This blood type diet thing is very interesting. I saw a lot of m own symptoms in the type A description. I have a. Son with Autism and one of the first things we had to do was remo e cows milk. Why? Not so much that he was lactose intolerant but casein intolerant, the protein in milk which is difficult to break down. Contrary to popular belief processed milk is not good for us, but raw unprocessed Milk is, particularly from grass fed animals. That goes for meat as well. The reason half the population is gluten intolerant as well is that our bodies weren't made to digest most of the types of foods we are eating today and as we get older and expose our bodies to more of gluten, dairy etc it begins to become intolerant to these things and we get all those symptoms of feeling unwell etc. Another controversial thing is that I believe that the heavy vaccine schedule is damaging young children's immune systems and since about 80% of the immune system lines the gut, it is no surprise that there are all these colicky babies, food intolerances, allergies, asthma, excema, learning and speech delays etc. Our brains are influenced by what goes into our mouths and guts. It will be great when the whole medical world wakes up to this very sad and frightening truth.

Found out about this book several years ago and I tell everyone with medical problems about it. It changed our lives.
It's too bad they don't teach this book in Med schools. When was the last time you went to a doctor with a complaint and he asked you about your diet? NEVER, and they should because many of the foods we eat are wrong for our blood types and the body is trying to tell you that with all your symptoms.
All they offer you is pills, surgery and MRI's etc when a simple change of diet is all that is required.
Of course Big Pharma can't make any money that way, so diet change is not even considered.
I became a total believer when after drinking two bottles of red wine one night I had no ill after effects, while after drinking beer I always paid the price especially as I got older.
For type A's Beer (wheat products and it's derivatives)is poison, while red wine is like a medicine for me, as DR, D'Adamo said,- highly beneficial.

Another convincer for me was that I notice that if I drink a glass of tomato juice (an avoid for type 'A') I'll get gout in my big toe within 5 minutes.

Keep telling your friends about this wonderful information. It makes total sense and it totally works.

Sincerely, Robby Smink

I have just read your book and it makes so much sense.I am blood group A I had severe food poisoning in February 2011 after I eat a bean cake that I suspect was made out of beans that where not washed properly and this side of the world i live in they spray insecticide. I was in hospital for three days. They told me I also have ulcer. After being discharched i read on the net what to eat when you have ulcer and followed the diet and was feeling better but then after i started eating everything in May I had a bout and i visited the doctor who put me on Nexium and Motillium for two weeks. after the medicationthe symptoms started again and I was given more and sent for an endoscopy which diagnosed me with gastrites with erosions and bile reflux as well as H Pylori bacteria. I was put on three courses of antibiotics plus Nexium 80mg daily and Motillium,tripotassium cidrato bismuthate for two weeks. After this I was given more proton pumps this time Pariet or Rabeprazole 20mg, Mottillium and Citotec for another 2 weeks. i am now on Pariet 20mg again and Antepsin. I feel a bit better when on medication but after I finish 2 or 3 days later the symptoms come back. According to your book Gastrites is caused by not enough stomach acid but I have been taking NEXIUM and RABEPRAZOLE to reduce acid in my stomach. I am confused.

I started the diet at age 21 and have had the most amazing results I could have imagined. Being 21 I figured that i would be a the prime of my life but I was always tired and cranky and completely disatisfided with my body. Im 5'6" and very lean/athletic but while my arms and legs looked great I had crazy swelling and bloating with constant irregular bowel movements so I knew something was wrong. I tried probiotics of all kinds. Tried diets, workout routines centered around abdomen slimming, thermogenics, everything I knew to be "affective". Then my grandmother had the book and I started my lifestyle change right away! Not even a full week into it I lost 2 inches in my waist from bloating and now a month into have become pesco-ovo-lacto-vegetarian (lacto for yogert and sour cream)and love every second of it. I am alive in the mornings and ready to sleep at night feeling well and balanced. I have now hooked one of my best friends who is a model. She eats super "healthy" but couldn't lose any weight and is going to have a positive outcome like myself along with my boyfriend who was a college athlete and now feels heathlier and getting more out of his workout then ever before. Thanks and BTD is great!!!

I have had a problem with my system for years. And not sure what the problem was. I remembered this book Eat Right For Your Blood Type. I got the book and started comparing and the foods I needed to get off of was the same foods the book said. I have done the diet for 5 days and I already see a difference in my system. I will continue this diet to see what more changes will come. I am a walker and love it. Have more energy now. Thanks

I am interested in learning more about this diet as well. Just turned 33 and it's like my digestive system has stopped all together. I don't think meat is good for me. Going to try the fruit, veggie and nut diet to see how my body reacts.

I checked out your book, "Eat Right for Your Type", from our local library after a suggestion from a close friend. My husband and I had our food allergies tested a few years ago and I was amazed that the list of foods to avoid for my type A blood dealt with a lot of the foods I tested allergic to! There really is something to this!

I have learned about this book a few months ago from my mother-in-law she and my husband both are type O, but I am type A. We have no clue what types our children are, but I do know they can not handle cow's milk either. Though for some reason lately I have been craving milk...IDK as to why. I do not like fish of any kind, but I can eat almost anyone under the table when it comes to chicken...It's like I can not get enough of it...I am not a big fan of red meat (especially since I have read the book) because I have noticed a big change in the way I feel since I have stopped eating it every once and a while I will eat it like in a homemade meatloaf. Other then that I do not eat it cause I can tell I do not have as much energy when I eat it as to when I do not...I just had to leave my thoughts...
