Guest guest Posted October 23, 2007 Report Share Posted October 23, 2007 Hi, I am new to this forum but not to alternative therapies. I searched the forum for any reference to the blood type diet and could not find it mentioned. I am not affiliated with Dr. D'Adamo, but staying on his blood type diet has been a quantum leap in my search for better health, and I thought others might benefit from it. I went on the diet about seven or eight years ago, and could not believe the very nearly immediate improvement in my health. There is no need to go into my history; I won't bore you with that, but the difference was as night and day. Within a week I knew I had found an awesome answer to improved health, better immune system, better energy, and, for me, effortless weight loss. The best part about it is that, after a small initial expenditure, it is free, because one is buying food anyway; one just buys different, not more expensive food. I do, for the most part, follow the diet strictly, at least regarding the foods to avoid. I think people who are having severe health issues who want partially to follow the program are just kidding themselves. The website to visit to find out about this diet is http://www.dadamo.com www.dadamo.com The best book that I know of that he has published is " Live Right for Your Type. " It costs around $25 new in hardback, but you might find it for less as a used book. I regard this as his best book because it is divided into " secretor " and " non- secretor " food lists; the secretor status changes the food list somewhat. All of the food lists for all blood types are in this book. You need the book, even though the food lists are on the web site. The book is just way more convenient, plus it contains the history and explanation of the blood type program. You need to know your blood type (don't just guess!) and your secretor status in order to do the diet correctly. Secretor status is determined by whether you secrete your immune factors into body fluids, and is most inexpensively determined by a test sold by North American Pharmacal, the Secretor Test. You can type " secretor test " into the search box at dadamo.com to find the test. It costs around $40.00. You send a saliva sample in to determine your secretor status, and everything you need is in the test kit, so there is no other expense involved with the test. Once you have the book and the test paid for, you simply change to the foods on your list, and avoid the foods on the avoid list. There is no additional expense necessary. The web site sells blood type-specific bars, shakes, supplements, etc., but I never purchase these. I just read ingredients of prepared foods and shop carefully when I go to the supermarket. I can see that some on this list are suffering, and I believe this program can alleviate a lot of that suffering. It certainly has done that for me. As a health-food store manager, I have recommended this to hundreds of people who have received help from it as I have. This was life changing in a major way for me, and I will never be able to express my gratitude enough for the knowledge that Dr. D'Adamo gave me. I hope this message helps someone else.
