Guest guest Posted June 1, 2005 Report Share Posted June 1, 2005 Have you all heard of the book Eat right for your type? It is a diet for your blood type and which foods to avoid that can make you even sicker because of your blood type? It is a great book.

Guest guest Posted June 1, 2005 Report Share Posted June 1, 2005 Hi Renea, I have that book, and his cookbook too. It makes alot of sense, although there are some health professionals who pooh-pooh it. I am a firm believer in trying new ideas in diets...it doesn't hurt to experiment and see if there are things we are reacting to. Many of us probably have food allergies or reactions that we aren't even aware of. It may be very subtle, but be the one thing that keeps us feeling icky. Often times we crave the very things that are making us react. It's so strange. I haven't found that I needed to follow his suggestions for my blood type all that closely. But for some people, it may make all the difference in the world. Thanks for the reminder!

Guest guest Posted June 2, 2005 Report Share Posted June 2, 2005 Renea I have that book. It sounds good but I didn't really think it made alot of difference for me. I had been eating that way anyway, instintively. I know that Dr. Mercola really touted it for awhile. But then he has his own diet he touts and then he really touted The Maker's Diet by JOrdin Rubin. Of all three, I think Jordin Rubin's was the closest to being the most well thought out. In fact, I think he goes over all the other diets in his book and shows the pros and cons of each one. These three diets overlap a bit. I think we are all so individual that there is alot of trial and error involved in finding what works best for you. There are some very different opinions out there about what is healthy for eating. I guess I try to take the middle of the road. I eat organically when I can, I try to make sure I eat raw foods daily, I try to eat lactofermented foods and don't eat pork, fried foods, sweets, etc. Some people do fabulously on a completely raw diet, while others find they require animal protein. One thing is for sure---baked sweets, fried foods, and convenience foods only harm our health---as well as sweeteners such as aspartame, diet sodas, splenda, etc. If you don't have Jordin Rubin's book, I would suggest you buy it. He also wrote " patient heal thyself " and another one about curing your digestive tract. I have all three. He is the founder of Garden of Life products such as Primal Defense. Many of us here have used his products and find them to be of high quality.

Guest guest Posted June 2, 2005 Report Share Posted June 2, 2005 Beth, I have patient heal thyself. Great inspirational. I have been on Primal defense for a couple of months-great product. I will look into the other book. It is so hard to stay away from sugar! That is my hardest thing. But, I will keep trying.Thanks, Renea --- mikat828 <mikat828@...> wrote: > > > Renea > I have that book. It sounds good but I didn't really think it made > alot of difference for me.

Guest guest Posted June 3, 2005 Report Share Posted June 3, 2005 Fungus and yeast feed on sugar . . . The sugar cravings are coming from the fungus/yeast. Once you get things under control, those cravings will cease. If you want to see it happen, put a teaspoon of yeast each in two glasses . . . add 1/2 cup of water to each glass, then put a teaspoon of sugar in one of the glasses and see what happens!
