. Insurance usually won't

cover the expense because it is not necessary,

No that's not true - they can only be O.

Type A, or B can have O kids, but not vice versa:-)

You can order the blood test from dr.dadamo's site. I think it is around 50.00

and you can do it yourself at home.

You can get a home blood typing test from www.dadamo.com for $11.95. It is a

simple test. The secretor test has gone up to $47.95.

There hasn't been much research into it because it is believed to have

very few medical implications. I learned about it from a report on NPR

about a woman who was determined to be a chimarra from tests related to

trying to find a kidney donor and I have been unable to find much more

on it. It could be rare or as common as twinning. Most research on

chimarrism right now is centering on the fact that organ recipients are

having the donor's dna turn up in other places in their body.

Anyway, my point was that although it's possible that the children are

not O's, it's very very unlikely. I'd bet money on them being O's.

Lucky family!

Since when wasn't all of life subject to change? I'm not sure I know of many

hard and fast rules that in one way or another don't have some at least minor

exceptions.

Okay, I just got out my textbook from anatomy & Physiology. There is a chart in

it that gives all possible blood types that offspring (children) can have

depending on the parents blood type. It clearly states that if both parents are

O the children will only be O. So dont waste any money on testing if both

parents are O.
