QUESTION: My question concerns the wonderful encyclopedia. I looked up hayfever for my husband and there are 2 protocols:allergy and immune boosting I believe. I cannot find anywhere whether he should complete one protocol after the other or if he can take the supplements for both protocols at the same time. Many thanks. I would also like to day that I love the Cook Right 4 Your Type book- the recipes are fabulous and both my husband and I, different blood groups (I'm O, he's A) can find wonderful recipes to suit us both. Many thanks for this change in our diet!

ANSWER: The Encyclopedia was designed to offer guidance to a variety of possible health conditions, by 'mixing and matching' combinations of protocols to specific health problems. In general the first protocol listed under your type is premiere and the first substance listed under that protocol is the preferred starting point. Thus, it may be possible that the first compound listed in the Allergy Protocol would do the job and anything else would be overkill. However, if the problem is deep-seated or intractable, it may be necessary to use several protocols and quite a few substances.
