My 76 year old wife is a type o with mid way dementia and diabetes.  I am 78, with my family too far away at this time to be able to help.  My daughter is a blood type fan, and reccomends this diet for us.

My wife is very fussy, and although I offer beef, she turns up her nose.  It goes better with the chicken.  My daughter says yokes are okay for her Mom, and today my wife had two eggs cooked in butter and enjoyed them.  Eating is a big problem, getting enough food into her at the right time is a struggle.  I am adjusting her insulin accordingly.  We bought some Ezekial bread and tortillas today.  Do you have any other suggestions?  My daughter is interested in getting some good fats into her, do you think this might help the dementia?

Also I am type a that has somehow lost 3 pints of blood in a 6 month period, leukemia was mentioned, any other ideas?

I appreciate any considerations on these topics,
Norman

dementia is helped with an ample supply of B vitamins especially B12 and folic acid...supplement with a B50 tablet and see if she will take one a day at least

b12 from beef, liver, lamb poultry and fish like Salmon, cod, halibut and ranbow trout...tuna  as well if she is picky about fish...fish also has a supply of good Omega 3  fats in them. Tablespoon of olive oil on vegetables or salads is another good fat she can have. Also if you can find it...clarified butter or otherwise known as ghee

folic acid from green leafy vegetables like romaine lettuce and broccoli

If you have leukemia...firm tofu which is soy bean curd is the best food for A's to fight any type of cancer...other cancer fighting foods for A's

Amaranth
Peanuts
Soy Milk
soy Beans
fava beans

make sure the tortillas do not have wheat in it unless it is sprouted wheat

if she doesn't like eating a lot of protein try a protein powder in a drink

For diabetes...stay away from wheat corn dairy, kidney beans and navy beans and eat red meat, walnuts
broccoli, kale, spinach with the seafood I already mentioned and for snacks, plums and pineapple

Pick up one of Dr. D'adamo's books like Live Right For Your Type for more info

hear dearle

oo please have an eye on alphalipoic acid; in such case I'd like to recommend minimum 4-600 mg's daily  200mg's  in the morning, 200in midday and 200 in the evening.
But please tell us before, what bloodtypes are you ?

Norman did give that information.

omG..thanks Don I overlooked this yech....

sorry that was my fault ...but I still insiste that alsphalipoic acid is the way to go for this double-
problem and even in literature ist' announce to take more. Would add some Zink & Chrom; and of course all the B-vits as a complex.

good luck

Thank you for all your kind advice.  I hope this reply will apply to all these helpful posts.

I will do the avatar soon, I am new to the forum experience, it will take me awhile to figure it all out, thank you for the welcome.

Complicating things is the fact that my wife has diverticulitis and is alergic to penicillin and fish.  Or maybe it is iodine, but anyway fish is out for fear of a reaction.  

So walnuts and fish are out unfortunately.  

I have a wonderful case manager from a local hospital who is very interested in my struggle to balance out the insulin and nutritional requirements.  My wife can be very picky, and won't eat red meat.  Any suggestions on getting the red meat into her?  We have cooked it in strips in oil, and put it in squash and no luck.  Chicken and turkey are the only two meats.

The raisin Ezekial went over very well.

Again thanks,
Norm

ground meat is easier to take.....try meat loaf or very thin hamburger patties, using ground turkey also.

here s some good advice from threads on diverticulitis

What about making a stew/thick soup with ground beef and lots of veggies, onions, parsnips, carrots, turnips, etc. Add whatever spices you like. Make sure to crumble up the cooked ground beef into small pieces so that it will get lost in all of the vegetables.

I was planning on making some of this myself this week.

and please think of adding proteinpowders, when she doesn't like her beef
