Ronagon, here s a quoted text of Dr Ds answering a similar question: he has done the testing himself, for the last 20 years or so......
Quoted Text
1. Read every scientific article on ABO blood groups published since 1900.
Pay special attention to studies which describe physiological and genetic relationships. This of implies that you must have the requisite training in immunology, hematology, biochemisty, genetics and pathophysiology.
2. Understand the cellular dynamics of ABO sufficient to develop appropriate technique.
Understand the molecular biology and elemental cytology behind ABH secretion, gut glycosylation and membrane dynamics. Understand the mechanics of cell membrane manipulation techniques, such as basic cell washing techniques, DTT de-antigenation and membrane electrical zeta potential. Understand and execute capably various direct and indirect antiglobulin techniques (Coombs testing). Possess basic cytology/histology apparatus (incubators, cell culture materials) to propagate organ-specific cell lines.
3. Capably and reliably execute various ABO related serological techniques.
Understand and perform capably saline titration of anti A, anti-B and anti-AB IgM antibodies with serum titer determination. Comprehend and perform capably anti-A and anti-B IgG1-4 block (ala Kabat and Weiner) titration.
4. Develop proper extraction technique for lectins and other biologically active food constituents.
Have access to an research grade electrophoresis device and understand capably the techniques of gel immunoelectrophoresis and immuno-diffusion. Possess a full range of cell growth adjuvants that allow in vitro lectins to behave as in biological conditions. Perform and understand various techniques of lymphocyte blastogenesis and mitogen studies. Undertand lectin specificities and competitive inhibition techniques involving blocking sugars.

I have a question in the same vein (my books are all in storage): if an avoid food agglutinates with the lectin and the blood type, what makes a food a beneficial versus a neutral?
The food does not raise the Urinary Indican (bowel toxicity) in that blood type.
The food protects against some disease with a known preference for that blood type, and does not show any negative aspects.
The immunological design of the digestive tract seems to indicate a distinct ability to metabolize the food well, perhaps as a result of anthropology or other variations.
The food contains an enzyme known to react positively with the antigen of that blood type.
The food does not stimulate an opposing blood group antibody reaction.
I suspect that that information is a good start, but may be simplified for laymen reading.

I also have some questions. I just finished reading Dr. James D'Adamo's book "One Man's Food". He seemed to heal people of different blood types but used a lot of the avoids that are now listed. For instance for type B he prescribed chicken and also soy but they are now avoids. There are also others but that is all I will mention for now. How was he able to heal his patients but now these foods are avoids??? I know there is ongoing research but this really seems strange to me. Thank you for your answers.

....he recognized that each of the 4 blood types thrived on certain foods and physical activities. In 1980, James D'Adamo published his observations on diet and exercise patterns for each blood type in a book called One Man's Food.
Two years later, James' son Peter, then a senior in Bastyr's Naturopathic program, began to substantiate his father's theory with objective research.

might be that Dr. J. D'Adamo is an SJ or NF (what I guess ENFP/J) and Peter is NT=(E)iNTp/j and here I am completely agreeing with Lola's suggestion and since computerizising's all became much easier& nano techniques....
How was he able to heal his patients but now these foods are avoids??? I know there is ongoing research but this really seems strange to me.
I suspect he had success with his approach because it was still a step forward, but was not as successful as with the application of the current level of knowledge that Dr. D has made available to all of us.

Back in the day...I remember not a few people swearing by the 'Olde Man'.
But that was before the LR4YT as far that goes. Since the Secretor Status info came out, most of them mind their Ps and Qs.

I began following the ER4YT diet in earnest one and a half months ago, (I've been toying with it for about a year now). My doctor told me I'm borderline hypertensive, Cholesteral 205 and HDL 36, and he wants to put me on medication, permanently. I have opted for the ER4YT diet, and over a tree month period, I expect my medical tests to show an improvement in cholesteral levels. A colleague at work is sceptical about the Blood Type diet. He sent me a link to this article at: http://earthsave.org/news/bloodtyp.htm.
In the article Michael Klaper M.D. expresses serious reservations about the Blood Type diet, after having read Eat Right For Your Type. He questions the absence of scientific documentation to back up Dr. D'Adomo's theories, and is very critical about the use of the fundamental ABO Blood types to determine diets for various blood groups. He seems to reject the notion that flesh and meats are beneficial to some blood types.
As a relative newcomer to the Blood Type diet, I am anxious about doing the right things to improve my state of health. Is he correct? And how can his questions and criticisms be definitively answered so he can correct the assertions made in his article?
