Hi Folks,

My sister is blood type B (+ I think). 56 years old, early menopause, probably Hashimoto's or other autoimmune thyroid issue. For years after her son was born (he had colic) she had sleep deprivation. (We both did a lot of soy back in the late 80s, early 90s). Overweight despite a very active life style. She doesn't do junk food but I haven't been able to get her to do the diets. (She told me she tried the Blood Type diet once for several months with no positive effect, but is vague on details and I suspect she wasn't hard core about it.)

She was diagnosed with a polip and then her doctor checked out her uterus and the endometrial lining is twice as thick as it is supposed to be. She is supposed to have exploratory in Dec, remove the polip and do a biopsy. Hysterectomy would follow. She's had two kids and as far as I know no fibroids. (I did and had a hysterectomy in 05, and they do sort of run in our family on both sides.)

I thought perhaps she is a Gatherer, but currently incline to Explorer. Her Daughter and my mom, also Bs, type as Nomad (unless my neice is a non-secretor, which my mother isn't).

I am looking for help-- Bs who have had success with improving uterine health on either of the diets, and what are trigger foods? She loves chicken and eats corn and pork too, but other wise eats pretty healthy for a B. She recently quit wheat. I would especially be interested in supplements and herbs that could help her, as she is very open to complementary medicine.

I love her so much and really want to help...

Thanks!

She has got to stay away from chicken & corn.  I don’t fret if I cheat on the diet with anything else but those 2 ingredients I am fanatic about.

Before BTD, left breast 3 times cysts drained, left leg benign tumor taken out, & left ovary benign tumor taken out.  The gyno wanted to do a total hysterectomy, I refused.  He wanted to send me to a breast surgeon, I changed gynecologists.  Knock on wood, I haven’t had a tumor in the last 10 years since I have been on the BTD.

The other bad thing is soy.  I suffered from those consequences during pre-menopause.

educate her first, she needs to be the one wanting a lifestyle change

ask her to come join the forum and meet other Bs

Thanks, guys.

RL, I hoping for just this sort of testamonial. Keep 'em coming folks!

Lola, I have tried but she doesn't seem too receptive. I will send her these links.

salvestroles, even MMS is todays in discussion to help with cancer, follow the anticancer booklet and lead her to down nearly all carbs; there's a fine link also http://www.orthomed.org to come along with advices for supplements and then the most significant thing is to get her bloodtype tested, dito secretor status....

wish you all good luck, greetings from Switzerland

I hope your sister will reconsider! As a B, i can say with 100% certainty that best thing i ever did was give up chicken!

before i gave up chicken i was struggling with cyctic breasts, ovarian cysts (not POCS, just frequent), random blood clots, fibromyaliga and inflamed fascia (the neural net covering over your muscles)... the last was very painful as it made my muscles stick together.

Within 3 weeks of giving up chicken, my muscles & fascia returned to normal - it was so obvious my massage therapist actually stopped the massage to ask me what i had done. Within a month my fibromyalgia was pretty much resolved. I haven't had a blood clot since. My ovarian cysts are gone, and i only have 2 very small cysts in my left breast now.

I think it was in the Live Right book where there is a list of the "top 8" avoids for Bs... even when things get busy and i slack a bit on my compliance i always make sure i avoid these:

chicken
corn
pork
tomatoes
buckwheat
lentils
peanuts
sesame seeds

I also make sure to avoid wheat completely... as an explorer, me and wheat do not get along and i feel much better off of it.

Oh, she may find that adding L-Arginine may be helpful to her. It's important for B's.

good luck!!

amazing results!!
thanks for posting!

Dr. D's little book in the health series on fighting cancer with the blood type diet is, in my opinion, one of the best resources for you and her.  There are great lists with each blood type of supplements and what they do, along with especially effective cancer-fighting foods for each type.

The book is not expensive, and it's even on sale right now!  http://www.4yourtype.com/prodinfo.asp?number=ED064S

The Encyclopedia also has a good section on different kinds of cancers and the recommended protocols.

A brief list of anti-cancer supplements is in the online protocols:

I've been eating a lot of chicken lately and I can tell it's not good..my back has been very sore and I honestly feel tired and sleepy a lot, its had to find fresh turkey here ..the ones I've found have additives and chemicals in them like processed meats ...I'm trying to stick to lamb and salmon only  

Thanks every one for all of these responses. They are so good I have sent them to a bunch of my Blood Type B friends. (nothing like preventative medicine!!!

With L-Lycine as well.

I actually have several copies of the cancer book I was able to find some remaindered ones and wanted to have them for giving to friends. I will pass one on to her-- never thought of it...

Check out sprouted broccoli seeds!

http://healthmad.com/nutrition/why-raw-broccoli-is-healthier-than-cooked-broccoli/

Only came across this a couple of weeks ago and waiting on delivery of organic seeds.

Sounds like a handy (easy) way to give yourself an anti cancer boost!

All the best for your sister!

PS: sneak a look into her 'Mother Passport" where all her pregnancys are listed- it will give her blood type!
