Would it be fair to describe a nonsecretor as having, in general, a "Membrane Transport Deficiency Syndrome"?

send us some links......

Lola,

There are no links.  I'm just asking a question, based on how I've read nonsecretor cell biology as behaving.

that name you gave it sounds very probable!

Howdy Ron,

Will you please elaborate?  As a fellow nonnie, I'm interested but clueless.  

Are you referring specifically to lower levels of IAP or something else?

Ronnie-O-Nonnie, I don't know if membrane transport is the issue, rather more intestinal permeability perhaps?  But if transport is the problem, Dr. Hans Neiper from Hannover Germany (deceased now), researched and developed several supplements that address this problem.  He put AEP or sometimes it appears as EAP with Calcium or Ca/Mg/K.  The first is the substance that is effective and the minerals are the carriers.  This allowed the correct things to go into the cell and the correct things to go out the cell.  I tried it some years ago because of cold intolerance and found it to be effective, but because I don't know what impact it all has on the digestive tract of a NS, I quit, since no testing was done on the substances as they relate to Blood Type Science.  Take care.  CB.

Well, my thinking that there's a membrane transport deficiency, is that I've been told that the nonnies have a harder time getting things both into and out of the cell.  They don't pull in calcium as easily, they don't pull in fats and carbs as easily, and they don't put out their blood type antigen as easily.

In essence, it seems as though the problem has to do with getting things across the membrane.  Unless I'm confused.

Can anybody rectify my thinking here?

sweety, isn't that merely the question of the electron donnors' .....when gap junction should function !!! Have to re-read as well   dito are fatty acids the implementing functioners....sooo I guess both have to interact for good work

that s also the reason people should learn to breath!
I believe the majority forgets how very important it is.
heard somewhere that in China there are facilities where people are taught to breath correctly.
oxygen is our friend!

I like to train my breathing through exertive swimming and karaoke singing...

yes, I ve met quite a few people taking singing lessons......
the breathing techniques applied are right on!

I heard orchestra conductors live longer lives because of the waving motion in their arms opens up their chest and lets more oxygen in.

My favorite group to sing, is the Police.  You really have to yell and breathe.  I also like singing Junior Walker and the All-Stars, the Bee Gees, and Journey.

I get mine through running 3 x week.   I'll start carrying a wand in both hands to add emphasis and increase lung capacity further.  Take care.  CB.

That would explain why I have to ingest more of anything to get the same result as a secretor.  Thanks Ron!

No problem, Mitchie.  But don't take my guess as gospel.
