Guest guest Posted May 17, 2004 Report Share Posted May 17, 2004 Hi - I've unsubscribed cause the volume of this list is too heavy for me and I don't seem to be getting any responses to when I've written in (although I could be missing if anyone did - haven't been able to muddle through all of the emails) but I have one suggestion. You may not even be an O blood type - but I am and when I eat the foods that have lectins that cause agglutination in me like wheat, corn, etc. I have more pain because it causes inflammation. Enzymes could help and avoiding foods that don't agree with whatever your blood type is. I first figured out that I had Fibromyalgia. Then that its related to mercury poisoning and then the thyroid issues came into play. I do think and have read that its all related. Mercury poisoning can cause a lot of things. But according to the blood type diet - my blood type is prone to autoimmune thyroid disease AND inflammatory conditions from eating those foods. We are supposed to have a high protein low carb diet. I can eat rice - and use ezekial for my bread. And use some spelt products. Haven't looked into whether I'm a secretor or non-secretor, though, yet and that would make things even more specific. Anyway - just a suggestion. Jeanie > >Reply-To: NaturalThyroidHormones >To: NaturalThyroidHormones >Subject: Re: COULD IT BE CFS? >Date: Mon, 17 May 2004 14:46:56 -0000 > >Hi SheilaF.

Guest guest Posted May 17, 2004 Report Share Posted May 17, 2004 ezekial is a bread that is bad for thyroid I was old. Mullet, or some grain blocks all thyroid meds. RE: Re: COULD IT BE CFS?

Guest guest Posted May 17, 2004 Report Share Posted May 17, 2004 Yes, and I see more than one of us here who is an A+ who has autoimmune thyroiditis,a.k.a., Hashimoto's. I do believe that blood type has to do with our choices for eating, etc....but I don't know how that would relate to thyroid. RE: Re: COULD IT BE CFS?

Guest guest Posted May 17, 2004 Report Share Posted May 17, 2004 I'm just wondering something here---The two children I had that have thyroid disease (two girls) also both have type A blood, as well as me. The other two children I had by another marriage ( girl and boy) do not have thyroid disease, at this time and as far as I know. I wonder if any statistics have been done on this.
